In Swan Bay, Carlotta and Amelia stayed for several more days.
Although Carlotta had long received intelligence confirming that the General Soul Reaper had continued southward toward the Mist Sea, and was most likely already deep within it, making the sea route from Swan Port to the Bass archipelago safe again—
Others didn't know that.
Gathering information and confirming the situation took time. Until safety was 100% guaranteed, not a single ship from Swan Port dared enter the Swan Sea.
Since no ships had resumed sailing yet, Carlotta decided to stay longer in Swan Port with Amelia.
Although she had Moonlight and could set sail on her own, there was no need. She felt it better to travel to the Bass archipelago by passenger ship, leaving behind a legitimate trail that could withstand scrutiny.
Over the past few days, several pieces of intelligence have surfaced. Only one, however, caught Carlotta's attention, a report that had just arrived this morning.
