Chapter List

Chapter 1 - The White Lady “You want to go out to sea?” The refreshing scent of salt filled the room. The white curtains were thrown open to let in the bright sunlight. The window gave a view of the never-ending blue sky, the calm green sea, and countless large ships. This mansion belonged to Sigrain, one of only four naval admirals belonging to the naval kingdom of Etruria. The beautiful woman sat in a long chair made from cool wicker. Her eyes were widened in surprise and she returned her teacup to the low table. Her eyes always had a kind smile in them and had long eyelashes, her scarlet lips formed an elegant smile, and her chin drew a gentle curve. Her long chestnut hair fell on her forehead and would normally have reached her waist on the back, but she wore it up so as not to get in the way of her work. She was an adult woman with an elegant and refined intelligence to her features. Her white dress was sleeveless and had a long skirt. A bold slit ran down the left slide and she wore a light pink cape over her round shoulders. It all had a very refreshing tropical design, but it contained delicate and detailed st.i.tching and she also wore earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet containing large pearls. She wore it all very casually, but her outfit was not that of a normal person. Her thick collarbone was visible along her broad shoulders and the large b.r.e.a.s.t.s supported by it pushed out the chest of her white dress. She seemed large for a woman both because her body itself was large and because she had a large presence. She had a gorgeously beautiful face, a calm aura, and a maternal kindness, but anyone who thought she was merely kind came to regret it. “Yeah, I’ve always wanted to go out to sea once I was as old as you when you became a sailor.” The boy sitting across the rosewood table nodded innocently. The handsome young boy looked so pure one feared a young woman with dangerous proclivities would kidnap him if he ever walked around town on his own. The bare legs extending from his shorts were dazzling. The owner of the room narrowed her eyes in bewilderment at that sight that was both a treat and a poison for an adult woman. At thirty-four, Sigrain was of course the youngest of the Etruria Kingdom’s naval admirals. She was also the only woman and she held the t.i.tle of countess. No normal person could hold such an important position so young. She was the type who could easily smile while doing cruel things. Her lively white skin left an impression on people, so her supporters called her the White Lady. Her opponents, however, called her the White Fox. In other words, one could never let their guard down around her because she had white skin on the outside, but dark intentions on the inside. But either way, everyone admitted she was not your average woman. Her intellectual and calm aura gave her the look of the perfect n.o.ble lady, but she was actually an unbelievably valiant woman. She had learned to put on the mask of an elegant adult woman, but in her youth, she had apparently been the most unmanageable person imaginable. She came from one of the most powerful families in the kingdom, but at just thirteen, she had essentially run away from home, disguised her ident.i.ty, and boarded a ship as a mere sailor. That was the beginning of what had become known as the Legend of Sigrain. She had made several legendary military accomplishments and it was said King Hazel of the neighboring Silvana Kingdom would tremble in fear if he so much as heard her name. Then again, that rumor was only found in the Etruria Kingdom, so its authenticity was uncertain. “Still, this is quite sudden.” “No, it isn’t. I’ve been planning his for a long time.” Sigrain elegantly tilted her head in front of the angry boy and asked a somewhat cruel but testing question. “Prince Ricardo, do you want to go out to sea because of your mother’s influence?” When the unmanageable Sigrain had gone out to sea as a sailor, she had met Eterna, a naval officer who just so happened to be on the same ship. Eterna had later become a mistress of King Sigismund and from there became Ricardo’s mother. The two women had been friends for twenty years. That was why Sigrain had known Ricardo since his birth. The boy himself always referred to her only as “Sigrain”. He had called her “Aunt Sigrain” just once, but she had traumatized him with a smiling double slap to the face. The ability to a.s.sault a prince with no repercussions showed just how powerful Sigrain was. “No, I’m going to be made a retainer in the future. When that happens, I want to make a name for myself in the navy like you did.” Ricardo had three far older brothers and five far older sisters, so sitting on the throne was a near impossibility for him. So in the near future, he was most likely going to be lowered to the position of retainer instead. And while childishly thinking about his future, he had called on his reliable “aunt”. “So I want to start now by hiding my ident.i.ty and becoming a sailor like you did.” Sigrain had been a girl, so she had needed to essentially run away from home, hide her ident.i.ty, and sneak aboard the ship. As a result, she had been given a crash course in the basics of controlling a ship, which had paid off in a big way down the road. Ricardo was a boy, so no one would argue much if he said he wanted to go out to sea. But he did not want to be decorated as a royal. It was an admirable amount of resolve. “And I was thinking about the future of the Etruria Kingdom when I decided this.” His childishly insistent opinion elicited a bitter smile and motivated the elegant lady to ask more. “What makes you think that, Your Highness? Can you tell me what you honestly think?” “Sure.” Ricardo glanced over at the green sea visible out the window. Due to that heart-cleansing beauty, it was known as the Jade Sea. But that beauty was deceptive. It was a sea of ambition, where the interests of the coastal kingdoms were complexly intertwined. Many naval kingdoms of various size bordered the Jade Sea, some port cities viewed themselves as independent cities, and there were plenty in the sea that were essentially pirates. In this age of war, the sea was no different from land. Fault was found over minor transgressions in naval territory and many people would risk their lives to protect those territories. In that way, the Etruria Kingdom was just one of the larger naval kingdoms. “I know you’re the last person who needs to be told this, Sigrain, but this is an age of war. Our kingdom needs to increase its territory eventually, but we can’t make any progress on land.” “Oh, and why is that?” “The situation is far too different from when you fought Queen Vishnu.” The kingdom bordering Etruria to the north was Sabrina. Sigrain’s name would forever be spoken of in the kingdom after she had driven back an invasion by Vishnu, the Sabrina Kingdom’s fierce queen. Lord Bellrick, a nephew of the king who everyone had expected to be a great young general of the Etrurian army, had been caught in a trap by a female Sabrina Kingdom tactician named Shariera and his small castle had been nearly conquered. That was when Sigrain had arrived with a thirteen-ship fleet to save him. The tables had turned on Queen Vishnu and she had nearly been defeated, so she had ended her invasion and retreated. Belzeia, veteran general of the Sabrina Kingdom, had commanded the rear guard so perfectly that the Etruria Kingdom had never managed a definitive victory, but the story of that battle was one of the most famous sagas told of by the bards and Sigrain had become a hero known the kingdom over. After narrowly avoiding death, Queen Vishnu had praised Sigrain’s skill and said she wanted her as a part of her own army. And immediately after the battle, Sigrain had shocked the kingdom by marrying Bellrick, the royal she had rescued. However, they had divorced after only three months, so most considered it to have only ever been a romance and not a true marriage. Sigrain’s private life had shocked the kingdom, but the later actions of Queen Vishnu, who was seen as her rival, had surprised the people even more. She had invaded the northern mountain kingdom of Orsini, been driven back again, fallen in love with Selune, the tactician who had commanded the force that defeated her, and had forcibly married him. Then, Queen Malicia of the Orsini Kingdom had also fallen in love with Selune and had also forcibly married him. The unexpected double marriage had combined the Sabrina and Orsini Kingdoms into the Orsini-Sabrina Double Kingdom. No one knew what was going to happen in this age of war. From the perspective of a neighboring kingdom, the great changes tended to be truly unexpected. In a single night, the greatest kingdom on the south end of the continent had been born. That was exactly the sort of unexpected development this age of upheaval had become known for. “We can’t defeat the Orsini-Sabrina Double Kingdom.” “That’s quite a bold statement.” Sigrain tried to make a reb.u.t.tal while elegantly sipping at her tea. “The double kingdom structure was never feasible. And increasing their territory only increased the number of kingdoms they border. Most of our advisors are convinced they will have their hands tied fighting all of those kingdoms.” “I think that’s an unrealistic theory. First of all, we only drove back Vishnu before because of the naval power you commanded. If we were to attack the double kingdom, we wouldn’t have the help of the navy. That’s like fighting with our dominant hand tied behind our back.” Sigrain observed the boy with the cool-headedness of an examiner as he tried to convince her. “The most we can do is make sure we don’t lose. And if we rely on an allied kingdom, we’ll gain little and it will just waste our time. Plus, if we take too long, the Domos Kingdom rumored to be advancing like a starving wolf in the north will move south and take advantage of the situation.” “I see. Then do you have a solution, Your Highness?” Ricardo did not hesitate to answer. “We should ally with the double kingdom.” “To make the Orsini-Sabrina-Etruria Triple Kingdom? That’s a tad long, don’t you think?” Sigrain smiled bitterly and Ricardo shook his hand. “I’m not saying I want one of my sisters or nieces to become Selune’s third queen. We just have to ally with them so they’ll look elsewhere.” “But it seems that power-hungry Vishnu wants access to the sea, so do you really think she would overlook us?” “It’s true she probably wants that, but she won’t attack Etruria right away with her kingdom’s internal issues and their conflicts with the surrounding kingdoms. We can ally with each other, trade for things we want, and build up our strength. Meanwhile, Etruria will conquer the Jade Sea. We can wait until after that to think up a way to face the double kingdom.” Sigrain brought her narrow eyebrows together and some slight interest appeared on her face. “That is certainly an ambitious idea.” “Whether we fight them or ally with them, ruling the sea will help us in any number of ways. The sea is home for Etruria, so we’ll never lose there. We’re not known as the Rulers of the Southern Sea for nothing.” “That is an excellent idea.” Ricardo gave an embarra.s.sed blush at the earnest nod she gave him. “Sorry for speaking out of turn, but even I understand this much. I’m sure you already knew all of that.” The woman admiral did not reply. Someone in a public position could not speak about public policy so easily. I’m sure father and my brothers will change the kingdom’s policy before long. From there, the navy will be the star. And if I’m going to fight, I want to do something that will get me known as a hero like you did. So I want to learn everything from the beginning as a sailor and I thought getting your help would be the best way to do that.” The worldly woman chose her words carefully before this big-headed and ignorant boy. “I suppose you have a point…” “Then you’ll put me on a ship?” Ricardo leaned forward in obvious excitement, but Sigrain gave a thoughtful look as her eyes moved up and down his body. Finally, she gave a determined nod. “I think it’s a very interesting idea. If you’ve given this that much thought and you want to become acquainted with ships, I see no reason to object. The one problem…is your age.” “But you-…” “I was an exception.” Ricardo’s look made it clear the lady’s immediate rejection seemed unfair, so she smiled and held out a hand to stop him. “I will give you my permission if you can prove you are a man.” “Prove I’m a man?”
Chapter 2 - The Red-Haired Pirate “Excellent work.” The radiant sun shined in the clear blue sky. The glittering jade color of the sea continued for as far as the eye could see. The large ship named the South Sea Falcon sailed calmly in the s.p.a.ce between the two. The ample wind filled the sails and the ship raced along the great sea with shocking magnificence. It almost looked like the ruler of the sea. However, the deck was scorching hot and it felt like standing on a frying pan. Magic jewels could only produce so much cool air, so sweat seemed to cascade down the sailors. It seemed female sailors simply did not wear bras. The sweat plastered their thin clothing to their bare skin, so both the curves of their b.r.e.a.s.t.s and the protrusions of their nipples were fully revealed. They might have acted differently with men around, but this was a women’s ship. The only male aboard was a boy who did not really count, so they felt no need to worry about their appearance. Ricardo often had no idea where to look when half-naked young women and girls were wandering around. As the lowest ranked sailor, he was not given a magic jewel to help cool himself, so he desperately focused on his mopping to give him somewhere to look and to distract himself from the heat. The next thing he knew, Captain Isis was watching him work. She was most likely in the middle of an inspection around the ship. She was the one exception among the other half-naked women. She wore the blue coat, white pants, and white scarf of her naval officer’s uniform impeccably. Plus, she did not look even slightly warm. In fact, her cool stoic att.i.tude made her seem almost inhuman. Ricardo a.s.sumed she was simply trained differently. She also scolded her subordinates with a harsh look in her eyes, so no one wanted to get near her. When she approached, tension filled the entire area. That att.i.tude meant none of the crew adored her, but no one doubted her abilities. She did a splendid job of treating Ricardo just like everyone else without giving any hint to his true ident.i.ty. “Keep it up.” With that quick statement of encouragement, Isis walked away. She had a gallant gait and looked like the perfect example of a woman soldier. Ricardo sat entranced watching her leave, but then he let out a surprised shout. Something cold had touched the back of his neck. He turned around to find Marion with a mischievous smile and a gla.s.s of magically-cooled orange juice. “Here, take a break.” Life on the sea was unavoidably lacking in vegetables, so they needed rum to make up for it. The crew was always supplied rum during meals. It was a life-or-death issue, so the sailors were justified in staging a mutiny if the rum supply stopped. But for the young apprentice sailors, orange juice was supplied instead. It was normally provided only at mealtimes, though. Ricardo was confused until he saw Marion’s friends Martha and Jimmy hanging out in the shade of the mast. Jimmy, the one with more stereotypical beauty, pressed a finger to her lips to tell him to keep this a secret. She had apparently used her authority as a cook apprentice to treat her friends. And now Marion was giving him an extra. That young boss worked him like a dog and shouted relentless abuse while he was training as a sailor, but she was generally a nice girl. He thanked her, took a gulp of the drink, and pressed the cold gla.s.s to his forehead. Marion sat on the edge of the ship. In order to enjoy the cool breeze as much as possible, she spread the healthy legs extending from her shorts and pulled out the chest of the shirt plastered to her skin. She clearly did not think of Ricardo as a member of the opposite s.e.x, but her healthy s.e.xuality was dazzling to the adolescent boy. He blushed meaninglessly and looked in a different direction. Marion must have figured out what his behavior meant because a mischievous smile appeared on her lips and she spoke. “I get why you’d fall for the captain, but you don’t have a chance with her no matter how bad you want her. She’d never give a kid like you the time of day.” “That isn’t it!” Realizing that this girl was terribly mistaken, he looked back to her and defiantly rejected the idea. Her white eyes glittered on her tanned skin as she peered at the boy in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Really? But I’d heard you ended up a.s.signed to this ship because you’d fallen in love with Captain Isis and wouldn’t take no for an answer.” “That isn’t it. I don’t know why I was put on this ship either.” “Fine, let’s just leave it that.” Marion had not actually believed the rumor; she was just having fun teasing the younger boy. Ricardo decided getting any more worked up would only make things worse, so he sipped at the yellow liquid and changed the subject. “More importantly, we’re hunting down a pirate, right? I wonder what kind of person this Scarlet woman is.” “…!” Marion stared at Ricardo as if she could not believe what she had just heard. “What is it?” “I’d suspected you had a sheltered upbringing, but it’s worse than I thought.” “Is it weird not to know that?” asked Ricardo with a tilt of his head. “Yes,” definitively declared Marion. She was so confident that he was not sure what to say and took a swig of his orange juice instead. Deciding she had found an interesting topic for discussion, Marion waved her friends over. “Martha, Jimmy, listen to this. This boy’s never heard of Scarlet.” “Eh? You really haven’t heard of her? What kind of backwoods did you come from to have never heard of Scarlet the Good Pirate?” “Oh, my. You really are ignorant of the world, aren’t you?” Magician Apprentice Martha and Cook Apprentice Jimmy surrounded him as if they had found a rare creature. Marion raised a finger in front of his nose and began explaining as if it was her duty as his boss. “Surely even someone as ignorant as you has heard of Lady Sigrain, commander of the navy’s fourth fleet.” “Yes, of course.” He could hardly tell them he knew every inch of her body. (She has silky smooth skin and huge b.o.o.bs. And her rough p.u.s.s.y really squeezes down on you. Plus, she gets such a lewd look on her face when she’s h.o.r.n.y. You’d never be able to imagine that look if you’d only seen her normal composed look.) Simply hearing Sigrain’s name reminded him of that pleasure that sweetly melted his body and soul, so blood reflexively began gathering in his p.e.n.i.s. “When Lady Sigrain was sailing her ship around fighting on the front lines, the two standing on either side of her were Captain Isis and Scarlet.” “Eh!?” Ricardo was so surprised he almost dropped his precious orange juice. The three young girls smiled in satisfaction at his reaction and began telling him plenty more. “Strict Isis and open-minded Scarlet achieved countless military victories as a golden duo who worked in perfect harmony.” After Marion’s explanation, Martha raised her index finger to explain further. “Captain Isis was more the intellectual commander while Scarlet was the fierce general. She always handled leading the charge.” “During the battle to fight off Sabrina, she even fought Queen Vishnu in single combat.” Jimmy folded her hands and spoke dreamily about it, but Martha scolded her for it. “That’s from the saga sung by the bards. You don’t know it’s true.” “But it’s still a famous scene every bard makes sure to include.” The usually obedient Jimmy grew defiant for once and Marion decided to intervene. “Now, I don’t know if it’s true either, but it has that romantic allure because Scarlet and Vishnu probably would have done that.” “That’s true.” Martha agreed with a bitter smile and Jimmy continued to stubbornly insist it was true. Scarlet was apparently an incredibly famous female warrior. Ricardo was left in a daze because he had only known it was Sigrain’s skill that had driven back Vishnu and he had not known who had fought under her. Plus, the girls’ voices showed no hint of hatred toward the woman for being a pirate. In fact, it was obvious they looked up to her. “Wh-why did someone that incredible become a pirate?” Ricardo’s voice was nearly cracking and the three girls exchanged a glance. “She was caught up in some military mistake and about to be thrown in jail for something she didn’t do, so she ran off, right?” “Eh? I’d heard some lecherous old admiral tried to use his authority to get at her body, so she beat the snot out of him. After that, it was awkward for her in the navy, so she left.” “No, Lady Scarlet was a free spirit through and through, so she couldn’t get used to the strict navy and set sail for the freedom of the open sea.” Marion, Martha, and Jimmy each had a different answer, so the legend had apparently taken on a life of its own, leaving the truth in the shadows. “But whatever she used to be, she’s a pirate now. They drive down the supply of items we need to live, causing the prices to skyrocket. Isn’t that a problem for everyone?” “That’s why people call you a kid.” Marion could not have been more than two years his elder, but she tried to act like his big sister. “The Jade Sea is a complicated mess of territories belonging to various kingdoms, so regular navies can’t protect it properly. That’s why merchant ships pay a travel fee to the pirates that control each region of sea for safe pa.s.sage through.” “Eh!?” Ricardo was left speechless by this truth he had never even imagined. (That’s what’s happening on this sea!?) He felt a little dizzy as his idea of pirates was turned on its head. If he did not know that tacit understanding of the sea, then he may really have been an ignorant child who Marion and the others were justified in teasing. “And Scarlet does an excellent job of controlling those pirates. She crushes any pirate groups that get too nasty. I know we shouldn’t be saying this, but she might help out the common folk a lot more than the navy.” Most pirates were actually merchants with secret connections to people with political power. But Scarlet used her piracy to crush those crooked merchants and corrupt government officials. So rather than causing trouble for the commoners, she helped them out quite a bit. Also, she apparently avoided killing people so she could take them prisoner and release them for ransom money. That behavior had made her intensely popular among the commoners on the Jade Sea’s coast. “The sea around here looks pretty, but it’s completely empty on the inside~♪” Marion cheerfully said something very serious. “The morning really is the most relaxing time of day.” Ricardo was enjoying the cool morning after climbing the mast as the lookout. It was his tenth day onboard, so his body was growing accustomed to his new life and he was finding he could relax more. A morning fog left him with poor visibility today, so he decided making a serious effort would be a waste of time and thought back on his shipboard life instead. On a ship, they kept moving even without doing a thing, so it had seemed easy at first. However, Captain Isis had made sure the crew was never goofing off. They had to clean the ship, train, and mend the sails and nets, so there was no shortage of things to do. That should have been nothing but monotonous work, but she also made sure it never got old and maintained the crew’s morale. It made sense that she was Sigrain’s right-hand man and Ricardo respected her as someone he could learn from. He sighed as his thoughts also reached the other woman who was also said to have been a trusted follower of Sigrain’s. “The good pirate, hm? I don’t like the sound of that.” Pirates were criminals, so there was a problem with the kingdom if one of them was known as a “good pirate” and gathering popularity among the commoners. “The Jade Sea is a tie-dyed sea. The small kingdoms and pirates gather in groups and someone is always spilling new blood somewhere, hm? I can see how the commoners wouldn’t like that. Are father and my brothers and sisters not thinking about uniting this sea to bring peace and prosperity to everyone? That seems like it would benefit us a lot more than getting caught up in the fight over the double kingdom on land.” The boy’s confidence in his personal theory was growing, but then he heard a pleasant sound coming from somewhere. “Hm? What’s that sound?” He cleared his ears and tilted his head. “That’s an ocarina.” It was a high-pitched flute-like sound, so one of the sailors may have been playing it. While they were young and beautiful, they had all seemed too unrefined for this sort of elegance, but there had apparently been an exception. “It’s a little rough, but it’s a powerful and clear sound.” They were not as skilled as one of the court musicians, but the intensity more than made up for that. As he lost himself in the sound, it gradually grew louder. And instead of rising from below, it was coming from straight ahead. That meant the musician was not on the ship. “!?”
Chapter 3 - Rough Life on the Ship “Zzz…ah! Eh? M-Marion? What are you doing!?” Ricardo was astonished when he woke up in the middle of the night. He was in a single large room that all the sailors used to get some rest. The captain and other officers were given private rooms, but the lowly sailors were forced into this large room where they slept in hammocks. The South Sea Falcon obviously did not have a boy’s room, so he slept in the same room as the female sailors. He was exhausted from work that day, so he had been trying to get some rest in a hammock wearing the white tank top and white shorts he used for pajamas. But when he woke up to an odd sensation, he saw a head wrapped in an emerald green cloth sticking up from the right. The real surprise was that his shorts had been removed and Marion was sucking his d.i.c.k. “Oh, you’re finally awake.” Marion removed the p.e.n.i.s from her mouth and smiled happily at him. Magical light dim enough to not interfere with anyone’s sleep illuminated the energetic young girl in her emerald green head cloth, thin blue shirt, and orange shorts. “I needed you for something and you wouldn’t wake up, so I decided to get a quick taste.” “D-don’t suck my d.i.c.k like you’re grabbing a midnight snack!” “Why not? It’s not hurting anything♪” Ricardo grew tearful because he was so shaken by being attacked in his sleep, but Marion did not back down. “This thing’s pretty amazing. We sucked you completely dry last night, but it’s already ready to go again.” Marion lovingly played with the male organ as it stood tall, soaked in her saliva. “Ahh, ahh… U-um, so what did you need me for?” Ricardo writhed from the pleasure of the handjob, but just barely maintained enough awareness to ask his question. Marion actually blushed for once, pointlessly rubbed at her trademark head cloth, and let her gaze wander. When she did speak, it was somewhat awkwardly. “Yes, about that… Um, well, do you want to have s.e.x with me?” “…” An indescribable stillness fell over the entire area, but Ricardo finally opened his mouth. “Th-this is sudden.” Marion must have been feeling some embarra.s.sment as a girl because she fidgeted. The lines of her body were perfectly visible through her blue shirt and that included the b.u.mps of her nipples. “I mean, you’re interested in doing it, aren’t you?” She seemed sensitive to the fact that his gaze was drawn to her chest and she leaned forward to show off her youthful body. “Especially after what you did with us…”
Chapter 4 - Defeat During the South Sea Falcon’s voyage, it came across a desert island with pristine sandy beaches. Lush green trees had weighty fruits handing from them, so it was truly a tropical paradise. The ship customarily stopped at the island for a short break whenever pa.s.sing by, so they were disembarking for about half a day of time off. “Nnnnnn.” After setting foot on solid ground for the first time in a while, Ricardo raised his arms and stretched. When he looked around, he saw Marion and the other young sailors stripped half naked and shrieking as they played in the waves. “They all have so much energy.” He had gotten used to his work on the ship and had built up the strength he needed to complete it comfortably with energy left to spare, but once that spare energy was drained by the girls and young women, he ended up back at square one. Not even those h.o.r.n.y girls were asking for s.e.x today. They could enjoy s.e.x with him during their normal breaks on the ship, so there was no need to do so when they had a chance to actually spread their wings. He could not help but watch the lovely girls as they raised their voices and jumped around. (They look like fairies. And their p.u.s.s.ies feel so good.) That thought was enough for his p.e.n.i.s to harden. If Marion and the others saw him like this, who could say what they would say or make him do. He wanted to give his p.e.n.i.s a break for one day at least, so he began wandering the desert island to keep himself from watching the sailors who had become his s.e.x friends. After a while, he came across a rocky area rising up like a fan. As he searched around that area, he discovered something of a cave. He set foot inside like a mole trying to escape the sun. His skin had been tanned by the hot south sea sun, so the tunnel air felt a little chilly. He continued walking without fear and found himself on a white beach. He saw the blue sea ahead and tall rock walls to his left and right. It was a small cove. He could no longer hear the lively cries of the sailors, so the crashing waves were the only noticeable sound. Ricardo had grown sick of never being alone on the enclosed ship, so he lay down as soon as he found this perfect spot. After dozing for a bit, he heard well-regulated footsteps approaching and someone appeared from the cave. “Captain.” “This is where you were, Ricardo?” It was Isis in her blue coat, white pants, and white scarf. Her iron mask of a face showed a hint of surprise as she came to a stop. “But this was my secret spot…” “Sorry.” Once he realized this was the captain’s hideout, Ricardo quickly prepared to leave, but she stopped him. “I do not mind. Stay there.” She sat next to him in her blue military uniform. He had difficulty relaxing next to that strict and diligent captain. “…” Unable to bear the heavy atmosphere, he hesitantly opened his mouth. “U-um, I heard you and Scarlet used to be friends…” “We were not friends. While we have known each other for a very long time, our personalities are nearly incompatible and we were never able to speak on very friendly terms.” Isis’s chestnut eyes stared out to sea. “I would nap here on my own while she and the others would sing, dance, and generally make a racket.” “Really?” “I will admit she was a worthy rival. Lady Sigrain clearly tried to pit us against each other to better use us.” Isis grabbed some of the beach sand and let the wind carry it away. Ricardo may have vanished in her mind, so she was simply speaking her mind. Ricardo decided to stay quiet. “I was constantly focused on her and I a.s.sumed she was on me. While we never spoke on friendly terms, I believed we understand what the other was thinking when we did occasionally see each other.” She collapsed onto her back and looked up into the blue sky. “But it would seem I was the only one that thought that. I never imagined she would stoop to becoming a pirate. …Not even I know why she left the navy, but I do wonder why she didn’t try to rely on me before doing so. That frustrates me the most.” She defenselessly closed her eyes. Ricardo’s eyes were subconsciously drawn to her feminine beauty. The body contained within her blue coat and white pants was not as mature as Sigrain’s, but she was more of an adult than Marion and the other girls. He normally shrank back from the intensity in her eyes and did not have it in him to leer at her like this, but now that he actually got a good look at her, he found she had a nice body. Her face had a hard sort of beauty, her skin was as smooth as porcelain, and her thin lips were quite attractive. “Lady Sigrain is a lot like Scarlet. She must have hoped that Scarlet would be her successor rather than me.” “I doubt that. You’re an excellent captain, Isis. …Um, I think you can be proud you won the position of successor over Scarlet.” He sounded serious, but Ricardo’s eyes were drawn to the plentiful bulges below the chest of the captain’s blue uniform. (She isn’t as big as Sigrain, but she’s bigger than Marion and the others. Is this what you call the perfect size? I bet it is.) “I have not fallen so far I need to be comforted by a child.” Isis suddenly opened her eyes while Ricardo was still observing her b.r.e.a.s.t.s so closely he almost had his face buried in them. She stared at him while he tensed up with fear, but she finally gave a light sigh and reached out to touch his cheek. “I had heard boys your age are like monkeys in heat, and it would seem that’s true. I let my guard down for a moment and this is what you do?” “S-sorry.” He could not let his perverted side out around this captain. He paled as he recalled intellectual Martha’s warning that she would “chop his d.i.c.k off”. “Honestly, to think someone this cute would be such a womanizer.” “A womanizer?” “Did you really think I wouldn’t notice when you were doing it that much?” He could almost hear the blood receding from his face when he found out Isis knew about his orgies with the sailors. “S-sorry.” “I wasn’t accusing you of anything. You’re free to do whatever you want during your breaks.” Isis smiled bitterly in front of the frightened boy. “What was Lady Sigrain thinking sending such an adorable little boy to a ship like that? She might as well have thrown a lamb to a pack of starving wolves. She should have known this would happen.” “…” Ricardo did not know what to say. He looked to her face as he tried to find the words, but he noticed something strange. Her transparent-looking cheeks were flushed and her normally sharp eyes were damp. It was the look women gave when they were h.o.r.n.y. His recent s.e.xual experiences had taught him that all women felt l.u.s.t. Isis would be no exception. He instinctively realized she might let him do it now, so he hesitantly spoke his mind. “Um, Isis? Will you have s.e.x with me?” “…Eh?” Isis looked caught off guard, but her expression quickly recovered. “Is that a command as a royal?” “No. I’m only one of the South Sea Falcon’s sailors right now, so this is a personal request. You’re just so attractive I want to do it.” She looked a little troubled. She appeared to hesitate, but that was likely only for show. “C’mon, can’t we?” When the boy innocently pressed her, the military woman’s white cheeks grew red and she meaninglessly touched her black hair. “If you insist. Lady Sigrain asked that I make you into a proper sailor and a proper man. If you want to test your manhood with my body, I suppose that would be fine.”
Chapter 5 - Pirate Stronghold “It’s a filthy place, but try to feel at home as you can.” Female Pirate Scarlet brought only Ricardo and Isis onto her ship and generously let the others and their ship go free. The more prisoners, the more effort needed to manage them, so she had only held onto the most valuable ones. Before being transported, Ricardo and Isis had been allowed to put their pants on, but that was only to make sure they did not catch a fever or something while being transported. There was no need to thank her and being taken prisoner was humiliating enough on its own. However, even that “kindness” only went so far. Isis’s panties and bra had been deemed too sandy to use, so despite wearing the blue coat and white pants of the consummate naval officer, the b.u.mps of her nipples were visible on her chest and her dark pubic hair showed through the crotch of her pants. Those gaps showing through in her strict military uniform were unbelievably erotic. This had to bring her shame as a soldier, but she seemed to be bearing with the shame to fulfill her duty to protect the prince. Sensing that, Ricardo made sure he remained composed. The pirate ship carried the two of them to the pirate island where Scarlet had her base. Of course, they had not been allowed to see outside the ship, so they had no way of knowing where it was. Still, the pirate island had to be one of the islands in the Jade Sea. The pure blue sky shined down on them after disembarking and they were led not to a cell but to a decently equipped room. It felt like the private room of a low-level royal or n.o.ble. It had lovely curtains, wicker chairs, a large table, and other luxurious furnishings. But given where they were, it was all undoubtedly stolen. Also, the building was built at an elevated location, so it looked down on a breathtaking view. They saw the Jade Sea glittered in the distance, a disordered gathering of small huts set up for the pirates to live in, lush tropical trees, and bright red flowers. The fragrant wind carried the sweet and sour scent of fruit. “This is my room.” Dressed in black and gold, Scarlet sat in a chair with a glance over at her speechless prisoners. The prisoners were also urged to sit. Neither of them was bound, but they were an unarmed woman and child. The pirates had likely decided they were not a threat. And that was a fact, not just contempt. Even if they did manage to escape, there were pirates everywhere. The situation was not yet so desperate that they felt the need to steal a ship the two of them could use and then escape the island without knowing where in the sea they were. They would eventually be freed after the ransom was paid. “Rose, you don’t do anyone any good just standing there, so bring us something to drink.” After Scarlet clapped her hands and gave an order, a girl in an old-fashioned beige dress carried out a silver tray holding some snacks. She had to still be in her teenage years, her black hair had a bob cut, her skin was white, she was skinny, and she had small b.r.e.a.s.t.s. She was beautiful, but those looks were ruined by a look of displeasure. She had been by Scarlet’s side during the entire voyage on the pirate ship, so she was likely an aide. Ricardo was focused on her not because she was his type but because she was giving him an oddly hostile glare. She set Scarlet’s gla.s.s down carefully, Isis’s normally, and Ricardo’s carelessly. Scarlet’s contained a strong drink, Isis’s a red wine, and Ricardo’s orange juice. They were also served m.u.f.fins and stinky cheese. Ricardo glanced over at the violent ripples in his gla.s.s and asked a hesitant question. “Um…did I do something to you?” “No!” Rose’s tone made it clear there was more to it than that, but she said nothing more. He was unsure how to respond to that unapproachable att.i.tude, but Scarlet held a hand to her forehead and laughed at the exchange. “Ah hah hah hah. Sorry, prince. She can never hide her jealousy whenever I speak with a man.” “Eh?”
Chapter 6 - Dreaming of Ruling the South Sea “It really has been too long, Scarlet. I didn’t want to be reunited like this, though.” “I couldn’t agree more, Sigrain.” Oddly enough, the location was the desert island where Ricardo and Isis had been taken prisoner. With the white sandy beach and jade-colored water, the island was as beautiful as ever. The Etruria Kingdom’s famous admiral spoke with an elegance of voice and expression that befitted her nickname of the White Lady and the fierce pirate woman agreed from the bottom of her heart. Scarlet wore her black and gold bustier and deep red skirt, but she was bound with leather straps and seated on the beach. Sigrain wore a white dress and light pink cape as she stood next to the pirate, looking down at her. The sea breeze blew her long skirt, revealing the while legs within the bold slit on the side. It was a humiliating position for Scarlet because it almost felt like she was being told to lick the woman’s feet. Behind her, Rose (who was looking as displeased as ever) and around one hundred other pirate women and girls were bound and seated just like their leader. Standing next to the admiral woman, Ricardo gave a meek look while dressed in a princely outfit of shorts and a shirt made of white silk and gold thread. Standing protectively on the other side of Sigrain, Isis wore her naval officer’s uniform impeccably. The nearly one hundred twenty female sailors of the South Sea Falcon stood behind those three with frightening looks on their faces. Circ.u.mstances were the exact opposite of ten days before. “You really got me here. That’s the White Fox for you.” Scarlet tried to raise her hands in a symbol of surrender, but she remembered her arms were bound and shrugged instead. Sigrain gave a graceful rather than prideful smile. “Scarlet, you seem to be mistaken about something. I was not the one to come up with this plan.” “Hm?” The pirate woman frowned and the admiral placed her hands on the prince’s shoulders. “Prince Ricardo was the one who plotted to capture you. I was only a p.a.w.n obeying his instructions.” “…What do you mean?” Since her former subordinate seemed confused, Sigrain explained in more detail. “When Prince Ricardo revealed his ident.i.ty to you, he was only setting the stage for this plan.” When the crew of the South Sea Falcon had been captured and forced to surrender, Ricardo had voluntarily revealed he was a prince. He and Captain Isis had been the only ones there who knew his ident.i.ty and he had known that natural-born military woman was too loyal to talk. As long as he had stayed quiet, he would have been captured along with the rest of the crew and released with the rest of them when the kingdom paid the ransom. That would not have caused him to lose face as a prince. There had been no real reason for him to chivalrously name himself there. “You should have thought a little more about why Prince Ricardo went out of his way to reveal his ident.i.ty and increase the likely ransom money by a hundredfold.” Sigrain rubbed her cheek against Ricardo as if she could not restrain her love for him, but he only squirmed uncomfortably. “When I heard about the incident form the crew of the South Sea Falcon, it hit me. After all, my prince is such a smart little boy.” She narrowed her eyes and freely praised him, but that only embarra.s.sed him. When Admiral Sigrain had learned that Fourth Prince Ricardo and Captain Isis had been abducted by Pirate Woman Scarlet and that a ransom was being demanded, she had immediately decided to pay it. However, there was still the matter of the kingdom’s pride. To keep it all a secret, Sigrain had paid from her own pocket. She had prepared a sum of money that could buy a small city and handed it over to Rose who had appeared as the pirates’ representative. And of course, she had not tried to follow the girl. Once the gold coins were confirmed to be real, Isis and Ricardo had been freed. Secret dealings between an outlaw group and a kingdom was a dishonorable thing, but it was far from rare. However, this particular incident had then strayed from the norm. The pirates had been delighted with the kind of money they could never earn through normal piracy. It was the sad story of the poor. When people gain more money than they know what to do with, they end up partying. And it was impossible to stop in an unregulated criminal organization like a pirate crew. Plus, Scarlet tended to play the big sister role, so she could be favorably described as tolerant and unfavorably described as irresponsible. She had not interfered with her subordinates’ merrymaking. From there, it had not been difficult to use an intermediary to determine their ident.i.ty and location. As a result, the location of Scarlet’s pirate fortress island had been revealed. That island had become an earthly paradise buried in gold, silver, and jewels, filled with high-quality alcohol, and served by the finest male prost.i.tutes. A naval fleet commanded by Sigrain had attacked during one of the sweet nights there. They had rounded up the pirates with barely any fighting. After being given more money than they had ever seen, the pirates had let their guard down and had the tables turned on them. That was the plan Ricardo had thought up. It had been a spectacular success, but it had been little more than a simple bit of psychological warfare. His sense of aesthetics told him true honor came from slaying the enemy fair and square in a naval battle, so he was not too proud of his victory. In fact, he was more impressed by Sigrain’s ability to grasp his intent and act accordingly when she was simply told the situation. “You were fooled by his adorable appearance and misread what was hidden beneath the skin.” Sigrain gave Scarlet a look of scorn, but her eyes grew amorous when they turned toward Ricardo. Ricardo could not keep his cheeks from flushing. That was partly due to his embarra.s.sment over her lavish praise, but it also had to do with her air of adult s.e.xuality. He had slept with quite a few women now, but none of them could match that aura of hers. Simply smelling the mixture of her sweet perfume and her natural scent caused his blood to reflexively flow into his p.e.n.i.s. “Eh heh heh. My prince looks so cute, but he has quite the naughty c.o.c.k.” Ricardo panicked when she spotted the tent in his pants, but Sigrain smiled as if it was no big deal. “I’m sure you had fun with those equally naughty women while you were held prisoner.” Sigrain glanced over at Pirate Woman Scarlet and Captain Isis. One had stooped to piracy and the other had been outdone by a pirate. They were both unworthy protégées. Isis lowered her head in shame and Scarlet looked the other way. “It would seem they both fell for your charm, my prince. With a cute face like that, one would think you could never a hurt a fly, but you’re actually quite the lady killer.” Sigrain acted like she knew exactly what sort of “fun” Scarlet and Isis had used Ricardo for. She knew their personalities so well, it was possible she could make some very good guesses. “Did having s.e.x with those two feel good?” “…Y-yes.” Ricardo could not lie in front of her, so he answered honestly despite the embarra.s.sment. Sigrain then whispered another question in his ear. “Then what did you think of f.u.c.king every last girl on the South Sea Falcon?” “E-every last one…?” The ship had a crew of more than one hundred. Even Ricardo felt unchaste when it came to numbers that large. He shrank down in shame at the fact that she suspected that, but she whispered sweetly in his ear. “But you tasted them all, didn’t you?” He looked to the faces of the crew again. He knew them all. He could recall the shape of their b.r.e.a.s.t.s, b.u.t.ts, and v.a.g.i.n.as, and he remembered the unique tightness each one had brought to his manhood. The girls’ gazes stabbed into him and he could not rudely deny it now. “Y-yes. They all felt amazing…” He was ashamed by his own lack of morals, but Sigrain gently cheered him up. “There is nothing to be ashamed of. Every last one of them was placed on that ship for you.” “Eh!? What do you mean!?” Ricardo looked shocked and Sigrain changed the subject with an elegant smile. “Now, Scarlet. The traditional punishment for piracy is hanging. Are you prepared?” “Eh!? Wait! That’s way too sudden…” Ricardo panicked from a new shock. He thought he had to have misheard because Sigrain’s n.o.ble expression seemed far too calm. What she said may have been true, but wasn’t that too heartless when it came to a former subordinate? Daunted, he looked to Isis, but the captain retained her obedient look. He looked to Scarlet, but she just looked disappointed. Even so, the prince hesitantly attempted to argue. “Um, I don’t think you’re wrong about that, but…Miss Scarlet doesn’t seem like that much of a villain. Um…she’s apparently known as a good pirate, so isn’t there any way to spare her?” Even if it had been forced, he had slept with her many times and pumped a fair amount of c.u.m inside her, so he felt like he knew her fairly well. He knew this was a hopeless request, so he did not sound very confident. But the woman bluntly shot down her prince. “How naïve.” “…” Ricardo was stunned speechless as those beautiful eyes pierced him. Sigrain always seemed composed, but she must have had difficulty stomaching this. While Ricardo used his brain to its fullest in search of an argument, Sigrain placed a finger of her left hand on her slender chin to feign thought. “But you have a point. Her skills as a sailor are top-notch. This sequence of events has unfortunately proven that she is more skilled than Isis.” Isis instantly took a step forward and kneeled in front of her commander. “My apologies. If you will show mercy and allow me a chance to redeem myself, I will make up for this failure with an even greater success.” Sigrain answered her loyal subordinate’s strict apology with a simple “I’ll hold you to that” and then looked down at her former subordinate with a meaningful look. “It would be a waste to kill her here. And if you insist we spare her life, my prince, there is a way.” “What will you do?” “Instead of publicly executing her as a pirate, I will use her as an officially licensed pirate…that is, a privateer.” Sigrain elegantly yet arrogantly looked down at her former subordinate. “But if I am to do that, she must swear her absolute loyalty to you. How about it, Scarlet? Are you prepared to dedicate your life to my adorable prince?” Scarlet looked up at her with searching eyes as she answered. “You want me to swear my loyalty to Prince Ricardo, not Etruria?”
