Continuation of Paris's POV:

"I've found a ship that can take us the same time as the other one tomorrow morning," Richard said. He crossed his legs as he sat in the chair at the table in his room again, looking towards me as I munched on some sweets and food he had bought me. "It has a vampire captain, just like you wanted. We'll be able to get across with Titania and Mihai and not have to sell them. It'll make it easier to travel to Laurence with our horses still with us. He's got a few humans he's taking with him too, but he says that it's not that many." He shook his head then. "He says he makes trips across to England once a month for trading purposes, but we'll be able to be comfortable while riding over." He picked up an apple and started to eat it, looking down at the table. "We should get some sleep after we eat. This might be the last time we have in awhile to enjoy the comfort of a warm bed without the rocking of a ship...." He glanced up at me then and purred before he ate another bite of the apple. "Did your clothes get all the sand out from yesterday's adventure?" He gave me a playful look and leaned across the table for a kiss.

"I cleaned them up while you were out," I told him and blushed. I gave him a kiss and smiled. "Want me to do yours?" I asked curiously. He thought about it before he shook his head.

"No, I've got it. I can clean them out before we go tomorrow." He stole another kiss before he sat back in his seat. He frowned a little then before he took another bite of his apple. "Paris... do you think Laurence is going to have our view of the laws since how he is offering his help... or do you think we should be wary of him? We have come a long way to find him... but what if we get over there... and it turns out Laurence had other plans for us?"

"If Laurence can see the future..." I trailed off. "Then whatever he's doing- he sent the letter to us for a reason. I'm sure we should at least check it out.... We'll never know unless we do." I reached out for his hand and gave him a calm smile. He looked at my hand then held it before he gave a nod.

"Yes... you're right. We don't have a better plan than that, do we? I want to make our life perfect for you.... We'll see what he has to say... and if it turns out he tricked us, we can make a break for it. We won't be separated," he promised me then brought my hand to his lips and gave it a soft kiss. "I'll always protect you." I gave him a sweet smile.

"We'll see when we reach him if he's a friend or a foe," I whispered. I looked towards the bed before I walked over to it- pulling him with me. "Let's get an early night's rest. I bet the ship leaves tomorrow- early." He nodded then climbed into bed with me before he stripped down to his underwear and stretched out, purring happily before he pulled me down on top of him and wrapped his arms around me, kissing the top of my head.

"We'll have to figure out where Laurence's castle is in England when we get there," he mumbled in my ear then yawned before he closed his eyes. "Sweet dreams, Paris."

~Time Skip~

"Alright, let's get you on the ship here!" Captain Heinrich said and grinned at us as we walked up to the ship, Richard leading the horses. "Let's see.... We're going to put your horses below deck. I got them some fresh hay waiting on them and some water. They'll be well taken care of." He smirked at us then walked up, shaking Richard's hand before he yanked him close. "The seas are dangerous and treacherous. Don't blame me if anything happens," he said then winked before he pulled away and looked at us before he reached out and took the horses from Richard, leading them up a plank onto the ship then handed them off to a shipmate who took them down below deck. He looked at us then. "Come on! On board before I leave you behind!" He leaned over the edge and looked down at us with a smirk. Richard watched him and frowned before he led me onto the ship then looked around, inspecting everything.
