The Beginning After the End episode 2, titled The King Under Attack, commenced with a focus on the Leywin Family as Reynolds tried his best to teach Arthur and nurture his strength. However, Arthur was much stronger than his father. So, Reynolds and Alice engaged in a debate to send Arthur to the main city, which ended with everyone going on a trip to find Arthur a worthy teacher.

The next day, the Leywin Party got ready for their trip as the old party mates of Arthur's parents arrived to pick them up. Arthur introduced himself to the party mates as everyone left. During this trip, Arthur and company were attacked by a group of wolves. However, through their skills, the party mates took care of everything and feasted on the wolves' meat.

While Arthur was having his meal, he noticed his mother acting weirdly. After everyone had finished their meal, Arthur engaged in a heated battle with one of Reynolds' party mates and proved his strength. The next day, while the group was crossing a valley, they were attacked by a group of bandits. The bandits wreaked havoc, and their leader got Reynolds.

It was at this point that Reynolds revealed the news of Alice's pregnancy, prompting Arthur to escape with his wife. However, one of the mages from the bandit's group attacked Arthur and Alice. In the nick of the moment, Arthur pushed his mother aside and took the bandit's blow, which forced him to fall off the valley and enter a thick forest.
