| In four years’ time the competition that will decide who the next Queen shall be will start. The strongest warrior will continue to rule the country according to tradition and expand it.

The winner is decided when one of the participants flees or can’t move anymore. The event is broadcast by the court’s magic teacher through a crystal sphere to the whole population to see and enjoy. |
| In the city of Gainos, Reina the vagrant warrior enters the competition of Queen’s Blade to decide the new queen of the continent, but there are a number of obstacles in her way, each with their own reason for fighting. |
| After the end of the Queen’s Blade competition in Gyokuza o Tsugumono, the separate stories of many warriors are further developed to bring closure and, in some cases, intertwined again. |
| The first episode features Annelotte, the scion of the Kreusz noble house, who was raised as a man and served as one of the house’s knights. When her house is destroyed by the Queen’s army, she winds up in the forest protected by Alleyne, who tends her wounds and trains her to fight well enough to confront the Queen. The second episode features Shigi, a devout servant of God whose will to harshly deal with heretics exceeds her skill. Her encounter with Ymir as the two travel to Gainos helps her come into her own as a future Inquisitor. |
| Annelotte, a wandering knight, quickly become involved in an insurrection against the increasingly corrupt nobility and fanatical Church, as she and her growing band of fellow warriors fight to bring about justice and set right what has gone wrong. |
