Chapter 75 Student Teacher Negotiation

"Good morning Prince Wyatt" Annabelle replied "I was wondering what was taking you so long".

Prince Wyatt shook his head, displaying an impish smile on his face "Sorry about that, I just found out that my assistant over here is somewhat scared of telling an ascendant to wait for his Captain's arrival, afraid that she might blast him to bits with her magic".

She nodded her head in understanding. She had already experienced such an event two to three times so she didn't find it disagreeable. Turning her head to look at the culprit, she found him looking away ashamed.

"Can we go to your office, I want to talk to you privately" Annabelle responded, wanting to get to the root of her arrival and purpose on this ship.

Of course, Prince Wyatt took notice of the woman's strange behaviour, however, his smile didn't falter as he nodded his head in understanding before turning around "Okay. Follow me then".

Walking behind the Prince, Annabelle's lips twitched as she had expected him to be more arrogant and unbridled. After all, he had thoroughly defeated her during their battle.

Mage ascendants were more prideful than the rest because they were born differently, made differently and could see the world differently. She was also that way without exception however a mage ascendant that was a cut above the rest of the other mage ascendants was even more prideful and arrogant because they believed that they were specially created, hand-made by the gods.

She believed that Prince Wyatt shouldn't be an exception, after all, he was a Prince with outstanding magical capabilities. However, it seems that her thinking was flawed.

In a minute, they all arrived at a door.

"Ahem" Prince Wyatt called out for Annabelle's attention. He said "As you can see, my ship is in a very bad condition, so please, bear with me. This is the best I could do upon short notice".

She nodded her head.

Prince shook his head at the woman's detached gaze, knowing that her mind wasn't here at all. At this moment, he wondered what could be so important that she had come to meet him this early in the morning when they haven't even exchanged a simple phrase before this meeting.

The door opened, and they all walked in. However, for Annabelle, all she could see was a bright blue sea in front of her.

"This!!" She was left speechless by the view.

Although she knew how bad the condition of the ship was, she hadn't guessed that it was this bad.

She couldn't help but think about how the ship was still staying afloat, and the only answer that came to her mind was that this whole ship might have been enchanted.

"It's a beautiful view isn't it".

She nodded her head. Yes, it was indeed beautiful and somehow, it felt unique.

"Alright, please, take your seat" Prince Wyatt said, moving behind the table as he sat on his chair with his back facing the direction of the open sea after spreading his brown coat apart.

She sat down and watched as his gaze never left her body. From her perky boobs and the way she flaunted them, to the robes that didn't do justice to her curvaceous body, she knew that she was a feminine bombshell.

However, that didn't mean that she appreciated the perverted glint in his eyes as he continued to visually feast, thirsting over her body.

Raising the hems of her robe to cover her exposed bust, she watched as a wry smile spread upon his lips after she had blatantly exposed his actions.

"So, what do I owe this unexpected visit, Miss Annabelle?" Prince Wyatt queried, seeing that he has been caught staring at the woman's deep V-line that emphasised her breast, almost giving him a terrible hard-on.

It seems that getting wet dreams with a functioning dick is something that he would have to learn how to control since his sexual urges were still at an all-time high.

Annabelle seeing no other reason to waste any more time went straight to the point.

"I want to join your crewmen" Annabelle answered. She watched as he gulped before widening his eyes in surprise.

"If you don't mind Prince Wyatt, I would like to be a part of your crew" She repeated, taking note of his dazed look.

'This might be easier than I thought' She thought, trying her best to put on the most convincing expression of a woman who wouldn't take no for an answer.

Meanwhile, Prince Wyatt couldn't help but almost choke on his words as he heard the woman's reply.

Even Mad John who he had taken a glance at also had a wary expression on his face.

However, Prince Wyatt thinned his lips as he scrutinized the woman in front of him. There were a lot of questions in his head that started with 'why?'.

Regardless, no matter how pleasing he found the idea of having a woman on his ship, he couldn't help but keep his guard up as he was yet to know the woman's reason for making such a serious conclusion.

"And can I know the reason why you choose… Why do you want to join my crew?" He said "The last time I checked, Captain Crimson eye seems to be faring better than me both as a Pirate and as a Captain".

"I understand your suspicion, but the thing is that I don't have any space to continue growing on Captain Crimson eye ship" Annabelle answered "The last time we fought, you had thoroughly defeated me to the extent that I was rendered unconscious. Thankfully, instead of playing along with my ignorance, I can see that your skills and magical capabilities are much better than mine, so that is why I came here today to see if you can accept me as your student"

"I know that you will be leaving here very soon when you are done taking care of whatever business at hand and since I can't learn from you and increase my knowledge when you are thousands of miles away, I wanted to be a part of your crew as that would make things a lot easier".

Prince Wyatt raised an eyebrow at her answer. So just because he had defeated her in battle, she wants to leave everything behind and follow him.

It's either she is a battle-hardened narrow-minded fool or a one-sided woman who couldn't take her loss to heart!

Nonetheless, this was only from his point of view since he knew that the way he saw things were different front others in this world.

Turning to look at Mad John who was standing at his side, the frown on the man's lips and the way he narrowed his eyes told him everything he needed to know.

That if he didn't handle this carefully, then trouble was bound to come his way.

"You wish to join my crew just because of that" He questioned.

"Yes"

"Okay, let's just say that I accepted you as part of my crew, what is in there for me?" Although he knew that he was playing a very dangerous game right now since he didn't even know about the basics of this world's magical system, and even though he had no real power currently except for the backing of Toothless, he couldn't downplay the role he was playing right now as a really powerful individual who hides his power just for the sake of it.

"You are saying that you want me to teach you and that you are willing to join my crew, yet you haven't laid any benefits for me so that I could think about accepting you or not" He added.

'I didn't think of that' Annabelle thought, searching through her mind for answers as she had stupidly failed to plan for a situation like this.

She bit her lips and derailed her eyes to the side before focusing her attention back on Prince Wyatt.

"Well, there is a reason for that. You see, I don't know anything that I can offer to the First Prince of one of humanity's greatest empires" Thankfully, she wasn't dumb enough to leave the conversation hanging and quickly came up with a response.

"Banished Prince" Prince Wyatt corrected her "And I don't need to remind you that you are currently in a broken ship that would collapse at any minute. So if there is anything that you can offer me, please do tell me".

"You know, it would be much easier if you tell me what you want because...."

"Miss Annabelle." Prince Wyatt spoke. His voice caused Annabelle to flinch because of the cold tone laced into it "Don't worry about what I want...….. Because if I tell you what is it that I am presently in need of, I am 100 per cent sure that you won't be able to provide even 1 per cent of it. All I want to know is what you have to offer. However, if you have nothing, then please leave my ship and stop wasting my time"
