Princesses of the Oceans *On HOLD*

Chapter 4

Aricia's P.O.V.

Crank! The door opened of my cabin and Chris came.

"Why you're up at this late?"

"Nothing, just Eduardo called me for help."

I chuckled at my thoughts, "That means Eduardo did something and Cleo chopped him somewhere. And then, he called for help! Eventually, you didn't reach there at time, so Cleo bandaged him up!"

He looked a little astonished.

"A captain must know about the behaviour of his or her crew members!" I said in a know-it-all tone.

He chuckled and then went to sleep at the separate bed which I made for him.

Suddenly, Ria's voice ringed in my head.

"Cap', do you think all things will went smoothly tomorrow as we planned today before their entry at our ship?"

"I don't suppose but, we have to do something!"

"What should we do?!"

"Call a meeting through telepathy!"

"Sure! Just wait a minute!"

I waited eagerly and turned around to find the cabin wall. We don't want our pasts exposed to Morgan and his crew. And, tomorrow there's a big chance of it. And, Zaria's past is at stake.

"Cap' all set!" Came the voice of Ria.

"Hello, captain!" Cleo's voice.

"Hey, cap'!" Zaria's voice.

"H'ya, cap'!" Anna said.

"Hi, captain!" Armelle said.

"Cap, here I am!" Ina said.

"Girls, we have an important meeting tonight about Zaria's past!"

"Yeah! My past." Zaria said monotonely.

"You all know that tomorrow Kyan has called all of us in Zaria's mother, Mrs. Izellah's funeral." I said feeling sad.

"I don't want them to do something reckless at my mother's funeral, guys!" Zaria's voice contained sort of anger and sadness.

"How about we make them busy in some sort of work and then sneak out to Zaria's palace?" Cleo suggested.

"A good one! But how will we make them busy?" I said considering.

"What if we get them to do our daily works at ship?" Ina said.

"We will get Eduardo to navigate, Nathan to cook, Chris to take care of herbs and other things, Morgan to check on them, Thomas to assist Nathan and Russell to clean the deck." Anna said.

"But, the big question is what excuse we'll make?"

"How about an important mission?"

"I suppose we should consider another option than this." I said in a deadly serious tone.

"We all can't go there, it will make them suspicious!" Ria pointed.

"Then what to do?!" Ina asked.

"We are total seven! 4 of us including Zaria will head to her palace while rest of us will be at ship trying to not make them suspicious!" I said.

"I agree!"

"Now, we just need an excuse to go!"

"How if we tell them that we are heading to get some supplies to set sail to a very far place!" Ina suggested.

"Let's get to Egypt!" Cleo said.

"Okay, then we will say to them that we are heading to get some supplies to set sail to Egypt. Then, me, Zaria, Ria and Armelle will head to her palace. And, the rest will let our secret kept!" I ordered.

"So, that's set then, I'm going for a goodnight sleep!" Zaria said.

"Sweet dreams, my crew!" And so disconeccted myself from them and went to a deep slumber.
