But now is the time for a counterattack. After deciding that their next move should be to liberate the Chou army’s homeland of Keiyou from Gen control, strategist Ruri comes up with a plan that will fully utilize the Princess Imperial, Kou Miu, and the Heirloom Seal of the Realm. The naive princess’s time with the Chou and U armies has revealed the reality her people and country face, and her resolve may turn out to be the only thing that can stop Ei from being totally destroyed.
