"CLICK!!"

Watching as two individuals, a woman clad in armour and a middle-aged man followed behind jerry as they walked in, it didn't even take me even a second to know which was who because of their obvious attire.

Looking behind them, I didn't see any other person, it was just the three of them.

I guess that I wasn't wrong then. The Prince didn't show up.

Somehow, I was supposed to be upset by the obvious lack of disrespect, but yet….

'This is going to be interesting' I thought as a smile appeared on my face.

It was either the Prince didn't put me in his eyes and was as inept as the rumours say, or there was something which had happened that truly made the Prince unavailable at the moment.

Regardless, I have no intentions of playing whatever game this was.

It was better to teach him some manners first and show him that you can't possibly come to the Crimson eye Pirate's sea and behave the way you want.

"You can sit down".

I watched as they sat down but continued to watch me intently, even hesitating to take their eyes off of me.

Good!

It's good that they are scared and on high alert. This would make things easier for me.

"Where is the Prince?"

"Ahem!!" Jerry immediately faked a cough as he stood beside me.

"What?".

I watched as he bent down to my ears and I proceeded to listen to what he had to say.

And for a moment, I wanted to burst out in laughter, however, I kept myself composed and listened to everything he said.

"And you believe that?" Turning my head towards my second in command, I watched as he raised his hands untroubled.

Nodding my head at his usual behaviour, I sighed.

Sometimes I wished that I had his calm and patient mind, but sometimes, I also found it irritating.

He was definitely unconcerned and unbothered about Prince Wyatt's intrusion into our territory because he believed that whatever it was, we could take care of it without any problems,

Well, he wasn't wrong with his assumptions.

Turning my attention towards the guardian knight in front of me, I asked one more time with a colder tone in my voice.

"Where is the Prince?"

"The Prince is seasick and unfortunately couldn't….."

"Spare your lies to yourself. So you want me to believe that just because the Prince is seasick, he would risk making me his potential enemy by disrespecting me on my sea instead of coming along with you for a quick greeting and continuing on your journey" I said, making it well known to her that I wasn't buying the lies that she was selling.

"SIgh!! Believe it or not Captain Crimson eye, you are speaking too highly of the Prince. He isn't as intelligent as he looks. And because of his sickly appearance and the tantrums he threw in order not to be carried along, bringing him here might have done more harm than good" Knight Camille replied.

With a raised eyebrow, I turned to the crewman beside her and asked "Is this true?"

"Y-Yes. She is right. The Prince is not in any condition to pay a visit, so we decided to come by ourselves here" Mad John stammered.

Hah!! He couldn't even look me in the eye while talking to me.

"Fine, if the Prince doesn't want to come to see me, then I will go and see him myself" I said, turning my head to Jerry.

"Go and prepare a boat that would accommodate everyone here. We are going to pay the Prince a visit and teach him some common manners".

"Alright Captain".

"And tell Annabelle to come along too".

Jerry nodded his head and left the room.

"What is the meaning of this Captain?"

Looking at the Knight, I felt her leaking bloodlust towards me.

"If the Prince cannot come to me, then I have no problem going to meet him. And besides, I have already gone passed my limit by going to see him in his shop even though this is his first time on my sea"

"Trust me when I say that not everyone has this privilege, so shouldn't you be grateful that I am doing all I can to avoid a potential bridge forming between us" I said, releasing my bloodlust in return.

"And I think that you better control that leaking tap, or else your partner beside you might suffocate to death".

Feeling the bloodlust disappearing slowly, I retracted my own.

"I am sorry for getting too carried away. But you see, I was afraid that you meeting the Prince might not be a pleasant experience and might put every one of us in a bad position" Knight Camille responded.

"Don't worry, I am a Pirate, so I have a great amount of experience when dealing with psychopaths or mentally retarded individuals. And if I go by your words, the Prince falls into one of those categories, right?"

"But….".

"Enough!! If you have nothing else to say, then keep quiet until we are ready to leave" I said, withdrawing my attention and turning it towards the documents on my desk.

Her rage was obvious, but compared to the number of retarded bastards I face in a week, it was nothing much.

And just like that, the room stayed silent for several minutes, compelling me to almost be done with my work as I waited for Jerry's return.

"BAM!!"

It seems that the boat is ready.

Arranging the files under my drawer I watched as Jerry made his way in, and couldn't help but frown as I look at the scowling expression on his face.

"What is it?".

Calming down his breath, he turned to look at the knight before looking at me.

"It's Prince Wyatt's ship, Captain" Stretching his hands at the two guest in my office, he continued "Their ship is currently on the move and is trying to forcefully push through our sea".

"WHAT!!?"
