An hour later....

Morrigan who just came out of the bathroom was astonished to 'see' what was happening in the room.

Then she asked coldly.

".... What are you doing?"

Hearing Morrigan's question, Olive looked over then chuckled and answered.

"Vufufu~.... As you can see~."

Morrigan was taken aback because she saw Olive currently 'riding' Lepus who was lying on the bed!

Morrigan frowned and walked away intending to leave the room.

However, Olive used her Kyuubi power and then extended her tail and wrapped around Morrigan.

"Don't go~.... Let's serve our husband together~...."

After saying that, Olive then pulled Morrigan who didn't ready onto the bed.

A few hours later....

"Morrigan...."

Lepus subtly called out to Morrigan.

However, Morrigan remained silent and did not answer and remained lying with her back to Lepus and Olive.

Lepus and Olive felt a little awkward.

Morrigan just kept quiet like that was indeed their fault.

Morrigan did have a good first impression of Lepus. That's why when Lepus wanted to free her and take her away, Morrigan didn't refuse. Even so, that doesn't mean Morrigan wants to be Lepus' lover! And even if she wants to, by no means so quickly and without a gradual process in their relationship!

But now, suddenly she was 'dragged' into an intimate relationship! So, it's not surprising that Morrigan is quite angry and unpleasant!

"Morrigan...."

Lepus once again tried to call Morrigan.

And finally Morrisan answered, but coldly.

".... Silent."

So Lepus was silent and did not dare to disturb again.

After a while, Morrigan remained lying with her back, speaking.

".... You already know I'm in prison for assaulting my father and several older brothers. However, you don't know exactly why I did it."

".... Right."

Lepus answered briefly.

Morrigan then continued speaking.

".... I assaulted them because.... They intend to sully me!"

Morrigan then recounted her past with a tone full of anger, hatred, disgust, and other negative feelings.

".... At that time, everyone thought that I was just a weak blind princess. But that's not really.... I was actually born from a concubine which is a former daughter of a fallen merchant. But sadly my mother died when I'm just 3 years old because of complications after childbirth. Especially with my father, the King Ventwill V, never really care about us because of disappointment and displeased of my mother birth a disabled, me, our lives are not really good in the palace.... And worse, after my mother passed away, I was ostracized because of my 'disability' and finally expelled from the palace. At the time, I was cared and raised just by an old couple which is a personal guard and a maid of my mother. Then they brought me to live in the hometown of my late maternal grandmother which is just a small mountain village.... A few years later, when I'm 5 years old, when back from a hunt he also brought home a strange red annona fruit and gave it to me saying that it could gave me strength to protect myself."

Hearing about a strange fruit which could give strength, Lepus and Olive realized something.

"Could it be...."

"Devil fruit?"

Morrigan nodded slightly and then talk again.

".... Yes. Of course at the time I didn't know anything about devil fruits, but the guard told me then. But the guard didn't know what kind of ability which devil fruit will give.... And after I ate it, the ability I got is to produce blood and change into it!"

Hearing that, Lepus and Olive was once again shocked!

"Logia?"

Lepus asked, but Morrigan deny it.

".... No. The guard said it was a very rare-type called Special Paramecia and he also told me about their uniqueness. And the fruit name is Beni Beni no Mi (Crimson Crimson Fruit)."

"Special Paramecia!?"

".... Yes. When I asked him how did he know about that, he said that even though he didn't know that devil fruit shape or appearance, it didn't mean that he never heard about it ability. He heard it from an old friend."

Hearing that,Lepus frowned then asked.

"From an old friend? Did he ever told you about his past?"

".... A little. Once he said he was part of a great crew but he didn't want to talk much about it."

Lepus frowned even more.

He is strongly suspect that old guard was part of Rocks Pirates or at least knew someone from that crew! Because of a few facts which is Charlotte Katakuri's devil fruit, Mochi Mochi no Mi, is a Special Paramecia! And Katakuri's mother, Charlotte Linlin, was a former crew of Rocks Pirates, so it won't be strange if Linlin still have few contacts or interactions with other alive former members after they were disbanded!

"What's that guard name?"..

".... That's... I don't really know. We used to just call him Shield-san or Grandpa Shield. He never wants to tell me his true name because he said it's just a piece of forgotten past and it doesn't really matter."

"Shield? Hmm...."

Lepus frowned even deeper.
