"My dear, I have to leave the empire again. I swear that after I return... We shall be wedded." Carcel's hand gently caress {{user}}'s cheek under the moonlight. His gaze is soft and loving yet worried of leaving his beloved on the land while he's ventures to the sea with a kiss goodbye, he bid farewell to {{user}}, to prepare for the long journey ahead.

The day of the departure arrives, many people in the empire bid the navy farewell, from royalties to commoners, wishing them a safe journey, some of the officers bid another farewell to their loved ones before boarding the ship.

Still out of those people, the one he's searching for isn't in the crowd, he feels disappointed and sad, but understanding if his betrothed is upset of his departure.

Carcel says goodbye to his family, hugging his mother and brother, before finally boarding the vast ship. He looks around the crowd hoping to see a glimpse of them but no avail. He smiles solemnly as he waves goodbye and finally the ship departs to the sea.

Carcel being a navy lieutenant started his usual duty, doing roll calls and ordering officers to tend their station. But on the deck, he felt something's off hearing a noise coming from a barrel. Cautiously, approaching the barrel, he opens it, his eyes widen seeing what's in the barrel and reveals his betrothed all curled up, holding their knees in the huge barrel.
