Book 13: Chapter 55
I grabbed the collar of the individual before me and thundered, “Why did you attack us?! We didn’t harbour hostile intent toward you, nor did we have any intention of attacking you, so why did you attack us?!”
We didn’t intend to attack the ship, but it went and fired at us as soon as we came into sight. We immediately fired back. The size of our ships were very different, with ours being the bigger one. We were hit with a few shots, but that infuriated Nier. The crew, who thought they were safe, fell victim to panic. Our last shot stopped their ship dead on the water. Nier and the Valkyries boarded their ship and massacred everyone but their commander. Everyone else was kicked into the water.
“You are sailing in our region of the ocean! This is our region!” brayed the commander.
The commander wasn’t afraid. Instead, he shouted at me in the same language Ying spoke. Nier couldn’t understand him. Regardless, seeing the way he glared at me after being tied up, she gave him a kick from behind, putting him on his knees. She then slammed a foot down onto his head. The sound of his head colliding with the deck made me clench my teeth.
Lucia kicked his lower back from the other side. Nier grabbed him by his hair and gave him a hard punch to the face, dislocating his nose. He groaned and curled up on the ground. I stopped my two wives. I then crouched down and grabbed his hair. I looked straight at his face and seriously said, “You may not know this, but they say that a deck is an expansion of a nation’s land. You just yelled in the face of the King of the North, in his territory and acted rudely. Out of consideration for it being your first offense, I shall not kill you. Now, let me ask again, why did you attack us?”
“I… you… invaded…”
*Stab!*
“Argh!!!!!” grunted the commander, convulsing.
Nier’s sword went straight through the deck. A finger floated in the puddle of blood. She was very brutal with those who were rude to me or annoyed me. In the past, I would’ve lashed out at Nier after such brutality, but I had grown used to the blood and brutality. As a matter of fact, I was used to cries right in my face. I went through it all in Mommy Elizabeth’s dungeon.
