In the small restaurant on the warship, the officers had gathered together, soothing their roller-coaster emotions from the past day with wine and meat.

Sipping on the Chardonnay wine Milan had brought on board, enjoying various delicacies made from the "Shadow Lizard" meat that even a king might not have seen.

"To our greatest captain!"
"That's right! Lord Aiven is indeed the greatest captain!"
"Cheers!"
