Chapter 41 Captain Crimson Eye's Fury

The only sound that could be heard was the knight's shocked voice.

Turning my head towards the two individuals who expressed different varied expressions of both shock and surprise, I couldn't help myself from laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha!!! Interesting. So, was this the pathetic plan that you guys had come up with Knight Camille?".

…...........

Listening to Captain Crimson eye words, Knight Camille didn't know what to say.

What the hell was happening?

She had left the ship in Lady Clara's care, and the latter had assured her of the ship's safety until they get back.

So how the hell was their ship sailing through the Cryptic sea right now when they weren't on it?

Turning her head towards Mad John, she could see the later surprised face before he proceeded to sigh as though he was expected all of this to happen.

"What do you know? Do you have a hand in this? What kind of plan did you discuss with your fellow sea slaves?" Knight Camille said, muttering under her breath as she made her words loud enough for only Mad John to understand what she had just said.

Meanwhile, Mad John turned his head towards her with a thin smile on his face, looking as though he was enjoying her frustrated and irritated expression.

"I think that you should ask that question to Captain Clara when you get back to the ship. Though that's if they haven't already gone far and are out of sight at the moment" He said.

"What do you mean?" Knight Camille replied as she gritted her teeth at Mad John, clearly annoyed by the latter's lack of concern.

"Pirate code Rule 5 Dash 2 -Any ship that stays 5 days without a captain can be claimed by another pirate, depending on his rank, strength and capabilities. Dash 3- If a Captain is already on board the ship, then according to the Pirate code Rule 1 Dash 10, he or she has full authority over the ship. and anybody who refuses to follow his command must die" Mad John couldn't help but let the smile on his lips deepen as he looked at the shocked face of Knight Camille.

The instant she began to understand and comprehend what Mad John's words meant, her facial expression began shifting from shock, betrayal and anger.

"I guess that Captain Clara knew that somehow, Captain Crimson eye would find out that the Prince was dead. So she took the ship for herself since she knew that if Rule 5 Dash 5 of the pirate code comes into play, she won't have a chance of winning against Captain Crimson eye. But I don't blame her though, she had already lost her ship and part of her crewmen so it would be embarrassing if she was to be passed over as a prisoner again".

Mad John said, adding more pepper to the opened injury.

According to his own view, Captain Clara had chosen the best and safest choice she could take right now.

But if he were to base his judgement on the closeness between Knight Camille and Captain Clara, then Captain Clara might have as well broken the trust and bond they both shared.

However, as long as he was concerned, he didn't care!

This was the same woman, that had threatened him time and time again, so even though he couldn't see her get physically beaten or hurt, he could at least make do with an emotional injury.

"But, it a shame that you didn't see….."

"WHOOSH!!" A chilling wave of bloodlust filled the room like a callous breeze, halting Mad John's words as he felt his throat frozen in fear.

"SHUT UP" Knight Camille said.

And if Mad John had to be honest, this was the first time he had heard spoke with such a cold emotion.

He didn't dare utter any more words as he knew that he knew that death was just a breath away from getting him beheaded.

"CHING!!"

And as though karma was on a heavy dose of steroids, Mad John couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a sword appearing under Knight Camille's neck.

"You dare release such an amount of killing intent in my office!" Captain Crimson eye said as he held a sword with runic blades and a blue handle that was covered in inscriptions, pushing it against knight Camille's neck.

Slowing releasing his bloodlust, he added "Guardian knight or not, this sea is my territory. It belongs to me and not to the Endossa empire. So don't think that if I kill you here, your death would be avenged".

Knight Camille turned her head and locked gaze with Captain Crimson eye, clearly not backing down from his threat.

"How would you know that? Unlike you pirates that are made up of criminals and ruffians, what makes you think that the Empire won't avenge one of its ranking knights?" Knight Camille said, letting her bloodlust go wild, and pushing it against Captain Crimson eye's own.

"Because I am the king of this sea, and you have broken one of its rules. According to the Pirate code, I have every right to kill, hang or throw you offboard my ship to your death. And if the Empire attempts to retaliate, then they would have to fight against every other pirate that is bounded by the Pirate code" Captain Crimson eye replied.

"So tell me Guardian Knight Camille, do you think that Empire of Endossa, one of the greatest Empires in humanity's history can go against the entire ocean just to avenge your death...?"

"I will tell you this once, so listen because I won't repeat myself.... I am a Pirate. I am the sea. The 'Depths of Levethian' is my home and I live by its rules. The Cryptic sea is my kingdom and not one that is bounded by the Empire so its rules and punishments bother me not. I am bounded by the Pirate code, and the Pirate code says -You, Knight Camille henceforth should never set your foot in my kingdom again. If you want to pass my sea, then go around it".
