I don’t need a bride or a ship!
“After Salim-aniue left, the atmosphere around the Royal villa became worsen isn’t it”
Since Salim already reach the age of 15, he has to became independent. the 14 year old Karin became the oldest and give a lot of pressure to his little brother, his grandfather which is the minister of military affair recently have an unusual connection with the merchant around the southeast island which make his little brother a bit wary.
but not only that, Ha.s.san which is 12 year old this year is the grandson of a large merchant which cannot be compare against Nash and Rajikk which is only 11 and 10 year old. and the Shou which is 7 year old and doesn’t have any support get the subordinate treatment.
“Let’s be patient for a year, after that Karin-aniue will leave and probably will take a warship”
Hearing Shou’s optimistic opinion, Nash and Rajikk turn skeptic.
“We, we probably end-up as Karin-aniue subordinate…”
It seem Nash grandfather is making his granddaughter to became Karin fiance who is the grandson of minister military affair.
“Really? Nash-aniue grandfather will offer his granddaughter to Karin-aniue?”
This information shocked Rajikk and Shou, Becuase Nash for better or worse is a prince with manly body but his personality is more fit for Merchant hence why he turn away from military.
“My grandfather cannot go against the minister of military affair Zahan since he is just a merchant, and lately he just form a small trading post and need an escort if not he can’t do any trading. and even though pirate attack is recently stop but that not mean they will stop forever and our profit is starting to decrease so we can’t let any chance to raise our profit, including using escort”
Sou doesn’t have any grandfather who work as a merchant, so this is the first time he hear something about recent trends.
“I wonder if Salim-aniue doing fine? thing likes pirate makes me worry”
Nash and Rajikk quite worry about Shou who doesn’t;t have any backing.
“Salim-aniue grandfather is kinda is the relative of Rashindo-sama, Since they tend to be together on the same merchant fleet so I’m sure he will be alright. and there is also an escort, so I’m sure we doesn’t need to worry about the pirate.
The problem is for those small-scale merchant who goes sailing without escort.
and his grandfather seem to have a connection with the minister of military affair Zahan and there is the possibility that the ship that escort him is a warship, and thus i will became the subordinate of Karin-aniue”
Rajikk face look gloomy.
“My grandfather right now is trying to approach Ha.s.san-aniue grandfather, Hoping that we can join their merchant fleet”
With the two condition quite serious, Nash sighs.
“Grandfather to quite desperate to offer his granddaughter for Karin-aniue.
My cousin Sally is a good child, but to married to a person with a domineering personality will make her life hard”
……Even if there is a support, it seem it’s not one hundred percent safe…
to hear my big brother grumble makes Shou want to run away to her mother hometown.
“isn’t you will board a warship today? is everything alright?”
While the three is grumbling with each other, suddenly they were yelled by Karin, while looking at their little brother with eyes that resemble a sword, those three think that their brother att.i.tude is only good when making an enemy.
if they able to do good on this rare chance work inside the warship they will get an important experience that’s why the little brother thanking their elder brother for this chance,but only to receive a yelling.
“Wooow, warship sure is cool! different from a merchant ship!”
“obviously!, unlike merchant, we don’t need to bring any luggage.
and if we have no speed, how will we catch the pirate”
even he has bossy personality, Karin still happy seeing his little brother’s amazement about the warship.
“Karin-aniue, may i climb that mast?”
Shou became engross with the warship when he see that the ship is cutting the wave.
“are you stupid? you will die if you fall from the lookout”
Since Ha.s.san trying to get Shou because of his compatibility with wind magic, he is being cautious.
“Can a child even climb a mast?”
For Karin, Shou is still a kid so he likes to make fun of him.
“is that mean, if i can climb the mast it will be okay?”
“There is a chance for you to fall if the ship suddenly moves, and i will not help you”
Receiving an okay from Karin, Shou start climbing the mast.
“He is like a monkey”
Though Ha.s.san spoke ill of Shou ability to climb the mast, Karin who is experiencing working in the warship several times think that he will became a good sailor.
“Wooow, this is feel good”
Wind hit his face when he stand at the top of the mast, and what view came before him is the wide blue sea and sky as far as eye can see which make him feel happy.
“maybe being a sailor isn’t all bad..”
When the wind hit his face again as the warship speeding up he change his mind.
“abut time you get off!”
Karin start yelling from the deck his usual bossy at.i.tude appear which makes Shou start to get off from the mast.
While going to the deck using rope, suddenly the wind direction change which make the ship turn suddenly.
“Watch out!”
When the ship suddenly turn Shou is holding the rope with one hand.
“he will fall!”
When Shou think that he will hit the deck, he make a determination to at least fall into the sea, but he manage to land right on the deck.
“Dumba.s.s! i thought you are going to die!”
When thinking that he have to report that his father that his little brother is die, Karin face turn pale.
“is that so? the merchant Rashindo is marrying Shou mother in order to get the wind magic”
Because of that incident, now many people with great influence including his elder brother is taking interest with Shou, now the people who trying to offer their granddaughter for him and his elder brother is increase and Miya receive many ship offering for Shou
“What’s so good about the kid? his only good point is his compatibility with wind magic.”
To Shou who doesn’t have any ambition, Aslan have a harsh opinion about him.
“He is only 7 year old and the person himself haven’t take any side yet. just leave him alone”
unlike the neglectful Aslan, Right now Miya is in the middle fierce negotiation with the older prince family.
“Well, Zahan have been warned. for now maybe things will quite down”
Miya stop talking when she done complaining.
“Did you say something?”
Weaving her hand as if saying it’s woman’s problem make Aslan feel a bit angry yet he still can’t win any argument against Miya which make her amazing in Aslan’s eye.
after giving a lot of pressure to the minister of military affair, they start to do pirate subjugation which make many merchant trade more active.
Miya wonder why Aslan let her do all the work, but even she hear the reason it will be useless.
“Miya, i want to became a sailor. Get a small ship, and sail leisurely on the sea”
Shou who have a carefree at.i.tude while doesn’t know the others people feeling, Miya is explaining about the ship and fiance that being offered for him.
“eh~, i dont need bride and ship! i will find it myself”
Miya think that she still need educate Shou how to be a splendid prince because of his obviousness about his how standing
“You can’t do that, Shou is a prince after all”
Shou dream to life leisurely with a ship is completely rejected
