She was satisfied seeing Taflen happy and with a family. Thinking about it carefully, Arwin didn't want to drag Taflen into that mess again. She couldn’t. Especially when the incident happened.
Taflen was living his second life in peace. She was not that selfish to take that away from him.
The three of them shared a meal together.
The table is decorated with cotton linen with a pirate pattern making Arwin chuckle. She muttered under her breath, “Still tacky as always.”
“Dig in!” Nexus happily stated.
They all ate together with the tuna casserole Taflen made earlier that day. Everything about seeing an old friend made Arwin nostalgic. She saw Taflen eating and laughing with his daughter, and Arwin realized the one thing she will never have.
It’s this.
Unlike Taflen, she can never settle down.
It's her burden- a character flaw, if you will. Arwin cannot be tied down because no matter

John and Gloin couldn’t risk their identities since they’re clearly at a disadvantage.Given Gloin’s juggernaut, it still would not outstand the technologies they have seen there. Those guns that can shoot lightning or those tanks could kill them immediately.They were simply outnumbered and out-powered. Right now, their priority was to wait and stay there until Mark regains consciousness.Gloin reminded John, who was already on his way out, “Don’t forget. We’re mute, okay?”John makes an okay sign with his hand as he proceeds to step outside.John walks toward some abandoned factory near where they were staying. That town has a lot of those facilities like abandoned or unfinished buildings. Gloin says to John the moment they step foot there, he is home.He indeed is.The town has lots of builders like Gloin. They keep building every day just to satisfy their curiosity.John snickers at

They shout from across the room, "There's no running away now, newbie!"Sinas gritted his teeth as he suppressed his annoyance.Soon, they arrive at the main deck of the ship- the one he thrashed from yesterday. The skies were cloudy, and it almost seems like it's going to rain any time.Luther stands before him and then asked, "Did you get a goodnight's sleep?"“Barely.” Sinas replied, “Are you the one I have to kill? Then if I do, will I be the new standing captain?”Luther smirks before he responded, "Funny, but no. You will be fighting our new member. He just came in a couple days earlier than you did. Isn't that very?"“Why are you even looking for Arwin? How are you sure she’s here?” Sinas could not help but ask.Luther hummed in agreement without looking at him, “Hm.”“Why?” Sinas was curious. He wanted to prepare in case something else happen.Luth

“You’re joining Night Rose to find some cure, right?” Dylan asked with a knowing smile while looking at Sinas with disdain. He then added, “Then I can just tell everyone here that the truth.”Sinas did not say anything. Instead, he strikes Dylan to the head in hopes of shutting him up when suddenly, Dylan grabs Sinas' hand mid-air.He then head-butts Sinas that caused him to fell to the ground.Both their head was bleeding now, and Sinas was too far away from Dylan.Dylan stumbled but kept his feet planted on the ground. He was dizzy, and his gaze was spinning like crazy, but he still managed to smirk. It was like he knew that he still has the upper hand.Seeing him like this, Sinas felt suspicious, like something bad was going to happen.However, in Dylan's mind, if he fell here and now, he would take Sinas with him at least.Dylan knows that if he tells everyone the truth, the captain they were looking

Sinas gritted his teeth. His heart was still beating so hard, not only to Luther's sudden attack but also the way he was acting.Lunatic, that was the only word that Silas could describe Luther at that moment.Who in their right might would hurt themselves just for the fun of it? If Luther was trying to prove something, like he could Silas whenever he wanted to, he was well convincing. Silas resisted the urge to glare at the man in contempt. All he could do was go to the nearest chair and then sits down against his will."I knew it. You heard our conversation, and you killed Dylan because he was about to expose Arwin's death," Sinas said expressionlessly. However, his entire being was in turmoil. He was not sure if Luther was just trapping him or what.Then his body stiffened as if realization. His eyes bulged in disbelief as he mutters softly, “You… didn't want the crew to know her death too.” Sinas was not

"Taflen was Arwin's right-hand man back then, and he left the crew after falling in love with some woman back at the village," the prisoner responded in a whisper. He even moved closer towards Silas, making sure that he was able to hear him.Sinas frowned. A pirate that fell in love?It was not something new for anyone to give up their previous life to be with the one they love, but that still sounds like something new when related to the Nightrose crew.Sinas mind was still working on the information that he had when another prisoner spoke.“That’s not all I heard,” the prisoner said seriously. His eyes were staring at Silas keenly as if trying to be mysterious.When Silas heard this, he got interested immediately. "Tell me more,” He demanded seriously while looking at the prisoner intently.But the prisoner smirked before he extends his hands. The prisoner was asking for more chocolate."I don't kiss and tell

Sinas walked past Luther expressionlessly. However, in reality, his heart was beating so fast. Despite the approval of the other Nightrose crewmembers, Luther was still the man in charge.If Luther got crazy and believe that Sinas was a threat, either he plots a plan to dispose of him silently or just mainly kill him like how he did effortlessly with Dylan.Sinas already passed by him when Luther snorted and then said to him coldly, “You tried to dig some dirt on me. That's quite bold of you, Sinas. It's your day one, and you're already up and about.”After turning around, Sinas realized that Luther was not even looking at him. Sinas mocks him by feigning ignorance, just as Luther did earlier.“I didn't. The crew didn't seem to see it either. Are you sure you're not paranoid, Luther?” Sinas asked, with arms crossed over his chest.Luther conceals his fury with a malicious smile as he chuckles, “You asked for this

In Taflen house…“Luther? Luther took my place? That kid? Who even voted for him?” Arwin kept asking unhappily. She kept protesting Taflen as if she had heard the most unbelievable joke in her life.Before Taflen could even speak, Arwin continued to ask once more, “How could you let that man run Night Rose? He’s selfish and vile.”Taflen sighs as he sits down on the huge rock outside his house. He was sweating profusely now.Arwin was no longer his captain, but somehow he still felt terrified of Arwin when she was scolding him. Taflen had the urge to laugh, but Arwin would grind him further if she realized she was not being treated seriously."Oy! Taflen! Are you listening to me? Answer me!" Arwin called out with unmasked frustration.Taflen released a heavy sigh before answering, “No one had to. There's no one else eligible apart from him and me."Arwin glared at him.Taflen shrugged

She could hear his voice uttering her name every time. Ultimately, she remembers him and the day they wrote that letter. By just remembering, Arwin felt suffocated. There was a lump on her throat that felt like someone was choking her. Her eyes burned, and she knew that she was about to cry.Arwin refused to cry. There was only a handful of times when she did cry, and it was not something she wanted to do often.This annoying person… Already dead, but still causing me to cry… Arwin could not help but complain to herself.Taflen curiously asks, “What’s the matter? Do you know who wrote it?”“Yes,” She said softly as she nods. Arwin was still holding back her tears, but she was having a hard time doing so.Taflen noticed how she was acting differently, and he got worried. "Who is it?" He asked softly.And with a smile, Arwin replies, “It’s from Mosse. A friend of mine.&rdqu
