Book 19: Chapter 67
Ying and the crew weren’t familiar with Travest, Ikana’s imperial capital. They never formed any connections with her. However, nobody expected her to kidnap Vera. The ship cut through the waves and resolutely forged toward Travest at top speed. Ying stood on the deck and intently pinned her gaze on the end of the ocean. She wanted to immediately rescue her Princess from Travest. There was one fortunate note from Ikana taking Vera. At least, she wasn’t a violent pirate, implying she wouldn’t harm Vera.
The three remaining sisters sat in a room. Nona gently wiped her tears, while Liu Yue tightly clenched her fists on her knees and gritted her teeth in silence. The fur on her tail stood up. Furious, Liu Yue’s body shook; her regret and rage tormented her.
“I saw them. I saw them take my sister. Why am I so incompetent? Why didn’t I shout? Even if I couldn’t defeat them, had I shouted, Vera might not have been taken away,” Liu Yue reproached herself.
Daisy wiped her sword deliberately. There was no confusion or light in her eyes. She looked practically the exact same as her mother, but no wise man would bother her. Vera always disturbed her when she was with her dad, and she’d always reveal her inner thoughts to mock her, but she was always a good elder sister, one who cared for her. Daisy actually liked Vera a lot. The pain of having Vera kidnapped was one that she couldn’t tolerate. She had a genuine desire to kill deep down this time. She silently swore, “I’ll kill… all of them.”
Previously, Daisy wanted to prove herself. At the time, she felt killing somebody just to prove herself was what a brat would do. So accordingly, she couldn’t convince herself to deal the fatal blow. She, however, genuinely wanted to kill those who kidnapped Vera. She repeated in her mind, “I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them!”
Nona decided to be the first to break the prolonged silence. She declared, “I’m going to go rescue Vera. I won’t hide on the ship the this time. I’ll go save Vera even if I’m powerless and useless. I won’t hide on the ship.”
Liu Yue rose to her feet: “I’m going, of course. I’m definitely going! It was my fault. Had I screamed, had I gone to Vera a little sooner, had I transformed and pounced, Vera wouldn’t have been kidnapped. It was all my fault. I swear to bring Vera back! I can transform right now. I can swim much faster than the ship! I want to go there sooner. I’ll tear their imperial palace apart if that’s what I have to do to bring my sister back! Nobody, and I mean nobody, is allowed to bully my sister! Nobody!!!”
Daisy was shockingly calm. She took in a deep breath and sheathed her long sword. She coldly explained, “Calm down, Liu Yue. If you transform now, you’ll sink the ship. Additionally, if you transform and swim over there now, you’ll only make yourself a big and conspicuous target. Charging head first into a nation at them isn’t wise. Nevertheless, I support everything else you said. It doesn’t matter how many I have to kill. Nobody is allowed to hurt my family. Nobody. I’m mad this time. Very mad. I won’t cower. I’m taking my sister back!”
