Amity: The Peaceful

Chapter 10

Two knights are protecting the sailing master who was trying his best, maneuvering the ship to get away from being pressed by the brigantines by their sides, he's trying his best to get away, at least to protect their ruler who is currently fighting some bandits from the sea.

"Can you do it!?" the master gunner asked after firing his pistol towards the approaching pirates on the deck.

"I am trying." the sailing master answered, he tightly closed his eyes after he heard some sounds that damaged their ship.

The master gunner clenched his jaw when he saw that there were numerous pirates jumping on their ship, most of them now in the forecastle deck.

Adeodatus inhaled before pulling a rope using his left hand, he tested the rope if it is tied tightly, he ran and used the rope as a swing to lift himself before slicing the pirates on their neck. He didn't mind the heavy rain and dark sky, he let the rain wet his expensive uniform as well as his badges. He didn't even think about wearing his battle armor inside his cabin.

He ran and lifted himself again, higher than his first attempt this time, he cut the ropes and watched as the other pirates were eaten by the sea.

After landing on the ship successfully, he started to fight the sea bandits using his cutlass, slicing through their limbs, some lost their hands, arms and most lost their heads. His cutlass' blade is really sharp.

Some drops of blood were scattered on his left cheek after he pierced through the heart of one of the pirates on board. He watched the helpless man, eyes wide open as he dropped on the ship's floor.

He held his sword and moved it, planning to cut the man's head, he raised it and was about to sway it when someone kick his back from behind, he groaned when his knees fell on the floor, he gripped the cutlass' handle once again and immediately stood even though his back and feet were hurting,

He turned his head and saw a brunette woman, wearing a brown revealing cloth standing proudly while holding a sabre. He rolled when he saw the girl move, attempting to cut his head using the sabre, "By your suit I guess you're their headmaster!"

He smirked, so the girl thought that he was just a small fry with a title.

"You are not right, lady. I am the emperor." he announced, and that made the woman's eyes grow wider.

The woman showed a lopsided smile, "Gues, we'll be catching the biggest fish today."

Ade raised his eyebrows after hearing the girl's remarks, he admired the confidence of the girl, too bad she is considered a criminal, "That... If you can, you will." he challenged.

He moved his wrist to fully control his sword, he swayed it upward before aiming for the girl's legs.

The girl shouted in pain after the deep cut she failed to dodge.

Ade smirked as she watched the amount of blood flowing from the girl's legs, he stood in front of the whining woman, "You're pretty, too bad you're a criminal. I never killed a woman with my own hands before, and I am honored to kill one today." he stated and lifted the cutlass, preparing to behead the woman in front of him.

But before he can even swing it, the woman kicked him using her other leg, Ade flinched and dropped on the wooden floor after he felt the excruciating pain from his knee.

He glared at the woman and picked his cutlass up to cut the lady's feet but after his first lift a different sword intervened on his attempt. He cussed when he fell on the fall once again after he tried to stand, "Help the quartermaster!" someone shouted.

He groaned and tried his best to stand but failed when a rope surrounded his upper body, "Shit!" He moved his jaw after seeing someone kick his cutlass away from his grip.

"Shit! This royalty did me good!" the woman said after being lifted by a good-looking man, who was wearing a dark coat.

"I get no thanks then, Sayyida?"

"Bastard! Just do your job, bring that man to Horace, Loverne."

"Sure." the man said in a playful tone.

"Fuck, you should let me go, better not to piss me off and I will spare your life." Ade spouted after he felt the rope, tightening around his body.

He glared at the boy who picked his sword suddenly, who does he think he is? And even before he could scold him, the guy ran immediately away from them.

Loverne taps the rope after tying the injured emperor in front of him, "Nah, stay still and meet our boss, your imperial majesty. Make negotiations with him then, just a warning, he can't be bribed, so good luck."
