Count Lenest Astorius plans to return the right of succession to Belamus, who has proven himself unusually resourceful. But Belamus, who remembers his abandonment and loves the family who raised him, has no intention of complying with the count’s wishes. In a bid to settle things amicably, Riza violates her knightly principles to tell a desperate lie…But her wish proves to be in vain as things take a turn for the worse. United under the cause of reclaiming Astorius’s son, human soldiers led by the count and a large force of monsters disguised as humans march for the village! Includes new bonus illustrations!
