After we set sail, I was allowed to take a step out of the captain's cabin, although Cecil was still following me everywhere.
Behind this large ship were 10 smaller ships with the same blue flag raised on top of their crow's nest with a beer symbol in the middle. They belonged to the sailor I met at Mermaid's Rest that night, and apparently, they were merchants, according to Cecil's explanation.
"They need protection until we reach Tiga Port City, and we will reach that place tomorrow after we stop at some point to rest and recover," Cecil added as we stood on the quarterdeck, looking at the ten ships following us from behind.
Stopping at some point, that must be where they planned to do something to the merchant. And the fact Cecil offered to sleep with me tonight and got the captain's cabin by herself, she probably didn't want me to see what would happen to those merchant sailors.
'So they will reach that stop at night.'
