Journey of a Prince in a magical world

Chapter 3: High sea bullies

Aquoris city port (Minato P.O.V.)

After eating breakfast we headed to the port to wait for a boat to take us to the temple island, apparently there are a lot of normal people that go there in order to either pray, meditate or just go sight seeing, so we'll be taking a boat with some other travelers, and pay for traveling back and forth, I'd rather just sneak in or steal a small ship for us, but with miss goody two shoes paladin here I'll have to stay in line.

We've been waiting for so long I'm already considering sleeping inside a cargo barrel for a free trip, and I don't know how the others are holding up still, especially Morgan, who's been talking about her father's amazing tactical skills and how she wishes to be just like him and I kinda feel bad for not paying attention but I'm glad to know not every father-child relation is as bad as mine.

But just as I'm thinking of something to rub off my laziness a guy with straight silver hair with a light green feathered hat and matching bard attire approaches us with a lyre in hands and, although he tries to hide I can notice a tint of desperation on his face.

Silver haired bard: Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice the way you are dressed, are you mayhaps fighters?

Minato: Sorta, why d'ya ask?

Silver haired Bard: You see, I'm in quite an undesired predicament  and I like to enlist the help of someone stronger then me in order to be able to live another day safely.

Minato: Your name and why you need or help, you got 20 seconds to explain or we're leaving you to your own luck.

Hinaki: M-My name is Hinaki Nanaya and my friend has been captured by pirates.

Minato: See? Speaking normally ain't hard. Now-

Aegis: Now I advise you look for soldiers in the city gates or the pub, we need to board the next ship.

Minato: Shut up you horseback banana head shorty! Just take us to where they are and hopefully they're still on land.

Aegis: What did you call me you punk?! Besides we don't have time to waste on every single person who ask for us, especially now!

Minato: And who else you think would bother to listen to someone that speaks like him?

Morgan: Minato is right Aegis, we can't leave him hoping now.

Aegis: Princess? Truly you jest right now!

Morgan: Hinaki, hurry up and take us to where the pirates are! We got no time to lose!

Hinaki: Ok, right this way, they are still near!

After saying that he sprints towards a far end of the port where a ship, presumedly the pirates', is and we quickly follow him except for Aegis who stays still for a few seconds before giving in and following the rest.

As we reach the ship we quickly board it seeing a few dozen pirates and a oddly familiar looking guy grabbing a girl with big puffy tied hair in a twin tail style wearing a black dress with white linings and matching black high heels with a disgusted yet scared face.

Girl: Let me go you disgusting pig!

Familiar looking man: Why would I let a pretty one like you ran away? I didn't have any luck yesterday because of that blue haired kid but now my luck seems to be turning around, this is going to be one fun trip, GYAHAHAHAHA!

Hinaki: Azerin! Let her go you fiend!

Familiar looking man: Huh? You again? I see you brought some friends peepsqueak, but that other one with the bow hot footed and abandoned you, you kids don't stand a chance, run while you can!
