Soon Harry came back and walks over to her. "Looks like your friends are here to rescue you and your precious King, Princess. Let's get you to the deck."
Elisa's eyes widens at Harry's words, her heart leaping at the prospect of a rescue. "My friends? They're here?" she asked, hope mingling with apprehension.
Harry nods, his usual smirk back in place, though there was a flicker of something more serious in his gaze. "Aye, your friends. Seems like they've managed to make their way here. But don't get too excited just yet. The situation's still precarious, and you'll need to stay sharp. Uma's plans might be complicated, but there's still a chance to turn things around."
Elisa's heart races with hope and anxiety as she struggled to get her bearings. She nods, trying to steady her breathing. "Okay, got it."
Harry walked behind her and untied her ropes to get her to stand. He unties the ropes of her ankles, letting the rope drop to the ground and giving her a bit of relief. Then he kept the rope around her wrists tied but keeping them loose. He tied her arms behind her back, his grip firm but gentle as his hand gripped her arm and guided her out the door. Harry didn't let her walk out the door by herself, his hand firmly gripping her arm as he guided her. He walked behind her, his presence a looming threat. Elisa was nervous about what was coming, but she was also grateful that Harry was at least somewhat helping her. She was sure things could be a lot worse, and at least she had an ally in him. He led her down the dimly lit hallway up the stairs. The wooden floors creaked and groaned with every step, and the air was thick with the smell of the sea. It was almost a comforting smell, and Elisa found herself taking a deep breath, savoring the scent.
They emerged onto the main deck, the bright sunlight momentarily blinding her. Once her eyes adjusted, Elisa saw Mal and the others standing on the docks in front of the ship. Relief flooded through her, but her worries came back as she noticed Ben tied up. Harry walked her closer to the edge, the ropes around her wrists feeling more restricting now. She wasn't sure what Uma was planning, but she had a feeling it wasn't going to be good.
"Uma wants you watching Ben," CJ's voice suddenly sounded beside her, startling her. CJ was looking at her older brother, an annoyed expression on her face. "So, go watch him." She said, gesturing towards the King.
Harry gives his sister a look, not pleased with her ordering him around. "And what will ye be doing?"
"Uma ordered for me to watch her." She answers, a smirk forming on her lips as her eyes flickered over to Elisa. "Make sure she doesn't try anything."
Harry's eyes narrow and his jaw clenches. "I don't need you to tell me how to do my job." He hisses, his tone cold and dangerous. "Now, leave her alone."
CJ scowls, clearly annoyed. "Uma told me to tell you to keep an eye on Ben. It's an order from her, not me, dummy. So, if you have a problem with that, you'll have to take it up with her. Until then, do your job."
