"Your highness!
These people are clearly not putting you in their eyes!
Just who the hell did they think they were?"
"Your highness.... they already took the last available spot.
So now, do they really expect us to drop anchor and sail out in small boats to their port?
How preposterous!"
"Your highness... I think that we shouldn't give them any more glass shards again!"
(*"^")
Many of the men complained to their heart's content until someone quickly spotted some empty spots at the far end of the shores.
"Your highness... I think I see several spots.
But on the massive signboard there.... it says that they all say that they're all reserved for something called the Bay-caronian station." Said Quazy, who was a tall burly man with a ghastly scar on his face.
"Your highness... What Quazy said makes sense.
But looking at it now, the massive ships on this dock show that we can't afford to offend the owner of the place anytime soon.
So maybe it will be better for us to anchor out instead."
"Pui!!!!
Can you listen to yourself?
Do you want his highness to act like a peasant?
Are you even thinking properly?'
"Hmph!... Don't mind him, I've always known that he was a fool!
Because if not, then how would he suggest that his highness should stoop so low in a foreign land?
Wouldnt that just damage his highness' prestige all the more?
And how are you even sure that those are ships?"
"Yeah!
How can any ship be made of metal and float?
I reckon that those are buildings that have been designed to look like ships instead."
"Wait a moment guys... I think what you're saying makes a lot of sense.
But wouldn't it be stupid to just make a metal building and put it in water like that?
Wouldn't it rust?
And even if it was truly a building, then how did they manage to make it underwater?
So it might actually be a ship."
"That's impossible!
It's a building!!!!!"
The men debated for a while, before Skye finally raised his right hand up and called for silence.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the massive terrifying ship greedily.
"Men, whether its a ship or a building... We will definitely know for sure when we take a user look.
But I can assure you all that it is indeed a ship!
And from the look of it, its owner is surely a rich one too.
So it's safe to say that the owner would have some major forces here in Carona.
With that said, if we befriend such a man... Our mission here will be an easy one for sure.
And who knows... Maybe the owner might even give us one of these magnificent ships if he finds out about our identities." Skye said while massaging his chin mischievously.
Even though some of them suspected that those structures we're truly ships... The realization of it all truly hit them hard, since they had never seen a ship like this.
Their legs instantly went weak from shock, and their hearts tightened up a bit too.
Did these people perform sorcery when creating these ships?
.
"So your highness... You're saying that we should dock our ships over there?" Quazy asked.
"Hmhm."
"But your highness... The place is still reserved.
So wouldn't the owner be angry with us for doing so?
If we really dock there, then how would we get on the owner's good side?" Asked another man.
Skye looked at the dock and sneered.
"Reserved?
Hehe..... Who could be more important than us?
Any smart man who sees our flag and symbol, would definitely run over to curry favour with us.
We have a lot more to offer these people than anyone else in the Pyno continent.
So for sure, the owner of this place wouldn't be mad.
No!
He would be overly welcoming instead, because there is not a single influential person around that doesn't know the benefits and power that people from the continent of Veinitta wield.
So can such a person dare to go against them?
In addition to that, the fact that I'm also a Prince guarantees our safety all the more..... Because no one would dare touch me for fear of a full-scale war from our people.
With that said, who cares if the place is reserved or not?
Right now, we have now claimed it as our one... And I would like to see who can stop us from docking there." Skye said arrogantly.
As for his men, they also raised their chests slightly higher than average while also looking at the dock arrogantly as well.
His highness was right!
Who could stop them here?
No one that's who!
.
They sailed towards the ship station majestically, and before they knew it... They were now extremely close to the massive heavenly ship.
'Beautiful', they thought.
The ship was really a beauty, and was much bigger than they had anticipated it to be at a distance away.
But while they were still admiring its beauty, 3 metal ships that were about the same size as their own ships... Speedily made way towards them.
They hastily wiped their eyes with their hands, while focusing on these ships in a daze.
How could metal ships go so fast?
Were the men paddling in these ships even human?
And more importantly, shouldn't a floating metal ship be breaking some sort of mystical law or something?
Skye's eyes went back and forth between his own ships and the metal ships for a while.... as if trying to compare the 2 and find out which one was the better option.
And soon, his eyes finally settled with immense greed... as he looked at these metal ships before him.
No matter what, he had to get his hands on at least one 2 or 3 of those ships.
.
"Halt!
This entire dock is reserved, and is only meant to be used by the Ship Station.
So please, leave now and find space in the other dock!
I repeat, this entire place is already reserved!
So please leave now!
