In the twilight glow, Leon saw the captain, Moses, wandering aimlessly in the crowd with a letter in hand, indeed back to his senses, unchanged from before.
"I have fulfilled the contract, Leon."
Levin whispered softly, "Now it's your turn."
"Yes, please take good care of Shirley for me."
Leon sighed in relief, his hanging heart settled, lowering his hat brim, he ascended the deck under Levin and Captain Yuri's watchful eyes, ready to head to the Kingdom of Frederick, where he would change to a carriage to enter the Romanov Kingdom.
"It's not too late to regret now." Captain Yuri shook hands with Leon as he boarded the ship, saying in a flat tone, "The land you're heading to is completely unfamiliar, with no chance of returning in the short term. If you change your mind, please tell me before we sail."
"Mr. Felix painted a very beautiful vision for me."
