Mad John's eyes widened involuntarily as he seem to have gotten a sudden revelation.
But still, keeping himself composed, he said "I don't know why she didn't inform you about the Pirate code, but I am sure that she might have forgotten since not everyone can memorize all the rules listened in it".
Although he had his suspicions, Mad John knew that he couldn't just go bring down Captain Clara in the knight's eyes, because of the closeness between the two of them.
And if there was one thing that he had learned within the past three days of Prince Wyatt's absence, it was that insulting Captain Clara was the same as insulting Knight Camille.
"Very well, for once we will do as you say. After all, you are one with the knowledge about the seas so you must know about this Pirate code much more than I know. But, let's just hope that you aren't lying or else, you will regret it" Knight Camille replied, releasing her bloodlust into the air as a warning to Mad John.
The latter showed a wry smile on his face and kept his head down throughout the trip until they had arrived on the ship of the Crimson Black eye crew with only the waves of the sea filling up the eery silence as it played in the background as a melody.
"Welcome to the Crimson eye pirate ship. May I know who you are please?" Jerry said as he looked at the middle-aged man and a young woman that was clad in armour.
"I am Camille Bronzeheart. Guardian knight of Prince Wyatt, first Prince of the Endossa Empire" Knight Camille said "Although you can just call me knight Camile".
Jerry raised a brow at her words, but still, he didn't say anything that would further tense the mood and merely stretched his hand for a handshake.
"It's a pleasure to meet you knight Camille, I am Jerry, second-in-command of the Crimson black eye crew" Jerry said as he shook her hand.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| "And you?" Turning his attention to the side, he asked the middle-aged man.
Startled by the man's words as he expected the man opposite to him to just glance over him and not pay him any attention, Mad John cleared his throat.
"Ahem!! I am Mad John, Sailing master of Prince Wyatt's crew" Mad John responded, as he shook Jerry's hand.
"Oh!! it seems that we have similar roles in both our ships. Although I would have liked to have a couple of beers with a similar sailing master and second-in-command of a beautiful ship like myself, I believe that my captain would be thrilled to hear that it was the banished Prince who dared to intrude on his territory" Jerry replied.
And Mad John could only smile awkwardly as he understood what his words meant.
It was an underlining threat to them to behave themselves as they knew about the Prince and his circumstances, coupled with the fact that this was their turf, and any other rules were the ones set by them.
In other words, this was an indirect warning to Knight Camille.
"Where is the Prince by the way? Since this is his first time in the Cryptic Sea, isn't he supposed to pay a visit to the Pirate who owns it to clear any misunderstandings that might rise later in the future?" Jerry added as he looked around.
"Sigh!! Unfortunately, we would have brought him along, but the Prince is currently seasick and is couped up in his room. One look at the ocean and he would start throwing up nonstop until he empties his stomach" Knight Camille said as she shook her head in dissatisfaction.
"Hah!! I heard that the Prince was banished for his incompetence, but I didn't know that he had developed a fear for water. This is a very embarrassing topic, the incompetent Prince and his tales of greater profitless. Hahaha! What a fitting name!!".
Knight Camille and Mad John just stood still with no expression on their faces as they listened to Jerry's nonstop aggravating words.
Mad John could even feel the heat brewing beside him, knowing that knight Camille might explode at any moment and do something that might get them all in a great amount of trouble, he said "Ahem!! Aren't we supposed to meet Captain Crimson eye, isn't he waiting for our arrival?".
Jerry looked at Mad john who had just interrupted him and responded "Of course, forgive me for getting carried away. I tend to misbehave in situations that I consider as a joke".
However, seeing that he didn't get any other response from the two individuals, Jerry turned around and led them towards Captian Crimson eye office.
Along the man, Mad John felt his heart almost jumping out of his chest as he saw Knight Camille attempting to draw her sword but holding herself back.
These happened a few more times as they walked behind Jerry with several other Crimson black-eye crewmen watching them with curiosity in their eyes.
Sighing heavily in relief as they arrived at a wide door with both of their heads intact, Mad John caught Knight Camille's gaze on him and watched as she turned her head forward with a snort.
Shaking his head internally as he waited to meet the famed Captain Crimson eye, Mad John watched as Jerry calmly knocked on the door.
"KNOCK!!" "KNOCK!!"
"Captain, Prince Wyatt's crewman and his guardian knight are here to see you".
…....….
[ CAPTAIN CRIMSON EYE P . O . V ]
Listening to the familiar voice coming from outside his office, Captain Crimson eye couldn't help but raise a brow In confusion as thought he had misheard the words.
Prince Wyatt crewman and his guardian knight!
Wasn't the Prince supposed to tag along too?
Even though he was a Prince and could be seen as someone who didn't have any knowledge about the sea, doesn't he have people around him to advise him on the proper etiquette when entering a pirate's territory?
Nevertheless, he still responded.
"Come in!!".
