Chapter 45 - Protests, Excuses, and Intercourse After the midnight meeting was done, I returned to the ship, anchored at the port. In the captain’s cabin I used as a bedroom, Sakuya and Sue were on the bed. They were both fully naked, for some reason: Sue was lying down, as if in defeat, and Sakuya was on top of her, arms crossed with pride. “I have won today. Technique proves superior to power.” “...really. Good for you.” Sakuya had exacted her revenge, apparently. Despite her usual lack of…

Chapter 46 - Five in the Forest, Before the Raid The night of the following day… I stepped inside the forest close to the palace where Drake usually resided. The sky was heavy with clouds, hiding the moon and stars: the perfect weather for an ambush. “Which is all well and good…but why are you here, again?” When Sakuya and I reached the site the minister Lauros had told us about, for some reason Sue, Roh, and even Xiao Mao came after us, despite not being of any help in a fight. “Ah, I thought I…

Chapter 40 - Departure at Nightfall We waited for the reconstruction of the port to be completed to board the ship “borrowed” from the pirates and leave Brutos. We left before dawn, hidden in a cloak of darkness: if we were seen trying to leave the town, we were definitely going to be stopped. “Sneaking out in the dark like this makes me feel like a criminal…well, we’re technically pirates right now, so I really can’t complain, can I...” Rocked by the waves, I took a deep sigh. A parade in…

Chapter 47 - Fallen Man We arrived at the palace’s rear entrance and entered without a word from the guards. Following the light of the torches hanging on the walls and Sue’s directions, we proceeded deeper inside. Samuel, the minister, had probably made sure to keep the guards out: we did not encounter even one on our way to the throne room. And the exact moment we arrived in front of the door, a powerful explosion went off inside. “This is…gunpowder!” I opened the door, leading the…

Chapter 41 - Unchanged City, Changed People The Garnet Kingdom was a small island state located on the eastern side of the Southern Archipelago. Because of its trade and cultural exchanges with the Huang Dynasty, the country spanning the eastern side of the continent, the unique southern lifestyle of the island states in Garnet blended with Huang’s oriental culture. In Garnet’s streets it was possible to find banners and boards both in southern alphabet and “Huanzi”, a type of characters…

Chapter 48 - Fated Encounter with the Immortal Man “The only place to slay a woman is on a bed. Only scum would enjoy torturing them.” “Haha, that stings.” The knife had without a doubt pierced Drake’s chest, but he pulled it out as if nothing had happened. The wound closed quickly, leaving no trace behind. “A magic tool boosting recovery…? No, that can’t be it.” I was familiar with that kind of recovery. I had witnessed it since I was a child, whether I liked it or not. “So that’s…

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…

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…
