The pirates were in an uproar. But after encountering such a change, Ivar's tone was still surprisingly calm:
"Yes, seizing the title of King of Heroes is also an option. With my strength, there is a 90% chance that I will be killed by you here. None of my brothers are your opponents. But, Hestein,
In the end, you will lose to my father, just like you ten years ago and Aleister twenty years ago."
Hestein brought the tip of the sword forward a little closer: "Why are you so sure?"
"Hestein, the next sentence has nothing to do with the King of Heroes, but I want to say it to you in my personal capacity."
Facing the angry Hestein, Ivar stretched out his fingers expressionlessly and moved the tip of the sword slightly.
"Even if my father lets you go like this, with the amount of loot you have this time, many people in your territory will starve to death, right?"
A trace of blood overflowed from Ivar's neck. In a moment, Hestein and Ivar had a round of confrontation around the tip of the sword, and Hestein won. Bjorn rushed forward and wanted to kill him.
The two separated, but before he could arrive, Hestein had already put away his sword and left the shore silently.
Night fell. Ella and Amy were pushed into Hestein's tent by several vicious pirates. By this time, Ella's anger had gradually turned into sadness and fear.
"He helped me several times and made me really think he was a good person."
Ella squatted in the corner and buried her head deeply in her knees. But even her knees were cold and cold, without any warmth.
"If you think about it carefully, if I was really right about people, I wouldn't leave the palace entirely to my uncle. Amy, you are absolutely right, I am white cream, and anyone can do it."
Desserts you can enjoy.”
Ella, who said this, suddenly raised her head and stared at Amy with eyes full of doubts and terrifyingly dark eyes:
"Amy... you have always been very kind to me... so good that I can't believe it... It's almost as if you are deliberately trying to please me for some purpose... Actually... you are also a spy who was planted next to me, right?"
Snapped!
As soon as Ella finished speaking, she gave herself a slap in the face, and then buried her head back in her knees.
"I'm sorry." She apologized with a hint of crying in her voice.
Amy smiled bitterly and shook her head, walked over and hugged her gently. When she touched Ella's body, Ella shook as if she was electrocuted, but she calmed down immediately.
"Your Majesty...you don't need to apologize. Your suspicion is justified. I know your Majesty best, and therefore I am also the most dangerous person. Your Majesty has finally become a little bit more like Baselisa."
"But Your Majesty, you did something wrong just now."
Amy leaned her head close to Ella and whispered in her ear:
"Don't let the person you doubt know that you are doubting him. Unless it is for deterrence, bury the doubt in your heart. Know that the danger is there, and be prepared for all responses in secret. Things that can be solved with a dagger,
Just don't use swords and magic. This is what Your Majesty needs to do."
After saying this, Amy smiled, gently lifted Ella's head up, and helped her wipe away her tears.
"Your Majesty... don't be afraid. Hestein is only a man after all. I will use Aphrodite's protection to protect your Majesty with all my strength. After all, compared to me, your Majesty's body is really just a little bird.
."
Just when Ella was about to say something, Hestein opened the tent and walked in. Ella was startled, covered her mouth quickly, lowered her head and shrank into the corner. Amy looked at the sea.
Stein, forced a flattering smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, Hestein ignored them. He staggered past Ella and Amy, leaving behind a pungent smell of alcohol. Before he was about to fall, he touched his bed.
, and threw the whole person up at once.
"Drunk?" Amy frowned. In the past month, she had never seen or heard of Hestein drinking.
"belch!"
Hestein burped a burp full of alcohol, then stood up half-body from the bed unsteadily, and glanced at Ella who was hiding in the corner shivering with his drunken eyes.
"You——" He pointed at Ella unsteadily and said inarticulately:
"With your abilities, if you continue to stay here, you don't know how you will die one day!"
After saying this, Hestein burped again, and then fell on the bed with a thud. After an unknown amount of time, Hestein snored slightly.
"Asleep...asleep?" Ella asked tentatively.
Amy suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity. Quick, take off your clothes!"
"Wait a minute Amy, don't pull my clothes! He's already asleep, why should I take off my clothes?"
"Get under his quilt!"
"Are you crazy? He is asleep! Why should I take the initiative to get in instead?"
"It's because I fell asleep that I drilled it! People can't remember what happened when they're drunk! As long as he wakes up and finds His Majesty sleeping next to him, we will be treated as 'used sacrifices' and sent
It’s a ship dedicated to Poseidon! Your Majesty can take us back to land, can’t you?”
"I have read books about navigation...but I have never practiced it." Ella understood Amy's thoughts, nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly thought of something again, and said:
"Amy...are you...actually...well-suited to be a spymaster?"
"Now is not the time to talk about these things! I'm going to untie Hestein's clothes. Your Majesty, please be more agile with your hands and feet!"
As soon as he mentioned this, Ella shook her head violently: "No, no, no, no! Even if it's just pretending, if he wants me to sleep in the same bed with him, I would rather die!"
Amy stamped her foot anxiously: "Forget it! Then let me get in instead! Your Majesty, make your clothes a little messier. When he wakes up the next day, you can huddle in the corner and pretend to cry! By the way, here you go.
I'm screaming, now!"
"Call...call?"
"There are pirates outside listening! If there is no sound at all, they will be suspected! Call me out, scream quickly!"
"What...what do you call it?"
"First of all, be a little scared, like, 'Yeah...no...don't!'"
"Yeah...no...don't!"
"Then the voice will gradually become more and more ecstatic...forget it, I don't know anymore, Your Majesty, let's do it ourselves!"
"How...how could this be possible!"
…
…
the next day.
"Hey, did you hear the unprecedented fierce sound in the boss's tent last night?"
Pirates can be seen whispering everywhere.
"Listen, I heard it, it sounds like the boss still has the upper hand!"
"Down, down? I was wondering how the shield maiden who could take the lead in attacking the castle was subdued in one move. It turned out that she had already planned to defeat the boss..."
"Hey, hey, hey? So let's talk about the martial arts competition yesterday. Was it actually the two of them flirting?"
Hestein walked among the talking pirates, with question marks written all over his face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Our plan was successful." Amy whispered to Ella, "But why do I feel that you are a little unhappy?"
"Who would be happy about this situation!"
Ella covered her blushing face with both hands, wishing she could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
They were brought to a small boat. The group of female prisoners they saw yesterday were being herded to the boat one by one. Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing. Hestein watched them get on the boat and looked back from time to time.
Ella and Amy's eyes were full of doubts.
Bjorn came over and reported to Hestein: "Boss, my eldest brother went back last night. What should we do next?"
"To Antilia."
Bjorn was anxious: "Boss, you must not listen to my father and brother! If we go to Antilia, all the brothers will be killed by that 'Sword Master'!"
"It's not that I'm going to attack. In fact, the sword master is more or less my master, and he may be able to provide me with some support." Hestein rubbed his eyes, "I will only bring three ships. Where is Dan? Ask him to write a letter for me.
Give the letter to the Sword Master to prevent them from misunderstanding."
A pirate said tremblingly on the side: "Boss... Last night Dantou led a few people to climb aboard a ship, and he didn't know where he took the ship..."
"What is this alchemist thinking about?" Hestein shouted, "He is the only one here who can write!"
"I don't know... I heard from witnesses that Leader Dan seemed to be hiding something and kept shouting, 'I didn't do anything!' 'He has brown hair!' 'He's not blond!'
If so..."
"Brown hair?" Hestein looked thoughtfully at Ella, who was about to board the ship. The purple robe on Ella looked very luxurious at first glance, and she obviously came from a wealthy family. And listening to Dan
description, she has read many books.
"Send away the other sacrifices and pull those two people off the boat last night and bring them back to my tent!"
When they heard that Hestein wanted to keep Ella, the pirates who didn't know the truth burst into excitement. Even the most ferocious pirates suddenly became respectful towards Ella.
