Preys of the Sea

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 : "Cleopatra VI".

Astro's Point Of View

I look at the ship and i think i saw a goddess- wait- an angel? No- wait- i think a fairy? Oh heavenly! The word elegant, exquisite, glorious, Junoesque, magnificent, resplendent, splendid, statuesque, lovely, pretty, bella, beautiful, and stunning, aren't even enough to describe how beautiful she is!

She's wearing a trousers and shirts and a short billowing trousers known as 'petticoat breeches' and it's tied on her knees.

I stop checking her out when she look at my direction, my brows arche in confusion.

She look like she is looking for something or someone, or perhaps she feel me staring at her?

I blink many times when she point at my direction, huh?

I saw the Canon move at our direction..

"Eh?"

My eyes widen when i realized what's happening! I immediately look at Ace and shan.

"Duck!"I scream.

"Huh? Duck? Quack quack?"Shan said.

"No-"But it was already too late..

.

.

.

"Ugh!"I groaned and open my eye but immediately shut it tight, i let my vision adjust first before fully opening my eyes.

I look around, Huh?

Looks like i survive again... I scoffed.

"Do i have a nine life or something?"I mumbled, I'm on the ship- on the figurehead of the ship to be specific and.. my wrist are both tied.

I look at the sea, are they planning to feed me to the sharks or piranhas?

Well, who cares?

"Don't die! If you die I'm going to kill you!"

My eyes widen.

"All right, astro! Get a grip of yourself!"I said and tried to untie my wrist but it's too tight! I sigh.

Wait.. i think I'm forgetting something...or someone..?

Ah yes! Ace and shan! Where are they?!

"God Damnit!"I mumbled

I look over my shoulder, my eyes widen when i realized something, This is the "Empress" of the seas Ship! What am i doing here?!

My brows arche when i heard footsteps, i immediately pretend to be unconscious, My heart beat fast as the footsteps got louder and louder.

"Come on, Ace! Why can't we keep Astro?"I heard a familiar voice said, they're talking about me?

"Because she's the daughter of the duke!"Another familiar voice said- wait- is that shan and ace?! And wait! They already know that I'm the daughter of the duke?!

"So what?! Our grandpa is part of the marine too!"I heard Shan said.

"That's a different story"Ace said and sighed.

"But i want to keep her! She's soo cool!"Shan said.

"How can you even say that?! You literally just met her!"Ace said."Fine! If you really want to keep her so bad! Then tell captain vi!"Ace said, wait wha— Captain vi?! So they're part of the Empress's crew?

"Yes! So that means you're giving me a permission to talk to our captain?"Shan said.

"Yes now get lost!"Ace said, i heard shan ran away.

"Just what kind of spell did you put to my little brother, huh? He likes you more than he likes me!"I heard ace said.

"Oi! I know you're awake!"He said, i scoffed and open my eyes.

"Hello there"I said and grin, he gave me a bored look.

"Can you untie me?"I ask, he sigh and squat down then he cut the tie on my wrist, i sigh in relief.

"Wohoo! Finally!"I said and rub both of my wrist.

"And-! I didn't put any spells on your little brother! I'm just really cool"I said and smirk, he tsked.

"Yeah, whatever"He said and walk away.

"Wait! H-Hey! Don't leave me here!"I said and jump off the figurehead of the ship, He enter the ship, and i just followed him.

Wow! This ship is big!

"Aren't you supposed to be escaping instead of following me here?"Ace ask, i shrugged my shoulder.

"I will if you will lend me a boat"I said, he look at me unbelievably.

"What?"I ask, he just shook his head and sat at the kitchen counter so i did the same.

A big masculine man open the kitchen door and walk in front of us.

"Yo, otto! Bring me the same dish"Ace said to the big masculine man, he's name is otto, eh?

Otto nod his head and enter the kitchen again, after a few minutes he finally arive with a plate in his hand, my mouth turn to O when i smell an unfamiliar aroma.

He place it in front of ace, I don't know what is it but i bet it taste good!

Otto look at me.

"What can i get for you, Young lady?"He said, i scratch my forehead because I'm not really familiar with their menu.

"J-Just the same dish as Ace please"I said and smile, he nod his head and enter the kitchen again, i look at ace who's enjoying his food and pout.

I sighed, and rest my forehead at the counter.

After a few minutes, i immediately look up when I heard the door opened. Ah finally!

He gave me the food, i thank him and start eating.

After eating, me and ace smile at each other with a satisfied smile.

"This is the best meal i ever had in my entire life!"I said and grin, i saw otto blushed making me giggle.

"Oi, oi! Don't compliment our cook too much!"Ace said and smirked, We both look at the door when it open harshly, revealing shan with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Astroo! Captain vi said you can stay here! But- she wants to meet ye!"Shan said with a pout, i pat his head.

"That's okay, Shan! Thank you!"I said and smiled, he smiled back and held my hand.

"Here! I'm going to take you to our captain's room!"He said and giggle, my eyes widen.

"Wait! We're going to meet her now?!"I ask, he nod his head.

"YOU are going to meet her, and yes now! Aren't you excited? Shihihi"He correct, my jaw dropped.

"As in right now?!"I ask, he nod his head making me gulped.

I composed myself, i just met her earlier and i was immediately stunned by her beauty! I was just using a telescope that time... But now! I'm going to face her! As in face to face!

I sigh and let shan pull me, We stop at a huge door—he knock three times before it open. Shan smiled at me and push me gently inside, the door immediately closed.

"H-Hey! W-Wait- Shan!-"

I heard someone cleared their throat, that must be her! I slowly turn around....and i was stunned AGAIN by her beauty.

"Oh bloody hell"I mumbled, she look at me with a calm face..that..- that expression on her face is..very charming.

She has this black long hair and a gloomy face, Beady hazel eyes, set deep within their sockets, and a Fair skin delightfully compliments her cheekbones.

The is the face of the empress of the sea...

So simple yet so beautiful.

But—

There was something captivating about her, perhaps it's her two pair of hazel eyes? or perhaps it was her gloomy expression? But nonetheless, she's still beautiful as ever.

"Buenas, Young lady. I'm Cleopatra VI- The captain of this ship"
