Despite the day of sealing looming closer, Lucia experienced the bliss of love like she had never before. There was more good news for Keitel. His close friend, Victor had been rescued from a pack of demons. Keitel had assumed his friend had been killed by Laurence.
Victor was worse for wear but made a rapid recovery. Keitel felt a sense of relief to have his old friend back at his side. Victor, likewise realised that much had changed in the palace. The greatest change was Keitel himself.
Although their friendship resumed as before, Victor saw how Keitel doted on Lucia. Victor quickly put his past resentment aside. Besides, there was hardly time to complain. The Empire was making the last preparations to seal the demonic door.
In Veldeer, Michael finally felt ready to complete the sealing. At first, the visions of the mysterious white-haired woman appeared to Michael regularly. However, as time went on, they progressively disappeared.
