While there, Lugh witnesses the tragic sight of people suffering because of his target. Based on information gathered by Maha, Lugh plans his assassination.

Lugh is hired to assassinate Dia by her father Count Viekone, who is an old friend of Lugh's father Cian. Cian asks Lugh to fulfill Count Viekone's request, saying he'll carry out the assassination instead if Lugh turns down the job.
