She was,

Her eyes

3 days have passed.

One night. 

Dragon, woke up to monitor his troops. Also, to read the new newspaper again that day.

Nothing new, just news about pirates. 

It's been 3 days since the lady celestial dragon came out of her room. As her escort he was worried about her, thinking this might be her first time on a ship. 

He thought of calling his mom at this point to ask things.  "Haha", Dragon laughed at himself, this is new to him. It's a very nice night , and he won't waste it thinking too much. 

Dragon walked around the ship to check his men, and the other ship which is boarded by the celestial dragon's escorts. 

"Purrut purrut purrut", he looked for his den den mushi on his jacket. 

It was not his. 

Kacha!

Oi Rosa, are you in Flevance yet?, Dragon overheard a voice. 

Not yet, oka-sama(mom), a girl responded. 

"You better hurry, your groom might be bored waiting for you and wed a different woman. You know what will happen to you if that would be", says the woman on the other line. 

"Yes, my escort is a smart and strong marine we will be there in no time oka-sama", the girl answered. 

"You're hopeless, but you'll get us to elixir, at least that way your life will have meaning," - said the woman. 

Kacha! 

Silence. 

Sound of a woman sobbing. 

Dragon is of course certain, he overheard the conversation between Rosa and her mother. He was again confused, but as he is he will not dwell with it. He walkex away from the area where he is now before Rosa would see him. 

As he starts walking he noticed ripped cloth on the barrels, where they store wine. 

Vice Admiral! Vice Admiral! Vice Admiral! shouts a marine running towards Dragon. 

"The celestial dragon's door has blood on it, we tried calling for her inside but nobody answers. 

Dragon eyebrows raised, he was always in monitor and there are marine guards near her room.

Stop panicking, go to your post I'll look for the celestial dragon. 

He goes back to where he was earlier since he heard Rosa talking to her mom on the denden mushi. 

He heard a woman's voice crying near the barrels. 

Maám? His eyes wandering around the area. Then, 

He was horrified. Rosa, was hiding between the barrels almost naked and crying. She looked up and just stared at his eyes in horror. She has blood on her arms and bruises.

What happened?! Dragon exclaimed, he was caught off guard.  He wanted to grab her out and ask who did this to her but it might scare her more. He dialed his denden mushi and called for 2 female marines. He put his large jacket to cover her. 

"Bring her to my room instead, she will use my room now", Dragon commanded.

My men, will never do this, says Dragon staring at the other ship.

He called all his men for a meeting that night. He was very confused how a celestial dragon is experiencing this. He needs to know what he really is dealing with. This is not an escort job anymore. How is he not informed about this woman's background. A celestial dragon is a celestial dragon. They are raised privileged, will never be harmed and their circle are also nobles. There's no way they experience hardships, yet this woman. 

All men, face me. What happened? Dragon began talking. 

All of them were also confused, they haven't heard anything, have not seen anything too. 

Sir, we swear with our lives that we have nothing to do with this incident. Our task is to escort the lady keep her comfortable and safe, says a marine, he bowed. 

Dragon looked at all 30 of them in the eyes. 

"Understood, go back to posts".  Lin-lin, Karin stay, says Dragon to the 2 female marines. 

Yes Sir. 

You will be sleeping inside my room too. The lady for sure won't mind, she's different.

Yes Sir. 

How's she? 

Still shivering Sir, we helped her took a bath, we are nurses too Sir so we tend her wounds. They are cuts by a knife Sir, and her bruises were like she was tied with a rope, explains Karin. 

LinLin starts crying, I feel sorry for the lady Sir she's still shivering and crying, please tell us how we can be of help to her.

Dragon, was very surprised by what's happening. His eyes were angry and his blood boiled. The very thing he hates is when a person, specially a woman is taken advantage of.
