Inside the library of Asgard Academy, the genius Julia Ashford attempts to kill Luke Vane, a former servant, only to be shocked as her body involuntarily moves to protect him. Luke reveals that he has used a forbidden power to bind Julia as his Pact Beast. Under the absolute laws set by the Archmage Merlin, a Pact Beast can never harm its master. Enraged, Julia summons the hellhound Cerberus to attack Luke, but the action triggers a contractual penalty, leaving her shackled and hoisted up by magical golden chains. Surveying the proud Frost Rose from a position of victory, Luke declares that her "taming" is about to begin.
