Amity: The Peaceful

Chapter 12

After their staring contest Horace signaled one of his men to bring Adeodatus to his cabin.

The two crew members took a surprised glance at each other. But their gaze went to Sayyida when they heard the familiar footsteps going down from the poop deck, her eyelids thinned when he saw one of the crew members dragging the tied and injured emperor towards Horace's cabin.

Sayyida glared at the cabin's door before going down the quarter's deck where Horace was standing while staring at the vast sea, "What's that all about?"

"It's nothing. Focus on your duty. Maneuver their ship and bring them to Afjasire, leave them near the Ship of the Line, and get some men to fix the ships." the man stated with authority, completely closing the curious woman's question.

Sayyida, being the obedient quartermaster of the captain, sighed and obliged, "Sure." she answered in a pissed manner and walked away.

Meanwhile, inside the captain's cabin, there are three crew members who were undressing the clueless and injured emperor while sitting on one of the wooden chairs inside the room, Ade didn't complain and observed the tense and terrified members quietly, he didn't bother to speak since he knew that the people are going to clean him, which is good since he's sweaty, dirty and full of small cuts and bruises. He's hoping that the servants will notice his unusual posture so they can hand him some medicines or anything that could help his aching knee.

The two girls are busy wiping his feet using a small wet towel, while the other guy is busy arranging the things the two are using to bathe him, "You know, I can bathe myself, if you untie me." he said suddenly, trying to find any chance by convincing the pirates.

But the three didn't answer, they just glanced at each other and exchange a knowing look, they were told to bath the emperor without untying him, and even if they weren't told to, they won't still untie him, they heard news, a lot of bad news about the cruel emperor, this man can kill them in a minute if he happen to be free. And besides, they do not want to disappoint their captain, Horatius. They are all grateful for the man, and they are all in debt for their whole life for that person. And following the orders correctly is their way to show their gratitude to him.

The pirates flinched when they heard a long sigh from the tied emperor they were serving.

Ade observed them for another minute and when he realized that he couldn't use them he looked away and observed the whole cabin instead.

He needs to find his sword, a map or anything useful that can help him to escape... or to kill.

The cabin looks like the usual captain's cabin, lots of chest boxes, cabinets, and other stuff but this one look... simple, for a captain's cabin. He expects it to have lots of treasures, like gold and more.

He brushed away that random thought and thought again. He was thankful that the masked man didn't put him in a cell or make him sleep on a hammock beside the other pirates, his presence and title doesn't suit that place anyway.

In the captain's cabin like a caged princess but I am a sex slave. He thought, still grateful despite being a... you know. Now, he just wishes to escape or for Horace to be good in bed, at least aiming to taste heaven before killing the man and everyone in the ship.
