Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea
Chapter 7 The Poisonous Maids’ Crew (2)An action which I had caught on early and dodged on time with a frown on my face.
"What? Did my words hurt you Prince Wyatt" She said mockingly, attempting to throw me into a disarray of negative emotions.
Her words might have worked if it were the former Prince Wyatt, but to me, they were nothing more than noise.
It didn't generate any emotions from me other than pity.
Yes, what a pity!
Considering how beautiful she was, couldn't the former Prince Wyatt have kept her as a prisoner or something?
A pity that he had to waste such a beauty by throwing her into the ocean.
But thankfully, he was here now, with his johnson fully ready and loaded to erase such a mistake.
"What if I decide to grant you freedom" I said, watching as her eyes grew wide in doubt before her face reverted to its former expression.
But somehow, this one was more vengeful than the last as she looked at me as her one would look at a pile of trash with a contemptuous gaze in her eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow did I know what her gaze meant?
Well, try committing full-scale genocide on a marine aquatic lifeform that had made your life miserable and watched the way you would look at their floating corpses as nothing more but a pile of rubbish.
"Prince Wyatt…" Mad John said as he also looked at me with doubt in his eyes, probably wondering why I had changed my mind.
I needed to do something about that unless I want to leave him doubting my every action and comparing them to the former Prince Wyatt.
"I took your advice this time Mad John and decided to spare her. If she lives, I doubt that Captain Davy would hold any deep grudge against us considering that we spared his daughter's life even though he would still be angry at us for attacking her ship. It still wouldn't be as bad as killing her" I said, coming up with a reasonable excuse.
"Okay, it's good that you considered my advice Prince Wyatt. I also think that it's best we find a city nearby soo and leave her there, hopefully, we would reduce one more potential enemy and only have to worry about Captain Silver-tongue" Mad John said, nodding his head in appreciation as he looked at me while also giving out another piece of advice.
It seems that his advice was not always taken seriously.
Well, that was to be expected because if what I had just learned about the former Prince Wyatt was true, then he was probably a fool.
Though, I have to give him points for being cowardly and dishonourable.
He would have lived longer if he stayed that way.
But he didn't!
"Alright. You guys can lock them up. But don't forget to give them food and water and make sure that their stay on our ship is at least enjoyable until we can reach the nearest city and drop them off there" I said, turning to look at my crew while making sure that they heard each of my words.
Albeit I didn't look them in the eye as I spoke though.
It wasn't because I was scared or anything like that. But I was still getting used to commanding men who looked as though they would tear anyone to pieces at a moment's notice.
And the fact they were covered in blood which I presumed was their enemies' own didn't help the situation either.
Lord! They truly needed to smile often.
"You guys heard the captain, take them to the brig. And make sure that they don't try to escape" Mad John said, repeating my own words to the crew who immediately took action.
'Leave me!" I heard the Captain of the 'Poisonous maids muttering silently as her teeth were once again grinding against each other.
"You said something" I asked, thinking that it was only my imagination but seeing her furious expression made me curious about what she had said.
"I said get your filthy hands off me" She said again, shaking off the hands of my crew members that were helping her to stand on her feet.
And this time, her voice was loud enough for me and everybody around her to hear her.
"You!!" She said, turning her head in my direction as she hissed at me.

Isn't she supposed to be grateful that I was going to be setting her free while still giving her the best services on my ship until we find the nearest habitable land and drop her off there?
"How cowardly can you get?" She added.
"What do you mean?" I responded, clearly not understanding what she was trying to say.
"It's funny isn't it? I, Clara Davy, 'Captain of the Poisonous Maids' would be shown mercy by the likes of someone like you".
Oh! Her name is Clara.
Well, her long blonde hair suited her name. Still, I wonder why several blonde hairs back on earth were named Clara too.
It had to be more than just a coincidence.
"If we had an actual battle and you had shown me mercy, then I would have taken it with a piece of gratitude and accepted it. But you had attacked us shamelessly and the only reason you haven't thrown us off your ship to our deaths yet is that you are afraid of my father taking revenge for my sake"
She added as she instantly closed the distance between the two of us, breathed heavily against my face.
Her actions caused me to frown a little, but what made me frown deeper was that my crew members just stood by and watched as a woman who potentially threaten my life neared me as she rained various insults and did nothing to stop her.
It seems that they didn't put the former Prince Wyatt in their heart enough to feel the need to instinctively protect him from danger.
