Hermit decides to eliminate Prince himself, but Sensei prevents it and defeats him. When they arrive there, Hermit admits that he really has betrayed Prince, which he did to save his school, and Shogun himself has guaranteed his safety for doing this.
Sensei is certain that Lynx was sent to kill Prince because of it so he accompanies Prince to confront Hermit. Prince thanks Sensei for helping him and tells him how he escaped his kidnapper and about his soldier's affair with Hermit.
Sensei responds by fighting Lynx and defeating him, saving Prince's life. Fortunately, he bumps into Sensei, and he screams for his help. However, Prince is still not safe, as he is chased by Lynx, an assassin hired by Hermit. He also learned that his soldier is trained by a certain Hermit. He was kidnapped by Butcher, a bandit hired by Shogun. Unexpectedly for him, this breaks Widow's heart so badly that it caused her to become obsessed for revenge and manipulating Shogun to overthrow him. He met Widow, and she fell in love with him.
