The Vigilant Prince

Pirate Circle

Pirate Circle

  Most Pirates had this rule Never bring your date home.

'No boy or woman [ shall] be allowed amongst them. If any man shall be found seducing one of the latter sex and carrying her to the sea in disguise , he shall suffer death. ' but in their circle, that rule doesn't exist.  You shall be married by the time you age thirty and shall have produced a kid or else you will be a laughing stack to them. In all pirate rules, they are the different one , they defy the rules of the old pirates and create their own rules, however, this circle is more dangerous than those normal pirates.

For they do not listen to the actual and standard rules , their life is more in constant danger than others. Constant fighting, greed, envy , betrayal and revenge had been there for a very long time. You will be surprised how they can stand with each other and endure each other's presence.

The ship was in the shore, among other ships and the pirates with their date's and flexing  their riches to other people. They step out of the ship, Eren infront of her and Armin is beside her.

"What do you do in here?"

"Oh, you know,Illicit things."  He shrugged, as if he didn't say something bad and everything he just said wouldn't put him in the mouth of danger. "Anyway, this is the circle. You have seen all of those , this people are all great pirates of the sea. "

" Aye, Eren your here!" One pirate said , a patch is on the left  side of his eye. " I see you bring a date, wanted to secure your position! I see. "

" Valtore! " He coldly spoke the name , the man named as Valtore grinned at him and patted his shoulders. " Aye, you've grown too fast and Armin-- ohh a pretty lady!!"

The old man went towards her direction and kissed her palm. "I see, you are his date. What a shame. If I found you earlier, I would have gotten you. "

She opened her mouth to say something but close it again because she doesn't really have anything to say. Armin patted her shoulders. " Don't worry, he is just joking, he didn't mean to say that he wants you."

" Oh, is that so? Ofcourse, I know that." She said nervously.

" Armin." Eren called him, his cold eyes were sending a signal to him in which he understand and he nodded, Mikasa was looking at them again, clueless of what's happening. " Do it!"

Armin let out a sly grin and swiftly move away from her,  leaving the two of them here and look at each other. He look lost  , for some reason that is what she is seeing on his expression , as if something is bothering him and something won't be good. She forced herself to look away from him, for it felt like his eyes were absorbing her.

"Damn.." he spoke, very lowly, if they were not alone and it's not queit around here, she probably wouldn't hear him  mutter those words. His voice, it's deep and low , but his voice is beautiful like you would want to hear him sing a song accompanied by a string instrument.

"Well, it seems like the Vigilant Conqueror had a big problem. " Her voice is soft, surprisingly . It's calm, unlike their first met when she shouted at him or in other occasions when she spoke with venom in her voice.

"Would it hurt you to shut up for a minute or I'll just put a cloth in that mouth of yours."

" Oh, I'm scared twinkle toes."

" Twinkle toes!?"

" I can't sense your presence, you have a light footsteps, surprisingly. That is probably the reason why your enemies couldn't even put up a fight with you." Her brows creased together. " I would like you to teach me that."

"For what?"

" Wouldn't it he a pleasure to die in my hands?" She spoke in such a soft voice, soothing and calming , like a waterfall, the way she look at him was soft, something he never knew she could naturally do because she always look at him with such burning hatred.

"To think that you want to learn from your enemy."  He drank his red wine from his copita, earning a smirk from her.

"Didn't we promise that we will kill each other?" She said with a grin, she's really insane, she enjoy talking to her enemy as if she is on a banquet and talking to other nobles.

"Your insane."

"...and I know that very well." She grinned again, holding an alcohol drink in her hands and making a circular motion on it.

Armin smiled towards the other pirates , talking to them,listening  to them and his sharp blue eyes is observing everything , every shallow movements and listening to every words coming out of their mouth.

"Mr. Arlert, Mr. Arlert." That voice called him, let look towards the direction of the person who called him. He instantly smiled,
"You've grown a lot."

"It's a pleasure to see you again, sir Pixis."

" It's nice to see you again too, Arlert."

Armin is a known name to their group, famous and also a second rank  before Eren Yeager. A highly skilled person and a good manipulator. Armin smiled towards the older man, bowing his head to show some respect.

"It's been a while, sir Pixis, you look younger this year."

" Oh is that so?" The older man give a sly grin." I had been bathing on the spring water and also having lots of care from the goddesses. "

" Your goddess doesn't exist old man." Armin laugh at him.
