Chapter 164: Inheritance of a Necromancer?!
Actaea,
They had anchored the cog at Pentos' harbor under the guise of an ordinary trading ship.
As much as he disliked doing it, Kai had ordered to store the Jolly Roger away for the time being. The nature of their task demanded them to be low-key now, as they knew the news of any white-haired boy pirating on a stolen ship had yet to reach Pentos.
Captain Red had sent one of his seamen to bring him the details regarding the wedding. All things would have to wait till then. In the captain's cabin, Kai was lying on the bed, his back against the headboard, and he kept running his hands over the smooth red silk, a bone-hand embroidered on it with lean, long fingers.

He could still see in front of his eyes an ecstatic giant figure of Andrik, perplexed beyond any awe, marching into the cabin. The two-handed battle-ax had truly looked like some divine blessing the way Andrik was holding it.
Kai chuckled, recalling the words Andrik had said then.
The Drowned God has blessed with this Headcleaver Battle-ax, Andrik had told him, kneeling. Now I will use this to spread the name of White Serpent Pirates and HIS faith to the farthest waters known to men. I, Andrik, vow this upon my honor.
Kai didn't give a damn about honors, as long as Andrik would do what was expected of him.
Once again, he ran his hand over the banner, and his eyes adjusted to look at the Stats above it.
