Meraldia is now at peace, but Veight is still as busy as ever. It's going to take him time to adjust to his new life as a father and learn how to juggle work and parenting. Now every time he gets called away to Kuwol or the far reaches of the desert, he knows he has to finish as quickly as possible to make it back home to his family. Fortunately for his daughter Friede, she inherited her mother's intelligence and wit and his strength and vigor. While her tomboyish nature may get her in trouble at times, she's still more than capable of handling anything that comes her way.

Though the Doneiks’ Rebellion has been put down, the political situation in Rolmund is more tumultuous than ever. While Ashley is crowned the new emperor, his hold on the country is tenuous at best, and the war for succession could hardly be considered over. With Veight busy running around the capital to shore up support for Eleora, the new emperor's older sister, Dillier, makes a shocking proclamation. She has married the current head of the Bolshevik family, Shallier. The same Shallier who betrayed the Doneiks and surrendered to Eleora at the start of the civil war. In this rapidly shifting political landscape, will Veight be able to safely guide Eleora to the throne?

The reborn werewolf known as Veight now leads the Demon Lord's third regiment under the title of Vice-Commander. Having conquered the trading hub known as Ryunheit, he soon learns the struggles of governing a city of mixed human/demon population. Armed with an understanding of inter-species relations and a desire for peace, he spends his days quelling violent demons and pacifying disruptive humans in his pursuit to bring balance and tranquility

Having been selected to join Meraldia's delegation, Friede, Yuhette, and Shirin make their way to the frigid Rolmund Empire to meet with Empress Eleora. Once there, she encounters Eleora's niece, Micha, and the two become fast friends. One day, while they're exploring the capital, a group of people plotting Eleora's demise abduct Micha. Friede tracks them to their hideout, and soon realizes that she won't be able to count on backup. Alone, she infiltrates the enemy base in order to save her friend.

Airia has become the new Demon Lord, but Veight's job as the Demon Lord's Vice-Commander hasn't changed. With Meraldia finally at peace, he's free to focus his efforts on bringing the nation greater prosperity. But his peaceful days don't last very long as a messenger from the southern nation of Kuwol arrives at his doorstep. Their country is on the brink of civil war, and Kuwol's king wants the demon army's assistance in quelling the unrest. Veight sends Parker over to investigate the situation, but soon after they arrive, civil war breaks out, and he goes missing. Determined to get his friend back, Veight sets out on a journey to find Parker.

With the alliance between the demon army and Ryunheit complete, Veight’s dream of inter-species coexistence has come to fruition, with the city prospering like never before. At the same time, ominous rumors of a “hero” with strength rivaling the Demon Lord himself start circulating in the north, where the second regiment is on the losing end of a prolonged battle. Veight rushes with his master to confront this famed hero at the fortress city of Schverm, but he finds the Demon Lord has beaten him to the punch. Who will emerge victorious in this battle between the two strongest people in existence?!

With the eight southern cities joining forces with the demon army to create the new Meraldian Commonwealth, Veight's dream of creating a nation where humans and demons can live in harmony is almost within his grasp. Upon discovering the sword recovered from the battle at Zaria is an heirloom belonging to the viceroy of Krauhen, Veight sets off to return it as both a gesture of goodwill, and as a way of putting Krauhen in his debt. On his arrival, he meets not only Krauhen's viceroy, but also a dangerous foreigner, the imperial princess Eleora. This meeting sparks a chain of events that culminate into one epic battle between the north and south, deciding Meraldia's fate once and for all!
