In the innermost part of the royal palace of the Kingdom of Haldoria, a woman bowed deeply at the private parts of the royal quarters.

“I shall take my leave for today.”

“All right. Please do visit us soon, all right?”

“Yeah. You’re welcome to come again.”

“Thank you, Your Highness, Lady Sylvia.”

Chris, who frequently visited the palace as the favorite merchant of the prince’s fiancée, Sylvia, left the room with a bow. A maid guided her outside, whom she politely thanked before returning to her lodging. Soon after she entered the room she was renting, she noticed an unfamiliar letter on the desk. She looked around the room cautiously and saw nothing out of place.

After pausing for a moment, Chris picked up the letter. The sender’s name was not on it, but she found a crow feather inside alongside a message. Chris read through it, then immediately threw it into the small brazier in the corner of her room and lit it with fire magic. The paper burned to ashes, erasing all evidence.

“Next is the empire, huh?” she whispered to no one in particular as she started packing up for her journey.

Today, the sea is calm, and our field of vision is clear—all perfect conditions for the maiden voyage of this magic-powered ship, the first of its kind.

We left the port of the Dukedom of Haldoria sixteen days ago and should reach the port of Hammitt County in the Yutear Empire in two days.

I’m writing these lines after having taken my lunch in the captain’s cabin. Our cook makes truly excellent curry, which goes wonderfully with the special pickles he serves. I got seconds twice. The young sailors have got nothing on me!

This voyage also comes with a mission, as the chair has tasked us to deliver an official letter to Count Hammitt. Hammitt County is one of the places where our company sells its flagship perfume. The head of the Hammitt family has been involved with our firm for generations; maintaining good relationships with that family is crucial for the job.

While I was writing, a magic transmission arrived from Hammitt County. I’ll pause my writing to handle it.

End of transmission. I’ve got to treat the transmission operators to a drink when we get to the county. That’s all Tom’s doing. He just had to go and promise that on my behalf, huh?

We’ll anchor the ship in the empire for a week. I need to figure out what souvenir to bring my wife and kid, who are waiting for me in the dukedom. Last time, I brought my daughter a popular doll in the empire. She hated it, so I can’t mess up and disappoint her this time too. I’ll ask John, my navigation officer, for advice and select the perfect gift. Hang on, isn’t John the one who told me to get the doll? I think his girlfriend hated his gift too... I should ask someone else, right?
