Chapter 549 Disrespectful Savages!
Prince Skye looked at the sh.o.r.es of Carona gleefully.
Has anyone ever been able to resist the temptation of owning gla.s.s?
If he distributed small shards of gla.s.s to these savages, then wouldn"t they be thankful to him all the more?
After all, since gla.s.s was so expensive.... it would mean that they could trade it in for more money or even keep it as a family heirloom.
But what prince Skye didn"t know, was that thanks to some of Baymard"s goods that were sold In gla.s.s objects.... no one really thought much of gla.s.s anymore, as now even peasants had too.
Of course, all of this was in the future.
But for now, Prince Skye thought that his plan was as solid as a rock.
In fact even without any plan, he still felt like he... Prince Skye Williams, would definitely be successful in wooing Penelope.
After all, most women typically jumped all over the place, whenever they heard that he was from the Continent of Veinitta.
So what more of her?
A woman was a woman, no matter how he saw it.
They were loose, fickle, greedy, selfish and scheming... with their only purpose in life being to hook the biggest "Fish" in the sea.
And since he was indeed the biggest fish at the moment.
So how could Penelope dare to refuse his proposal?
Nope!
That would just defy natural common sense.
And such a smart woman like herself would definitely have such common sense.
.
Skye and his crew soon drew closer to the port on the sh.o.r.es... alongside several other s.h.i.+ps.
And as they moved, even though those beside them saw their flags.... no one even slowed down or gave them away.
In short, it wasn"t that these people were being rude to them.
No!
Rather them being rude, one could say that they were just in a hast.... as time was now against them.
In fact, many people didn"t even have the time to look at Skye"s hoisted flag properly.
You see, this was Loplin city!!!!!!
This was the city where the Bay-Caronian s.h.i.+ps were.
And so many people had sailed from different continents to Carona, just for the experience.
They had the pamphlets that showed the s.h.i.+p"s departure and arrival times.
So if they didn"t hurry to book earlier, then wouldn"t the entire s.h.i.+p be booked full?
By then, wouldn"t they have to wait for another s.h.i.+p before they depart?
And worse, if they don"t hurry up and miss their booking in time.... then wouldn"t they have missed their s.h.i.+p ride just like that?
At first, several aristocrats and n.o.bles took their time to dock and even head-on out to the Bay-Caronian s.h.i.+p Station.
But after missing their s.h.i.+ps for several times in a row?
They soon understood the essence of timekeeping.
They now hurried the men carrying their bags and ran behind them as fast as they could towards the s.h.i.+p station.
In fact, they acted as if they were about to miss their airplane flight or something.
Because for sure, even when these people missed their s.h.i.+p rides.... they felt the same way those on earth felt, when they missed their flight in the airports.
No one liked waiting in the s.h.i.+p station for the next s.h.i.+p or even sleeping in the town an extra day if they didn"t plan to do so.
So it wasn"t that these people were being disrespectful to Skye and his men.
No!... it was just that they were truly in a rush to even register what flag had been hoisted.
.
Skye and his men looked at the surrounding s.h.i.+ps in confusion and anger.
On the surrounding s.h.i.+ps, everyone was running around crazily as if their lives depended on it.
"Can you guys just hurry up!"
"Children... Please don"t bother the men who are trying to work.
If you do so, then I won"t allow any of hon yo get ice cream when we get on board the s.h.i.+p."
"Come!... bring all the luggage and place them here immediately!"
"Oh my G.o.d!... can you all be fast?
Tell those below to row the s.h.i.+p as fast as they can.
We don"t have all day here, so tell them to row faster!!!"
(*`-_-)
Conversations like these could be heard all around them.
These people even held their pieces of luggage and stood by the exit of their s.h.i.+ps, as if they wanted to dive into the water while holding their luggage.
And why the h.e.l.l were they shaking so much and tapping their feet so impatiently?
In short, the entire scene was really chaotic.... and all of this just made Skye and his crew truly feel annoyed when they looked at the savages around them.
The smiles that they had previously worn, had now turned upside down the more they observed.
.
Typically, when their flag was hoisted, several s.h.i.+ps usually stopped anchor just to let them pa.s.s.
In short, everyone usually made way for them while slightly bowing on them.
But rather than having this sort of treatment, those around them increased their speed as well.... as if they were in some racing compet.i.tion with them.
And the funny thing was that these people had great incredible s.h.i.+p docking skills.
Skye and his men had been targeting a certain docking spot once they realized that the s.h.i.+p on that spot was trying to leave.
But before they knew it, someone had already overtaken them, and hastily rushed in the spot in a flash.
In fact, even the speed at which everything was prepared was shocking.
Once the s.h.i.+p docked, the wooden bridge that allowed pa.s.sengers to step down.... was quickly placed at lightning speed, and those on board ran down with their luggage like crazy.
In fact, to Skye and his men..... they were so rude that these spit stealers didn"t even bother to look at the people that they had stolen the spot from.
How disrespectful!!
Skye and his men were now boiling in rage.... so much so that their faces had turned red as a tomato.
Good!... these people were indeed savages.
