Book 13: Chapter 10
The ocean here in this world was the same as the sea in the world I came from. I dont know if they were the same in every world. The ocean was forever blue. We stood out on the ship on the water and looked around. The end of the ocean and the sky seemed to meet as one entity. If it wasnt for the white cloudszing around, the ocean and sky mustve been connected.
It wasnt peaceful on the ocean. Perhaps our ships tore through the ocean, which was why we had waves. I stood at the bow and looked at the water. The ocean breeze blew against me. My breaths felt moist. I randomly felt overpowered as if the ocean belonged to me. Once one expands their vision, theyll feel as though things are expansive and grand. I guess that was how you feel on ships. Seeing the vast sea did, indeed, make me feel stronger.
The modifications to the ship were apparent. There was a big, t tform at the front of the ship. The rails were simple wooden rails. It was a little risky, but I didnt think anybody would fall overboard; we werent that stupid. The bridge had been modified to be our living quarters. The servants and maids resided there. The dining hall, activity room and bedrooms were practically the same as the way they were in my Imperial Pce. Only a few rooms belonged to the crew. They lived in the cabin below. The ship was quiterge. It looked decent from outside; however, standing at the bow, I thought it was the size of Ling Yues body.
Id assume itd pack a lethal amount of firepower if it was a warship. That was not to mention it was mana-powered, so it was a lot faster than current warships, and they could replenish energy at night. Therefore, you could live at sea forever on the ship as long as you had food and water.
If it was an elven warship, it would be a monster, because Vyvyans time magic could preserve the food and water as well as let it float on top of the water surface without needing to be replenished. That meant it wouldnt need to resupply at ports and could travel as it pleased. Fortunately, such a formidable weapon was in my hands.
We didnt have many ships guarding us. They were all mid-sized sailing ships. The mid-sized agile ships could perfectly subdue pirates. Pirates of this world didnt have these mid-sized ships; they didnt have ports that they can stop at whenever they liked to resupply, after all. I really wanted to find out where the pirates came from on this journey, as well. There might be some strange small ind at sea that the pirates originated from. If it existed and I cleaned it up, I mightve had myself a private ind to spend vacations at.
I didnt see any small inds, sadly. That said, we had only left for a few hours, so it was only normal I hadnt spotted any. I turned around to look at Lucia sitting on the edge looking at the sea as well as Nier, who was lying underneath an umbre. Niers lips were somewhat pale. Nier, who wasmonly wearing a cold and fearless look, met her most terrifying enemy aboard the ship. Aforementioned enemy was sea sickness. Nier was defeated after staying on the ship. She went from a cold Princess into a weak Princess shivering in the corner. Thus, she had no choice but toy down behind us.
I felt sorry for Nier. She was on her own ship to have fun, and it was a rare opportunity to be out on the ocean water, yet she was incapacitated and had to lie down for the entire trip due to sea sickness. Lucia, who sat to one side, relished Niers misery. She hadpletely adapted to the sea, so she didnt have any struggles. However, little Lucia was really sly. Shepletely ignored Nier, who was sea sick. She even forcefully dragged Nier to the deck. Suffice to say, the elf, Lucia, was full of hatred for the woman who stole her man.
Lucia was very interested in the sea below. Every time there was a trace of a fish, shed exim in surprise the same way a child did. Who wouldve thought such a cute girl with a small body was the mother of two kids?
Lucia.
When she saw me sit down next to her, Lucia wrapped her arm around mine and pointed down to the sea while excitedly shouting: Mm? Whats wrong, Your Highness? Did you see that? Theres fish. Theres fish. Your Highness. Your Highness, I just saw a fish leap up.
Elves didnte into contact with the ocean. Hence, Lucia never had the chance to y out on the ocean. It was a new scene for Lucia, making her as happy as a child. I mightve cheerfully yed around with Lucia if Nier wasnt watching us with a miserable gaze.
Nier was stuck lying down behind me. She watched us with a very miserable and irate gaze. When I turned around, I also detected her pleading me with her gaze. I couldnt help it, though. I didnt have sea sickness medication in this world for her All we could do was wait for her to naturally recover after some rest However, I remembered there was something that could bring a dispirited Nier back to life, the challenge being that I needed Lucia to take it out
Lucia shouldve had the fruit Luna once provided us with. The fruit could help one sober up from the influence of alcohol. Surely it could also relieve nauseous symptoms induced by sea sickness. Nier might have looked expressionless when shest ate it, but the sourness caused her entire body to shiver.
Lucia, did you bring that fruit with you?
The fruit was a specialty produce of the elves. We didnt bring it along, but Lucia who couldnt hold her liquor well apparently brought some in her bag due to her concern of getting drunk.
What fruit?
The really sour type.
Oh?
Lucia narrowed her eyes then nced at Nier, who was behind her. She then revealed a mischievous grin. Lucia used to wear an innocent and friendly smile as though she wouldnt hurt anybody, but it was cruel and mischievous this time. Friendly animals be very violent when ites to fighting for their mate. For instance, Lucia revelled in weakened Niers misery.
Well, if you kiss me in front of Nier, I shallply.
You sure?
I looked at Nier, who had her teeth clenched, and then looked back at Lucia, who was so proud of herself that shed be wagging her tail if she had one. Lucia hugged me then ran up to Nier. She wrapped my arm in hers. She looked at me with a boastful gaze: Im sure!
I peeped at Niers gaze. It was very clear her eyes were saying, Your Majesty, agree to her request, and then leave the rest to me.
I nodded, and then kissed Lucias lips in front of Nier.
Ten minutester
Get over here, you bitch!! How dare you use me to threaten His Majesty! Get over here! I swear Ill cut your ears off today!!
What do you want?! Im warning you! I will fight back! Listen, you might not be able to beat me right now, you sea-sick idiot Your Highness, her condition is called sea sickness, right? Mm, thats right. Weak women get sea sick. How are you worthy of being His Highness lover when youre so delicate? Im warning you! Im warning you! Ill rip your arm off!
I wasnt sure if Niers fighting abilities were diminished as a result of her sea sickness, or if it was Lucias satisfaction with herself that augmented her abilities. Either way, the two of them randomly began an endless fight and only stopped once they were both exhausted
