Kisha took one last sweeping glance over the square, her eyes instinctively searching for the one figure who exuded an aura of authority and strength, standing tall and commanding like a king. When she finally spotted him, their gazes met—her deep, inquisitive eyes locking with his intense ocean-blue stare. For a moment, they stared at each other, a silent exchange passing between them without the need for words. After a few minutes, Kisha turned away with a broad smile, while Duke resumed his rounds, meticulously observing the recruits to ensure they were either meeting or exceeding the demands of the training.
No one noticed their silent exchange, as everyone was engrossed in their own tasks. Kisha and Aston proceeded to the temporary office of the "Minister of Women's Care," located within the "House and Allocation Management Office," commonly known as HAMO.
