Brune Civil War Arc

Brune Civil War Arc is the fifth story arc of Arc One from Madan no Ou to Michelia series. This arc featuring the alternative version of Brune Civil War but rather Duke Thenardier and Duke Ganelon from the original incarnation, this time it's both Prince Regnas-who is actually Princess Regin in disguise-and Prince Bachelard who start the for starting the civil war when the latter accuses the former for his near death by her assassination. To make matter worse, Tigre and Mila (alongside with her fellow Vanadises such as Olga, Elen, Sofy and Liza, with the latter of which used her Faris persona to visit Brune) are dragged into the civil war when the archer is imprisoned by Bachelard under pretense of "betraying" Brune for being an ally with Mila, though he manages to escape courtesy to Mila, Olga and his childhood friend Ludiene Bergerac. Aside from that, it also covers Thenardier's sinister ambition to take over Brune in the midst of civil war, Tallard's involvement in the Civil War and his friendship with Bachelard,

Part 1
Elsewhere, Roland is wandering in the woods after his escape from Bachelard's attack onto Navarre Citadel, though he is being separated from Regnas in the progress.

part 5
Afterwards, Thenardier walks and remarks his plan to take over Brune in the midst of the chaos. Coincidentally, he meets Urs along the way and asks him in regards of his decision to send Tigre to Olmutz 4 years ago. Urs only replies that it was Tigre's request so he can see the world, only to be confused to see Thenardier leaves instead after hearing his answer.

Ganelon's Reign of Terror
At Nice, Ganelon beings his reign of terror by performing a public execution of the 200 "criminals" for their alleged "treason" against Brune. The public execution is so brutal that everyone remains silence whilst helplessly watching the execution of the victims out of fear of the consequences of their interference. Just as Ganelon is about to execute the latest victim, a father of a beheaded girl, Bachelard intervenes by grabbing the executioner's arm and calls the Duke out for this brutality and despite Ganelon's claims that he just wanted to exterminate the prince's "enemies", he rebukes by claiming his jurisdiction as Nice's guardian by dissolving the public execution and orders the "sinners" to be imprisoned at the dungeon instead. Out of everyone, only one man angrily confronts Bachelard over the deaths of his wife and daughter only to be horrified by the prince's brutal question about him avoiding death that led to his family's gruesome fate, as well as Ganelon's replies about to the dungeon he "didn't hear" his plea.

Part 2
With only the duo remains at the front yard, both Bachelard and Ganelon have a conversation about the Duke's brutality but Ganelon ask the prince instead about forgetting his goal in destroying all enemies while casually kicking a girl's beheaded head. Bachelard replies that that decapitating the civilians is unnecessary since they can hold them as hostage but the Duke persists the execution regardless of the prince's protest, much to Bachelard's discomfort as he asks Ganelon about the purpose of such brutality, only to be shivered by Ganelon's answer that all of this are for an offering for a mysterious deity.
