The Witch and the Demon Sword: Act II Ashaf instructs Guideau to delay Cugat so Helga can escape, but Cugat eventually overwhelms her. He takes Guideau, Helga, and Ashgan into custody, imprisoning both women in magical armor. However, Ashaf intercedes, and suggests to Cugat that Helga was framed for the murders by the Executioners. Meanwhile, the Paladin Corps guards touch the sword, which causes them to fight over it, until they are stopped by a Paladin commander. Guideau breaks free and tries to escape with the sword and Helga, but Helga is pulled back the Holy Church's emissary, who turns out to be an Executioner, and Guideau escapes with the sword and vows to return for her.
