Amidst the coup d'état in Britain, Elizard and Laura Stuart are restrained and taken to parts unknown. The two leaders take jabs at each other's misfortune, but Laura starts bragging about knowing how to remove the fifty restraints used on her body at the moment, even with Elizard stopping her from trying. With a blinding light and an explosion, Laura manages to set herself free, with the explosion barely destroying Elizard's restraints as well. As the two attempt to hitch-hike their way back to London, they overhear a conversation about Acqua of the Back through a felled knight's communication device. Elizard then uses a horse set free by the blast and leaves behind Laura Stuart as she returns to the capital.
