After successfully capturing Klaus from the train, the Demon Bandits return him to the kingdom of Alter. There, Klaus’s father, the ruthless king, violently probes the Demon Bandits for more information on the “woman and child” that caused so much trouble in recapturing Klaus.

Eventually, the king gleans that Ms. Clock is not all she seems; she’s a Nextkin. Meanwhile, en route to rescue Klaus and waiting for the car to charge, Cast finds she really hates camping as she continues her SMITH training with Ms. Clock. However, the two are not safe either as other foes lurk nearby. Cast and Ms. Clock are being hunted by a mysterious trio consisting of Mr. Blind, a feline named Bilal, and Bilal’s striker.
