The count's son was not to her liking, but the words of the captain of the Inquisition seemed quite reasonable to her, and the option of parting peacefully in the current situation seemed more preferable than bloodshed. Perhaps they would even allow them to use their equipment to search for Ryohei? Maybe, Eir was just a naive fool who didn't understand anything in this world, but she couldn't understand why she and her brothers and sisters had to die for someone and something unknown. Nevertheless, after she voiced her opinion once, it became clear that the others did not share her views regarding the count and the current situation, and she had nothing left to do but shut up and grip the hilt of her saber tighter.

On the same day, Gungnir visited Myrkoria, having learned that Duke Arnulf von Illia had redirected their detachment to Myrkoria, which was probably not in the baron's plans. On the same day, they all, together with Imelda, returned to Baldr.
- I am not proud of what Hecate and I planned, - in the final moments of the conversation with Gungnir, Rutger did not say that everything that was happening was solely at Hecate's initiative, and he was only following her lead, believing that he was just as involved in what was happening as she was, - but in the end, these warriors can only blame themselves. Those who do not have power are doomed to serve as a means of fulfilling the dreams of those who do.
Having learned about the details of the Rivelstein's scheme, Gungnir felt the need to do everything possible to prevent the plan, but he perfectly understood that he simply could not do this in the current situation, and therefore he had to leave everything to fate.

A week later, the count's couple's plan was realized - Rika Serdolik fell in battle against thousands of mercenaries and soldiers, as well as the immortal Zeno. Thanks to the efforts of the elven sorceress and the vampire of the East, Rutger regained his lost health, and he and Hecate gained youth for many years to come. The fate of Tyros, who wanted to take his father's place next to Hecate, remained unknown.

On Matthias's birthday, a church burned down in Baldr. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but it soon became known that Almandina was to blame. Ever since she learned about the real state of Arteria, her spirit had weakened greatly, and what happened to Rika, apparently, broke the last thread that kept her from breaking down.
***
- After what happened to Gungnir, Emilia von Breckenndorf became very weak and lost her former energy, and six months later she followed her husband.
- Not finding any other options, since none of the characters of the opposite sex leveled up their friendship with them, Claudia Aham and Gregor Philanemo got married in 780 and continued to live in Baldr.
- Eisen and Cecilia left Baldr, preparing to fulfill the roles assigned to them in the impending conflict.
- Matthias von Breckenndorf became the next ruler of Baldr.
- Almandina had two fates awaiting her: either, after the reconstruction of the church, she would return to her priestly duties, or, if he offered it to her, she would continue her life's journey with Anselm.
- Viktor and Amelia said goodbye to the townspeople and disappeared in an unknown direction.
- Buvardia Milano, never waiting for her knight in shining armor, went on adventures full of adrenaline-fueled battles and sweet nights.
- Hans and Christoph continued to serve as guards of Baldr.
- To his surprise, Eir von Walravn took Gungnir's death very hard. The filial feelings that she had for him in the depths of her heart only came out when it was too late. Staying in Baldr, where every corner reminded her of her second father, turned out to be too difficult for her, and so she left.
- Imelda spent six months under the close attention of Eisen von Mariendorf, and her mental state improved (also an option for Anselm).
- After the construction of the railway station, Christina began to visit Anders with favorable prospects for a joint future.
- Britta gave birth to a son from Weserod.
- Gerda is available for Weserod (if he decides not to stay at the bottom of the mine).
- It is unlikely, of course, but Eitel, Berta and Gunter are free options.
- Arselias Akatalle, the last sorceress of Isselia, could not fulfill her plans in Serberia. Unfortunately, the pupils she cursed, Gungnir and other inhabitants of this country, did not play a key role in her fate.
- Norbert achieved great success in Tamfan and was always glad to see his fellow countrymen from Baldr.
- Yukina continued to terrorize the inhabitants of Western Vistaria, transferring most of the profits remaining after the organization's expenses to Mirai.
- Leon Julius Lunge joined the anti-government coalition.
- Eugen von Breckenndorf continued to carry out the crown's assignments, but secretly waited for an opportunity to make Elheim an independent state, both from Serberia and Rohental. Under his leadership, this province showed rapid growth and became one of the safest corners of the kingdom.
- Karl Esser fled from Serberia.
- Diablo, for a reason known only to himself, decided to leave the Baldr guys alone and began to look for battles in other parts of Vistaria.
- Ludolf Lalik continued to expand his business both within the kingdom and beyond, trying his hand at new products, etc. Over time, his "bunny girls" became known throughout Vistaria.
- Egilmar Goldenrod joined the anti-government coalition.
- Lillian, the artist from Galgan, found the strength to travel through Vistaria.
- The Forest King of Galgan avoided the fate that Arselias Akatalle had prepared for him.
- Sebastian Carte became the champion of a grand tournament in Artoria - not least because many of his opponents simply remained without equipment. Later, he will join the army and become one of the most effective officers in the kingdom.
- Raimund Drache and Burgundia began dating and went to see Vistaria together.
- Meinrad Michtardt continued to serve the countess and work for the good of his family.
- Astrid von Blankenfels forbade her husband from leaving the borders of Myrkoria, and since Lalik's business in Illia was not successful, he would hardly see the "bunny girls" he desired.
- After winning the archery competition, Roland Carte gathered the courage to start courting his beloved.
- The fates of Weserod, Ryohei and Alessia are up to you. The latter, if she survived, could inherit Eisen's clinic when he decides to leave, but she would not even recognize the new "Alessia" as her former student, even if this information somehow became public.

Regarding the curse of Syzygy - it was a so-called "anxiety curse". It had no effect at all, except that the character sometimes experiences an inexplicable feeling of anxiety. I did not reveal the real effect solely to better convey the meaning of this curse and the sadistic nature of the elf - the fear that something bad may happen to your character at any moment.
