The following morning, the royal troops stood ready to depart. Multiple carriages and horses were arranged, as two separate groups were leaving simultaneously. One group belonged to the Prince, while the other was under the command of the Commander of the knights.
The Prince's carriage exuded regal elegance, adorned with the Thistle Palace crest. The carriage prepared for Oriana and her grandfather was not ordinary either, bearing the emblem of the Oak Palace, symbolizing the King's authority.
Had it not been for the Prince's stubbornness, his betrothed would have proudly displayed the Thistle Palace crest on her carriage.
The Duke and Duchess of Wimark arrived at the guest mansion where Oriana was lodged. The Prince's troop had already reached the location, allowing them to proceed with Commander Loyset's unit.
Stepping out of his carriage, Arlan approached the Duke and Duchess of Wimark.
