Xavier storms a banquet, revealing "I killed them" after executing Prince Derek's personal guards and taking nobles hostage. He names the next victim while Prince Derek tries to bluff back, warning that his father, the king of Northland, will raze cities and exterminate Ystravia if anyone harms him. Derek orders Xavier to kneel and pleads for mercy to spare his people, but Xavier mocks their cowardice, forces the King of Ystravia to kneel, and refuses to submit. The episode closes with Xavier's vow that Ystravia will not rest until Northland is destroyed, leaving the hostages' fate unresolved.
