I sat on the ship wondering if the emperor noticed my absence. How was he doing? Why has he not sent men to look for me? Has he moved on already?
Many questions ran through my mind as the ship sailed without interruption. It only means I was safe. I relaxed in my seat and enjoyed the journey. It was going to take seven days to get to Novia. The seaman told me that food and drinks will be served to me. And if I was having a problem, I should let him know.
I did not want anyone to notice me so I mind my business. The sea was calm. It did not wrestle with us as we started our journey. I felt nauseated at first. It must have been the fact that I have never travelled by sea before.
The first I came to Akkad, the Emperor sent carriages and a few guards to accompany me. The journey from Camelot to here was three days.
