Diablo and his group arrive at the royal capital, Seven Wall, but the guards stop them at the gates. That explosive situation is resolved by the imperial knight, Alicia. She was awaiting their arrival and leads the group to an inn. That night Diablo reveals to Alicia that the church is out to kill Lumachina.

Lumachina asks Diablo to accompany her to the royal capital, so he decides to stop by Faltra City on the way. Diablo`s group is worried about Klem and Edelgard after such a long time apart, and Sylvie informs them that they`re at a bakery. Apparently the Fallen, Edelgard, had started a part-time job. Curious, Diablo and the others go to investigate...

Zircon Tower City's defenders are no match for Varakness' army. Varakness attempts to force Fanis to marry him.

Diablo, Shera, Rem, and Rose then battle the army while Lumachina heals the injured with Horn assisting her.

Later, a monstrous sand whale attacks the city and Diablo tries to fight it, but requires the help of Batutta and the city's leader, Fanis Laminitus.

Diablo inadvertently rescues the priestess Lumachina Weselia from an assassination attempt. As Lumachina had been praying when Diablo appeared she now believes Diablo is God.
