Dylan leaves the room, and after a while, the three get into it.
When he was out of sight, Luther looked at Sinas and immediately gets straight to the point and asks, “I know Arwin’s really alive, and you do too. I also know Arwin’s boarded the ship, and I have a good guess who she is.”
Simon and Sinas kept quiet for a while as if pondering what he was talking about. Sinas has a more calm expression while Simon was frowning as if he did not know if what he heard was right or wrong.
It took a while for him to finally speak up.
“I’m sorry, but did you just say she? Is Captain Arwin… a girl?” Simon asks in confusion. In his mind, it was something that was hard to believe at all. A captain for the a notorious Night Rose pirates was a girl all along?
It was like the reaction was expected thus, Luther did not respond to him and just simply continues looking directly at Sinas and sai
Sinas then removes his sleeves, showing a mark on his arms with a light glowing inside of it. Sinas continues, “Nexus built a wire, and I hate to break it to you, but I’m already Arwin’s ticking bomb. She beat you to it.”“So what if you’re wearing a wire? No one else would hear it apart of Arwin-“ Pi starts but then she is cut off as the crewmembers start to surround outside. Pi nervously asks, “What’s happening?”“Oh, did I forget?” Sinas says, “We were building two mechanisms. A wire to get your confession made by the daughter of yours truly, Nexus, and the other is made by Gloin, and it’s what you call a speaker.”“Boom.” Sinas mocks them with a smirk, “That’s how we got you.”Fearful and nervous, the two comes out of the lab and see that everyone is surrounding them. Luther and Pi see Timothy standing over the ledge with Rosa and th
Arwin shifts her gaze at Taflen, and Taflen is in tears. No one is more proud of her than Taflen for finally shedding her layers and reclaiming Night Rose as her true self.She is indeed home.Arwin genuinely smiles as she raises her sword victorious, and everyone cheers for her.Meanwhile, Luther is on the ground, and he refuses to accept his defeat, he sees Nexus standing among the crowd, and he mutters to himself, “It was that girl. If it wasn’t for her, Arwin wouldn’t have known about Night Rose.”His head fills up with an uncontrollable rage and overpowering feeling of envy. Luther picks up his sword and swings it toward Nexus. Taflen is too far away to save his daughter, and Nexus didn’t see or expect it to happen.Everything is happening too fast.Too fast for anyone to do anything, Nexus closes her eyes to brace for the impact as Taflen shouts, feeling his heart stop at that moment. He can’t take i
Arwin woke up, with a complicated feeling. There were times where she had recalled her past life, well, mostly the time that she had decided to retire.Nah, don’t think so much, Arwin thought to herself and then shook her head. It was not like she was in a bad situation now, but there were times that she really did miss a part of the adventure.And that’s fine, Arwin consoled herself silently. She then looked outside her window.It was still early, and the sun was shining along that beautiful lake. This was a majestic routine that she had carried for the last three years.See, it’s not so bad, Arwin thought to herself while looking at the amazing morning view.Her life was different this time. Everyone knew the farmer, the woman who had taken it upon herself to lift a farm in that place.No one knew about her shady, famous, and action-packed past. Arwin was perfectly fine with that, as this was what she ho
All things were just the usual. They often collected the eggs from the chicken coop, then got milk from the cows and watched over the pigs.Arwin worked in the orchard while Nico distributed the morning milk throughout the town.They did their work without fail while Arwin looked at everything peacefully and with satisfaction.Just then, while Arwin was working, a man in a carriage stopped outside the fence of his property.His chauffeur dressed in blue shone with the number of diamonds that his outfit had while a hand came out of the small door of the carriage knocking on the door.The driver was quickly getting out to open the door when from the carriage, a pompous man with a huge gold medal on his chest.“Nagel! Please remember your duties!” The man said arrogantly. His voice was so loud that Arwin could hear it from where she was.The driver lowered his head, and then he stepped back. He said apologetically, “Sor
When he entered, a woman approached to offer him a plate of food. He saw her and said happily, “Mrs. Agatha, you look lovely!”She smiled and brushed a piece of lint from Nico’s suit, said, “You also fixed up very well, darling! I bet you want to see the birthday girl!”Nico’s eyes lit up, there was nothing he wanted to see more than Emily, and when Agatha, the girl’s mother, pointed in the direction of the stairs, he saw her go down.Professor Christopher’s mansion was very large, in the wolf easily forty people could be without problems, and that day, those forty people were speechless when they saw the young girl come down.Her blonde hair fell wavy behind her head, and her pink dress showed the body of a girl who would soon be a woman smiling.Everyone applauded when she came down the path, waving to everyone until she was in front of Nico, who, with a very wide mouth open, muttered brightly, &ldq
Bartholomew smiled when he heard that. He then said, “That was just my other question… We know that the dear professor has a daughter and a gallant wife. You are the wife and daughter. Where is he?”Nico and Emily, who were watching everything from outside, felt a cold fear when they mentioned the girl’s name.They both saw everyone, and Agatha instinctively looked towards the back door.Of course, the experience Bartholomew noticed that small gesture immediately. It was the sign he was waiting for. He said brightly, “Jhonny, use your useless ass and bring me the girl... Alive!”Jhonny nodded, and with two men at his back, the man walked towards the back door.Nico automatically took Emily by the hand and ran towards the back wall of the patio.“We have to go, Emily!” He said with unmasked fright.The terrified girl let him guide her. She could not help but look towards the house. She a
He and Emily saw the interior of the room, and there was blood everywhere. Nico was sop worried, especially when he saw that in Arwin’s dress, everywhere was full of blood just like her hands and in it.Nico also saw a sword. On the sofa, a completely unconscious man reigned with his pants full of blood.“What are you doing, boss?” Nico asked with unmasked fear and confusion.Arwin looked at the scene with a complicated expression. She took a heavy breath and replied, “It’s not what it looks like, ok? He came wounded. I healed him!”The boy looked at the soldier’s abdomen, and he had a fresh bandage on.Looking at Arwin for a second, he smiled when the problem they brought came back to his mind instantly.“Boss! There are some men attacking Professor Christopher’s house, and they want to take Emily. They have her mom!”Arwin, without getting upset, looked at the man on the so
The young man from the sofa snorted. But that seemed to have aggravated his injury as he suddenly groaned from the pain.With a bitter smile, he then said, “Of course, he knows me, and his partner was the one who stabbed me… I managed to escape for very little. What are they doing here? Did you follow me?” He then looked at the others with unmasked curiosity.It was like he was talking to a normal friend.Perhaps he got his guard down around them cause Arwin was there, and she saved him. So he was mostly looking at Arwin.At that moment, Nico stepped forward, closer to him, with Emily by the hand.He looked at Luca with unmasked guilt, and then he said, “They followed us!”Luca had a thoughtful expression before his gaze shifted towards Emily. He clearly found her familiar as he asked, “Is Professor Christopher by any chance your father?”The young woman nodded, she then started sniffing befo
