Summary
Brantack explains to Wendelin’s father, Sir Artur, that the deceased expedition army, which Alfred Rainford was part of, are now zombies. As the zombies are on their land, Artur is entitled to 30% of any profit gained from the zombies' materials, but Kurt greedily demands 50% and tries to insist the zombies and their belongings be left in the forest instead of being given proper funerals.

Wendelin realizes Kurt’s animosity and jealousy towards his success and is hated by the servants and villagers, who would prefer Wendelin inherit the lordship. Wendelin and his friends purify the zombies, including Duke Bleichroder’s father and even the lich grandfather of Marlene, the wife of Wendelin’s brother Herrman.

Wendelin assures her grandfather Marlene has a happy life so he gratefully allows Elise to purify him. Wendelin returns the armour of the villager’s relatives to them for funerals but then Kurt demands the armour be melted down and reused. Wendelin provides new iron so the villagers can keep the armour, though this only angers Kurt.

Duke Bleichroder surprises Wendelin by insisting he stay with his family for a while, though it is clear he is plotting something. Wendelin attends the soldier’s funerals whereas Kurt insults the villagers by remaining absent. Klaus, the village chief, secretly asks Wendelin to replace Kurt, and Brantack agrees, pointing out that through Bleichroder’s insistence Wendelin stay with his family, the entire royal court, including the King, implicitly want Wendelin to replace Kurt.
