Chapter 19

"Now is our chance. Things will get worse... Are you guys ready?" Kazuki asked. "Yes, but I need these ropes off of me," I said. "Oh, right," Shirayuki said and untied the ropes. "It feels nice to be free," I said with a smile. "I'm ready, but let me see your face, Kazuki," Shirayuki said. "Nah, I'm good," Kazuki said. "Yeah, I'm good too," I said. "But you have cuts on your face. They need to be treated," she said. "Now is not the time," I said. "Alright, let's go..." Shirayuki said with a sigh. Then, she started ripping her dress. "Woah, what are you doing!?" Kazuki asked. "Well, it's gonna be hard walking around," she said. "Right... Let's go now," Kazuki said and we all walked out the door. There was a trap door at the top of the ladder and Kazuki tired to open it.

"Looks like she locked it and we're on the boat already..." Kazuki said. Shirayuki looked around and she saw a sack of seeds. She took one out of the sack and tasted it, "It's a chitoka seed. I have a good plan," Shirayuki said. We found a thing to put the chitoka seeds in so we could burn them without burning the ship down. We put masks over our mouths so we wouldn't cough. We went to go hide while the pirates were coming down. "What's going on here?! Did they set this place in the fire?!" A pirate said, but they were too distracted, so Kazuki knocked them out with glass bottles.

"I thought your plan wouldn't have worked at all, what are those things?" Kazuki asked. "Chitoka seeds. They are a great food source and they also attend to smoke a lot when burned," Shirayuki explained. "So out of curiosity, what did you guys do back in Clairnes?" He asked. "Well, I was a court herbalist," She said. "I was Prince Zen's guard," I said. "Did you both want to do that?" Kazuki asked. "Yes, of course," I said. "Interesting..." He said. Kazuki poked his head out to see if it was clear to go. "Ok, once you guys get on the deck, jump off the boat, got it?" He said. "Wait, I can't swim..." I said. "I'll help you," He said. I nodded my head.

We started heading for the water, but we were stopped by Umihebi's chain sickle, "Why in such a hurry?! You look like little minos. The snake will swallow you head first if your not careful," Umihebi said and locked her lips. It was disgusting...

We were searching around the castle for any clues. "Hey look, a watch," Mitsuhide said and had a letter in his hand from Obi. "Isn't that what Zen gave to Shirayuki before she left?" I asked. "Yes," Kiki said. "We should bring that to Zen," I said. "Good idea," Kiki said and we headed back to Zen. "Prince Zen, we found this," Mitsuhide said while holding out the watch. Zen took the watch, "My watch...!" Zen said in shock. "Obi picked it up after the fight. He left it here while searching for Akari and Shirayuki," I said. "I see..." Zen said. Then, Kiki walked by Zen's side and smacked his back while he was staring at his watch.

"Wh-What was that!?" Zen said in pain. "I mean, it's not like you can maintain your composure going through all of this," Kiki said. "You'll combust if you leave all that frustration in you," Mitsuhide said. I chuckled a little at this, "So, you're trying to help me burn some steam off? So kind of you... Mitsuhide, you're going to the chamber of punishment once we get back," Zen said with an I'm-gonna-kill-you-face. 'Wait, but it was all Kiki's idea! Why just me?!" Mitsuhide asked. "Very wise of you Prince Zen," Kiki said. "Akari will be disappointed in you, Zen," I said laughing at the fact that Akari likes Mitsuhide. "Hm, maybe she'll get punished too," Zen said in anger. "Well, if you're gonna hurt Princess, you'll have to go through me first...!" I said angered.

"Thank you for waiting. Are you ready to go? Apparently, we'll be going to visit a group called, The Lions of the Mountain," Raji said coming down from a staircase. "Hopefully they have useful information. This is interesting. Also, you'll be happy to hear this," Zen said. "What will that be?" Raji said. "I have a promising lead," Zen said and signaled a guard to go somewhere. Then, we got to our horses and Zen blew a whistle to signal the birds. Then we started riding off, 'Princess, I'm coming for you, don't worry!' I thought.
