"Is there a matter?" Charles looked at the man before him, supposedly from the border defense forces, Norden Wright.
The sailor before him appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, his muscles bulging under the uniform stretching it tightly.
"I possess three years of maritime combat experience! I am physically robust and now wish to join the Governor's Exploration Ship!"
Norden's voice rang out loudly, drawing the attention of all the shipyard workers.
The sudden emergence of this situation certainly took Charles by surprise.
Before he could speak, James, with a darkened face, was the first to open his mouth. "Soldier! What is your assigned duty today? Deserting your post is dereliction of duty."
"Reporting to the director! Today is my day off, and I have not neglected my duties! And even if I had, I am not one of your policemen, and you have no right to intervene. Governor! Please let me join the Exploration Ship!"
