Chapter 10

Son-con – Vol . 13 Ch . 10

The ocean here in this world was the same as the sea in the world I came from . I don’t know if they were the same in every world . The ocean was forever blue . We stood out on the ship on the water and looked around . The end of the ocean and the sky seemed to meet as one entity . If it wasn’t for the white clouds lazing around, the ocean and sky must’ve been connected .

It wasn’t peaceful on the ocean . Perhaps our ships tore through the ocean, which was why we had waves . I stood at the bow and looked at the water . The ocean breeze blew against me . My breaths felt moist . I randomly felt overpowered as if the ocean belonged to me . Once one expands their vision, they’ll feel as though things are expansive and grand . I guess that was how you feel on ships . Seeing the vast sea did, indeed, make me feel stronger .

The modifications to the ship were apparent . There was a big, flat platform at the front of the ship . The rails were simple wooden rails . It was a little risky, but I didn’t think anybody would fall overboard; we weren’t that stupid . The bridge had been modified to be our living quarters . The servants and maids resided there . The dining hall, activity room and bedrooms were practically the same as the way they were in my Imperial Palace . Only a few rooms belonged to the crew . They lived in the cabin below . The ship was quite large . It looked decent from outside; however, standing at the bow, I thought it was the size of Ling Yue’s body .

I’d assume it’d pack a lethal amount of firepower if it was a warship . That was not to mention it was mana-powered, so it was a lot faster than current warships, and they could replenish energy at night . Therefore, you could live at sea forever on the ship as long as you had food and water .

If it was an elven warship, it would be a monster, because Vyvyan’s time magic could preserve the food and water as well as let it float on top of the water surface without needing to be replenished . That meant it wouldn’t need to resupply at ports and could travel as it pleased . Fortunately, such a formidable weapon was in my hands .

We didn’t have many ships guarding us . They were all mid-sized sailing ships . The mid-sized agile ships could perfectly subdue pirates . Pirates of this world didn’t have these mid-sized ships; they didn’t have ports that they can stop at whenever they liked to resupply, after all . I really wanted to find out where the pirates came from on this journey, as well . There might be some strange small island at sea that the pirates originated from . If it existed and I cleaned it up, I might’ve had myself a private island to spend vacations at .

I didn’t see any small islands, sadly . That said, we had only left for a few hours, so it was only normal I hadn’t spotted any . I turned around to look at Lucia sitting on the edge looking at the sea as well as Nier, who was lying underneath an umbrella . Nier’s lips were somewhat pale . Nier, who was commonly wearing a cold and fearless look, met her most terrifying enemy aboard the ship . Aforementioned enemy was sea sickness . Nier was defeated after staying on the ship . She went from a cold Princess into a weak Princess shivering in the corner . Thus, she had no choice but to lay down behind us .

I felt sorry for Nier . She was on her own ship to have fun, and it was a rare opportunity to be out on the ocean water, yet she was incapacitated and had to lie down for the entire trip due to sea sickness . Lucia, who sat to one side, relished Nier’s misery . She had completely adapted to the sea, so she didn’t have any struggles . However, little Lucia was really sly . She completely ignored Nier, who was sea sick . She even forcefully dragged Nier to the deck . Suffice to say, the elf, Lucia, was full of hatred for the woman who stole her man .

Lucia was very interested in the sea below . Every time there was a trace of a fish, she’d exclaim in surprise the same way a child did . Who would’ve thought such a cute girl with a small body was the mother of two kids?

“Lucia . ”

When she saw me sit down next to her, Lucia wrapped her arm around mine and pointed down to the sea while excitedly shouting: “Mm? What’s wrong, Your Highness? Did you see that? There’s fish . There’s fish . Your Highness . Your Highness, I just saw a fish leap up . ”

Elves didn’t come into contact with the ocean . Hence, Lucia never had the chance to play out on the ocean . It was a new scene for Lucia, making her as happy as a child . I might’ve cheerfully played around with Lucia if Nier wasn’t watching us with a miserable gaze .

Nier was stuck lying down behind me . She watched us with a very miserable and irate gaze . When I turned around, I also detected her pleading me with her gaze . I couldn’t help it, though . I didn’t have sea sickness medication in this world for her… All we could do was wait for her to naturally recover after some rest… However, I remembered there was something that could bring a dispirited Nier back to life, the challenge being that I needed Lucia to take it out…

Lucia should’ve had the fruit Luna once provided us with . The fruit could help one sober up from the influence of alcohol . Surely it could also relieve nauseous symptoms induced by sea sickness . Nier might have looked expressionless when she last ate it, but the sourness caused her entire body to shiver .

“Lucia, did you bring that fruit with you?”

The fruit was a specialty produce of the elves . We didn’t bring it along, but Lucia – who couldn’t hold her liquor well – apparently brought some in her bag due to her concern of getting drunk .

“What fruit?”

“The really sour type . ”

“Oh?”

Lucia narrowed her eyes then glanced at Nier, who was behind her . She then revealed a mischievous grin . Lucia used to wear an innocent and friendly smile as though she wouldn’t hurt anybody, but it was cruel and mischievous this time . Friendly animals become very violent when it comes to fighting for their mate . For instance, Lucia revelled in weakened Nier’s misery .

“Well, if you kiss me in front of Nier, I shall comply . ”

“You sure?”

I looked at Nier, who had her teeth clenched, and then looked back at Lucia, who was so proud of herself that she’d be wagging her tail if she had one . Lucia hugged me then ran up to Nier . She wrapped my arm in hers . She looked at me with a boastful gaze: “I’m sure!”

I peeped at Nier’s gaze . It was very clear her eyes were saying, “Your Majesty, agree to her request, and then leave the rest to me . ”

I nodded, and then kissed Lucia’s lips in front of Nier .

Ten minutes later…

“Get over here, you bitch!! How dare you use me to threaten His Majesty! Get over here! I swear I’ll cut your ears off today!!”

“What do you want?! I’m warning you! I will fight back! Listen, you might not be able to beat me right now, you sea-sick idiot… Your Highness, her condition is called sea sickness, right…? Mm, that’s right . Weak women get sea sick . How are you worthy of being His Highness lover when you’re so delicate? I’m warning you! I’m warning you! I’ll rip your arm off!”

I wasn’t sure if Nier’s fighting abilities were diminished as a result of her sea sickness, or if it was Lucia’s satisfaction with herself that augmented her abilities . Either way, the two of them randomly began an endless fight… and only stopped once they were both exhausted…
