The chapter opens with a flashback to a time when Renji's daughter was unable to loan Renji the army because she was pregnant. She became a dragon, and Renji was forced to make a binding with his wife. Renji is shocked that the family used an ancestral note to force him out of his throne. The ancestral note says that a dragon keeper cannot be emperor, and that Renji should be brought over to the royal court. He explains that he is here to get Renji and bring her over so that he can take over the throne. He tells Renji that the only way to succeed or fail in life is whether or not the family got the "Achilles heel" from Renji. As long as Renji can become an emperor, no one will be able to stop him.
