Two years after Lordlake was razed by her Sun Rune, Queen Arshtat dispatches her son the Prince, her sister Sialeeds, and their royal bodyguards Lyon and Georg Prime to inspect the state of the ruined town. The Prince sees the grim state of the dried-up town and report on it, but Arshtat scorns this; she declares that Lordlake's citizens deserve their desolation for stealing the Dawn Rune. Arshtat's husband Ferid pulls her back to her senses, and she dismisses the inspection party with a whisper. The next issue of contention is the Sacred Games for Princess Lymsleia's hand in marriage, being held somewhat early for the ten-year old Lymsleia. The two main contestants, both representing themselves with a champion, hail from rival noble houses: The foppish Euram Barows, and Sialeeds' former fiance, the charismatic Gizel Godwin. The royal family, however, favors the mysterious outsider Belcoot, as a neutral option less likely to cause strife; the Prince attempts to aid Belcoot quietly with Ferid's approval. However, Gizel successfully rigs the Games to his advantage, and his champion Childerich defeats a drugged Belcoot while the Barow's champion is disqualified. However, Lord Marscal Godwin, Gizel's father, is less than impressed with Gizel's activities, thinking that he has made an enemy of the Prince and the royal family as a whole with his plotting. Additionally, the royal family took Zegai, the Barows champion, into their own personal custody, who could perhaps help reveal the Godwins cheating and offer an excuse to annul the engagement. Thus, the Godwins launch a preemptive attack at the engagement ceremony in Sol-Falena, Falena's capital. Arshtat and Ferid had anticipated and prepared for the attack, but not the involvement of the elite Nether Gate assassins, who overwhelm the palace's defenses. The struggle culminates in Arshtat and Ferid's deaths, while Lymsleia finds herself a captive. The Prince Ardil, Lyon, Georg, and Sialeeds are forced to flee.

Manga adaptation of Penthesilea's interlude side-story from the Fate/Grand Order mobile game.

Imagine that on the way to your high school field trip, you and your whole class wake up only to find yourselves jailed inside a large room, with an AI on a monitor telling you that you and your classmates are on a space ship, and are the only humans survivors in a post-nuclear doomsday earth. Such is the condition our main character Ryuuki Chibano finds himself in. The AI Sophia, announces to the confused class that as the caretaker of the remaining humans, she will provides all of their living necessaries, incomes, and personal safety- as long as they keep their newly found metal bracelet on their wrist. The class will become a “nation” inside the room, and the bracelet is akin to one’s citizenship. Taking off one’s bracelet means that the person surrenders his position in the class and all but the most basic living necessities. In return to this, however, one can exit through the only exit door in this room, as that person is no longer part of the nation. Once outside, the double doors will lock up and that person shall never enter the room again. There will be no food, no water, no recourse for that individual. Ryuuki, who always has problems with authority, took off his bracelet upon hearing that. From that moment on, he became an outsider of the class, one who sees everything as an observer and viewed by others as a lecher of resources. As the days become months, the friction between the class and Ryuuki heats up. But this is not the only thing the class has to worry about. It turns out that their “nation” is only one of the 8 forces on a giant 2D game board, where the winner takes all the resources, leaving the losers virtually nothing. Who are the other forces? Who is the AI? Was there really a nuclear war? What will become of our main character? Will he leave the room? What will he find outside? (Source: Crazy Cake)
