After driving the Bugnarak away from his kingdom, Gira challenges Racules to another Trial by Combat to decide who among them is the true king of Shugoddam.

Despite his victory against Rcules, Gira is unprepared and nervous to rule Shugoddam during his first day. In response, the four monarchs and Jeramie decide to put Gira through a series of tests for him to prove his worth as king. Concurrently, ever since Rcules' crime and Bocimar's death became known to the public, Duga resigned from his service as a knight of Shugoddam and is currently looking for a new job to atone his past mistakes, starting from working at N'kosopa.
