Plot
Mujika and Sonju make their way to search for the high priest. Long ago, those who could convey the Demon God's voice oversaw the temple. They appointed the king of every generation and helped to govern the citizens.

However, due to Mujika's father and the nobility, their faith was distorted, and the temples lost their power. Even so, some citizens pay their respects to the temple, especially the high priest and the four wise men.

But after the "promise" was forged, the high priest allowed the people to violate the doctrine. It was so they could protect their lives. But to alone for that, the high priest observed the faith on his own. It is because of him that people can eat cultivated human meat. The high priest and his followers quelled the anger of the Demon God.

When Mujika and Sonju find the high priest and his followers, the latter resembles puppets. But they are still alive.

Sonju wants to revive the holy men with his and Mujika's blood and, after that, make the high priest king.

Meanwhile, Peter Ratri receives a report that the Queen is dead and that most likely, the regent houses and their families have met their end as well. Peter's men cannot believe that a group of children has managed to bring the Queen down.

Peter sees the opportunity to take the throne for his own. Now, he must wait for the children to rescue their comrades. They all make the return to Grace Field House, and waiting for them at the entrance is the one and only Isabella.
