The Charm of the Pirate

Good Day Ended Bad

As it is very sunny today, Elie plans to invite Sofia to visit a neighbor's house.

Their neighbor was named Mr. And Mrs. Jerome's. They've lived in Lilbert for about 10 years, the same age as their son, Jason. Jason has a sister named Jessie.

Then they visited another house inhabited by an elderly couple Mr. and Mrs. Monroe has a nurse named Miss Felice who is getting married in a few months. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe was so nice, they would finance her entire nurse's wedding and would host a party at their home.

The journey was not over. That day they planned to explore the entire village of Lilbert by horse carriage. Lilbert Village was quite spacious.

Many gardens are planted with several types of vegetables. People waved as Sofia's horse-drawn armour flashed by. All the villagers were very friendly to her, so inevitably Sofia felt comfortable.

It had only been a few days since Sofia's arrival in Lilbert Village, but everyone had known her. Because Sofia is easy to remember. His skin was paler than most people's. Sofia is beautiful and kind, which is why everyone loves her.

Elie was very happy because the villagers realized how kind and beautiful the young Miss he served was.

On the 7th day Sofia was able to meet the nobles who lived in Lilbert, because she had just returned from a trip to Roseland.

The nobleman was quite young, he was named Mr. Gerald. She's about 25, and she's single. Sofia talked a lot with Mr. Gerald. They talked about plantations and mining. Sofia was comfortable talking to him.

Mr. Gerald told me a lot about his experiences during his stay in Lilbert Village. According to him, Lilbert Village has enormous potential so it should not be wasted.

Indeed, for a week Sofia lived in Lilbert Village, she greatly admired its natural beauty. Lilber village has mountains and directly facing the sea, which is what makes it special.

The air here is very cool, not stuffy and hot. Sofia liked it very much.

Mr. Gerald does not know that Sofia is a Lady who has the Marquess' Father. Because Mr. Jasper told Elie to keep his identity a secret.

Sofia is called Esme if there is someone else, but if she is both, Elie calls her Miss Sofia.

Sofia doesn't mind all that, she also fears that someone will notice her and remember the embarrassing moment of Debutante's party night.

This is the 3rd time Sofia has met Mr. Gerald. Mr. Gelard kept forcing to meet him. Since Sofia felt uncomfortable if she had to refuse, then with a heavy heart she was willing to meet.

"Miss Esme, you really have a very pretty face." Mr. Gerald smiled and looked at him.

"Thank you Mr. Gerald.."

"Are you willing to take a walk with me to the beach?" Bring Mr. Gerald.

"of course.. But I want Elie to accompany me." Sofia kept looking at Elie.

"Miss, I better wait here." Elie blinked one eye.

"It looks like Miss Elie refused, what if we just go alone?"

Sofia could not give any reason to subtly refuse, she nodded resignedly.

They walked around the white sandy beach. The weather today is quite calm. There were waves crashing against each other on the ground and seagulls flying in the sky.

Sofia decides to remove her sandals and walks barefoot. He enjoyed as his toes touched the warm, soft sand. Mr. Gerald smiled at Sofia's behavior.

"Your feet will get dirty Esme.." Mr. Gerald reminded.

"No why. I'll wash it later.."

"Sir, did you find out about the girls who disappeared?" Suddenly Sofia asked Mr. Gerald.

Mr. Gerald was very surprised to hear such a sudden question. His face turned stiff and looked tense.

"Mr Gerald?" Sofia flicked her hand in front of Mr. Gerald's face.

"G ..."

"Of course.." Mr. Gerald tried to smile.

"Isn't that what Captain Hades did?" Ask Sofia.

Suddenly Gerald's face improved. And turned bright.

"Rubber! Absolutely right! That's what the evil pirates did." Mr. Gerald said it with a fiery spirit. So Sofia was a little confused.

"But why did you look surprised?" Ask Sofia.

"Ah, since you are a newcomer, I guess you will be frightened and move on from Lilbert." Mr. Gerald scratched his head.

"Oh, so.."

Mr. Gerald caught up with Sofia who was running.

"Miss Esme, are you okay?"

"Of course, my clothes are just a little wet." Sofia pointed at her wet front skirt.

From a distance several men wearing strange clothes walked over, Sofia and Gerald were unaware of their arrival due to the focus of looking towards the beautiful sea.

The man who saw Sofia and recognized her laughed out loud as he stared at Sofia's back.

"God... Guess who this woman is?"

Sofia who knew the voice immediately turned her head back and was very surprised to see the man who was staring at her.

"You!!"

Mr. Gerald did not understand what was going on, he tried to cover Sofia with his back.

"Hi Miss, we meet again." Greet the man.

"Ben, I remember who you are!"

"You're one of Captain Hades' crew!" Sofia pointed at Ben's face that was still laughing.

Gerald was surprised to hear Sofia's words. He invites Sofia to run, but it is too late that the rest of the crew restrains Gerald by bending his hands back.

"Waaaw, good day to meet. Captain would be happy to see you again." Ben stopped laughing.

"No, he won't like it." Answer Sofia.

"We won't know before we try." Ben blinked one eye.

"Don't you dare think anything!" Sofia Threatened.

"It's exciting. Bamus, bring that woman." Ben orders his friend to take Sofia.

But Gerald stopped him.

"Well, what are you doing with this guy?" Ben started to see Gerald.

"Stop what you're doing." Mumbled Gerald.

"You're the one who should stop!" Threaten Ben.

"Heh woman! You don't know who he is?" Ask Ben.

"He's Mr. Gerald!" Answer Sofia.

"Ah, Bamus! Bring her! The captain will love it!" Ben shouted louder.

"I found it first!" Answer Gerald.

"You hear Him?" Ask Ben.

"I don't understand..." Sofia's confused.

Bamus pulled Sofia's arm firmly, Sofia couldn't help it. Gerald tries to pull Sofia but in vain, the rest of the crew holds her back.

"Take me off!"

"Let go of me asshole!!" Sofia Umbat.

From a distance Elie ran very fast, but late. Sofia had been lifted up like a sack of rice on Bamus' back. Mr. Gerald could do nothing.

"Miss...!"

"Miss....!"

"Don't tell Daddy! I'll be back!" Sofia shouted from a distance.

But free of charge, the crew of Captain Hades had climbed onto a small canoe that was stored on the shore. Sofia did not give up, she flicked her body as long as possible, but Ben swiftly struck the back of her neck. Sofia was unconscious.
