A knight of the Abyss King injures Satou. Alabaster explains the ring draws power from Satou and Hime’s marriage, and since their marriage is only a formality Satou is almost powerless. Satou is forced to flee the kingdom with Alabaster, Hime and Marmarugius. Alabaster reveals Satou will need four more rings to achieve his full powers, so Satou will need to marry four princesses with rings from other kingdoms. Hime is not happy at this. The rings were crafted by the first Ring King to seal away the Abyss King generations ago. Each of his five wives received one ring each and founded the five kingdoms. Hime blames herself for Satou’s lack of power, but Satou finally confesses to her and Hime admits she loves him back. As they are too nervous to have sex they decide to date first. Alabaster is disappointed by their decision. Their first destination is Romca, kingdom of the elves whose princess holds the Wind Ring. Unfortunately 50 years ago a wind barrier appeared around Romca that prevents entry by any species except elves. Elven hunters show them an underground passage so they can meet the princess. Unfortunately, Princess Nephrites is terrified by anything from outside Romca, and when she learns Satou and Hime are married she runs away to be sick.
