As the Dark Lord enters the room with Julius, she confronts them, accusing for killing the people of her village. The Dark Lord reply and offers her to join him, but she denies.
Julius tries to convince the villain to use another method to extract the secret of mana from her, but he refuses, and leaves the Heroine in charge of the mysterious woman, called Marley. He then reveals that the Airship is heading to Granz's Castle, so there's still plenty of time to reconsider the offer, and the two leaves.
The Heroine starts looking for a way out, but Marley refuses, saying she has been a Granz's servant for a long time. After asking about Granz, Marley shares her knowledge, among other things, revealing that the Dark Lord is the son of Lord and Lady Granz, also that Vandole sought out Cibba to learn about the Mana power, and when he went to the sanctuary, he became tempted by this power.
Ending this dialogue, the maid suggests to go sleep, the Heroine agrees and asks the other to leave, the Heroine then asks herself if Bogard and the Hero are okay, and the scene cuts.
The next day, the Airship starts to shake, the Dark Lord enters the room and soon one of his soldiers reveals that it is a consequence of a reactor malfunction, and they are looking for the cause. Another soldier enters and says that the outside of the reactor shows signs of magic tampering, after a while, the Dark Lord orders to prepare to land the Airship on Westlake. Then, after failing persuading her, the Dark Lord leaves.
Resuming control of the protagonist, talking to Marley she suggests the Heroine to read a book. Going to the desk, the Heroine feels a magical power coming from a book and begins to read it, in short time, she discovers that there are several secret passages and that the room was previous to Lady Granz, Marley, however, does not say her name due to it being cursed.
Reading the diary again, she discovers that the closet with the Asp emblem has a secret passage, convincing Marley to leave, the Heroine prepares to escape. Wisp will appears, and after reveals that it was him who breaks the reactor, will soon leaves, and the Heroine ventures into the ship.
Going to another room, hidden the Heroine overhears the Dark Lord talking to Isabella about his mother Medusa, in which he argues that if he has the Mana power, he will be able to save her.
Suddenly, a soldier will enter the room and report that the Heroine escaped, and Marley was taken away too. Thereby, the Dark Lord orders to see Julius, but since he is holed up in his room, the Dark Lord will soon leave the room after him, leaving Isabella there.
When the Heroine leaves the closet, she is discovered by Isabella. After questioning her intent with the Dark Lord, Isabella will say to have joined him for being a Mavole and that they always look for bonds with strong rulers, but also calmed her down by telling her that she is not her enemy.
The Heroine speaks that she must save Marley, so the other one discover that she is the fugitive. After a conversation, Isabella lets the Heroine go warning her to be careful with Julius, which is neither human and neither a Mavole, so the Heroine leaves the room.
When this happens, one of the soldiers discovers her, and she demands to see Julius, but the Dark Lord appears. Telling him that she wants to save Marley, he is surprised that she doesn't see the maid as her enemy, so he asks her to follow him.
Going to one of the rooms, they find Julius and Marley. Soon, the Heroine tells Julius that she ran away alone, the Dark Lord will also intervene to spare Marley, but Julius does not agree, claiming that in doubt the law of punishing must be fulfilled. This angers the Dark Lord who demands Julius to release Marley, but he mocking him to not let his emotions get the better of him.
Marley then asks the Dark Lord if he truly desires the total destruction of the Mana clan. Knowing this intention, the Heroine will gets anger and even dares him to kill her now, but will demand that Marley be left out of it.
However, Julius will declare that the Dark Lord's thoughts have changed, and all he wants is the key to Mana's sanctuary, so he asks the Dark Lord to entrust him with the Secret of Mana, who agrees. Therefore, Julius asks them to leave for the Granz realm, and Marley and the Dark Lord get out of the scene.
Once they are leaved alone, Julius starts to torture the Heroine by casting dark magic spells on her several times, and asks her where is the key. The airship shakes as it departs, and the scene cuts again, moving now to the intersection of the two stories (SEE BELOW).

However, the other one will deny, accusing Granz for abandoning his mother and brother, the same way the Mana Clan did to his mother, whom they could have saved with their magic.
Cibba tells the Heroine to look for the truth and leaves the scene. A soldier enters and says that the magic is too strong, and if it continues like this the airship will go down, the Dark Lord orders to treat the Heroine's wounds and the soldier leaves with her.
After a brief reflection of Julius, the scene opens in the airship corridor, which the soldier taking the Heroine reveals to be Bogard. He will say that they need to break the reactor, causing the Airship make an emergency landing, and that one of the soldiers has the key to the place.
