Another experience that I will never forget in my life.
The Captain of the Poisonous maids' crew was beaten down until she spewed out her breakfast and submitted.
"Take away her knife so that we can take her back to the Prince. The less ti we waste, the better".
Prince Wyatt. This is all his fault.
Everything. Everything is his fault.
Prince Wyatt!!!
…....…...
"Captain of the Poisonous maids' crew, you really went ahead to steal my ship" I said as I looked at the beaten and battered woman kneeling in front of .
"Ptu…."
Maybe it's because I have experienced such a thing before and was actively prepared for it. But my hands moved on their own.
"Smackk!!"
I swept the back of my left hand right through her cheeks, sending the fluid that was aid at towards the other side.
Suddenly a wave of familiar rembrance hit .
De Ja-Vu!!
I smiled. This scenes!!!
"It's rather daring of you to attempt such a thing again" I said to her, watching as her expression turned into disbelief with a dazed look in her eyes.
But the sa as before, her expression soon turned into a visage of imnse hate, a venomous stare, and a crazed look that one would only find in a rabid dog.
".…Daring!! who do you think you are? I have no reason to be afraid of you, so why should I?" Clara replied.
Her words were clear and simple. But the tone she uttered them with was enough for one to feel the amount of venom each sentence contained.
Heh!! Why do I feel as though this woman has been hating on my ghost even though I wasn't around all this while?
But still, I was curious.
Even though I could guess that she and the forr Prince Wyatt had so kind of relationship together, I was curious about what had happened to plant such a seed of imnse hate against .
I am sure that the ambush had a hand in that, but co on, there had to be sothing, right?
The boundless hate in her eyes grew as she waited for my answer.
"I am Prince W.."
"Spare the title. You were a Prince. You were a crown Prince. You were rich. You had servants. You had slaves. You had an empire…. But not anymore" Clara responded, her words mixed with the smug on her face made it clear that she was enjoying this and had already anticipated my response even before I spoke.
Nonetheless, she was right.
The forr Prince Wyatt who is currently was banished and had lost everything he had for reasons which I am yet to unearth.
The only thing left in his na was the slightly damaged ship under my feet and the clothes on my back.
However, was I ready to think about such trivial things?
No, I wasn't!!
Since the very mont I had arrived in this world, the very first thing soone had addressed as was 'Prince Wyatt'. I didn't ask for just the title, but the more people kept on addressing as such, the more I began to accept it, and just went with the flow.
But that didn't an I hated it because whether I was banished or not, being a forr Prince of an Empire hailed to be one of the greatest in humanity's history did co with its perks, albeit on a smaller scale.
Hell, even the knight still addressed as such even though she had a to-do list of how to secretly murder and would have already been successful the second ti if not for the 'Fantastic Beast Of Records'.
Even Captain Crimson eye, soone that neither I nor the forr Prince Wyatt has never t still gave so leeway because of my title and also, mostly because of the amount of strength that I had shown through Toothless.
Looking at her smug face as I opened my mouth to speak, I said "I am a Captain who st….".
"You are a captain with a ship full of sea slaves" Clara responded, interrupting my words once more.
"None of your crewn followed you because they wished to. I am a Pirate, sure I may have lost my ship and part of my Crew mbers, but don't even dare call yourself a Captain when you don't even have a first mate. You are not a Pirate. You are a lost boy thrown into the sea, abandoned, and left to fend off for himself. I bet that if Knight Camille wasn't even with you, you wouldn't even have survived this long".
".….."
"What? Have you lost your ability to talk? Weren't you talking and grinning with that shitting face of yours previously, or have I finally touched your weak spot and shown you how frail and useless you currently are? Co on, say sothing…" She said once more, her words getting louder with each sentence as she locked her gaze with mine.
"Sigh!!!" An audible long and tiring exasperated sigh escaped my lips.
"You know, sotis you surprise . The last ti we spoke, you spoke like a woman clouded by her hate for the man in front of her. Funny enough, although your hate is still there and might have grown even more potent, your words were thought out and packed with aning" I said bringing my face towards her as our gaze was still locked together.
"But do you know the difference between then and now?"
Her face remained the sa, but her eyes and the subtle twitching of the muscles on her face were clear to that she was trying to think of an answer, but still ca up with none.
"Ahem!! If you haven't noticed, there is no difference. You are still on your knees as you talk with . Your crewn are still one step away from having their bodies disposed of in the sea. You say that I am just a banished Prince, right?..... Sure, I agree, you are right. I am a banished Prince and I have nothing in my na except this ship. But I believe that as long as I am aware I have never refuted such a statent"
"If you believe that I shouldn't be called a Prince anymore, then that's your problem because as far as I am concerned, only a fool would renounce one of his greatest aides because he allowed his heart to be weighed down by the opinion of another"
Of course, especially if I was still a newcor in this world and still haven't figured out a way of surviving or gaining a footing, then renouncing my title as a Prince whether I was banished or not would be foolish.
Though I wasn't lying when I said that her each of words held aning, but they would have ant sothing to the forr Prince Wyatt and not the current .
Her words were powerful and would have helped her if it was the forr Prince Wyatt, however she was unlucky to have been matched with the current Prince Wyatt.
The current Prince Wyatt was soone who would do anything that falls in place with his morality to survive in this new world. Especially since he was given two new lives after his previous tornts on earth.
"Is that all you have to say? As expected, yo…."
"I am not yet done" I said as I grabbed her hand, and pulled her towards the edge of the ship.
Even though her words may have not affected , there was still an urge in , that wanted to put her in her place and give her the perfect answer to each of her questions.
Words weren't punches to the face, but they were still sharp enough to damage a man's heart.
I am a man!
Her words stirred up an uncomfortable reaction in that I wouldn't feel relaxed until I had addressed it.
Though there wasn't any need for to do so as I could have just overlooked her expression with her every sentence. But sohow, I felt that it wouldn't be satisfying.
The urge to undermine her was growing more and more.
Hah!! It seems that I might have been wrong. She had succeeded in drawing out a grudge from .
A grudge that I wouldn't let go of until I wiped off her smugness completely.
"What are you doing?" Clara said as she held the edge of the ship with both of her hands tightly holding unto it while I held her tightly as we looked at the sea below us.
"Given you an answer to your second question" I said, channelling my thoughts to Toothless as I directed her to my location.
"Leave alone!! What the hell are you planning to do? Do you think you can scare by threatening to throw off board?" Clara said as she tried to wriggle, and push herself away from , but all of her actions were in vain.
