Synopsis

The Allied Forces experience an unexpectedly easy first battle, boosting morale and placing Crown Prince Sullivan and Saintess Candidate Alice in the spotlight, while Princess Elena's warnings about needing Prince Davey's help are ignored. Alice, in turn, consolidates power, marginalizing those who disagreed with her, only for the tide to turn drastically as the allied forces lose three forts in a single morning. Desperate, they finally beg Davey for help, leading him to reveal his grievances and agree to assist, on his own terms.
