In "Ordeal," King Conan, recovering from poison, vows to uncover the truth behind Prince Conn's death—leading him to confront Baron Aemilius, who demands a trial by ordeal. As the Baron is submerged in the sacred pool, Conan intervenes, pulling him from the water to extract answers. Meanwhile, Lysander, one of Conn’s surviving guards, stirs from unconsciousness, and Prince Taurus, drawn into forbidden magic, vanishes in a storm of fire and feathers.
In "null," Prince Conn of Aquilonia finds himself drawn into a dangerous game after a brawl in Numalia, the second city of Nemedia. There, he teams up with the cunning thief Ruffius, who lures him into a wealthy merchant’s tower under the promise of treasure—only for the plan to turn deadly when the old man’s true nature is revealed and the theft ends in murder.
