[Day 13, early morning]
Salutations, Yuuri-Heika.
Today we arrive in Dai Shimaron to begin the negotiations for the safe return of your beloved daughter, and the cessation of hostilities between Dai Shimaron and our glorious nation. The other Great Sage has, in his fantastic wisdom and gentleness, prepared the box for delivery to our enemy. Such a nice young man, pity about the boyfriend. With favourable winds at our backs, we go to carry out Your Majesty's will with all good speed, and pray that we may soon be blessed to look upon your perfect visage once more.
Lo Your humble ser Your loving ser Slave of your heart Love With love Love
See you soon.
Gunter von Christ
Dai Shimaron is in sight. The crew are preparing to dock. They say it will take several hours to prepare for our journey, but that we should still reach Belal-Heika's palace shortly before nightfall.
...one of my pigeons is missing.

The bane of my life other Gwendal has admitted responsibility for the absent bird. He also felt the need to go for a stroll alone in human territory. The buffoon! In spite of my repeatedly pointing out that there was plenty of room on my mount, Geika insisted on riding with him! Belal's palace is in sight, and Geika is still in that lout's arms - as if he didn't spend enough time there!
