The next day, Sullivan set off for the barracks accompanied by Daedric. The presence of the Crown Prince energized the soldiers, their spirits lifting as they realized the significance of their mission and the stakes of the upcoming battle for the Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Dahlia cleverly infiltrated the barracks, eager to observe the training methods of the two princes.
She needed to be prepared in case a confrontation arose between them, ready to intervene if necessary. To avoid drawing attention—especially from Sullivan—she had donned a man's attire, fully aware of the potential for his reprimand.

With a quick adjustment, she pushed the visor up as she focused her gaze on Sullivan. He stood confidently, gripping a gun with his left hand while listening to the Crown Prince.
