Ves never expected that just as the expeditionary fleet arrived at its first resting point, the Swordmaidens already wanted to leave.
He immediately grew worried.
Splitting up his clan was the last thing he wanted to see! What if the Swordmaidens encountered trouble? It was impossible for the main fleet to come to the aid of his protégé and the women he appreciated the most.
With at least hundreds of light-years separating him from the former pirates, he wouldn't be able to do anything but fret in his seat if they fell into some sort of ambush!
Ketis already anticipated what Ves was worried about.
