Chapter 54 [Bonus ]Sheathe Your Sword

Although he thought about the odds of Captain Crimson eye refraining him from killing Knight Camille, such a possibility was minuscule as he could think of various reasons why it was bound not to happen.

Nonetheless, a possibility of 1 per cent possibility of it happening was still a possibility so he could only tread with caution and keep Toothless on hold with his thoughts.

'Hmmm!! I wonder how far we could communicate with each other before it stops working?…. I guess that I will try to find the limit later'.

"We are here" Captain Crimson eye said.

Opening the door, he couldn't help but freeze as he looked at the scene happening in his office.

"What is going on here?".

"Ahem!! Captain…. I was just testing my rope tieing skills" Jerry replied shyly as he tightened the ropes around Knight Camille's wrist.

Knight Camille couldn't help but groan as she felt the knob around her wrist tightening.

"With our guest?" Captain Crimson eye responded with a frown.

"You said that I should chain them, didn't you? However, I couldn't find any chains so I decided to use some of my ropes. You should know how well my rope tieing skills are, Captain" Jerry replied, straightening his back as he stood up straight.

"Sigh!!" Knowing that the middle-aged man wouldn't take his next words seriously, Captain Crimson eye could only divert the conversation since the scene wasn't as bad as it looked with Prince Wyatt behind him.

For once, he was happy that Jerry didn't properly follow his orders.

"Is there someone behind you Captain?" Jerry spoke up as he spotted the figure of a man behind his Captain. But he couldn't get a clear view because of the narrow door.

"Yes, there is. And a very important one at that" Captain Crimson eye said as he walked into his office, revealing the figure of Prince Wyatt to everyone present in the room.

"Say hello to Prince Wyatt".

….....

Huh!!

What did I just hear?

I blinked.

No!! It might be that I heard wrongly.

".…P.r..in…ce Wy..att" Mad John said as his voice trembled beside me, echoing deep into my ears.

I blinked again.

"Mad John" The ghost of a man I thought was Prince Wyatt replied.

".….. Prince Wyatt"

My voice sounded like a croaked frog as I spoke up.

"Knight Camille" He replied, looking at me as he locked his eyes with mine.

I swallowed my saliva unintentionally.

The smile on his face and his eyes as he looked at me already told me everything I needed to know.

He was real...

He knew what happened.....

Somehow, he knew why the Tiger Whale had attacked him....

He was alive.....

Somehow, he had survived....

And.....

Now he is here for revenge!!

Damn it!!!

"How have you be...."

I moved.

I tried to free my hands from its bonds however the ropes were surprisingly strong enough to hold my physical strength, causing me to fail to draw to my sword as I dashed towards Prince Wyatt

I paused for a second.

A second that gave him enough time to notice my movement with his eye-widening in surprise and understanding.

Time slowed down in my perception as I channelled my magical energy to the maximum, successfully resulting in the roped being ripped apart as I moved my hand towards my waist and grabbed my sword.

"Swoooossshhh!!"

"BANG!!!"

"Wh..a..t i…s the me…aning of this?" He spoke as I grabbed his neck, tightening my grip around it with one hand while I held my sword with the other and pointed the tip of my blade at his stomach.

"Why are you here?" I hissed.

My voice lost all emotions as I smashed the body of a man that was supposed to be dead against the wooden wall behind him.

"Cough! Cough!!.... What? Aren't you happy to see me?" Prince Wyatt mocked me with a smile on his face.

He responded with a smile. A smile that openly mocked me with no shred of fear or dread on his face.

"How are you still alive?"

I pushed the sword deeper until the tip was threatening to tear through his stomach.

"Cough!!!! Why am I still alive? Hahahaha…. Fortunately, I have my ways and I am afraid that I can't tell you that" He replied with a fit of laughter accompanying his response and he did something that I hadn't expected.

He spat on my face.

"Now I know why that woman always does this. I will have to admit that it feels good".

Feeling the wet fluid sliding down my face, I grimaced.

That smile, I want to wipe it off his face.

I tightened my hand around his neck, my grip threatening to crush his throat with force.

"Coug-Co…"

Yet, the smile never left his face as he attempted to speak.

Realising my grip a little because I was curious about what he wanted to say. Curious about how he was still alive. Curious about why he was still smiling with glee.

This wasn't the Prince Wyatt that I know! I wanted to know what secrets he was hiding from me.

"You are really bad at this assassination work, aren't you?"

My eyebrow cocked up with contempt on my face,

He knew!!

"Although I don't know how you survived the last time, you are the one that's still going to die here".

His smile widened once more as he replied.

"Look behind you"

It was at this moment that I instantly took notice of my surroundings which I had previously ignored.

I was still on Captain Crimson eye's ship.

Turning my head back, I felt a cold hard blade pressing against my neck.

"Although I don't know what is going on here or why you are attacking the Prince. However, as his Guardian Knight, you of all people should know that such actions are frowned upon by the Empire. And in my ship, such actions are against the regulations that I have set".

I had almost forgotten that he was here.
