Chapter IV
It was yet another beautiful day and a certain blond was leaning on the sides of the ship busy admiring the beauty of the vast seas. Who would have thought that he would be able to witness this view? One minute he was a prince locked up in his room the next thing you know it he was out here with a bunch of noisy pirates at the same time he was wondering how his brothers are doing not that they know that he ran away knowing his brother the king Patrick would do any means just to get him back inside the palace walls. Having the thought of that made the blond sigh heavily.
" it's bad luck to be sighing like that " a voice from behind him caught the blonds' attention
" Tonio ... I mean captain do you need something? "
" nothing in particular I just wanted to go sightseeing " the pirate answered leaning closer to Arthur with their faces an inch away from each other.
Arthur's faced flushed from the pirates behavior he turned his face away from Tonio facing the sea once again trying to hide his flushed face.
" idiot " the blond mumbled
" I heard that "
" whatever " the blond retorted which made the other chuckle
" what? " Arthur hissed
" nothing "
" tch! "
" you are easily teased " Tonio said
" I am not easily teased you are just annoying "
" but charming " the pirate retorted with a smirk
" ugh! you are full of yourself " Arthur replied with an irritated tone which amused the pirate even more.
" by the way Arthur you still haven't told me why the guards were after you "
Athur paused in whatever he was doing and froze in place. Great just great it was a perfect timing the pirate had to ask that question now he needs to think of a good story or more like an excuse to answer his question.
" I tried to steal something " he answered with a nervous a smile
Tonio raised an eyebrow at the blond " you tried to steal something? " he repeated the words with disbelief in his tone.
" uhh..yeah? .. "
" you? steal? you are making fun of me right? "
Arthur's nervous smile slowly turned into a frown " you're underestimating me aren't you? " he said in a monotone voice.
" pfft " Tonio let out a laugh that made the blond frown even more " I.. I'm sorry .. It's just ... Really hard to believe that you would steal from someone"
Arthur was pissed " you ... You are underestimating me! why you ... I'll show you ... Just because you're a pirate doesn't give you the right to look down on others "
" Lo siento.. lo siento .. I did not mean to laugh ... but I am mot looking down on you .. It's just ... I find it hard to believe that you would steal from someone .. Your too fragile"
Arthur doesn't know how to react on that one but he can feel his face heat up.
"w-whatever I'm getting out of he- woah "
Just as Arthur turned away from Tonio the ship started to rock back and forth causing him to lose his balance fortunately Tonio caught him.
" you ok? "
"yeah fine thanks ... what's happening? " the blond asked
" don't worry it's just a couple of sea beasts passing by the ship "
" oh .. Wait what? " Arthur almost shouted those words when he saw a long serpent like sea creature swimming in the water beside their ship.
" what the bloody hell is that? "
" I told you that's one of the sea beast a sea serpent "
" sea serpent? I thought those things only exists in books "
" well you're looking at one right now " Tonio answered with amusement all over his face while staring at the blond
Arthur was in a complete trance he has never seen a sea beast before and seeing one for the first time gave him a mixed feeling of fear and amazement. Amaze of the wonders that he world has that he can only read in books and he never thought that they actually exists.
" enjoy the view? " tonio asked making Arthur snapped from his trance
" mhm ... I never thought I'd be able to see something so ... I can't find the words to describe it "
Tonio chuckled at the blonds' statement " you don't go out at sea more often do you? "
Arthur frowned at that thought " it's not like that ... It's more like. "Arthur hesitated before he told Tonio the truth " I've never been out before "
Tonio noticed the stern look on the blonds' eye and he knew exactly that Arthur was not joking at the moment.
" what do you mean by that exactly? " Tonio asked with a raised eyebrow
" my brother never let me out of our house he always say it's for my own good it's as if he's dictating how my life should be that's why I ran away "
" ran away? Is that why you tried to steal something? "
Arthur felt s little guilty for telling that lie he never really intended to deceived it's just that he really doesn't have a choice" uhm.. Yeah I guess you could say that "
" I see, you have one very protective brother "
" hmm... I know he's just doing it for me but still i want to decide something for my own "
Tonio stared at the blond it was his first time seeing Arthur with a determined look and seeing it amazed the pirate.
" hey, get ready "
Arthur was confused with the pirate's sudden command
" get ready for what? " he asked
" we're going sightseeing " Tonio said before leaving the still confused blond
**** TIME SKIP ****
Fressia is prosperous kingdom just like Fae it is known as the blooming kingdom since it's a place where you can find all types of flowers and plants plus it's a kingdom that has the most magnificent places to visit.
" ahhh… we are finally here " an albino said just as soon as he took a step on the grounds of Fressia with the other six behind him.
" alright everyone here? " Tonio their captain asked. It seems that their ship just docked at Fressia's port. Everyone answered letting their captain that they're there.
" listen up we'll be staying here for a couple of days maybe three to five it depends so I want all of you to take turns in guarding the ship we'll start with Lovino you'll be the first to guard the ship who comes next is for you to decide but for now you all can do whatever you like "
Everyone nodded in response with Tonio's orders
" yo! Francis let's go to our favorite pub " an albino happily exclaimed
" oui, Gil let us drink to our hearts content " Francis answered " how about you Lovino what will you do? "
" I'll search the town for some guns or other stuffs that we can use and then I'll go with Tim "
" what will you be doing Tim? " Francis asked again
" I'll be selling some of the things I got along our way "
Francis and Gilbert stared at Tim with an unidentified reaction
" he really loves money doesn't he? "
" oui, very much "
" how about you Roderich? " Lovino asked not minding the other three
" I need some new papers and an new pen so I'll try to look for those things "
" I see, what about you Arthur? "
" oh? Uhmm… "
" he's coming with me " Arthur was cut off at the same time shocked from what their captain had just said and it seems that it wasn't only the blond that was shock but everyone as well
" I beg your pardon? " Arthur spoke confused
" you're coming with me " Toni answered again
" and why is that? "
Tonio let out a soft chuckle before answering " because I want to show you what you've been missing you're entire life "
