Yoko gets some visions from her sword again warning her about assassination attempts and Keiki.  In Ryuu Rakushun and Shoukei are set free thanks to a bribe from Shoukei.  They then set out to find Yoko.  Later Rakushun talks to her about her responsibilites as a princess and why she should have been more involved and stopped her father.  She begins to see things differently after this.  Asano and Suzu arrive at a port in Kei and set out to take Sheishuu to a doctor.  Yoko goes searching for the people she say at Enho's and this leads her to a bar where she runs into the boy she saw the other day that ran off.  His name is Seki and he helps her get out of a sticky situation there.  Suzu and company arrive in the village where Queen Kei is and she leaves Asano and Seishuu to find a place to stay.  Asano runs away from Seishuu after having another memory from falling off a cliff.  Seishuu wanders after him and falls in the way of a carriage.  The carriage continues on even when Seishuu doesn't move and runs him over.  When Asano sees this he jumps on the carriage and aims the gun at the man who calls himself Shoukou.  Yoko sees this also and picks up the boy who asks her to tell Suzu not to cry for him.  When Suzu sees him die in Yoko's arms she begins to cry.
