The Famous artist of Cahors

New island!! The Island of Cahors! Will Tia Rose be there?? How is she??

At the island of Cahors, one of the legendary islands of the Grand Line, there is a girl named Tia Rose finishing the last touches of her art work for the Lord of Cahors.

"All done!!" she said in excitement. "Come take a look at my newest painting, Lord Jeraud."

"Well done my dear, I excepted nothing less from you, young Tia!" said the Lord of Cahors. "It is truly great that such a young lady, as yourself, may be the only one on this island that will talk to me in a normal matter. It's comforting." Said the lord while smiling.

"Happy to be of help, mi Lord!" they both laughed and smiled.

"Are you sure would not like to become my son's wife? You would make a great queen! An excellent one! It's not every day someone gets offered such a great position, and I have offered you that many times!" said the Jeraud proudly, hoping she'll say yes this time.

"Lord Jeraud, please, I've already told you I have a dream to make reality, along with a promise to keep…. You know it makes me sad to talk about it, please focus on finding another queen." Tia said sadly.

"But look! You already call yourself a queen, why not the queen of this island?!" said the Jeraud, with a bit of anger and annoy showing in his voice.

"Fine, I'll tell you why I call myself a queen, even if it may not come true… To be honest the kind of queen I want to be is not one you would want, would u still like to know at the cost of seeing me in a different light? One that may not be good in your eyes?" She said.

"Well of curse! It would be better then wondering on it so much." He said

"Alright then… The reason why I train so hard and work hard as well, to gain a name and to become stronger is because…." There was a long pause while Tia though about Luffy and how she still loved him after all these years, how she wanted to become his queen. 'Ever since he told me he wanted to become the King of the Pirates, I've wanted to be his queen' she made a silent laugh at herself "I'm going to be the Queen of the Pirates!!" Tia finally blurted out, sad that Luffy wasn't the first one to know, but said it in a way that would make Luffy, full of ambition.

"Ha ha! I know never know you wanted to be a pirate Tia! Ha! You thought I was going to look at you differently because you wanted to be a pirate?! Oh Tia, many of my friends and even my older brother left this town to become a pirate!" Jeraud said amused. "Why do you think I'm the Lord of Cahors and not my older brother? It's because he left."

"Oh….is that a bad thing?" Tia said wondering.

"Not at all, my dear! I'm glad you could tell me, last time we talked about this all you said was that you were already in love, never told me who… Would your lover also be your King?" said the Lord, going all fatherly on her.

" Hmm…. W-wel-l…." That's all she could say, her face was red hot from the embarrassment, but she got past that an answered "…I wouldn't call him my lover, as far as I know, this is a one sided love…" said Tia, sad and blushing.

"Then why do you have that rose pendant? I suspect he gave it to you, you said it was a gift from an important person you had left behind in your home town, and you never take it off. You know, you're pretty easy to figure out, my dear" said Jeraud.

"…You're smart, I guess I am easy to figure out but is that such a bad thing?" Tia said playfully.

"Not bad at all, Tia, it is amusing to put the pieces of your puzzle together." Said the Lord. They both laughed, and Jeraud added, a bit sadly "I supposes there will come a day where will have to part, Tia Rose?"

"Yes, I will miss you, but I'll come pay I visit once I've become a Queen!" Tia said happily with a big grin.

"Then I thank you for being such a great person to work with Tia! And we all thank you for all the great things you have done for this island of Cahors!" said Jeraud proudly.

"That was no problem my Lord. I also thank you for training me to become strong and for teaching me the most famous art of this part of the grand line!" said Tia proudly as well.

"You were a great apprentice, you make a great witch, this island is famous for its secrets of magic, and you made this island proud! No doubt you will become a great Queen as well. The person you are in love with is very lucky indeed!" Said Jeraud.

"Thank you, that means a lot to me!" said Tia very happy.

At the same second their conversation was over a servant comes in the room.

"My apologies, My Lord! There is a Pirate Ship heading this way!" Said the servant. "Oh! My apologies to you as well, Nicola, as famous artist u do not like to be interrupted I presume."

"It's ok, you're forgiven, and my work here is done." Tia said, getting used to her artist stage name, in fact not many people know her real name; they've always called her Nicola. "I'll be leaving now, call for me if you need help, I'll be preparing for tonight concert. Ciao!" and Tia left.
