Satou and company continue their journey for the next ring. Hime becomes jealous of Satou taking care of Nephritis. Soon after, a large caravan appears before them which is the Land of Fire, Needakitta. They ask for an audience with the princess, but...

Satou trains with Marse, hoping to beat Granart in the sword duel to court her. Satou is torn between facing her fairly to look cool for Hime, and prioritizing his duty as the Ring King. However, the Abyss King's evil clutches are approaching Needakitta.

Satou visits Maasa, the Land of Water, and unexpectedly ends up marrying Saphir, the Ring Princess. Saphir believes she needs the Ring King's power to save her homeland from being controlled by the Gisaras Empire.
