The ship’s hull was marked with the traces of cannon bombardment, some even pierced through directly.

A fatal breach at the stern allowed seawater to continuously flood into the ship, causing it to tilt backward. Despite the salvage efforts by the crew, they couldn’t prevent the water from seeping in.

The ship’s sinking was just a matter of time.

“Captain, how is the current condition of the Radiant Envoy? Can she hold on?”

The captain gazed at the young girl in front of him, who possessed the characteristic gleaming golden hair of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy’s ruling family. He spoke with a respectful and courteous demeanor.

“My Lady, the condition of the Radiant Envoy is not optimistic. The hull is severely damaged, and we have lost over 80% of our propulsion power. The damage at the stern, in particular, has caused significant flooding.”

“Based on my years of sailing experience, this level of damage is beyond repair.”

“How could this happen?” the girl expressed her concern, “We need to return to the Grand Duchy immediately and deliver the information we obtained.

Otherwise, if the conspiracy succeeds, the Grand Duchy will be in an extremely passive situation.”

“Indeed.” The captain nodded in agreement. “Because of this, if we want to deliver the message back, we must abandon the ship now. Therefore, I suggest My Lady board the rescue boat immediately. Otherwise, once the Radiant Envoy enters the sinking stage, the whirlpools it produces could pose a danger to you.”

“But there are still so many brave sailors and guards trying to save the Radiant Envoy. We can’t just abandon them, and what about the wounded who got injured in the battle? Should we ignore them too?”

“As the envoy representing the Grand Duchy, My Lady, your safety is of utmost importance. You cannot afford to be harmed, and thus, 1 suggest you board the rescue boat immediately.”

“As the envoy representing the Grand Duchy on this mission, how could 1 abandon you all and be the first to board the rescue boat and flee?”

“This is not about running away, My Lady. Your noble status and your role as the most suitable messenger for this important message make it imperative that you remain unharmed, and that’s why…”

“I understand your thoughts, but as a member of the Grand Duchy of Reinhardt, I cannot simply abandon my subjects and flee alone. This principle is the ancestral motto of the Valencia Family and also my steadfast belief.”

Seeing the resolute and determined expression in the girl’s eyes, the captain sighed inwardly, realizing that he couldn’t persuade her.

Nevertheless, it was also because of her determination that the entire crew and guards on board the Radiant Envoy wholeheartedly followed her.

Every person on the ship was willing to sacrifice their lives for her.

“Since that’s the case, let’s quickly lower the small boats and have the sailors, guards, and My Lady’s maids board them. Time is of the essence.”

For this mission, the Grand Duchy specially selected a group of highly loyal and well-trained sailors and guards to accompany them.

So when the order to abandon the ship came, everyone acted swiftly, lowering the small boats from the deck and boarding them in an orderly manner.

The young girl, the captain, and the head guard were among the last to board the small boat.

An hour later, several small boats floated on the sea, looking at the gradually sinking Radiant Envoy in the distance.

“All…” Upon seeing this scene, a hint of worry appeared on the captain’s resolute face.

“Captain, we have successfully boarded the boats, and the pursuers probably believe we have already sunk in the storm. So, what are you worrying about?” “Is it because of the sinking of the Radiant Envoy? Well, that is indeed a worrying and saddening matter, considering she has been with you for so many years.”

“It’s not because of the sinking of the Radiant Envoy that I worry,” the captain shook his head, surveying the surrounding sea, “I am concerned about this sea area. The Stormy Sea has always been known for its mysterious rumors, and I fear that something beyond our control might happen here…”

“Look over there, a ship!”

Before the words were fully spoken, the sailors suddenly exclaimed.

The captain and the young girl turned their gaze to the distance, where two fully armed warships were approaching them on the sea.

The captain fell silent.

“Well, it’s not such a bad thing, is it? At least someone is coming to rescue us, right?” The young girl was surprisingly optimistic, smiling brightly.

The captain sighed again.

In such a peculiar and dangerous sea area, he couldn’t imagine who would come to their rescue. However, looking at the sail patterns of those two ships, they should not be pursuers..
