As night fell.
Ronald led Il and Costate onto the deck.
It was already late at night, and besides the security lighting, there were no other light sources on the deck. Compared to the neighboring city's dock, the atmosphere here seemed even darker.
But in such an environment.
More than twenty people were already standing on the deck.
Among them, Ronald recognized some familiar faces, such as Nicole from the investigation bureau, the ancient Wizard Coya, and Martha from the church, along with some Casters he didn't know well.
These people stood quietly on the deck, only occasionally whispering to each other at a low frequency. It was only when Ronald arrived that a few people greeted him, but they quickly returned to silence.
"...…"
"Sir, Princess Claudia has arrived."
A few minutes passed, and it was about five minutes to the scheduled time, Costate quietly reminded Ronald from behind.
