Plot
In the Peace of Mind Inn cafeteria, Celes visits Diablo's party to inform them that she's found someone who could remove the slave collars off Rem and Shera's. The person in question is a Slave Merchant who set up their caravan in the market recently. Alicia chimes in noting the importance of their mission at hand involving the Kingdom of Greenwood. However, Diablo decides that resolving the matter with the slave collars won't hinder their progress with the Kingdom of Greenwood.

Afterward, the group at the slave market where Diablo is a tad surprised by the slaves treatment there. The owner of the establishment Medios greets the group and at first believes that Diablo is trying to sell off one of his "slaves". This earns Medios a sharp retort from Diablo whose magical energy starts to exude out of his body, to which, Medios notices. Shera also details that she can see Diablo's magical power as well, which shocks Rem and Alicia. Eventually, Medios reads the letter written by Celes about Rem and Shera's situation and agrees to help them. Medios also notices the magical flow coming from Rem and inquires if she got pregnant from a Demon. A scene between Rem and Shera occurs and Medios then details that the energy could be from a Fallen. Diablo cuts in and demands that they learn how to remove the slave collars from Shera and Rem's necks. Not feeling well, Rem decides to wait outside and is joined by Alicia and they have a heart to heart with each other. Back inside the caravan, Diablo learns how to remove the slave collar through magical flow and physical contact. Astoundingly, Diablo makes incredible progress so briskly.

That night it's learned that Diablo quit just as they were about to finish the ritual. The reason behind this is due to how intricate and potent the magical behind the slave collar is. Immediately as Alicia was going to retire to her personal room at the inn, the sound of a flute could be heard and from outside there room stands a young looking male elf. Said elf, was Shera's older brother Keera who cordially introduces himself to the group. Furious at the man, Diablo confronts Keera noting how he put a bounty on Shera's head and he confirms it. Keera then states that he was informed of a group of bounty hunters failure to capture his sister. Apprehensive with Keera, Diablo openly states he has no intention of handing over Shera to him, but Keera merely states that he's glad to see his sister in good health. Furthermore, he relays the blame for the bounty being placed and the threats of war on his father. Shera doesn't buy her brother's act and although Keera acts in an apologetic manner, Rem doesn't buy it either stating she's inclined to follow Shera's opinion of him. Not wanting to start a scene, Keera leaves, but details he'll return the following day and asks what if Shera decides to return home on her own free will. Thinking nothing of it, Diablo answers that there's no way she would ever think that. Later, Rem and Shera talk with one another and it escalates rather quickly into a playful scuffle between the two.

At the Kingdom of Greenwood, Keera stands on top of a tall tree while playing his flute. When finished, he proclaims that Shera will be his again and she'll bear his child.
