Chapter 113: Royal Princess



The waves crashed against the hull of the crimson-sailed ship while it continued sailing through the open sea.

Leaning against the railing, Adam chewed on the stem of a piece of wheat and watched the strange water creatures glide effortlessly through the water.

Mortal Online was a home for all sorts of exotic creatures that were never seen in the "Other World."

"E-excuse me, sir Adam."

"Yeah?" Adam turned around to see a young servant standing nervously behind him.

He was an Original, serving the Crimson Hound guild as a servant boy.

It was quite an honor for the Originals, who were mostly farmer folk and rarely seen as anything other than commoners.

The Originals couldn't possess the player's system, which gave them godlike powers.

They also couldn't consume player items, such as the Flasks of Rising Moon and Setting Suns; otherwise, they would burn themselves from the inside out.

"May I pour you a drink?" The young servant asked, holding a flask of water and a small cup in his hands.

"Sure." Adam responded, taking the glass from the servant and gulping down the water. The servant bowed and quietly returned indoors to finish scrubbing the floors from dirt.

In the captain's quarters, Digby shook in his seat while the waves crashed against the ship's hull.

The gas lamp flickered on the table while Digby was trying to read some text that was barely legible in the dim light.

The door was opened slightly, and Valora stood in the doorway, then gently knocked on the door to gain Digby's attention, as he didn't even notice that the door had opened.

"What is it?" Digby asked as he slammed the book shut in frustration, as he couldn't make any sense of the text because of the dim lighting.

"We're about to reach the pirate graveyard." Valora said. "We cannot afford to go around it, or we'll be late for the Gathering."

"I understand." Digby nodded. "Full power ahead. Also, ready the cannons. Let's hope there isn't any need for them."

"Yes, guild master."

At the front of the ship, its hull cut smoothly through the blue water as it neared the ghostly graveyard.

Not even a moment later, planks and barrels collided with the ship.

The ship was immediately surrounded by broken ships that had either been sunk by pirates or had crashed into rocky formations that peeked from beneath the surface.

It suddenly turned dark as ships that were three times the size of the ship loomed overhead, casting a shadow over the crew.

However, they seemed abandoned, as they simply sailed past.

"Hahahah~"

She landed on the deck and walked past the mercenaries, who gave way and stepped aside.

All the mercenaries around her were way taller than her, but for an odd reason, she gave off more pressure than all of them combined.

She was about to walk past all the mercenaries, but one of them didn't move aside and blocked her path with her hands on her waist.

Lucette stared down at the strange woman and puffed her plentiful chest.

"Hmm~" The woman raised her head and smiled at her with two canine teeth peeking from

her mouth. "Well, well, what do we have here?"

"You just happened to encounter us?" Lucette asked. "Are you sure you didn't find us because

of a specific person?"

"You do not believe me?" she asked and giggled. "I never lie."

"You haven't even told us your name," Lucette said. "I am not letting you get close to him without telling your intentions first."

"Oh, a protective mother-" She giggled and said, "My name's Amella, and I assure you, my intentions are purely innocent."

"You're from Monstrym, aren't you?" Lucette asked and pointed at her own face. "Based on

your pink skin."

"So what if I am?" Amella asked with a tilt of her head.

"Honestly, I don't trust your kind." Lucette said, crossing her chest over her breasts.

"That's rude~" Amella said with a pout. "Can you move out of the way? I just want to see

him."

"No-"

"Lucette, it is fine." Adam touched her on the shoulder, nodded at her with a reassuring smile, and looked at the pink-skinned woman.

"Alright..." Lucette looked at him with a soft gaze and stood aside, but she stayed close

enough to protect him if needed.

To her, Adam was the future of the guild. Nothing could happen to him. It was unacceptable.

"Ah~" Amella looked up at him with a smile. "You look quite ordinary~"

"Disappointed, Miss Amella?" Adam asked with a smile.

"No..." Amella replied with her smile growing, "I find ordinary people to be the most

extraordinary."
