— Time passed after the incident with the Ulgarm witchbeasts.
Peace returned to the territory belonging to the eccentric perverted nobleman. At least, that's what a majority of the people housed at Roswaal's residence thought.
However, unbeknownst to them, a new issue was beginning to sprout.
Rem: "...Sister, please come here for a moment."
Ram: "Hm? What is it?"
Rem: "Look over here, at this flower."
Ram: "......They've already wilted? But they've just bloomed recently..."
The elder sister spoke with a hint of confusion. Due to this, Rem began to examine the wilted flower. However, the moment her fingers made contact, the flower fell from its stem.

Once the dead flower landed on the ground, it caught the attention of a certain magical nobleman.
Roswaal: "Well, well. What happened here?"
Ram: "Lord Roswaal..."
The man in question delicately picked up the dead flower and looked at it with a thoughtful expression and responded vaguely.
Roswaal: "With the royal selection drawing near, the timing of this is most unpropitious... It seems that something quite troubling has found its waaaay here..."

Meanwhile, much like Roswaal, everyone else housed at the mansion seemed to also pick up that something was amiss in the air.
It reached all the way to the Forbidden Library, notifying the caretaker.
