Well is forced to make an unexpected return home when Duke Bleichroder asks him to purify the undead lurking within the Enchanted Forest. Yet what awaits him at home is his openly hostile eldest brother Kurt. Well intends to leave as soon as he completes his quest, but he`s forced to remain there without ample explanation.

Well is made painfully aware that he still doesn`t understand nobles by a few words from Brantag. To make matters worse, he learns about the plots of his brother`s wife Amalie, the people living in his homeland, and the royal palace, leaving him less and less room to maneuver. After debating it for a while, he finally makes up his mind and takes action.

However, the magic item he obtained was actually the Flute of Malice, a cursed item which gathers malice and turns the user into an undead. After unwittingly living up to the expectations of those longed for Kurt to be overthrown, Well takes his greatest gamble yet...
