Chapter 53: High sea

"Is there something that I can help you with, Miss Cora?"
"If I may be so audacious, might I presume you’re going towards the river, and you’ll be needing to cross it?"

"That would be correct. Is something wrong?"
"From that I can infer, forgive me if I’m mistaken, that you have also been sent directly to this accursed place without knowing the situation around this."

With a dead expression, he voiced,
"Whatever do you mean ’also’, miss Cora."
"Wahaha~ I’ll take that as your affirmation then village boy. It seems that even fate wants us to confide in each other."
"Can you please stop with the riddles already?"
