[ Chapter 51 ]

Y/n's pov.  

I sniffle and watch the waves crashing onto this boat as I use my sleeve to wipe my face, trying to control the spasm in my chest that's causing me to hiccup.

" We were all in your shoes before, heirs before leaders " I hear the woman's voice.

I know who it is but it seems like I didn't have to turn as she stood beside.

" Isolated, controlled, and have the urge to just do what you're born to do " she said as we watch the ocean.

" All of us made mistakes, believe me even your gramps and father " I turn my head to Her Majesty standing there.

Her front hair combed back and secured with a clip on top of her head that's shaped like a crown. Her golden armor glistening under the sunlight and I look back at the ocean as it reflect the bright blue sky.

" We learn from our mistakes and we grow up, you will get the chance to experience these things, just not now " she said.

" Why do they exist?, Why are we given these so called gifts? " I asked as I look at my palm.

" It's not exactly a question I can answer, but all I know is that it gives us purpose " she said.

" To suffer? "

" A purpose to find who you are " she turns my head by my chin.

" It's not a curse, as cool as it sounds to the normal people or whatever you call it, you should be grateful to have it " she said.

" Not all of us are given this armor for free, it's there to protect you and it's not for you to break it either " she wipes a tear from my cheek.

The wind blowing her hair behind her while mines in place by the hairpin, it's getting cold these days.

" Once it wears down, you have to pick up the pieces again, because that's what it's made for " she said.

" I tried to make things better for all of you, my son is suffering along with you as well and one day, you will know how it feels when you become a leader and have an heir yourself " she said.

" It's a burden we all have to carry "

" I just thought I could help " I said as I sniffle and turned away.

" Some people are not worth of your help, you need to know that, your gramps learned that the hard way after loosing his eyesight " she said.

" He's an old prick " I said and she chuckles.

" That he is "

" He's also approaching behind you "

My eyes widened and my tears dried so quick just as I react to the pain on my ear.

" Ow!, Ow!, Ow!, Ow! " I yelp and wince as I whine from the pull on my ear.

At the same time I got turned around to gramps and he let go after a while, I exhale in relief and hiss as I rub it the pain away.

" Captain Roanne has agreed and signed the contract " he said and Sienna stood straight.

" That's wonderful news, the only good news today " she mutters as she lean against the edge of the boat and fold her arms across her chest.

" Contract?, What contract? " I asked as I sniffle from my stuffy nose.

The queen looks at me.

" Since you healed the Captain's wife, I took advantage and have her signed a contract of alliance, but it benefits her crew as well " she said.
