Giskal is tightened by chains and sitting infront of Angragoras. "What date is today?" he asks. "It doesn't matter you know it or not, is it?" Andragoras replys. "You know Hilmes, right?" Giskal says. "Hilmes is my nephew, he believes that I killed my brother, but I'm telling you, Hilmes died," Angragoras responds. "Is it true that you killed you brother?" Giskal asks again. "This is no need to be known by living people, but Hilmes just didn't understand this point. For that brat, imagination is always more believable than truth. This is very similar to your king," Andragoras answers. "I also have something to ask you, how's my Parsian army?" Andragoras asks. "They've taken over two Lusitanian castles," Giskal answers. Andragoras knits his brows, "Hm...Although Arslan is very young, he's a brave person." "It looks like Andragoras isn't happy to hear his son's feast," Giskal thinks. Suddenly he remembers Tahamine once said: "Give me back my child..." "It seems that there are potential problems in Parsian royal family," Giskal ponders.
Innokentis decides to have a duel with Andragoras to satisfy his stupid pride, but the nobles stop him. At the same time, Andragoras commands 10 horses and a 4-horse carriage, and he takes Giskal as a hostage. When the carriage passes the woods, Giskal is thrown out. Nobles order Lusitanians to fetch Andragoras and kill him. Giskal stops them and tells that it is fine to let Andragoras get together with Arslan, because it will separate the power of Parsian army. Another side, the worshipers of snake king are also planning something.
The battle between Parsian and Turans begins again. Darun catches a Turan soldier, Jimsa, and brings him to Arslan. Darun follows Narsus' plan to put Jimsa into dungeon and let him have the chance to escape. Jimsa does escape and goes back to Turan King, Tikatenihi, to tell the information which he thinks is real. Narsus' strategy succeeds again, so Turans are crushed. Jimsa is wounded but saved by Alfreed and Elam. Kibater knows Alfreed is a member of Zute clan, so he tells her that her brother, Melrein, is looking for her, but Alfreed refuses to go back. Narsus goes to see injured Jimsa and tells him to pledge allegiance to Arslan.
In the ceremony, Sinduran king, Rachendera, comes and stuffs himself with food. Gieve tells Narsus that he saw Silvermask digged out the holly sward, but Zendy put the sword back to earth.
The defeated Turans retreat to a plain, the prince, Irtalish kills the king, Tikatenihi, because he thinks that Tikatenihi doesn't have the charisma to lead troops. Under Irtalish's violent act, Turans obey him as the new king.
Andragoras comes to Pershwa and declares to take over all the power. He even tells Arslan to go to the southern bay area to collect 50,000 soldiers. If Arslan cannot do it, he will not allow Arslan to come back. This is ridiculous because everybody knows that all the force is already collected by Arslan. Andragoras doesn't let Narsus and Darun go with Arslan. Although Darun and Narsus are guarded, they still escape under Alfreed's and Elam's help.
In the morning, Arslan sees Darun, Narsus, Farangese, Gieve, Caswent, Alfreed and Elam come to join him...
