However, despite all the patriotic fervor Candace Liao is more realistic about the war than her father or her sister. She prepares to secede her duchy, the [[St. Ives Commonality]], from the Confederation rather than fight a hopeless war and gives Justin a recorded message to leave behind at Bethel, hoping to broker a private peace treaty with House Davion.

Meanwhile in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], Duke [[Frederick Steiner]] is plotting to usurp the throne with the backing of Duke [[Aldo Lestrade (31st c.)|Aldo Lestrade]]. They attempt to draw the aging former [[Archon]] [[Alessandro Steiner]] and [[Ryan Steiner]] into their camp, but because of his disdain for Lestrade, Alessandro Steiner decides not to support Frederick's coup and even pass his message on to Archon [[Katrina Steiner]], in order to further his and his heir-designate Ryan Steiner's own agenda.

Justin Xiang personally leads the successful attack on Bethel. Just as he deposits the holodisk with Candace Liao's message he is confronted by an assassin sent by Romano Liao; his aide [[Alexi Malenkov]] shoots the assassin. On their way out they are confronted by 'Mechs from the local garrison – incidentally, [[Andrew Redburn]]'s unit. Justin Xiang personally defeats and humiliates his former friend.

On [[Lyons]], Duke Aldo Lestrade has reluctantly allowed the [[Heimdall (organization)|Heimdall]] refugees from [[Styx]] (whose retreat was compromised when they helped in the [[Silver Eagle Affair]]) to settle in the newly-built town of New Freedom on orders from the Archon, but has ordered the [[Kell Hounds]] mercenaries away, ostensibly so that Lyons would not be regarded as a military target. Shortly afterwards, [[Clovis Holstein]], who remained behind at New Freedom as a teacher, finds himself, teacher Karla Bremen and thirty children holed up in a bunker as Kurita troops attack and ravage the town, indiscriminately executing the population. Trying to get a message of the attack to Morgan Kell he is caught, but saved by the sudden appearance of Dan Allard in his ''[[Wolfhound]]'' – the Kell Hounds have returned and are hunting down the attackers. They jumped back to a [[pirate jump point]] near Lyons when they learned of the Kurita attack, but it means they will miss their arranged fight with the Genyosha on [[Ryde]]. Analyzing their defeated opponents' computers they find that the [[ISF]] felt the Styx refugees posed a danger to the Draconis Combine (presumably because of the Silver Eagle Affair) and had ordered their extermination. The Kell Hounds deduct that it was none other than Duke Aldo Lestrade himself who set the unwanted colony up to be destroyed, to further his own political agenda. At this, Clovis Holstein reveals that he is Duke Lestrade's illegitimate son and announces that he will personally kill his treacherous father.

At the Liao palace, Justin receives a commendation and decoration for the Bethel raid. He learns that Maximilian Liao's wayward wife [[Elizabeth Liao]] was recently found dead, presumably killed on Romano Liao's orders but officially reported to have died in a swimming accident. Also, [[Tormano Liao|Tormana Liao]] is missing and presumed dead on [[Algol]]. On 20 May 3029 news arrive that House Davion has launched a fifth wave of attacks. One of the targeted worlds in this fifth wave is [[Sarna]], where Xiang had secretly stationed the remaining four regiments of [[McCarron's Armored Cavalry]]. The initial attack force – the [[5th Syrtis Fusiliers]], incidentally a regiment more loyal to the late Michael Hasek-Davion than to Hanse Davion – is wiped out by the powerful defenders, delivering the first defeat of the war to the Davion troops.
