[You stubborn, stinky, little brat!!!! You really deserved a good spanking from this cute little paws of mine!]
He was caught off guard by Audrey's sudden action. He never expected her to jump away from his protection so he fails to react on time. Nero can't understand why Audrey did that. As far as he knows, this little girl was not that heroic nor dauntless in nature. Or maybe he was wrong???? After all, it was Audrey who also save him way back on the verge of drowning when he was still a kitten.
"I don't know what comes to my mind either. I just suddenly feel like I was compelled to protect him. Then before I knew it, I was already shielding him away from the harm."
Just like her cat, Nero, Audrey also doesn't know what exactly makes her do that.
"Last time I check, this Prince Niccoli and I were like oil and water. We never get along well. But I think maybe because I used to know him???
"Are you sure this one is potable???? Don't you think this one expired already??? I think the water inside already gone bad.""Ahem... You are kidding right???? HEHE"Prince Niccoli was not sure what to say. He did not expect that this stranger could be more strange than he thought. How could water expire in the first place???? And what does he mean the water inside had gone bad????What inside is definitely not water. It's a wine!!! For crying out sake!Listening at the side, Prince Nike realized where the problem lies."This good gentleman over there, I suppose this is your first time tasting wine. Is that right????""Yeah?????"Audrey's expression started to turn weird as realization dawn on her.[This poor, soul. TO be honest, at this point I could no longer decide if I should regard you as innocent or simply food. I wonder how you were able to
Being playful and childish in nature, Prince Niccoli continue to admire the end result of the HEAVENLY WINE. He earnestly observes Audrey's forearm in amazement. He was not even satisfied so he tries to poke the skin that used to be bleeding. Prince Niccoli did not mind his action towards Audrey. After all, he thought that the stranger opposite him was a man as well. So he doesn't find his action of anything malicious. Being the elder brother, Prince Nike felt embarrassed for his younger brother's behavior instead. He casually hooks his right arm to Prince Niccoli's neck trying to drag him away."Oh by the way... I haven't got your name. As my savior, I should have at least know your name. So that I can repay you in the future. My name is Niccoli, and this over here is my elder brother, Nike. We are from the kingdom of Corona. How about you?"Shook!Who am I?!!!I have not thought about it yet.
Since both of the cats belonged to same ancient specie of cats, it did not take that long for Nero and Monami to find each other and meet again. Tracking each other's scents was all it takes for antediluvian cats to sense another presence of their kinds. Likewise, under the shade of the moonlight, the small cat that looks like a cotton was gazing on the stars. Facing her back at the approaching figure of Nero. Nero exhales a mouthful of air, relaxing. It was like he was attending his first date. He gently walks towards Monami, calling its name using the sweetest voice that he can muster.[Monami.....]The snowy white little cat, on the other hand, slowly turns her head. Her sparkling two-color eyes reflected the stars in the sky.[Nero!]Nero and Monami met and stared at one another. Looking at their reflection on each other's eyes. The cold breeze of the night brushes their soft fur and the gentle swaying
"The night is getting late now, Monami, we better get going inside and catch some sleep. You can just check out each other tomorrow morning. But for now, we have to go."As he said that, Prince Niccoli picks his cat carefully and hug it in his arms. Seeing that the cute little black cat had no intention of living, he patted its fur head."I'm sorry to interrupt you guys. But don't worry you can see each other and play tomorrow. Okay? We got to go."[Tsss. This little lad sure knows how to get the best timing to spoil our romance as always.]Nero badly wanted to pout at this moment, but to save his image in front of his lover, he tried his best to fight the urge. He took one last glance at Monami and winked before he walks away. Leaving Prince Niccoli and Monami. When he was not too far away from where the prince and his cat were standing, Monami called him.[Keep saf
The ship heading to the Iridos was a smooth sailing one. Audrey and Nero breathe a sigh of relief for this one. At least, they have less to worry about. At first, they thought that their journey to this unknown water will be riddled with hardships especially because the stormy night way back during their departure seems to be a bad omen; signaling that something unpleasant or unwanted was about to happen. But three months had passed already since they left the land. It was about time for them to see the Iridos, finally!"Hmm... I wonder how long will it take for us before we were able to set foot at the Iridos."Audrey blurted out as she greedily inhaled the fresh air. She was standing at the edge of the ship's deck with the railings supporting her lower body, preventing her to fall as she leans on it and spread her arms wide as if she was welcoming an embrace."This was so refreshing... Thank God, we are safe and everyt
"No! Please! Listen! It's not what you're thinking... Wait.....""Enough! Just leave her alone!"Not too far from where they were standing, they heard a commotion. It was a man and a lady engage in a heated argument. Audrey and Nero surreptitiously walks towards the direction from where the commotion was happening. On the other side of the ship's deck, there has been someone creating a scene.[Woah! I can sense some drama was about to unfold!]"You scumbag! Stay away from my friend! Leave her alone! Please! For crying out loud! Stop messing up her world anymore. Give her the peace of mind that she truly deserved!""No! Hold on! Let me explain myself first. Let me speak to Elle.... Elle... please... let us talk... I love you.. Please.. give me another chance.""Shut up! You cheater! My friend does not deserve an idiot and jerk like you! Leave her alone!"
After Elle and her friend Daizanel left the scene, Ralph also took his leave but not before glaring at everyone around watching the whole fiasco. Likewise, when the three people who started the commotion finally went to their separate ways, the people gathering around them from a while ago also gotten increasingly sparse as they started to leave as well, one after another. Soon, all that was left on the ship's deck was no other than the master and cat duo. Everything happens so fast, and the issue comes to its end as soon as it started.This kind of incident was nothing but a common occurrence for these people. Actually, they did not find it a big deal anymore. After all, building a harem was a common thing in this world. In a world where polygamy is widely accepted, having an affair with two or more is not an issue. But when this realization dawned at Audrey, she can't help but shakes her head."Haaaaayyy... even though I'm starting to love
The sea was relatively calm but Audrey can't shake the feeling that something was off about their surroundings. She can't help but feel odd and feel tense for some reason. Usually, the sound of the splashing water and the low roaring of the sea from a distance would start to become clearer when the night was about to approach. Also, the swaying motion of the ship although she dreaded the feeling of it, somehow she already got used to it. The absence of these everyday stuff makes the surrounding relatively silent. But the sudden plunge of silence feels like a signal, a calm before the storm! As if to prove Audrey's initial suspicion, the ship came to a sudden halt! It seems that they were stuck on something. The master and cat duo were jolted by this sudden stop and they almost stumble on the ground. Realizing that something was not right, the people who were about to take a rest for the day also stirred into action as they go out of their rooms one after another. The moon hides behi
