Chapter 42 Clash (3)

"Don't mistake my grace for apprehension. I am only giving you a single chance because I respect the authority that is behind you. So it would do you well to compose yourself before I forcefully turn off that leaking tap of yours" Captain Crimson eye said as he looked at Knight Camille's exasperated face.

One of the mistakes made was making him release his bloodlust.

And although he didn't know how many people she has killed till now, he was sure that it didn't even fill a quarter of the number of corpses he has buried under the ocean.

With dread and uncertainty in her eyes, Knight Camille immediately withdrew her bloodlust.

Although she couldn't fathom the amount of slaughter the man opposite her had done just to get this heavy amount of killing intent, she knew that right now wasn't the right time to test their strengths against each other.

Right now, the more they wasted time talking to each other, the more time her ship is being driven away by that traitorous bitch.

So the first course of action right now was to get that ship and sail her way out of this ocean until she gets back to the Empire.

This whole journey has been driving her insane, and she was sure that if she was to spend one more month on this ocean, then she might really run mad.

"I understand" Knight Camille said as she nodded her head in understanding.

For now, she couldn't wait to get her hands on that bitch, and as for Captain Crimson's eye threat…. Well, he should pray that she doesn't ever find him far away from the sea, if not, he will regret ever stepping his foot on land.

Nodding his head at her response, Captain crimson eye, withdrew his sword from her neck slowly and steadily, drawing only a drop of blood as he watched her eyes flare up with animosity full in them.

He didn't care how she felt as long as she kept those emotions to herself.

"Jerry, tie them up in chains, till we get back their ship" Captain Crimson eye said.

"Cough!!" Jerry replied, faking a cough.

"What?"

"I think the other one might have passed out when you too were measuring your bloodlust against each other. Would you like me to put him in chains after he has woken up or put him in chains before I try to wake him up?".

Seeing that his second in command was trying to lighten up the atmosphere, Captain Crimson eye shook his head with an exhausted sigh escaping his lips.

"Handle him whichever way you want you to" He said as he turned his eye away from the unconscious body of Mad John and set his attention back on Knight Camille.

"But make sure she is bounded in chains first. And if she disagrees or tries to claim right, let her be. I will be very happy to handle the problem myself".

"Alright Captain" Jerry responded.

Picking up a black-coloured sheath beside his chair, Captain Crimson eye sheathed his sword as he walked out of the room.

"Let me go and see if it is truly the Prince that dares to forcefully pass through my sea".

His voice sounded out once more as he faded through the hallway.

" "

"Ahem!! Unfortunately, we are out of chains. But we do have ropes, so which kind of knot would you prefer?" Jerry said with a deep smile on his face as he saw Knight Camille's furious expression as she gritted her teeth in extreme anger.

"Guess, we are going with the double Jerry's hand knot style then" He added bringing out a rope from under his clothes.

"I don't know about you, but it's not every day I get to personally try one of my knot handcuffs on a guardian knight.

Knight Camille closed her eyes in response, as she tried to carefully control her anger.

Meanwhile, Captain Crimson's eye had just arrived at the upper deck when he saw a tall and slender, light-skinned woman with deep-set, brown eyes, smooth eyebrows, a stubby nose and a cleft chin. She had dull, dark brown hair and was dressed in a deep violet robe that had a deep v line below her chest, leaving a huge part of her cleavage on full display.

"Annabelle" Captain Crimson eye said as he nodded his head at her.

"Captain" Annabelle responded with a smile on her face.

Walking towards the ship, Captain Crimson eye took a telescope that was handed to him by Annabelle and used it to zoom in the direction of Prince Wyatt's ship.

"Due to a wind, they are picking up quite a momentum" Annabelle said as she looked in the direction of the speeding ship.

"Can you stop them?" Captain Crimson eye asked.

"Of course I can. Isn't it just like any other ship, just because it belongs to a banished Prince doesn't mean that it's any different?".

Shaking his hand at her words, Captain Crimson eye withdrew his gaze from the telescope and handed it back to her.

"According to Jerry, the ship might have been heavily fortified and enchanted by very skilled mages, so it isn't just any typical pirate ship".

"Dont worry Captain, I doubt that the spells from any of those assholes at the tower might be able to stop my magic" Annabelle replied with a playful wink.

"Alright, do it" Captain Crimson eye said as he turned and walked up the deck where the helm was located.

Looking at his crewmen that were each at the posts, he shouted "SEND AN EMERGENCY SIGNAL TO THE FLEET ON THE OTHER SIDE. ALERT THEM OF THE INCOMING TRESPASSER. EVEN THOUGH THAT SHIP HAS PASSED THROUGH US, IT SHOULD NOT PASS THROUGH THEM".

"AYE CAPTAIN!!"

Various voices were heard as they each responded to Captain Crimson eye words.

"Oh Captain!! You have so little faith in me" Annabelle said as she shook her head in disappointment.
