Back at Kaldiz’s Residence, he told Diphiya and the others that Irene had taken Anna hostage and threatened to dissolve the United Front Alliance, leaving them anxious about his decision.

• Anna urged Sordil to marry both Irene and Grandiere, but he covered her mouth and left to think before giving an answer.

Sordil and Anna traveled toward the Western Border Army to reveal their identities and secure control of the alliance, while news of Sordil’s victory over two dragons caused Belmod to collapse.

• Glaide swore revenge on Goodpes and flew toward Koreita to survey Ishgar and possibly eliminate Selisliu.
