Chapter 42 - Jealousy

By the end of the night Lillianna was the last one up honestly reminiscing about the old days.

"God your mother was so angry at us," Lillianna chuckled.

"Yet you somehow manged to talk your way out of it," Himmat said making them both chuckle. After a bit of silence Lillianna slapped her thighs.

"Well it's time I get to bed. Thankyou for the lovely meal," Lillianna stood only for Himmat to stand as well and offer his arm. 

"It is only proper I guild you back," he said. Lillianna nodded taking his arm respectfully just as court rules dictated and let him lead her away. When they got to the hut they stopped.

"Well this is my stop. Thankyou again Himmat," Lillianna said pulling back and giving him a respectable curtsy. When she rose she let out a slightly surprised chuckle as Himmat stepped really close dragging his figures down her hair.

"Uh what are you?" before he could answer he pulled a twig from her hair.

"Oh, thankyou," she said stepping back.

"Until tomorrow," he said with a polite bow and walking off. Lillianna huffed before walking into the hut seeing Jacob by the window. The window that looked out to the front of the hut. 

"That's a murderous look. You alright?" Lillianna asked plonking down on the bed and taking off her boots.

"Im fine," he said begrudgingly. Lillianna nodded knowing he wasn't telling the truth. Yet she had other things on her mind. She placed her hands on her stomach taking a deep breath. She was gonna tell him.

"Jacob I've got something to tell you," Lillianna said standing to face him.

"What? You gonna marry him?" he asked.

"What?" Lillianna asked in disbelief. 

"I asked if your gonna marry him and become empress?" he asked folding his arms over his chest and facing her. Lillianna dropped her hand propping her eyebrow.

"Where is this coming from?" Lillianna asked.

"Well you didn't disagree when he said it," Jacob said simply.

"Your joking right?' Lillianna was sure he was. After all his words were absurd.

"Oh I'm serious, after all he's a prince. A bit more in your league don't you think?" he asked. Lillianna's jaw dropped.

"You really think I would leave you for a prince?" she asked her voice cracking slightly. Jacob instantly regretted his words. 

"Look I just didn't like all that to much ok," he huffed. Then it clicked. He was jealous. 

"It doesn't matter is you don't like it. You don't say shit like that," Lillianna huffed her own emotions growing and not the pleasant kind.

"He was all over you," he said.

"I know, did you not see me moving away any chance I got?" Lillianna asked. "Lets not forget that he has us completely surrounded, we have no weapon's, our ship is locked in the bay. Do you thinks it's wise to make him angry?" Lillianna whispered the last part. After all that was the only reason why she was putting up with his constant flirts. 

"Still you could have told me you were engaged," he said.

"I did," she snapped.

"I mean before. How many finances did you have?" he asked.

"I was the only daughter of a rich royal family. How many do you think I had?" Lillianna asked placing her hands on her hips.

"Do our vows mean nothing? I love you and only you. I don't care about riches or titles, I chose you. And I'm not about to change my mind with every man that comes along and flirts with me," Lillianna ranted. 

"I know, I'm just angry alright," he snapped back.

"Well then go be angry somewhere else. I'm not gonna sit here and watch another one of your childlike tantrums," Lillianna waved to the door.

"Fine! I'll go," he said before storming out.

"Good!" Lillianna yelled before slamming the door closed. Huffing in anger she ranted under her breath as she walked over to the bed cursing the stubbornness of men.

"Captains in the dog house," Old nick said in a sing song voice as Jacob walked into the shared room fo the crew.

"Trouble in paradise?" Sharp asked peeking out from underneath her hat.

"He was all over her," Jacob grumbled.

"And she was uncomfortable. We could all see that," Sharp said simply only making Jacob feel worse.

"Look don't fuck up because of your insecurities. She loves you, flaws and all," Sharp said simply before rolling over. 

"I know, god I fucked up," he whispered.

"Yep," Sharp said popping the p. 

The next morning Lillianna woke up rather cold. Her hand searched the bed beside her to find it empty. Opening her eyes she sighed before getting up. She had breakfast and then walked outside to blink in shock. Elephants lined the streets.

"Ah good morning, Are we ready to go!?" The prince called from atop one. 

"Come on mum!" Maisie called form beside the prince. Chuckling she climbed up the rope sitting behind Maisie to hold her steady. The rest of the crew mounted the others and off they went to the palace. It was a warm welcome the people throwing flowers as they passed by the streets and gates to the beautiful palace. Maisie was in aww of the place pointing out the new and exciting things. 

Out the front of the palace was the emperor finely dressed in silks and gems, to his left his many wives lined up and to his right his many children. 

"Welcome my dear, we are truly blessed by the gods to see you again," The emperor walked forward taking Lillianna hand kissing it and then pressing it to his forehead.

"It must have been so scary for you in the grip of those ruffian," the empress was a kind woman more of a mother to Lillianna then her own. She when she pulled Lillianna for a hug she hugged back. 

"Actually mother it seems we were lead astray by my dear cousin. She was not in fact taken she actually chose to go with them. Even got married to one," the rulers seemed disappointed with that last piece of news.

"Oh poor thing. Married to a hunter. It must be so hard for you," the empress said patting her hand. Lillianna held back a bitter response.

"I love him very much Your majesties and I am very happy," she said.

"If you insist. And who is this little cherub?" the empress asked bending over to Maisie slightly.

"This is Maisie my daughter," Lillianna introduced her with a proud smile.

"Adopted?" The emperor asked.

"My daughter," Lillianna repeated. 

"Oh come now. The festivities tonight will be amazing. Come you will get dressed with me. Son see to it the other uh, guest are seen to. And by the gods see if you can get them into some better cloths," The empress said quickly latching the two girls in her arms before rushing inside. Jacob was about to protest but the prince stepped up to him blocking him off.

"I wouldn't try and get in the way of my mother. She sees Lillianna as a daughter you see. Let them catch up," he said giving Jacob a pat on the shoulder before leading them away.
