After Tigre and Asvarre help the Moonlight Knights successfully repel the Sachstein invasion, the weary Moonlight Knights are suddenly ambushed by Greast’s army on their way to Brune. Tigre and Elen are separated from their allies and Mashas and Lim must lead the Knights in their stead. As Tigre battles Vodyanoy again, Muozinel invades Nemetacum and enslaves the Brunish folk. Meanwhile, Mila rushes to Tigre’s side. The two must save Elen from Greast’s torture and stop him once and for all.
It is considerably DarkerAndEdgier than all of the light novel volumes released so far.

** Mila stops Vodyanoy in the nick of time just as he is about to chop Tigre’s arm off.

* BreakTheCutie: Greast’s torture and AttemptedRape utterly breaks Elen’s spirit. She gets better.
* BullyingADragon: Greast probably should not have tortured Elen like that.
* CallBack:
** At the beginning of the volume, Tigre is mocked by some of his allies, just like the beginning of [[Recap/LordMarksmanAndVanadisVolume1 volume 1]].
** Mila’s BigDamnHeroes moment certainly echoes her previous one when her army comes by to help Tigre drive the Muozinellians out of Agnes in [[Recap/LordMarksmanAndVanadisVolume4 volume 4]].
** Greast captures Elen to be tortured and raped in Lutetia, much to Elen’s anger. Back in [[Recap/LordMarksmanAndVanadisVolume6 volume 6]], Eliot captures Sofya and almost does the exact same thing to her.
** Even further back, how Greast almost raped Elen is very similar to what Zion did to Titta in the second half of volume 1. Also, just like Zion, Greast gets his hand pierced by Tigre’s arrow.
** Elen’s HeroicBSOD over Greast’s MindRape and ColdBloodedTorture and Tigre’s consoling her mirrors what Elen did to Tigre when he lost Bertrand in [[Recap/LordMarksmanAndVanadisVolume5 Volume 5]].

** Greast subjects Elen to this during her capture. He stops short of kissing her and having sex with her, but he [[AttemptedRape attempts to get into her skirt]] right in front of Tigre when he is about to [[RoaringRampageOfRescue rescue her]]. What he did not realize was that Elen had lost all patience with him at this point.

* GreaterScopeVillain:
** Ganelon’s still an active player, as he is one of the demons that has the {{Durandal}} in his possession.
** Kureys and Damad are also lurking around, since they are involved in the Muozinel’s invasion of Nemetacum.
* HeroicBSOD:
** Tigre goes through a brief one when he feels that he has failed to let Elen be captured. He gets better.

** Mila when her Lavias [[NoSell]]s on the chains holding Elen.
** Greast does this when a royally pissed off Elen [[AnArmAndALeg chops his hand off]] as Tigre and Mila rescue her. He gets a second one when the Leitmeritz army and the Moonlight Knights have it out for him. Then [[RuleOfThree a third]] when he is captured by Denis.

* PlotParallel:
** Vodyanoy almost chops off Tigre’s arm; Greast gets his hand chopped off by Elen.
** Greast sexually harasses and attempts to rape Elen. Later, Tigre and Elen have passionate sex.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Tigre leaving to go rescue Elen on her own could have been averted if the soldiers had not been poisoned and tried to stop him from rescuing Elen.
* PyrrhicVictory: Sure, the Moonlight Knights has defeated Greast and Tigre and Elen consummate their relationship, but Muozinel has invaded Nemetacum and enslaved almost all of the citizens of southern Brune.
* QuitYourWhining: In the first half, Mila snaps Tigre out of his funk so that he can rescue Elen.
* RankUp: At the end of volume 13, Regin promotes Tigre as the Brunish Army’s commander-in-chief.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Subverted, although he does lick most of her body and fondle her breasts, he stops short of touching her lips or crotch. Then it’s almost played straight when he learns that Tigre is about to rescue her, but it doesn’t get that far.
* RapeLeadsToInsanity: Towards the end of this volume, Elen loses her mind up due to Greast’s ColdBloodedTorture and AttemptedRape. She eventually snaps out of it when Tigre professes his love for her, though.
* RealityEnsues: After being almost raped, Elen understandably goes into a depression.
* RoaringRampageOfRescue: Tigre launches a rescue attempt on Elen after he learns that Greast has tortured her for ten days, up until Mila shows up to help.

** Greast flees to his villa after suffering a VillainousBSOD but it doesn’t work out.
* SequelHook:
** The volume ends with Regin summoning Tigre to help end the Muozinellian invasion.
** Kureys has invaded Nemetacum and enslaved all of the citizens there, so we’ll no doubt be seeing him again next volume.
* SexyDiscretionShot: After kissing Tigre at the end of the volume, Elen teases Tigre about having sex. It then cuts to the next morning where they are naked in the bed together having just had sex.

* ShoutOut:
** Elen’s torture at the hands of Greast is taken straight from ''Manga/OnePiece''.

* VillainsWantMercy: Greast. Elen doesn’t buy that.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** Some of the Brunish nobility (except those who are loyal to him) call him out for his actions in their first defeat, which leads to [[ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself Tigre abandoning his troops to rescue Elen by himself]]. Given that some of these allies were poisoned and left the army, Elen has been captured and tortured and that the Muozinellian army is invading Brune, this is understandable.

* BreakTheCutie: Greast’s torture and AttemptedRape utterly breaks Elen’s spirit. She gets better.

* CallBack:
** At the beginning of the volume, Tigre is mocked by some of his allies, just like the beginning of [[Recap/LordMarksmanAndVanadisVolume1 volume 1]].

** Even further back, how Greast almost raped Elen is very similar to what Zion did to Titta in the second half of volume 1. Also, just like Zion, Greast gets his hand pierced by Tigre’s arrow.
** Elen’s HeroicBSOD over Greast’s MindRape and ColdBloodedTorture and Tigre’s consoling her mirrors what Elen did to Tigre when he lost Bertrand in [[Recap/LordMarksmanAndVanadisVolume5 Volume 5]].

** Greast subjects Elen to this during her capture. He stops short of kissing her and having sex with her, but he [[AttemptedRape attempts to get into her skirt]] right in front of Tigre when he is about to [[RoaringRampageOfRescue rescue her]].

* DidntSeeThatComing: Greast didn't see that the Moonlight Knights would finally make their move when Elen is rescued.

* FatalFlaw: For Greast, it’s his lust for Elen.
* ForegoneConclusion: Mashas reveals to Badowin that it will take at least two years for Brune to achieve peace. Also, the fact that Muozinel invaded Nemetacum and Nice meant that Tigre and his allies must stop them from reaching Nice.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Elen and Tigre finally have sex at the end of the volume.
* GreaterScopeVillain:
** Ganelon’s still an active player, as he is one of the demons that has the {{Durandal}} in his possession.

** Mila when her Lavias [[NoSell]]s on the chains holding Elen.
** Greast does this when a royally pissed off Elen [[AnArmAndALeg chops his hand off]] as Tigre and Mila rescue her. He gets a second one when the Leitmeritz army and the Moonlight Knights have it out for him. Then [[RuleOfThree a third]] when he is captured by Denis.
** Then at the very end of the volume, Mila is shocked to see that Elen and Tigre have had sex.
* PlotParallel:

* RankUp: At the end of volume 13, Regin promotes Tigre as the Brunish Army’s commander-in-chief.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Subverted, although he does lick most of her body and fondle her breasts, he stops short of touching her lips or crotch. Then it’s almost played straight when he learns that Tigre is about to rescue her, but it doesn’t get that far.
* RapeLeadsToInsanity: Towards the end of this volume, Elen loses her mind up due to Greast’s ColdBloodedTorture and AttemptedRape. She eventually snaps out of it when Tigre professes his love for her, though.

* VillainsWantMercy: Greast. Elen doesn’t buy that.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** Some of the Brunish nobility (except those who are loyal to him) call him out for his actions in their first defeat, which leads to [[ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself Tigre abandoning his troops to rescue Elen by himself]]. Given that some of these allies were poisoned and left the army, Elen has been captured and tortured and that the Muozinellian army is invading Brune, this is understandable.
** Mila also calls Tigre out for attempting to go save Elen by himself.
* WouldHitAGirl: Greast tortures Elen for his sadistic pleasure and attempts to rape her so that he can make Tigre suffer. It doesn't work.
