Jinto temporarily leaves the navy and heads for the recently recovered Hyde Star System on a chartered passenger ship to set up an anti-matter fuel supply chain and establish his earldom. So she doesn't suffer the way she did in Lobnas II, Lafiel also leaves the navy so she could be with him. However, being naturally self-sufficient, planet Martine insists on remaining independent of the empire which is mainly focused on space exploration and interstellar trading. Lafiel points out that the factories are operated in space and need not require cooperation from the surface world. Worried about his finances and to prevent his plans from stalling, Jinto sends the chartered ship to monitor the situation in Martine while he proceeds to Delktou to recruit vassals to handle clerical duties of the anti-matter fuel factories. Meanwhile, Samsonn is in the imperial capital on Jinto's behalf to recruit technical and mechanical specialists. It is there that Seelnay's company finds him and offer their services. At the same time in the navy, as one of the captains of the new class of assault frigates, Sobaash attends the inauguration of the newly created 1st Infringement Fleet under Commander Atosryac. It is revealed that the fleet will eventually serve as a military training ground for members of the imperial family to ensure that the next ruler is an able military tactician and commander.
