Aftermath

Next day -

The pirates emerged from the fort, looking out at the aftermath of the storm....

The ground was littered with debris and fallen trees, and the sea was still choppy, with waves crashing violently against the shore. But the pirates were relieved to have survived the fierce storm, grateful to be alive to see another day....

Although most of their food was spoiled,

but they still had enough food to last them a few days....

...

Kann had never been fond of storms, but the one that raged last night was unlike any she had experienced before....

Lightning flashed across the sky, thunder shook the ground, and rain battered against the windows of the prince's chamber...

As she lay in bed, trying to calm her racing heart, she found herself instinctively clinging to the prince's arm....

but she had not expected to find herself so frightened....

"can i go now" The prince's face was flushed red...

Kann's heart skipped a beat as she realized that she had spent the whole night.

She quickly released her grip, feeling embarrassed and unsure of what to do next.

As she sat up in bed, she noticed that the prince's arm had gone numb from her weight. She rubbed it gently, hoping to restore circulation. He looked so peaceful, so vulnerable, that Kann felt a pang of tenderness....

"Umm...are you still sleepy?"

Hearing his voice, kann woke up in fear and realized that she had slept with prince the whole night, how could this happen? But the very next moment her face turned red with a little blushing and she nodded her head in agreement, not knowing what to say to him at this moment...

after all she had spent a night with him, Granted, that she likes him but who knows what Prince thinks about her? And she spent the whole night with prince. though she was scared the whole time but still...

"maybe i should go" Prince went out of the room saying this, he was thinking "damm... am I really a man? Who is shying like this? But what would kann be thinking? Guess I have to impress her or else she'll fall in love with someone else..." he murmured

...

Kann was lost in her thoughts...

She forgot about time...

It was only when she heard a knock at the door that she realized how late it was....

She quickly got out of bed, straightened her dress, and opened the door to find a maid waiting outside....

She was one of the Prince's three personal maids, who had now become Kann's personal maid as well...

Prince used to take good care of them, even being among pirates, they did not face any problem....

...

"Good morning, miss," the maid said with a polite bow.

"Sir asked me to inform you that breakfast is ready in the dining hall."

Kann nodded, feeling a sudden pang of hunger....

She followed the servant down the hallway, trying to shake off the drowsiness that still clung to her.

When she arrived at the dining hall, she found the prince already seated at the table. He looked up as she entered, his eyes lighting up with a warm smile....

"Good morning, Kann,"

he said. "Did you sleep well?"

Kann felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment as she sat down opposite him....

"I'm sorry ," she said. "I didn't mean to...cling to you like that."

prince chuckled, waving a hand dismissively. "It's alright," he said. "I didn't mind."

After a while in the training ground-

All the pirates and commanders had gathered there because they didn't know what to do next...

The decision would be taken by the prince according to the damage done in the night....

After all he was their leader and captain..

...

"My dear crewmates, I know we suffered a lot last night, but does that mean we should just sit and wait for Death ?"

Prince shouted to his crewmates...

""No, captain""

"That's right, Right now we have not enough food, that's why we have to get enough food for ourselves, That's why I decided to buy food from one of the islands outside"

Prince paused for a moment so that everyone could digest ...

"But captain why can't we hunt animals on this Island? " one of the pirates asked...

"Ohh...This is a good idea but tell me one thing, what will you do with all the treasures we have? If we don't do anything with it then what is the use of looting it? Will you take the treasure with you when you die? "

Everyone became silent after hearing these words of the prince and started thinking the same as him...

"tell me one thing? Why did you join Dark Pirates? I will tell you, it's because all of you wanted the welfare of the common people and not to loot them....We wish destruction of bad people and happiness of good people"

"If we kill innocent animals who have spent the last night with great difficulty thinking that the next day will be better, And that garbage which everyone calls treasure will be kept here, which could be useful for common people, then what will be the difference between us and other pirates? "

"We cannot give this treasure to anyone just like that, so we will spend it as much as possible so that they can get money in return for their hard work. "

"did everyone understand me?"

After saying all this, prince became calm. He waited for a while as everyone was lost in thought..

After a while a voice echoed in the atmosphere...

""Yes, captain""

"ok, now prepare the ship and take half the treasure with you to buy the food and other essential items "

Saying this the prince went back to his room....

As soon as he left, everyone started preparing to leave....

Some went to the treasure room to collect the treasure, some started preparing the ship and the rest continued their training...
