Leina camina fuera de la ciudad cuando se encuentra con Melona y le dice que la derrotará por atacar a los viajeros. Melona se burla de Leina por ser una luchadora tan débil y dice que solo quiere luchar contra guerreros decentes, ya que participa en Queen's Blade, un torneo que se lleva a cabo cada cuatro años para decidir quién será la próxima reina. Risty está observando la batalla desde un costado, y justo cuando Melona está a punto de matar a Leina, Risty interviene y le salva la vida. Poco después, Nanael aparece en el campo de batalla, con la esperanza de encontrar una batalla potencial, solo para encontrar el lugar desierto. Risty atiende a Leina hasta que se recupera y la lleva como prisionera de regreso al Castillo de Vance para recuperar la recompensa por su cabeza. Cuando Risty llega al castillo, Claudette aparece y arresta a Risty por ser una ladrona y la encarcela en la mazmorra del castillo. Sin embargo, Risty escapa y roba la coraza heredada de la familia Vance.
