Vol. 3
We start this volu back in Marchand, where Sagastar from the Western Navy is interrogating the Southern Navy about the sighting of their disguised Admiral. After hearing that Ed was abducted by so criminals, the Navy goes into a state of disarray and begins a large search party. In the anti, Ed and Cesar are bickering with one another about contacting the fleet to prevent a disaster. In addition, Cesar stole Eds dicine to gain the upper hand in their deal and give off a threat to stay away from Lil, as he is seriously suspecting Ed has feelings for her. Cesar is also trying to convince Lil to quit the pirate life and settle down with him.
Eventually, Lil, unable to refute Cesar, agrees and visits the League hideout to announce her retirent with an aching heart. The lancholy that cos with this loss drives Lil to drink. Ed finds her in her drunken state and they have a more honest conversation on the beach as Lils guard is down, this is when Ed realises the loneliness and sorrow Lil is feeling. Its also the first opportunity for Ed to inspect her necklace more closely.
The Bell Rock sets sail to Serlio the next day. Part of the deal with the League, to ensure they have a safe retirent instead of being chased for the rest of their lives, is for Lil and Cesar to hand over all their gold stored in the bank, and the Bell Rock. To accomplish this they need to find a bank and have enough crew for their journey, with Marchand being monitored by the Western Navy, the Bell Rock heads to Serlio, an island more Northeast.
On their voyage, they encounter a suspicious ship, the Marian. A small battle occurred and the Bell Rock ca on top as the winner, but not without Lil getting injured. After everything settles down, Cesar finds a tank on the ship, but contrary to the previous one, this one wasnt empty. Lil and Cesar discover a female rmaid in the tank. Lil then investigates the captains room and interrogates the captain, Jacques Poussin. From this conversation, they learn that the Garni association is carrying out expeditions in the hope to catch rmaids. Lil wants to imdiately free the rmaid, but Cesar wasnt really in the mood to help her. With his conservative beliefs, he doesnt see a reason to free the rmaid in the first place. So Lil has no other choice but to go to Ed, with his help she manages to communicate with the rmaid and in the end free it. In a way to express its gratitude, the rmaid, nad Bellus, leads them into the sea to show a part of its world.
Back on the ship, Cesars sensitive state results in another fight between him and Lil. Lil felt wronged by his suspicion that sothing is happening between her and Ed. Cesar acknowledges that his behaviour towards her wasnt fair, but does notice a change in her reactions. After reconciling, Cesar pays Ed a visit. Their discussion about Lil gives Ed a bit of a hint about whats going on between them. He concludes that Cesars conservative mindset will eventually be the downfall of their relationship.
This volu ends when Ed pays a visit to Lil. As he gives her so treatnt for her wounds, he notices that the necklace Lil is wearing stopped working. Suddenly Lil wasnt in the shape of a man anymore but in that of a woman. In a panic Ed searched for Lils necklace, only to see that she was still wearing it
So quick and important trivia:
The oil used to attract ssenger pigeons was among the dicines Cesar took from Ed.
The necklace Lils wearing probably belongs to Forma, the goddess of beauty.
The wearer of the necklace doesnt get to see the change. So its unknown if Ed indeed changed or not.
Most of the pirates of the League dont like Lil too much, due to her being of mixed blood and they look down on her because she rules without the whip.
Lil didnt beco a captain through the traditional ans (votation), but because she already had a ship of her own.
Throughout the whole volu, cracks in the relationship between Lil and Cesar beco more visible. Their fights are mostly about their different beliefs.
Before boarding the ship, Cesar informs Courant that he suspects that one of the sailors keeps sneaking into his cabin to search for sothing. After this, Courant treats Ed with utmost hostility.
rmaids have silvery bluish skin and blue hair. Their eyes are black with blue irises and their eyebrows contain 3 thick sensory hairs. They have human-like features but theyre less sharp. Also for them to be able to see in the dark, rmaids have the ability to emit light.
rmaids communicate with sign language and Goe.
rmaids and humans can have children together. The rmaid gene is in this exchange the most dominant one, so the children will be born in the shape of a rmaid with more human-like features.
Bell Rock is the most popular rmaid known to n. Shes of mixed blood.
Ed learned to speak the ancient language and sign language in the Clairaut.
Duke Mireille intends to capture rmaids to boast his status within the empire and strengthen his relationship with the emperor.
Venua Obernyu puts pressure on Mireille to find Liloa.

Translators point of view:
Dynamics explained:
In this volu, we see the progression of Lils view towards Ed. The very first trace of her trust towards him was when he caught a bullet for her, leading her to finally talk to him openly for the first ti in the Panichi beach, during sunset and at the middle of the night. The way Ed helped Lil free the rmaid also made her fully trust him now, as she no longer jerks her body whenever he treats her.
Lil sees Ed as a companion shes t for the first ti in her life. It seems that for the longest ti, she felt like shes the only one who understands herself, but having t and talked to Ed openly made her feel shes not alone anymore. She even felt upset about it, thinking about once she joins Cesar in the duchy, her journey with such a companion like Ed would be short-lived.
Ed is equally worried about the truth hes keeping from Lil. While he does his best to win her trust, there are 2 critical things he hasnt disclosed yet. The fact that hes the Admiral and the fact that the Duke of Mireille requested him to retrieve Liloa (but the latter one had made it clear that he wont comply). Ed impulsively joined Bell Rock with the intent of confirming if the Liloa he t before is still the sa Liloa now, one with vigour and vitality. He has no backup plans if Liloa finds out his secrets.
Contrary to Lils and Eds growing bond, we see the relationship between Lil and Cesar deteriorating. Despite all the action, this really was a volu where we were able to take a look into everybodys heads and see their true thoughts and feelings. The key reason why Lil and Cesar seed to be growing apart from each is due to their different beliefs. And those beliefs are starting to clash more and more with each other. Lil strives for equality and freedom, for both slaves and won, whereas Cesar is stuck with his conservative ideas. For Cesar, n and won arent on equal grounds with each other, even though he still treats won nicely, they will never be given the sa respect he has for his fellow n. The hard thing here is that Cesar doesnt know that he is at fault, if you can even say that soone is at fault here. Cesar is following the norms and values taught to him by day today life, Lil is actually the odd one with her rebellion against whats considered normal. In Cesars eyes, he is already extrely lenient with Lil, considering the current dynamics between a man and a woman. What isnt helping is that Cesar appears to be missing a sense of empathy for Lil, as he doesnt see the chain he has fastened around her neck. And therefore her inability to leave or refute him. Or he just doesnt want to see it
Theories:
So, did anyone notice the sudden rain fall after days/weeks of drought? Wouldnt it be amazing if its all due to Bellus blessing? (Orsayus sit tibi praesidium. = May Orsay be your protection.)
