The Tyrant Of The Seven Seas☠⚓

Chapter 6

"Aren't you going to rest with me, my lord?", Celestiel asked, seeing that Sebastian was leaving the room again. She didn't want to seem like she wanted to sleep with him but she hadn't once seen him sleep and it worried her a little.

Sebastian smiled at her. "I have work to do. Rest instead"

Celestiel watched the pirate king leave her alone in the room once more. The dinner had been interesting and despite all she thought of Sebastian, she didn't fear him...atleast she didn't think she did.

She sighed and began taking off her clothes to have her bath.

                    ⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓

           In the room beneath the helm of  The Sweet Lilian, Sebastian's private study, Leonore and Reagan stood in front of Sebastian's desk, where Sebastian sat behind.

"Has he been fed?", Sebastian asked.

"Not yet. Do you want us to?", Leonore asked with a wide grin. "He's not speaking. For a coward, he really won't budge"

Sebastian chuckled. "Are you sure he isn't speaking because you busted his mouth, Leonore? I asked you to capture him not nearly kill him"

"Reagan was actually the one who did all the damage", Leonore laughed. "I just watched"

Sebastian looked at the quiet twin and only received a shrug in response. He took the glass orb that had been lying on his desk idly and began playing with it.

"Harry definitely knows where Madonna's cave is. That eye is embedded with rare stones and jewels that can't even be found in Calabran", Leonore told Sebastian.

"Oh I know that. This eye proves it", Sebastian replied, examining the eye. It was transparent and decorated with fine jewels and stones.

But that wasn't what Sebastian cared about. What he cared about was the secret in Madonna's cave. The secret that would cure him of the curse he carried.

The curse that had tortured him since the day he was born.

A curse entwined with his fate.

But the thing is, Sebastian was stronger than fate and he knew. Fate stood no chance.

And no matter what, he would lift this curse.

"Starve him", Sebastian finally said, dropping the glass eye back on his desk. "And when he's about to die, feed him only enough to lengthen his life. I'll handle the rest"

"Aye aye Captain", Leonore replied and he and Reagan began leaving the room. But Sebastian wasn't done.

He called Reagan back. "Reagan, I need a job done before we leave. I want it done quickly"

One of Reagan's brows raised in interest. That was why Sebastian wanted him to do it without Leonore, he knew Leonore was someone who enjoyed the hunt as well as the kill, he would waste too much time. But Reagan, he liked to get the job done fast.

"And what is this job?"

           Celestiel woke up the next morning alone on the bed.

She wondered if Sebastian was being a gentleman to her or he just didn't find her attractive enough.

It simultaneously annoyed her and touched her.

Wanting to see him, Celestiel had her bath and wore a loose fitted, floral blouse and a long brown skirt. She felt rather free today and wanted nothing to weigh her down. So she wore no jewelry and let her hair fall down her shoulders.

She went up to the main deck and once again, spotted Sebastian on the helm of the ship, by the wheel.

She found herself staring at him. He had an easy expression on his face, his Captain's hat wasn't on his head and the wind tousled his hair.

He looked serene, calm.

It was hard to believe he was the rumoured 'Tyrant of the seven seas'.

           As she continued to stare at him, he turned in her direction and caught her...again.

A smile pulled on Sebastian's lips as he saw she refused to look away. She never did, even when she was caught.

It amused him.

She looked beautiful in the morning sun and Sebastian didn't fail to notice it. Her beauty was truly unmatched. It was almost sad.

Beautiful things always had the ugliest scars.

"You're up", he said as she walked up to meet him. "Did you rest well?"

"I did, thankyou", Celestiel nodded with a small smile, still enthralled by his aura and presence.

"Splendid. I have a present for you", Sebastian smiled. "I hope you like it"

Sebastian lifted his hand for the princess to take and she received it without hesitation.

Sebastian led her to his private study. And when Celestiel saw her present, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Aletta?"
