The siege of the city continues for five days, and the peace treaty between the Western theodor Empire and the Sagarian kingdom is annulled. Runpo tells the Queen that the attack was carried out by a small group of mercenaries, who entered the city during the banquet. He tells her that the King of the kingdom is an advocate of peace, and that he is responsible for the attack. He urges her not to pay the mercenaries back for their humiliation, but instead to counter the attack by sending reinforcements to the city.
