The former is a prince and the latter the daughter of a duke. These scenes are set a decade or so in, while the spider's scenes begin, one assumes, begin as soon as everyone is reborn (since she starts by breaking out of an egg). Anyway, there's a time gap.
At this time, the Demon Lord's army is preparing to attack. Shun's brother Julius is the hero, so he should be instrumental in the war.
This volume covers through the end of Chapter 14-4 of the manga.
