Chapter 37 The Grand Sea
?I just hope the description of hell here matches the one I know back on earth.
And if it doesn't.
Well, I don't mind becoming the devil and starting such an era myself.
....
[ DEPTHS OF LEVIATHAN, CRYPTIC SEA ]
"So you are saying that the ship belongs to that useless Prince"
Captain Crimson eye otherwise known as Arnold Baron, Captain of the Crimson black-eye crew said as he handed the telescope to his subordinate which he has been using to view the devastating ship from afar.
Of course, he knew about the banished Prince of the Endossa Empire who had taken refuge in the seas of the 'Depths of Leviathan', under the arms of Captain Silver-tongue.
But still, that doesn't mean that the whole world knows about the banishment as such information was swept under the rug, and only those who know 'Who knows who' or are in direct contact with the royal imperial family know about the matter.
"Yes sir, I am sure of it. According to the information that I had gotten from 'Who knows who', the details of the ship match the description that he had given me. And he said that the ship given to the Prince by Emperor Brewer is a very special ship crafted from the finest materials one could find and also proceeded to get the imperial mages to fortify and enchant the ship".
Jerry, the right-hand man of Captain crimson eye, and one of the crewmen of the Crimson black eye crew said as he nodded his head in affirmation.
"And looking at the wreckage of the ship, it would seem like it is only through a miracle that it can still stay afloat atop the sea. Even though the bastard Prince was banished, he was still given treasures that would make any pirate moan in pleasure. And yet, look at how he left the condition the condition of such a beauty just after 2 months" Jerry said, shaking his head in disappointment as he looked at the wrecked ship with a tinge of guilt and jealousy in his eyes.
"If all you have said is through, and that is his ship, then what is he doing on my sea, isn't he supposed to send me a messenger to inform me of his arrival before he enters my territory" Captain Crimson eye, a 6'4 tall well-built fair-skinned man with short straight hair, light dark green eyes and a small distinctive scar that looked as though it was gotten from a sword that ran from his neck to his cheek replied as he turned to look at the middle-aged man beside him.
Ever since he had first sailed the sea, Jerry has always been beside him. Whether it was against an opponent they knew they couldn't win against or a sea monster threatening to capsize their ship, he never faltered nor shook by the winds of the problems.
Truth be told, there were several times he would have died if it wasn't for his quick witty mind, but that was in the past.
Right now, in front of them was the famed Prince that he had heard about but never met.
Although he had heard the details of his banishment from Jerry, he still wanted to meet the Prince himself and find out if all the rumors about him were true.
Because for one, he couldn't believe it.
How could the fall of the first Prince of one of the Great empires be so great?
Sure, he has heard and witnessed various instances of the quote 'A fall from grace to grass', after all, several of that instances was done by his hands.
But the Prince was different, forget mentioning him personally, even his title as the first prince was supposed to make set for life.
Yet, here he is. Sharing the same dreaded ocean as them.
Although he still didn't know how the Prince had managed to survive in 'Depths of Levethain' -one of the great grand seas in 'Thacarnia' even though he possessed such a special ship, he was still curious about his visit.
"Did my father send me any letter about the Prince's visit that I am not aware of?"He added.
"No Captain. I haven't received any such letter from your father, Captain Baron. And besides, I don't think that the Prince is here for a visit, I think that he is here to ask for help" Jerry said, placing the telescope on his right eye as he magnified the lenses after spotting something.
"It seems that they had spotted us too Captain and are currently making their way over here" He added.
"Asking for help huh!! Well, if they do arrive, welcome them as our visitors and send them over to my office" Captain Crimson eye said as his gaze was still fixed on the broken and battered ship.
"I want to know who the first Prince of the Endossa empire is. Even though he was banished, I need to know if there is another story behind it, and if there is then I need to get him to my side"
"Because, banished or not, he must still have connections to his father, Emperor Brewer the 3rd who is a close friend of Captain Silver-tongue" Captain Crimson eye said as he turned to look at Jerry with a small smile on his face.
"And if after meeting him, and he indeed proves useful, then climbing our ladder would become much easier and faster than we had anticipated".
"And what if he isn't? What if the information from 'Who knows who' was right and he is now a man without a throne, a crown, and an empire, and has now become a bastard whose connection with the royal imperial family has been cut off? An empty shell of his former self with only a beautiful ship to his name, what would you do then?" Jelly replied as he continued looking at the pinnace boat that was slowly making its way towards their ship.
