The new manga is set one year after the final battle with Glenn, with Elseria crowned the empress of an empire that is now chaotic and filled with dissidents. Köinzell, now Lord Viceroy Ascheriit, is assisting Elseria with stabilizing the empire, alongside the imperial general Geranpen, his chief official Ato, and the Blatt Meister Ikfes. In the Empire's southern frontier, a new threat emerges in the form of The Knights of the Fallen King, remnant loyalists of Glenn who believe in his eventual return, and are sowing unrest in the empire's far reaches.
