The change of personnel in the navy would indeed cause them to give up on the capture of the pirate.
After all, many lieutenant generals and major generals who were out on missions had to be brought back to complete the handover of the team and various personnel changes.
It was expected to end this winter.
……
Krajka Island.
The two young masters of Black Rose Castle had finished their morning exercise. Rowling was quietly serving Richard breakfast. The two brothers were at the two ends of the long table, with a huge candlestick in the middle.
Elegant table manners were a compulsory course for the royal family. Richard had been taught by a court etiquette tutor since he was very young, so he was now very familiar with it.
Deep down, he was still willing to eat with chopsticks.
" Brother." After Mihawk finished eating, the little maid cleared the cutlery on his table, and he had time to chat with Richard quietly.
"If the Chambord archipelago imposed a ban on us, the only source of goods in the future would be the merchant ships on the sea.”
"Will it affect the lives of the residents?”
"Are you starting to care about these things?”Richard finished his last bite of beef and handed the plate to Rowling. As a waiter, Rowling had always admired Richard. Every time she saw him, as a lord, take the initiative to hand over the plate, she would be surprised.
She would blush.
"I'm going down, Eldest Young Master."
"Alright."
After Rowling and the maids left, Mihawk said solemnly," I want to know something about the castle. Perhaps I can help my brother.”
Richard's heart skipped a beat, and then he looked at him deeply.”
"I want to help my brother."
Mihawk's expression was serious, and his amber eyes were burning like torches. It seemed that he had really made up his mind.
"Good, not bad."
Richard praised.
He was praised.
Mihawk was secretly delighted. His strict brother was now different from the past few years.
In the past, when he was still in a difficult situation, his brother would always keep a straight face. Now, he was even more humane. Moreover, he did not seem to be the kind of person who was trapped on an island.
"Brother, you can form your own pirate group and go on adventures freely. I think you're more like a hero.”
"Is that so?" Richard drank the milk after breakfast, his face slowly softening.
"Let's wait for a while."
……
In the afternoon, it had been about half a month since they returned to the island.
Biggs and the others arrived at the former site of the Sikeali Kingdom. They had been delayed for too long on the way, and they had also dealt with the navy for a few days. After shaking off their tail, they dared to enter the sea, so as not to cause trouble for Richard.
"Richard! We're here!"
"Alla, are you a friend of the young master?”
A young woman wearing a large floral cloth on the roadside smiled. She was collecting clean snow dew and playing with her children in the snow.
The little girl's eyes were wide open, and her pigtails were swaying slightly. Her chubby face was like water ripples as she looked curiously at Biggs.
" Ah." Perhaps he was moved by the little girl's clear eyes, Biggs squatted down and reached out to stroke her face.
It was very strange.
Aren't the islanders afraid of outsiders?
Or perhaps, after revealing that he was Richard's friend, he had gained an unexpectedly favorable impression?
The little girl's face was scratched like water ripples. She frowned and pouted as she took a few steps back.
Then, she started crying loudly.
"Waaah! Mama…"
"Ah, I'm…I'm sorry, I'm sorry!”
Biggs, who had once been brave and combative on the sea, panicked. This little girl's face was not even as big as his palm. Why was she crying?
The old pirates behind him laughed loudly.
The great Sword Hero was defeated by a little girl?
"How interesting. It's so quiet here.”
The pirate, who was as fat as a giant ball, patted his belly and smiled warmly. He looked around. Although many places were in ruins, Richard had already built the framework.
Black Rose Castle.
It lived up to its reputation.
So this was the place Richard was protecting?
Amidst the girl's distressed voice, a figure suddenly flashed to the side of the island's port. Every step he took was like a gust of wind that whistled past.
The bone-piercing feeling that had originally been felt by him dissipated the moment he stood in front of him.
He squatted down and took out a piece of candy from his pocket. He waved it in front of the little girl and revealed a warm smile." Don't cry. You're a crybaby. You'll suffer. You have to eat something sweet."”
"Big…"
The little girl stared at Lee for a long time, her dazed look extremely cute.
Then, she giggled, and her eyes turned into crescents.
"Ah, our Ke Er knows Eldest Young Master.”
The woman on the side covered her mouth and snickered. Sure enough, all the children on the island, down to three years old, liked Master Richard.
She must be very happy to marry such a gentle person.
Ah, what am I thinking? Damn it.
"Her name is Ke Er. Come over and give her a big hug.”
Richard hugged her, but before he could touch her, she was already in his arms, laughing like a baby.
"Richard, oh, it's time to call the liege, here we come.”
Biggs grinned, revealing his white teeth.
Behind them were great pirates of various shapes and sizes. No, they could be considered adventurers on the sea.
They were all laughing.
Just by seeing this scene, they had already developed an incomparable good impression of this island that was shrouded in dark clouds all year round.
Although the island was dark, there was a sun in front of them.
