Days on the Ship

"Your Highness, there is a letter from the Elf Kingdom," the soldier reported when Kant walked into the Senate Hall early in the morning.

"It arrived this morning?" Kant asked indifferently as he walked to his desk and sat down.

The letter, which was embossed with Elf Kingdom's national emblem, was right on top of the pile of documents.

"Yes," the soldier replied.

"It takes approximately half a month to travel from here to the Elf Kingdom. Devitt and the others should have been on the sea for at least half a month now," Kant murmured in a low voice after reading the letter.

"This ship doesn't dock!" A soldier rushed to the railing on the deck and retched into the sea.

"Those ships that can dock won't be required to go out for missions." Another soldier walked up beside him at the railing, grimacing as he endured the painful churning of his stomach.
