The mystery behind Phantasma's long history of eternal spring, determined by the power of the Queen's love, begins to unravel--with Hemel's shocking explanation of the background behind Reino's birth! Through this, Phantasma and Yuna learn that one must be sacrificed at the expense of the other. As Reino's transformation as the Lord of Darkness nears, what will happen in this tragic tale?

As the veil of Queen Freyja’s curse upon Phantasma is slowly lifted, Ehren discovers that all he believed to be true regarding the eternal spring may have been fabricated and that the truth may have painful implications for Yuna. Meanwhile, Yuna experiences unusual changes and no one knows who or what is causing this condition, but as time passes, all signs seem to point to Reino.

Phantasma's dire situation has brought out a change in Ehren Hwerusute. The once warm and loving person has been replaced by someone consumed by rationale and logic, whose sole goal is to save Phantasma from its long-time curse. But his drive prevents him from seeing that the one thing he needs to help the kingdom, the very principal upon which the kingdom is built, is love... morePhantasma's dire situation has brought out a change in Ehren Hwerusute.

But his drive prevents him from seeing that the one thing he needs to help the kingdom, the very principal upon which the kingdom is built, is love. Meanwhile, Libera has her own problems when she learns firsthand about the pain love can bring, especially if it's for someone unexpected! And Reino proves he isn't invincible to love either as he confesses his feelings to an unrequited love... less

Disaster and destruction strike Phantasma as Yuna embraces her feelings for Rieno. Torn between her longing for Rieno and her duty as Queen, Yuna spends each day in agony. Meanwhile, Libera is also struggling with a secret love, an unspeakable love that leaves her horrified and humiliated. As thunder and lightning fall from the sky, chaos reigns throughout the land. Will the people ever trust their queen again? And will the knights stray when they learn of Yuna's love for Rieno and not Ehren?

Yuna decides that she loves Phantasma and wishes only for the happiness of its people. For this reason, she requests Ehren to find Rieno so that she can say her last farewells before she fully embraces her duties as Queen. She then throws herself into her work without even stopping for food or sleep in order to rid herself of lingering thoughts of Rieno. Will the strain be too much for Yuna to bear?
