Even after the victorious war, Lim found Elen's uncharacteristic mercy on the enemy archer, Tigre. Despite irritated and skeptical upon Elen's decision, Lim reluctantly had Tigre rode her horse and warned him that she would not hesitate to kill him if he do something funny.

Tigre's Days as Elen's "Prisoner in War" in Leitmeritz
Back in Leitmeritz, Lim woke him up by putting her rapier into his mouth, as a warning for Tigre for his "defiance" of Leitmeritz's rules. She was also surprised to see Tigre slept so comfortably and begin to wonder if Tigre had forgotten his position as Leitmeritz's prisoner of war. The rumor that Elen fell in love with him at the first sight had Lim wonder if Tigre's imprisonment has caused Elen's uncharacteristic mercy to any adversary. Her skepticism against the sole prisoner of war is short lived however when Tigre proved his worth by injuring the assassin, who was attempted to assassinate Elen (later committed suicide by biting off his tongue), in a far distance. The soldiers, particularly the archers, were enamored and shocked by his amazing archery skills and thus Tigre earned respect from these very soldiers. But the soldier's admiration did not cease Lim's skepticism upon Tigre.

Some moments after his brave rescue, Tigre is summoned by Elen over the office and talked about his talent. Like Elen, Lim is shocked as Tigre declined her offer as a part of the Zhcted Army. Outside Elen office, Lim questioned Tigre about his refusal upon Elen's offer, which. When Lim claimed that is otherwise, Tigre's sincerity

During Tigre's stay in Leitmeritz, Lim witnessed the sparing between Tigre and Elen. When Tigre accidentally groped Elen's breast, Lim rushed and used her sword to point at Tigre and asking for Elen's permission to kill him. Despite her disgust about Tigre, Lim had to comply as Elen explained that she was careless and if she inflicted her frustration upon Tigre, the name of Leitmeritz would be tainted. As days passed by, Lim was angry as she found Elen and Tigre together without her supervision. With Elen's gift, a teddy bear to calmed her down however, Lim was blushed red and decided to forgive Tigre all for Elen's sake.

Battle for Alsace
Lim joined Leitmeritz Army to aid Tigre for rescuing Alsace from Zion's atrocities. While arriving Alsace, Lim and the Leitmeritz soldiers find an escaping Zion and other Thenardier Army in Alsace.

Lim reported the news to Elen while participated a meeting between Elen and Tigre to defeat Zion. As Elen decided to strike Thenardier Army in Molsheim Plains, Lim dispatched 100 soldiers to defend Alsace while herself lead the 600 decoy troops to assist Elen and others. During her preparations, Lim collected as much ropes from Alsace residents for her traps.

Battle of Molsheim
During Tigre and Elen battles against Zion, Lim was leading a decoy army to distract Zion's soldiers from Elen. Her intervention allowed Elen faced against the Earth Dragon alone and easily decimated it with her Vanadis power. Just as Elen defeated the Earth Dragon, Lim's troops began their false retreat to lure some Thenardier soldiers into their traps, successfully ambushed them. Lim then remarked about Alsace resident's trust upon Tigre. With Thenardier Army's morale was running low, Tigre and Leitmeritz Army finally cornered Zion and his remnant soldiers. After witnessing Tigre's solo duel against Zion and emerged victorious, Lim also witnessed the combination powers of Tigre's Black Bow and Elen's Arifar's wind to slay an escaping dragon while killing Zion in the progress, causing his former army's morale to collapse. As the result, Leitmeritz Army was victorious and Alsace was under Leitmeritz's control. Lim joined the victorious army to celebrate their victory and others to rebuild Alsace.

Alsace Under Leitmeritz Control
As Elen finished talking with Tigre and Titta, Lim would asked Elen that if Tigre's unlikely collaboration between Elen worth her trust so much while herself would not trust the Earl of Vorn even if his skills were acknowledged by herself.

Just as the Silver Wind Vanadis went to Silesta for her meeting with the king, Lim remarked that Tigre's astonishing arrow shot was remarkable and he and his heirloom would become targets to other Vanadis should they learn of this incident; which led her worries that Elen, as the Vanadis of Zhcted, whose decision to interfere the Brune Civil War was not a simple matter. Despite her worries, Lim could only sigh as her duty maintains as priority to assist Elen as much as she could.

Tigre's Insurgency Against Thenardier and Ganelon
Whilst reading a book in Vorn Manor's library, Lim was confronted by Mashas Rodant who assumed Alsace has fallen into Zhcted's hands. When Tigre returned from Alsace countryside and explained everything to Mashas, who later apologized for his early assumption, Lim also apologized for her previous rudeness to Aude Earl. During a meeting, Lim and Mashas were shocked to witness Tigre's decision in retaliating against Thenardier and Ganelon for Alsace's peace and required support from Brune's authority for his cause. Regardless, they respected Tigre's decision and went along with it. Under Mashas's suggestion, Lim and Tigre began to seek their first ally: Territoire's Hughes Augre.

Seeking Hughes Augre: Tigre's First Ally
Together with Tigre, Rurick and Bertrand, Lim went to Territoire's capital Belfort. When Tigre negotiates with Hughes he immediately accepted his offer but there are job that Tigre need to do before Hughes can join and the task is to subjugate the bandits on Territorie.

As Elen angrily asked Lim about inviting Ludmila Lourie, Olmutz's Frost Mind Vanadis into the mansion without her permission, Lim's only reply was that she cannot refused a Vanadis's request, much to Elen's chagrin in anger and the argument between the Vanadises frustrated Lim, only to be surprised to see that the argument was stopped by Tigre's word, which surprisingly changed Mila's mood. Like Tigre and Mila, Lim joined Elen's invitation to Rodrick's Hot Spring.

As the group departed from Rodrick, Lim and her group were surrounded by the Seven Chains Assassins and seemly successfully repelled some of them. However, Lim collapsed after she was bitten by a poisonous snake (which was in midair) and began to be numbed much to Elen's horror. Tigre immediately tended to her and made an emergency rescue by sucking out the venom from her right breast while Elen began to worry over her condition, before they were ambushed by more assassins. In their sitting duck situation, Lim and her group were narrowly saved by the Frost Mind Vanadis while maintained unconscious until she is sent to Rodnick for immediate treatment.

As she finally awoken from her slumber and recovery in a nearby hut, Lim saw Elen crying in relief while learning that Tigre rescued her from such peril. Although her face remained red after the incident, Lim was further speechless when Elen blamed herself for being stunned after seeing her poisoned. At the same time, Lim's view about Tigre began to change slightly while seeing him asleep at the foot of her bed. When told by Elen to wake him up, she attempted to wake him but seeing him (unconsciously) fondle her breasts causing her to become more embarrassed. Lim promptly beats Tigre up.

Just as Tigre was leaving Leitmeritz's main camp, Lim gave Tigre her bear pelt for warmth and disguise, which she initially found it cute but later denied to Tigre's questions. The disguise was working as Mila barely recognized him as another hunter and Tigre found the short cut for the fortress.
