"Didn't you see that first class suite with the seashell sofa within it?

nBro..... it was amazing!

"

n

"I know right!!

nAnd don't forget.... his majesty said that each room would have a personal butler assigned to it.

nThe whole thing screams out luxury.

"

n

"Wait..... but what did you think of the staff quarters?

"

n

"To be honest, I was expecting the rooms there to look like a broom closet or something... since they basically came here to work, and not for vacation.

nBut surprisingly, his majesty had still requested for the staff rooms to be done as if it were a standard hotel room instead.

"

n

"Have you forgotten?

nHis majesty said that if someone lived in a depressing place, it could affect their work... and eventually themselves.

nThat's why he made the place as comfortable as possible for them.

"

n

"_

"

n.

nEveryone chatted merrily, as they stepped out from the Enchantress... in their minds, they would definitely use their vacations to have this cruise experience.

nEven if they had seen luxury before within the hotels in Baymard... seeing all this within the ships were still breathtaking nonetheless.

nIt was the same feeling people get when they visit places like Singapore or Dubai.

n.

nBack on earth, everyone had basically seen most of the features placed in those areas.

nBut why did they still look at those regions in awe?

nBeauty, architecture, decor, scenic spots and so on..... played a major role in attracting everyone's attention.

nSo no matter who it was, they would still be blown away to some degree.

n.

nAnd even though some of the them had aided in building the ships, it was still a wonderful experience to actually step on board for a tour and seeing the complete look.

nBecause once construction was done, some of them hadn't even seen some parts of the ships yet.... as most parts were closed off once done.

nSo of course they were excited.

n.

nLandon on the other hand, was currently heading towards a newly built Cruise Management Company with Pulther..... who was the newly appointed Minister of Transportation.

n.

nThis company was meant for the workers and staff only.

nHere, the accountants, secretaries, cleaners, ship engineers, cooks and so on, would have their locker rooms, and even have project discussions here..... especially the engineers.

nIf some new protocol had been issued out, they would be made known about it within the company.

n.

nOn arriving at the company site, they quickly proceeded towards one of the conference rooms there.

nToday, they would have a grand meeting with all the 'heads' within the company.

nBe it the Head of operations, Head of Accounting, or Head Quality Management personnel... everyone was present for today's meeting.

n.

n

"Chief Sezar... you had just returned from Carona last night.

nSo... How far has Carona gone with completing what we asked for?

" Landon asked the red haired man seated on the right side of the conference table, 3 seats away.

n

"Your majesty... it's done!

nThe Estate has just 2 massive 3-storey buildings within it, as well as 1 small one for the security men.

" The man replied while subconsciously stroking his thick reddish beard.

n.

nLandon had asked for a simple building to be made, so as to save more time.

nWithout cement, Carona had to construct buildings made entirely out if stone..... and this in itself was too cost effective and time consuming.

nHence, he had just wanted not more than 4 buildings within the estate.

n.

nWith their office in Carona completed, their next agenda was Training.

n

"Chief Winifred... How's training going?

"

n

"Your majesty, the Captains and engineers have been training using the Fishing ships, tug ships, and some of the cargo ships that were completed 2 months ago.

n

n

nAnd we had also got them to train in simulated rooms that had all the controls within it as well.

nYour majesty, so far..... only 48% of the Captains and navigation officers are ready.

nAs for the rest, they need a little more time before they would be able to confidently give out orders or solve problems on their own.

" Said a 29 year old woman.

n

"Hm..... not bad.

nThis is still good enough for the time being..... since each cruise will have a team of at least 60 of them on board at once.

nThose who are strong will help those who are weak... while piloting the ships.

nAlso, for the next 1 year..... each trip would have 5 supervisors in it at all times, who will overlook everyone as well.

nIn this way, everyone would be able to learn and gain experience in the job.

nBut of course, just before we officially launch.... we'll have them take 5 examinations using the cruisers for the next 3 weeks.

"

n.

nEveryone nodded, as they listened on.

n

"Captain Darius!

nHave you selected enough Marine soldiers for the job?

"

n

"Yes your majesty!

"

n

"Good... just like the rest, they too would have to take separate examinations as well.

"

n

"_

"

n.

nUp next, they quickly tackled scheduling.

nBoarding in Carona would take place on Mondays at 10 A.M and 3 P.M... as well as Thursdays

u0026 Saturdays at 9 A.M, 2 P.M and 6 P.M.

nWhile Boarding in Baymard would take place on Tuesdays at 10 A.M and 3 P.M..... and Fridays

u0026 Sundays at 9 A.M, 2 P.M and 6 P.M too.

nFor now, these were the only time intervals for boarding on each day.

nBut of course when more ships were created in the future, more time intervals would also be added to the schedule as well.

n.

nThere were 9 ships available, and a total of 16 trips to make weekly..... with each trip taking at most 2 and a half days to complete.

nSo after drawing up a proper working schedule, which accounted for the workers rest, weather delays and so on... Landon and his team were now ready to officially launch the Bay-Caronian Cruisers.

n.

n--Somewhere on the Open Waters--

n.

n'Shwahhh! Shwahh!'

nThe waves gently rippled against each other..... as they mildly rushed in from directions.

nOn a massive fleet, one could see a young girl currently training hard with her sword in her hands.

n'Swish! Swish! Swish!'

nShe had placed her hair in a ponytail, as she continuesly sliced through the air multiple times.

n.

n

"Your majesty..... it's time for your lunch!

nIf you don't go now, the good would get cold

" Said one of her knights.

n

"I'll be right there Horris.

"

n

"_

"

n.

nSoon, the young lady swiftly placed her sword in its sheath...and looked at the calm waters below.

nIt wouldn't be long before she would reach her destination.

nShe was of course curious about this land of 'milk and honey' that she had been hearing about.

nSoon, she would see what this Baymard was truly like.

n.

nBut unbeknownst to her and the merry Baymardians..... several forces had already silently gathered around Baymard, as they too wanted to get their hands on this promise land.
