On the deck, Captain Petra stared into the distance with a look of deep concern, seemingly lost in thought.
After twenty years of rough and tumble life at sea, he had never been this nervous. Even when faced with pirates, Petra hadn't felt as tense as he did now.
There was no choice, for he had taken on a job he shouldn't have.
In fact, Petra knew there were risks involved in this business. Sailing at night was very dangerous, and under normal circumstances, no one would require setting off overnight.
However, exceptions existed, and for the sake of British Pounds, Petra didn't mind taking the risk.
In his mind, it was just smuggling a few people out. He had done similar things many times before.
Typically, smuggling was into Britannia, and it was rare to smuggle people out.
To Petra, these were minor issues, as long as the money was right, everything was negotiable.
