A year after the Sanctuary incident, Anastasia invites Emilia’s camp to Priestella, promising access to a magic stone that might restore Puck. Subaru travels with Emilia, Beatrice, Otto, and Garfiel and reunites with the other royal-selection camps. The gathering exposes old wounds: Heinkel Astrea humiliates Reinhard and Wilhelm, while Subaru learns that Wilhelm blamed his grandson for inheriting the Sword Saint’s protection when Theresia died. Garfiel, still haunted by Elsa, encounters his mother alive under another name with a new family and no memory of him. Subaru also befriends the bard Liliana, complicating negotiations for the stone because its owner is infatuated with her. During an outing, Subaru, Emilia, and Beatrice meet Liliana performing beside Priscilla. After separating from them, Subaru finds a crowd entranced by Sirius Romanée-Conti, Sin Archbishop of Wrath. Sirius displays a captive child and throws him from a tower. The audience shares the victim’s injuries and joy, dying together as Subaru is killed. Return by Death sends him back to the earlier encounter with Liliana and Priscilla, leaving only minutes to understand an Authority that links emotions, wounds, and death across an entire crowd.

Subaru rushes to the tower before Sirius’s performance and tries to save Lusbel, only to learn that his friend Tina is also being held. Sirius overwhelms him and kills him, proving that foreknowledge alone cannot overcome her Authority. In the next loop, Subaru summons Reinhard. The Sword Saint destroys Sirius instantly, but everyone connected to her dies from identical wounds, including Subaru. Returning again, Subaru privately tells Beatrice about the danger. They conclude that Sirius spreads emotions and damage among those affected, making brute force disastrous. Emilia notices their secretive behavior and insists on joining despite Subaru’s fear of losing her. The three confront Sirius while Subaru and Beatrice work to free Lusbel and Tina. Sirius becomes enraged by Emilia’s resemblance to the Witch and battles her with chains and fire. Using Tina as leverage, she appears to burn Emilia alive, but another Archbishop interrupts. Regulus Corneas, Greed, protects the unconscious Emilia only because he has decided she should become his seventy-ninth wife. Subaru has prevented the mass death but loses Emilia to an enemy whose invulnerability and possessive logic are already familiar from the Sanctuary’s recovered memories.

Otto encounters Lye Batenkaitos near Priestella’s gates, confirming that Gluttony has joined the attack. At the tower, Subaru uses Invisible Providence to reach Emilia, but Regulus remains untouchable. Sirius mistakes Subaru’s Witch Factor for Petelgeuse and turns her fixation toward him. Following their Gospels, the Archbishops withdraw with Emilia, but Regulus gravely wounds Subaru; Sirius’s Authority spreads the injury through everyone nearby. Garfiel learns that the woman he met truly is his mother, rescued after the landslide but left amnesiac. He cannot reveal himself before the Witch Cult crisis threatens her new children. Subaru wakes in an underground shelter where Al and Felix have treated the survivors, while Beatrice has exhausted nearly all her mana healing him. Crusch, Anastasia, and Wilhelm explain that cultists control Priestella’s four watergate towers. Capella Emerada Lugunica, Sin Archbishop of Lust, broadcasts a threat to flood the city unless the authorities surrender the remains of a witch hidden beneath it. Garfiel promises his mother that he will find her missing family. Subaru realizes that Emilia’s abduction is only one piece of a coordinated siege involving Wrath, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.

Heinkel holds Felt hostage to prevent Reinhard from joining the defense, exploiting his son’s obedience. At the Muse Company headquarters, the camps investigate Capella’s name and the rumored witch remains, which only Priestella’s Council of Ten can access. Garfiel returns carrying a critically wounded Mimi after they encountered two resurrected warriors: a giant with multiple arms and a female swordswoman whose unhealing wound Wilhelm recognizes. Kiritaka explains that removing the remains would destroy the city and confirms that Capella has hostages. Subaru, Crusch, Julius, Ricardo, and their allies plan to retake city hall while Al searches for Priscilla. The assault meets transformed mabeasts and Capella herself, who appears as a dragon and mocks the attackers before moving deeper into the building. Julius remains ready to face the cult while Subaru and Crusch pursue the Archbishop. Their path is blocked by Roy Alphard, another Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, revealing that Lye is not the only bearer of that Authority. Elsewhere, Emilia awakens unclothed in an unfamiliar bedroom. Regulus calmly questions her purity and treats their forced marriage as a reasonable recognition of his rights, making clear that rescue must come before his planned ceremony.

Regulus introduces Emilia to a numbered wife who has learned to suppress every emotion to survive him. At city hall, Julius stays behind against Roy while Subaru and Crusch penetrate the building, defeat a dragon, and rescue a hostage. The apparent captive reveals herself as Capella, whose Authority lets her transform bodies at will. She becomes Emilia to ridicule Subaru’s love, tears off his damaged leg, and infects both Subaru and Crusch with dragon blood. Sirius attacks the Muse Company headquarters, forcing Anastasia and Kiritaka’s guards to retreat. Otto creates the distraction Reinhard needs to free Felt from Heinkel. The city’s watergates then open unexpectedly, releasing a torrent through Priestella. A transformed creature carries Subaru and Crusch away, but Capella’s attack knocks Subaru into the flood. From her captivity, Emilia watches the disaster while Capella broadcasts additional demands: the Tome of Wisdom, an artificial spirit, and no interference with Regulus’s wedding. The coordinated operation fractures the defenders and turns civilians into hostages of the city itself. Subaru disappears beneath the water carrying Capella’s curse, while the attackers’ demands reveal that Beatrice and the remnants of Roswaal’s Tome have become targets alongside Emilia.

Priscilla and Liliana rescue Subaru from the flood. Capella’s dragon blood has regenerated his missing leg and continues healing him, though the same infection is torturing Crusch. Priscilla destroys unleashed demi-beasts and leads Subaru into a refugee shelter, where Sirius’s Authority is amplifying fear and hostility. Liliana’s singing interrupts the emotional synchronization, revealing a possible countermeasure to Wrath. In captivity, Emilia tries on a wedding dress and watches Regulus nearly kill his numbered wife for displeasing him. The woman’s blank response shows how thoroughly his possessiveness has erased his victims’ wills. Subaru returns to city hall and learns that the defenders lost the Muse Company base but reclaimed the government office. He admits that Beatrice is the artificial spirit demanded by the Cult and that the Tome of Wisdom was burned. Despite Crusch’s condition and widespread casualties, Subaru insists their objective should be a happy ending that saves everyone rather than merely limits losses. Emilia secretly listens to Regulus arguing with Capella through a communication metia and learns that neither claims responsibility for opening the gates. When she tries the device, Al unexpectedly answers, creating a hidden line between the captive bride and Priestella’s surviving defenders.

Al relays Emilia’s information about Regulus, Capella, and Beatrice to the defenders at city hall. Garfiel rejoins them, shaken by Mimi’s injuries and the danger facing his mother’s family. Subaru proposes using Priestella’s central broadcasting metia to oppose Sirius’s Authority. Because the citizens are sharing panic and despair, a citywide message of hope might give them an emotion strong enough to resist. Garfiel nominates Subaru as the speaker, and the others agree. Al warns that accepting the role will make Subaru responsible for thousands of expectations, but the challenge convinces him rather than deters him. Meanwhile, Emilia learns that Regulus murdered everyone connected to his wives and reduced each woman to a numbered possession. She promises the wife beside her that she will help, even though she cannot yet escape. Subaru addresses Priestella honestly, admitting that he is frightened, imperfect, and unable to guarantee an easy victory. He nevertheless identifies himself as the man who defeated Sloth and the White Whale and promises that the heroes gathered in the city will defeat the Archbishops. His confidence spreads through the shelters, loosening Wrath’s hold. Emilia hears him and declares her faith, while Reinhard and Otto arrive to join the counterattack.

Otto admits that he brought the burned fragments of Roswaal’s Tome of Wisdom to Priestella, hoping they could be restored and used to detect future schemes. Subaru visits Crusch, whose body is deteriorating under Capella’s blood. Touching her transfers part of the infection to his own arm and eases her pain, but Crusch stops him from taking more. Wilhelm identifies the resurrected warriors attacking Priestella: Kurgan, the Eight-Arms of Vollachia, and Theresia, his wife and the former Sword Saint. He explains that her Divine Protection transferred to Reinhard during the failed White Whale expedition, contributing to her death and the family’s lasting resentment. Priscilla and Liliana volunteer to face Sirius, using song to break Wrath’s emotional network. The remaining fighters divide among the towers: Wilhelm and Garfiel confront the corpse warriors and Capella; Julius and Ricardo hunt Gluttony; Subaru and Reinhard rescue Emilia from Regulus. At the church, Emilia questions whether Regulus understands love or merely ownership. Her refusal to validate him drives him toward violence. Before he can strike, Subaru and Reinhard smash through the entrance and introduce themselves. Emilia’s delighted response begins the coordinated counterattack and confirms that Subaru’s promise reached her.

The defenders launch simultaneous assaults on all four towers. Priscilla and Liliana head for Sirius, Garfiel and Wilhelm engage Kurgan and Theresia, Julius and Ricardo confront Roy, and Otto encounters Lye while searching for the Tome fragments. At the church, Regulus threatens his wives to restrain Subaru and Reinhard, then chokes Emilia until Reinhard surrenders. Regulus kills the Sword Saint, but Reinhard revives through a Divine Protection and resumes the fight. Subaru and Emilia try to evacuate the numbered wives, yet terror of Regulus prevents them from moving. They instead observe the battle, searching for the mechanism behind his invulnerability. Otto learns that two Gluttony Archbishops are active and distracts Lye after the Archbishop expresses interest in Subaru. Julius and Ricardo struggle against Roy elsewhere. Garfiel and Kurgan are swallowed by a mass of flesh created by Capella, while the real Archbishop targets Crusch and Felix. Every battlefield exposes a different Authority or resurrected legend. The plan has stopped the cult from acting freely, but none of the heroes has yet secured a decisive victory, and Regulus’s ability appears to violate ordinary time, damage, and even death.

Capella confronts Felix and a woman appearing to be Crusch, claiming she cannot cure the dragon blood. The supposed Crusch is Anastasia in disguise; she blasts Capella into a prepared underground trap where Al waits. Against Regulus, Subaru, Emilia, and Reinhard test repeated attacks without producing a wound. Emilia recalls that his wives call him “Little King,” prompting Subaru to connect the Archbishops’ names with stars from Earth. Priscilla’s resistance initially protects her from Sirius, but the Archbishop manipulates Liliana and a crowd of civilians through shared emotion. Priscilla shocks Liliana free with a kiss and orders her to break the spell through song while she fights. Sirius lands a blow by provoking Priscilla with stories tied to her past. During the Greed battle, Emilia notes that Regulus’s touch felt strangely empty. Reinhard confirms that Regulus has no heartbeat before being hurled high into the sky. Subaru deduces that Regulus freezes his own body in time, creating an invulnerable state called Lion’s Heart, but sustaining it indefinitely must require an external substitute for his heart. He sends Emilia toward the wives and announces the secret aloud. Regulus’s furious reaction confirms that Subaru has found the path to defeating him.

Priscilla survives Sirius’s attack by transferring damage into treasured objects. Sirius insists that forced emotional unity represents love, but Liliana openly rejects the contradiction, breaking the Archbishop’s serene facade. While Priscilla occupies her, Liliana climbs the tower and sings to Priestella. She remembers growing up in a traveling bard family, leaving at thirteen to become the “king of bards,” suffering years of mediocre performances, and finally discovering a song that connected her to audiences and Kiritaka. Her voice now reaches the civilians trapped within Wrath’s Authority and restores their individual emotions. Sirius tries to use Tina as a hostage again, but Priscilla rescues the child and knocks the Archbishop into the canal. The collapsing tower sends Liliana into the water, where Kiritaka saves her. At the Greed battlefield, Subaru explains that Lion’s Heart alone cannot account for Regulus’s permanent invulnerability. The title “Little King” suggests a kingdom whose subjects carry his burden. Subaru concludes that Regulus has distributed his heart among his wives and asks Emilia to sever that connection. The conflict’s two fronts mirror each other: Liliana frees citizens from a compulsory shared heart, while Emilia must free the wives whose hearts literally sustain their captor.

Emilia returns to the church and asks Regulus’s wives to help defeat him. The woman called Number 184 reveals her name, Sylphy, and the wives finally admit their hatred and fear. Emilia discovers that Regulus places his heart within them, letting him stop his own time indefinitely. Believing their deaths are necessary, the women prepare to sacrifice themselves, but Emilia refuses that solution and freezes them safely instead. Regulus remains invulnerable because he has already treated Emilia as another wife and transferred his heart to her. Subaru uses Invisible Providence to locate and crush the foreign heart without harming Emilia. Vulnerable for the first time, Regulus retreats into outrage and demands a fair duel. Reinhard returns from the sky and accepts. The Sword Saint launches Regulus upward, then drives him into the ground. As he dies, Regulus recognizes Emilia as the child from Elior Forest and curses her, though she barely remembers him. Emilia awakens the wives, now free to use their names and emotions. Subaru trusts that their allies can win the remaining battles, while Greed’s defeat proves that refusing sacrificial arithmetic can still produce victory.
