Episode 5 Story

To help a bored Serafina find some excitement, Veor gathers the strongest warriors from the village to hold a mock battle tournament. Serafina easily defeats the powerful challengers one after another, taking them down with a single blow. Finally, the mock battle between Serafina and Veor begins, but things take an unexpected turn.

Introduction

For centuries, the Kingdom of Ildren in the West has sought to conquer the "Barbarians" of the East. Serafina de Lavillant, the "Princess Knight" renowned as the strongest in the kingdom, is defeated during a particularly fierce Eastern campaign and taken prisoner.

"Guh... Kill me!"

Expected to endure days of humiliation following her defeat, the female knight finds a completely different fate awaiting her instead: marriage to Veol, the King of the Barbarians! Despite his passionate proposals, Serafina rejects him with a steely will.

However, as she experiences their foreign culture, meets new people, and discovers the true face of Veol beneath his fierce reputation, Serafina's heart begins to change...!

The curtain rises on this "Otherworld Marriage Tale" between a Princess Knight and a Barbarian King—former enemies bound by fate!
