There were many amusents on the ship, truly enough to make one forget their ho, but for Carson Flores, it was just a way to pass the ti; getting lost in it was impossible.
Carson Flores and Selah Ellison were chatting in the room when loud noises suddenly erupted from outside. It was coming from the door of the room where the masked woman was.
The voice of the masked woman was as clear as an oriole singing, yet filled with anger: "I want to go out for a walk, I’m going crazy cooped up here. Didn’t they say there are many amusents on this ship?"
The maiden’s voice was firm in persuasion: "My lady, please stay in the room. It’s not safe outside."
The anger of the masked woman beca more apparent: "We’re already at sea, who could possibly harm now? From dawn till dusk, I’m not allowed out. Those who know would say I’m a lady, but those who don’t might think I’m a prisoner you’re escorting!"
The maiden gently soothed: "My lady, please hold on; when we reach the destination, and with the protection of the other side, you won’t have to worry about safety anymore."
Carson Flores and Selah Ellison, holding a watching attitude, had just stepped out of their room, when the door of the masked woman suddenly swung open with a loud crash.
"Bang!"
The masked woman stord out of the room, only to imdiately run into Carson Flores and Selah Ellison, who were stepping out to see the commotion. She froze for a mont, then quickly gathered her angry expression, reverting back to the deanor of a noble lady.
Wow, that change of style was quite quick!
At this mont, the door of the opposite room also opened, and the guard leader Oberon Foster appeared at the door with a stern face.
"My lady, where do you wish to go?"
The masked woman seed sowhat fearful of Oberon Foster, her voice dropped a notch: "Isn’t there supposed to be plenty of places to eat and have fun on this ship? I’m stifling in the room, so I wanted to walk around the ship..."
Oberon Foster said sternly: "My lady, now is not the ti for whims. For the sake of your safety, it’s better to stay in the room. The journey is long, but you can ditate and cultivate in peace; ti will pass quickly."
Not waiting for the masked woman to speak, Oberon Foster glanced over at the door maiden, coldly saying: "Escort the young lady back to her room."
The masked woman stomped her foot in anger, turned around, and walked back into the room. A maiden quickly followed her inside.
Oberon Foster noticed Carson Flores and Selah Ellison watching at the door, turned his head, and a hint of a smile appeared on his typically stern face: "Sorry for disturbing you, Fellow Foster."
Carson Flores smiled and said: "It’s alright, no worries."
Oberon Foster seed to want to leave, hesitated for a mont, then turned back and smiled: "Our lady is going to her husband’s ho to get married."
Going to her husband’s ho to get married?
That’s quite normal, after all, Eastern Radiance and North Sea are separated by the Endless Sea; it wouldn’t be in ti to fetch the bride on the wedding day, so usually, the girl is sent to live near the husband’s ho first, and then gets married according to procedure.
But intentionally telling this, what do you an?
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Carson Flores couldn’t help but curiously ask: "With strong individuals on board, it must be very safe, right? Fellow Foster, don’t be too nervous..."
Oberon Foster looked a bit hesitant, as if he wanted to say sothing, but eventually didn’t speak, just nodding to Carson Flores as a form of gratitude for his reassurance.
Carson Flores and Selah Ellison returned to their room; Selah sighed: "This lady is truly pitiable, being married off to a foreign land alone, with not a single family mber to see her off. She might have to marry alone in the future..."
Carson Flores turned his face to look at the lovely curve of Selah’s chin, smiling: "What’s the matter? Empathizing, feeling sorry for her?"
Selah nodded: "A little bit, though these young ladies from great families seem prestigious and glamorous, most of them are destined from birth—to be used for political marriage for the family’s gain."
Carson Flores nodded: "Indeed."
Selah pondered: "No, it just feels uncomfortable in my heart. I’ll go talk to her later. She looks quite lonely."
"Alright, you go ahead, consider it as passing ti."
"Okay!"
At night, Carson Flores was sleeping when suddenly the cabin shook violently, followed by the screech of demonic beasts.
"A demonic beast attack!"
Carson Flores imdiately climbed out of bed, eyes wide with astonishnt; they really encountered a demonic beast attack?
Swiftly putting on clothes, Carson Flores darted out the door, only to see Oberon Foster erge from the room opposite.
"Boom!"
Another loud crash as sothing slamd against the ship’s protective barrier.
"Passengers of the Ocean King, we have encountered a Sea Demons attack, but please don’t worry too much, we will repel them as soon as possible. Please remain in your cabins and do not venture out!"
Carson Flores jumped up and flew a distance, only to see ahead a giant tentacle erging abruptly from the sea, striking the barrier fiercely.
An octopus?
This octopus has so nerve, daring to actively attack the Ocean King, has it overestimated its appetite?
