After Sophia Garanord left, Charles was unable to calm his mind for a long time.
He went alone to the Mecklen estate for a while, then at noon, went to meet Anne for lunch.
Anne was at the Central Government Office, specifically in a crucial department like law enforcement, and she had heard quite a few internal pieces of news. During lunch, Anne said, "Because of the great naval battle in the Sea of Giant Whales, our losses were massive. I heard they're going to transfer a batch of the army to replenish the navy."
Charles asked in surprise, "Has it really come to the point where we need to transfer the army?"
Anne stuffed a small bit of bread in her mouth and said, "The Empire is planning a bigger naval battle, intending to completely block Byron's navy in the port and prevent them from escorting the maritime trade routes."
