After that, she'll tell you that Merrick has gone missing and will hand you a note suggesting that there may be a clue to his location at Stephen's Spoils. So head on over there.
When you arrive at Stephen's Spoils, you'll find another note titled "A Letter For Merrick" on the dock next to a cauldron. Pick it up, read it, and it'll tell you to seek land located between Shipwreck Bay and Hidden Spring Keep. This spot is not listed on the map, but it'll be found at the K9 coordinates on the map as shown in the picture below:
Sail to this unlisted island and you'll find Belle waiting for you. Talk to her, select the "complete chapter" dialogue option, and she'll tell that she too is searching for Merrick.
