I then straightened myself and smiled at a confused Lutious. I then smacked the back of his head as he pouted.

"YOU LITTLE PERV WHY THE f.u.c.k ARE YOU IN MY ROOM?"

Lutious has tears in the corner of his eyes as he looked at me with large eyes and said.

"Is there something wrong with bathing with you Miss Mila?"

Yes, there f.u.c.king is on so many levels. I sighed and put on my red coat and hat as I walked out of the room. Before exiting I ran back and patted Lutious's soft head.

He scrunched you his little cute face as I kissed the top of his head and turned on my heel. A particular smell of smoke filled my nose as I looked to see a terrible sight in the morning. I cursed myself and my dead ancestors who must've pa.s.sed down a curse to me.

"Oi! Captain Mila, when are we going to dock? Francois is almost out of cigars."

I walked over and smiled forcefully as I smacked the cigar out of Jacia's hand. She looked at me in feigned shock as I glared.

"The reason they are all out is because of you f.u.c.king smoking up to three cigars a day! Jesus Christ how have your lungs not corrupted yet?"

Jacia looked at me in confusion as I sighed. Whatever let her smoke the f.u.c.king day away. I then looked at the lit cigar and picked it up. I'll just throw it overboard as that would be a better option than leaving it to burn on this wooden s.h.i.+p.

The sound of my bare feet smacking the wood floor as Jacia followed me vibrated and filled the empty corridor. As we neared the end of the hall I could hear the sound of loud voices and the swis.h.i.+ng of water from the deck above.

I sighed as I adjusted my hat and opened the latch door. The familiar smell of the salty sea mixed with sweat filled my nose. As if the testosterone wasn't already leaking into the air from the amount of men as crew members, but the conversations they had oozed that as well.

The sound of seagulls chirping filled my ears as I looked at the bustling deck. Bare-chested men mingled around as they either sat on barrels conversing or they were actually doing their job and wiped the deck. I looked up and forward to see the raised deck which had the three other captains. They oozed honor and "bada.s.s" as they bickered. I smiled as I wondered what they were bickering about.

As I stepped onto the deck with Jacia in tow the men who were messing around looked at me in fear as they sprung up and started mopping. I glared. It was my job after all to take care of the crew members.

Baron turned away from the other captains as our eyes met. He smiled and bowed to me. I smiled as I bowed back.

That mocking f.u.c.ker.

Daniella and Clarabella walked over to me from their perches on two barrels. They were dressed in loose ruffled dresses as they refused to dress as men as Jacia had done. I looked down at my outfit. It was sloppy as f.u.c.k. My nightgown was coming out of my black pants which had the fly open. I had one boot zipped up and the other still open. And the "coat" rested around my shoulders instead. Showing to the world that I was too lazy to put my hands in the sleeves.

Clarabella's eyes shone as she trotted up to me and clasped my two hands. A worried expression on her face.

"What's wrong Clarabella?"

Clarabella looked at Daniella. Daniella nodded before Clarabella whispered something. I heard the word "together" before the sound of men singing a ballad filled my ear. I turned and glared at the singing, drunk men. They hiccuped before shutting up. I then leaned in once more and asked.

"I'm sorry Clarabella, I couldn't hear you, could you please repeat what you said?"

Clarabella nodded as she whispered once more. I frowned as I know heard the word "dragon". I looked at Clarabella with confusion as she continued to whisper. When I finally started to catch on to what she was saying, the sound of a person falling on deck sounded.

I quickly whipped my face around to see that two drunken crew members were laughing on the deck as a group of others laughed around them. When they saw my glare, their flushed faces turned pale. It looked as if they had seen a ghost. Once they quieted I turned to a slightly annoyed Clarabella.

"Mila, did you hear what I said?"

I shook my head as I propped myself on one knee and clasped her hand. I then looked up at her and said.

"I'm sorry my princess, but could you repeat it once more? There are too many idiots and filth on this deck that keep blocking my ears. Don't worry though, the next time they yell, I'll throw them overboard."

I said the last sentence louder on purpose so that the crew members would hear me. I could hear them gulp as they looked at me. I smiled back sweetly. My face scrunched up as a puff of smoke came on it. I turned and smacked Jacia's hand.

"How many f.u.c.king times have I told you to not smoke next to me?"

Jacia chuckled as she sent another puff of smoke my way. I felt a gaze on the back of my head. I s.h.i.+vered as I saw both Baron and Josh glare in my direction. They must also be bothered by Jacia's smoking.

Jacia then pecked my cheek as my face flushed. She laughed as I flipped her off. c.o.c.ky b.i.t.c.h! Why haven't I thrown her overboard yet?

The deathly glares from Josh and Baron only intensified. I swear to G.o.d that I literally felt two daggers stab the back of my head. Clarabella then tugged on my sleeve as she said.

"Will you help me with that Miss Mila?"

I nodded absentmindedly as Clarabella and Daniellas' faces brightened. Little did I know that what I had agreed to will take away something even more valuable than my life.
