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.
At an execution, a captured man pleads 'You can't kill me,' invoking the Wheel Rule that those shorter than the wheel cannot be killed. The king's council clashes: obey the rule to avoid united retaliation from the Eight Lords, or punish the culprit now to prevent future raids. They present an eight-feet wheel to satisfy the law; the captive accuses them of hypocrisy over past smaller wheels. Reluctantly the monarch orders him freed for Ystravia's sake. A defiant courtier then intervenes and attacks, and a cry — 'the wheel is taller than you?' — leaves the man's fate uncertain.
Xavier Taylor is betrayed by the Queen Dowager and the Queen's faction, set up to lead a doomed campaign. Captured by the kingdom of Northland, he is reduced to a hostage 'exchange student', dragged through relentless humiliation and even paraded before the enemy capital gates in a ritual of submission. At the darkest hour, when a servant girl named Erin is about to be violated, a modern soul suddenly transmigrates into Xavier's body. He inherits every memory of his predecessor and immediately grasps the conspiracy and the urgent crisis. A system awakens with brutal logic, complete tasks to earn rewards, survival, power and the means to retaliate. Trapped between shame and a mechanical lifeline, Xavier must follow cold missions to reclaim dignity and turn betrayal into leverage.
