The death of an Archdemon sends waves throughout the world of sorcerers. As his estate is auctioned off, an elf woman goes up for sale, and the sorcerer Zagan is stricken with love at first sight.

After a very bland breakfast, Zagan realizes he has no idea what people normally eat. Nephy offers to make him a homecooked meal, and the two set off to buy ingredients from a nearby town. However, financial troubles and highwaymen prevent smooth travel.

Chastille and several other Angelic Knights assault Zagan's castle, but he's unwilling to start stacking up bodies with Nephy around. When his hesitation puts him in danger, Nephy unleashes her own power to save him.

In an effort to give Nephy power she has some control over, Zagan takes her on as an apprentice. However, after a meeting with the 12 remaining Archdemons, he begins to doubt whether he can give her a normal life.

Devastated and alone, Nephy is found by the people of Kianoides and comforted by Chastille and Manuela. Just as Nephy steels her resolve and decides to return to Zagan, she's spirited away by magic from an unknown source.

For investigates the old Archdemon's castle in order to find weapons to wield in her quest for revenge. However, before she can enter the estate, she's beset by Raphael.
