Chapter 38 - Heartless One 【POV: A certain country’s minister】 My name is Samuel Lauros, I am a minister of the Garnet Kingdom, in the Southern Archipelago. More precisely, I “was” a minister. Several months ago, the Garnet Kingdom was taken over by a foreign country and had been effectively dismantled: my old title had little to no meaning anymore. Garnet had been destroyed by the Lion Kingdom, a pirate country. We had always been at odds with the outlaw state; in recent years,…

Chapter 37 - The Fall of the Pirate Kingdom “The…Overthrower…? Why do you want to know about that…?” Gaion was perplexed. He honestly had no clue as to why Grace would be interested in such a thing. (Could she be planning to mass produce the Overthrowers? Don’t tell me that this woman is aiming to conquer the southern seas too…?) Such thoughts crossed Gaion’s mind as he opened his mouth. “That…was brought to us by a man who joined the crew a few years ago.” “A man…?” “An odd…

Chapter 36 - Attack of the Mad Matriarch On the western side of the Southern Archipelago lay Amethyst island. Largely dominated by a volcanic area, Amethyst was also home to the pirate state Lion Kingdom and its capital, located on the eastern edges of the island. 20 years prior, after king Galahad Blutleid died on the battlefield, the kingdom entered an age of darkness — until the recent emergence of a new king brought new energy to the country. Galahad’s younger brother, Gaion Blutleid, proactively…

Chapter 35 - Battle by Day, Battle by Night One week after the Lion Kingdom pirates’ raid… I was still in the port town of Brutos, watching it be slowly rebuilt. The battle against the Lion King crew ended in a complete victory for our side; most of the pirates who landed to attack the governor’s palace were either captured or killed, and more than half of the 200 ships that formed the fleet had disappeared under the waves. The pirates who survived fled to the sea…but they did not end safe…

Chapter 34 - The Charlatan’s Dance House Asbart, another powerful faction in the Sapphire royal court, boasted authority and influence on par with House Maynast. Eager for a chance to undermine the position of their rival, they would readily set up Baraquemo as a traitor. “Kh… you dare…!” Baraquemo tore up the accusation letter, rolled the pieces in a ball and threw it on the floor. “Oh dear, did you really have to go and make a mess like that? Well, a copy was already sent to House Asbart, so…

Chapter 33 - The Man who Fled and the Insolent Messenger In a small town located to the north of Brutos… The governor put in charge of the port town of Brutos, who had abandoned the city out of fear of the pirates’ attack — a man named Baraquemo Lant — was positively delighted by the good news. “Ooh! Really, is that so! The pirates’ attack has been successfully thwarted?” “Yes, all the pirates who landed were either beaten back or captured. The rest fled back to the…

Chapter 32 - The Battle Ends Another ship was rocked by explosions. “How…fearsome.” Sakuya was looking at the pirate ship going down in flames, her face paler than usual. After slaying all the pirates on the ship we’d boarded, we were observing the surrounding vessels. Of the circa 200 ships that composed the pirate fleet, more than half had already sunk. Before our eyes, another large ship was keeling over, dragging the smaller ships around it to the depths of the sea. “Who would have thought…

Chapter 31 - The Queen of the Sea Birds Countless sea birds were flying over the port, mewing, cawing and crying. From their claws and beaks dangled pieces of rope lit on fire, which they dropped over the pirate ships. Some of the birds even carried glass bottles filled with oil, which helped spread the flames further. The fire eventually reached the pirates’ flaming arrows, explosives and gunpowder meant for the “Overthrower” cannon, setting off large explosions. Cue a series of deafening…
