Clyffeton
The small army of Seabrook arrive in Clyffeton. Eryc says an emotional goodbye to Cheryl and Robyn and rides out alongside Russel. Victoria says goodbye to her father and is approached by Robyn again. He tries to comfort her, but she refuses to give in and walks away.

Carlysle
Julian and his army ride north for Newgate. Suddenly a huge group of Newgate scouts attacks the vanguard in an ambush. The Lion Knights fight valiantly, but Theresa is in trouble. She's kicked in the back by a horse and falls to the ground, when she is taken by their leader, Tyrone Brooks. Julian is screaming for her after the short battle, but also gains even more hatred for the Newgates. He sends a large group of riders to look for her.

Clyffeton
Victoria is in her room, wondering about the world, jealous of the men who are allowed to go to battle. Robyn knocks on her door, which makes her even angrier. She opens the door and suddenly hits him in the nose. She ties him up to her bed, locks the door and climbs out of her window. In the middle of the night, she steals a horse and rides out of Clyffeton.

The Bloodvault
The two armies of the most powerful provinces in Scaeptre meet outside a Newgatian fortress, the Bloodvault. The battle is a little bit in the favour of Newgate, but they both know Carlysle has two more allies coming to help them.

Clyffeton/Radclyffe
Lawrence is sleeping in his cell, when Cheryl comes to his door and flirts with him. They shockingly kiss and Cheryl opens the door for him. She leads him to her sleeping quarters, where they also have sex. In the meanwhile, the Seabrooks conspire against the Radclyffes, secretly planning to kill them all and take the crown for themselves. Russel starts a duel with Eryc and calls the Knights of the Sea to help him. Eryc is killed by five Knights and a Duke, hopelessly falling to the ground. Thus end the alliances of Carlysle.
