Chapter 23: 23

Aria and Cedric lived in a village far from where they were. They barely had any money to buy anything. Then their home suffered a tragic accident, and all of their family died.

Without nowhere to go, they decided to sail to the sea and find a new home. That is the reason why they were going toward the port. But without money, there was no way of getting a ship, so Arthur felt pity and wanted to help them.

“It is fate, my new friends. We are also trying to sail and find a new place to call home. Want to join our crew?” Arthur said.

They did not know what to say. A stranger not only saved them but was also inviting them to a crew.

“Of course. We’ll not let you down or slow you. You can count on my healing skills and Cedric’s spear.”

“That’s good to hear.”

They talked for a while to get to know each other better. And also to enjoy the delicious wolf meat Hily made for them. But all of them were tired, especially Aria and Cedric, who traveled a long way to get there. So, it was time to sleep.

There were only two tents, which meant Arthur would sleep alongside Jane and Hily. It would certainly be a good night of sleep.

Even though it was only one tent for three people, it still had enough space for everyone. But sleeping outdoors was far different. It was colder, and the fear of something attacking during the night was high. So, in the end, Arthur, Hily, and Jane slept close to each other.

“Ahhh-” Hily said as a hand touched her boobs. Arthur would not lose the chance to touch these mountains again.

“What are you doing, Arthur? Jane is sleeping next to us,” whispered Hily, afraid Jane would wake up.

Arthur got closer and whispered, “If we do it quietly, she will not wake up.”

.

Hily pondered the idea, and as she remembered the good time spent with Arthur, she accepted.

“Okay. Do it slowly, please. We can have hardcore sex inside the ship.”

Arthur put his pants down and pierced his dick in Hily’s wet pussy. It went in slowly, but that did not stop Hily from moaning softly. She rolled her eyes in pleasure, and her legs shook after each orgasm.

“Ahhh, Arthur.”

They fucked for a long time, and yet no one woke up.

“It is so nice to see the sun again.”

After a good night’s sleep, especially for Arthur, all of the crew returned to their goal. Aria and Cedric did not know people were chasing Arthur, so they couldn’t fully understand why the hurry.

But being part of a crew and sailing the sea made them want to move forward at full speed.

They destroyed the campfire and dismounted the tents. Hily brought a few fruits with her and shared them with everyone. It was not the best breakfast, but it was what they could get.

“How long until the port?” asked Aria.

“Hum, at least eight hours. So not much.”

Arthur counted on Wisa and Myria to get a ship for them. They could not delay their departure after killing the KING of the kingdom. It was the most severe crime one could do. Arthur did not want to die before exploring this new world.

They walked non-stop until a small city entered their sight. It was Rento.

Rento was a well-known city in the kingdom, even with its small size. Why? Rento had the biggest port in the kingdom and was close to the royal palace and the capital. It was the best place for merchants to ship goods.

A few guards searched everyone that wished to enter the city. Arthur was afraid they would somehow recognize them, but no. They went in without problems.

“Come in. Enjoy your time in Rento.”

The streets of Rento had few people but lots of carriages. Ships came every day bringing goods, and these same goods were moved using carriages to whatever their destination was.

“Move out of the day. Richards from the Lockheart family is passing,” someone yelled from the carriage, and everyone opened up the path for it to pass.

It was a common occurrence for people to strike fear using their family names. Arthur did not think it was wrong. He would do the same if he was from a prestigious family.

Arthur had no idea where Wisa or Myria was. His best bet was to check at the nearby inn, and see if anyone matching their description passed.

They walked inside the only inn the city had. It was big and had many rooms. Maybe that was the reason Rento had only one inn. This place was so big it could fit a lot of travelers.

Arthur went in and checked with the bartender to see if he could give him any information. He was expecting to pay at least some coins for it, but the bartender shared what he knew for free.

“Oh, yes. These three ladies stayed here last night. If I remember correctly, they went to the port a few hours ago.”

“Okay, thank you!”

“You’re welcome.”

The port was not far, so it took them a few minutes to get there. It had many ships of all sizes. Almost all of them had a flag above, indicating from which family they belonged. It was their way of striking fear in those who wished to rob.

Arthur looked for a ship without a flag, as one of these would presumably be from Wisa. After checking a few of those, they finally arrived at the right one.

Inside the ship, Wisa, Myria, and Lilia were moving the supplies and the things necessary for their departure. Lilia was the first one to spot Arthur, and she ran in his direction, hugging him.

“Ahh, I was so worried about you. That old man told us about the crazy thing you two were going to do. Ahh, you only make your big sis worry.”

“That’s the first thing you say to me? Ah, you don’t know how much trouble we’ve been through. I need the care only big sis can perform.”

“You little devil.”

Lilia knew Jane from sight, but it was only that. She took the chance to talk more with the others, and also to know the two new members that were going with them.

With all of the talking, Wisa, and Myria left the insides of the ship and met with the rest of them.

“If it is not my student. I’m surprised you didn’t die, and the sword I gave you it’s still in one piece. That’s a miracle.”

“My alchemy prodigy returned. Is it true the crazy plan Nefion told us? Boy, did you drink a poison that messed up with your brain or something?”

“Hi to you too. Look, everyone,” Arthur pointed at Aria and said, “She’s Aria, and she knows how to use Divine Arts or something like that. And the other one is Cedric, he wields a spear, but I don’t think he’s good.”

“Hey, big bro. Don’t talk like that. You only saved me once, all right?”

“Well, that’s because he had been in only one fight so far.”

Cedric did not know how to reply.

“You do have a point, damn it,” Cedric said.

They chatted for a while once again. Wisa, Myria, and Lilia wanted to know more about the new people to make sure they were trustworthy. And, they did not see anything wrong with them.

On the contrary, they wanted to help them by teaching them. But that was only after they escaped the mess created by Arthur.

Aria and Cedric were shocked once they discovered Arthur helped someone kill the king. For a moment they thought he was a bad man. But after listening to the story, and Jane’s testimony, they believed he was innocent.

“But this is more troublesome than I thought. If demons are returning, then humanity could be in danger again,” said Wisa.

She was the most knowledgeable of all of them, so she knew how dangerous the demons could be. Humanity once fought a war against them, and almost got wiped out.

“Anyway, let’s finish what we started here. We need to leave this place immediately.”

Now they had more people to help pack the supplies, cutting the time in half. But still, it was a lot of work to do. Sailing required tons of supplies for the crew, or they could starve in the open sea.

They moved lots of food crates. All of them had a magical symbol on them to make sure the food wouldn’t rot.

With sweat covering all of their bodies, they finally finished packing up their supplies. The plan was to rest for a while before leaving, but some screams coming from the city made them rush their departure.

“DID YOU SEE THIS YOUNG MAN?” A man dressed in royal armor asked one of the people in Rento.

Trembling in fear, the man said, “I did. I saw him going towards the port. Please, don’t kill me!”

“Damn it. We are in trouble. Let’s go, NOW!”
