Ikta succeeds in a daring plan to cross the Kioka border and return the princess home.  But this means he gets a reward, and his reward is the title of Imperial Knight.  Now he finds himself dragged into a war he hates, serving a government that doesn't want to win, and despising the princess he rescued.
I accept your soulstones.
اقبلوا بأرواحكم الرّوحية
Ich nehme eure
Seelensteine an mich.
Acepto sus piedras espirituales.
Acepto vuestras piedras espirituales.
Je conserverai vos pierres d’âmes.
Accetto di buon grado
le vostre Pietre dell'Anima.
Cuidarei bem de 
suas pedras de alma.
Я сохраню ваши камни душ.
