As Vane woke up and headed towards the second floor, he found Arslan, Ivy, Dane and Eve preparing for departure
He stretched before the cold breeze hit his bones
"gosh.. why's the hurry? visiting a grave isn't that deep".
he said his tone slightly teasing Ivy, Dane just kept his poker face, betraying no emotions, as Ivy glared at him as if saying 'how about we visit your grave instead?'
He clicked his tongue before inspecting the map with Eve
"Tsk, everyone is moody early morning"
Eve nodded as she kept her gaze on the map, as she kept coloring possible routes
"Where's Juliet by the way?"
Arslan was the one to reply:
"she left early morning to get some more ingredients, it's quite late"
Vane stood up immediately
"it's almost noon."
Arslan with a serious expression placed the hammer and the wooden planks down, as he picked up his Nimcha Sword
"I know".
Vane just grabbed his Saber and hopped off the deck, with Arslan following him.
the other's understood that they'll take care of that matter, so they remained in the ship.
Vane and Arslan keot walking through the crowded streets of the city
"where's is she... damnnation".
Arslan tried to follow with Vane's pace as he tried to calm him down
"Let's ask the people around here".
Vane nodded as both of them entered a French tavern
Inside we're only forginers, of the French kingdom, surprisingly nobody noticed Vane being a wanted pirate, due to them focusing on higher bounty pieates.
Arslan spoke with the bartender
Few hours passed by, Vane and Arslan now looking around the deeper region on the city that Vane, found out it name was 'Ribat'.
Vane sent Arslan to tell the crew that Juliet was indeed kidnapped, so he was alone now, as he walking aimlessly, he stepped on a note.
As he picked up the note, he felt something was wrong, the letter was written on Spanish, a broken Spanish...
there was a zero chance that this was an accident. the letter said
"they. take. me. Fés,".
also it wasn't written by an ink...ink wasn't that redish..
the letter fell from his hand into the ground.
"Juliet".
Vane expression turned cold.
Vane managed to find bunch of merchants heading from Ribat and to Fés, and he was able to succeed on following them by renting a horse
for the past two days he kept walking while following them untill there it was
a City that was so large, people there also didn't speak French or any European language..it was Fés a city ruled by the Rebels.
As he entered the city, people gave him few nasty looks, they seem
'unwelcoming towards foreigners, huh?'
Vane entered a pub the moment he arrived.
just if he could understand what they're saying...
a loud crowd of people shouting outside was heard, wich made him leave his drink full, as he got out to check on that
there was she, Juliet was wearing a white dress, she looked even prettier on it, but the look of sadness never left her face, as there was a man next to her, he was dark skinned with a long hair that was done into braids, he also was handsome, the man was wearing a white attire of what seem a traditional clothes here.
Vane just blended in with the carriage carriers and servants.
As they reached inside what seemed a fortified castle, Vane knew that he can't make it out of here without spilling blood.
Juliet and the Prince made it outside the Castle, the decorations of the wedding we're all over the place, even the Prince brought a Christian Priest, Maybe to make sure this marriage ends up well?.
After the formalities, the people sat down as the priest asked Juliet:
"would you accept the Prince as your husba—"
She intruppted him
"No".
that made the Priest and Prince flinch back
the Priest clears his throat as he asked her:
"why is that, you do not approve of him as a husband?"
Juliet just glared at both of them,she knew damn well that her rejection won't stop the Prince from marrying her.
"because... because the man i want isn't him,...the man i want is"
The double door we're swung open, as Vane entered covered in blood, not his, but the guard's,
"him"
Vane smirked as he looked at the Prince and Priest
"As they say, I oppose this marriage".
the two guards in the room launched at him,as he without any effort, dodged the first and stabbed the second into the crack on his helmet"
Vane turned around and grabbed the remaining guard by his neck, before he decided to snap it.
He looked at the Prince.
"i came here to take her back".
