Chapter 4: Dangers of the Northern Seas

Chapter 4: Dangers of the Northern Seas

We set our sights on Centena... Finally... At some point we are... going to get to my home village...

I asked August, "So where are we stopping first?"

August pulls out a map, "The closest, Zoudou Kingdom... Xence Port City."

Rayth shouted, "Who ate all the bread— never mind..."

To the left we could see Eloria with her collection of bread, "Hmm, taste shit but will do."

August sighs, "We just need to relax... I never had the chance to rest for a while..."

Hm... I asked, "Why did you send Vall to the empire? I trust Leo to finish a lot of these Battalions..."

August looks back, "Hm? Oh I didn't send him because of the battalions..."

"Then what?"

"Because the hierarchy of the Empire... has shaken up."

"Shakened up?!"

"For the longest time... My ancestor created the hierarchy within the empire... She hated commoners and worst towards presents. And a few selected became what we call nobles. Until my grandfather fought for the freedom of the commoners, and my father ended it with the birth of the Fallen Nobles."

"Huh..."

"But now that the Nox Government is trying to take over... these fallen nobles are trying to reclaim their past titles. They are taking advantage that Nacht has been taken over... And even if Leo manages to get rid of the battalions... My brother could not handle that situation... Vall, a fallen noble is the person we need to resolve this situation..."

"Vall?"

"He may have his own plans but his morals are still good... He believes that both commoners and nobles can live a proper life. I guess... the main reason why nobles get a bad rep is they are arrogant and selfish, greedy and have their own complex. Vall was like that, but he experienced what it felt like to be in poverty... I know his ideals won't change... But his actions will change the empire... I believe."

"Alright, if you believe in him... I'll do as well."

Then from the background Alina shouts, "Damn it, who ate all the fruit buns!"

Jasper shakes his hands, "No it wasn't me!"

"Who else will it be?"

They both turn to Eloria who has them stuffed in her mouth as she gulps them, "They are still bread... tasty."

I sighed, "Her stomach became more of an abyss than five years ago..."

August laughs, "This is fun... I dreamed of this night ever since we lost you Lyn... I wish this would last forever."

"yeah..."

It was mostly peaceful, we had our lunch together and eventually we were around halfway to Zoudou Kingdom. Eloria mentioned that we could meet Vita and Lexus, as they both work for the kingdom. August wants the kingdom's cooperation for Operation Liberation as battalions still roam in Centena... Although they won't be much of a problem due to Luyu.

Crackle!

Suddenly the dark sky was covered by even darker clouds, as the waves suddenly became violent, so did the air and wind which is bad for flight. Some of us were still asleep as a loud thunder woke us all up, and a torrent of rain fell from the sky.

Sondas shouted, "Gang! I don't think I can control Astra that much anymore!"

August sounds back as he lowers the sail, "Sondas! Turn off the engine and land on the sea!"
