A large ship with a flag with a picture of a skull fluttering in the middle of the ocean, no one thought the giant ship could sail the ocean and would pass through the violent whirlpools from the south, no one thought, the fate of the ship and the passengers of the ship there are only two possibilities, they will survive the whirlpool that flows to form a large circle, or they will go into a terrible whirlpool and die in the dark and sinister ocean.
No one will know their fate. A man walked slowly towards someone who was standing on the deck.
"Captain, is the captain sure he's going to get through that whirlpool? however, the risk you will take is very big, captain." Said a man coldly, he was a handsome-looking young man with blue eyes as deep as the ocean.
"You're too worried about Ronald, you think I'll be conquered by the ocean that easily? I won't let it." Her speech.
"What is your purpose for going to that lost island? the woman you love has died because of her hatred for you."
"Haha, you've always been right on Ron's target, but I just want to look at him, see my only lineage, I want to see what he looks like now, he said, or was he so weak that he died in the surf when I put him on the beach? if she was like me, then she would be strong against anything, but if she was like her mother then she would die miserably." He said, his eyes looked far into the free sea, the man was famous among pirates, they were terrible pirates because they did not hesitate to kill anyone, he said, not only plunder the booty of the ship, sometimes they leave no trace of anyone from the loot.
He is known by the name of Captain Furious Lewstin, a pirate who has no heart, let alone feelings of love, but since meeting the woman, he has never stopped thinking about her even he kidnapped her, and when she died giving birth to a daughter, she was so angry. So angry with the innocent little baby, he kept it on the island of Zaudetta, an island that is very difficult for people to visit.
"What do you mean your daughter? she is a woman, how do you expect her to grow strong like you, captain."
The man chuckled. "Come on, but I'd like to see her one last time, at least I can see her face before heading back out to sea before death picks me up."
"Well captain, of course we're going to the island, no matter how."

That afternoon Edmund just sat and noticed Leona's busyness, he was busy washing, cooking and looking for vegetables, but he said several times that he had money to buy what he wanted.
"Where are you going?" Edmund asked Leona after she washed the clothes and took the vegetable basket again.
"You want to go to the man's garden?"
"Mm, I want to take the cabbages there, it seems like the cabbages inside are up, let alone these days the cabbages in the market have started to wither."
"Don't go there, stop stealing from that guy."
"How many times have I told you I didn't steal, I grew it myself." Leona said with annoyance. The sound of someone's footsteps sounded fast, a fat woman wearing an apron came to Leona, suddenly she pulled her hair violently, it made Leona surprised.
"So you're the thief, you're the one who stole my cabbages until I wanted to pluck them, and there's nothing left, not even my own as well." He said as he pulled back leona's hair violently.
Leona tried to push the fat woman so hard that her body bounced backwards. "Fuck, I can't take it anymore."
"You said what a rancid girl, you pathetic thief."
Leona widened her eyes and took hold of her waist, she was poor, she had no money, but she would not allow others to demean her, even though she was the mother of Latty and Jastin.
"Stole, whoever steals, I do not steal, I plant the vegetables in your garden, and I have the right to pluck them."
"The brash girl, the basic j4lang girl, how dare she speak when the parents speak to you, she intends to attack Leona but Edmund immediately holds her hand, and cannot dwell anymore.
"You, let go of my hand, you stupid young man !"
Edmund was just whistling, he was silent and just paying attention, he did not want to fight with a woman, it was very embarrassing for him let alone her middle-aged woman, he was a very, but he could take security measures so that this old lady would not attack Leona.
"I choose who I respect and respect, do you expect me to respect you if you treat me low? you must be dreaming, not going, Never." Shouted Leona with widened eyes in front of Madam Caron's face.
Edmund releases the woman's hand, and growls about to strike Leona back, but Jastin and Latty suddenly come and hold her mother.
"Mom why the hell, I let Leona pick up vegetables in the garden, she helped me water them all this time and keep them flourishing and not being damaged by pests, did Mom ever see me in the garden? it's all Leona did." Jastin.
"Don't teach me about teaching that damn woman a lesson, I want to remove her from this village, your father left us for good because of this girl, she said, he took your father to the night market and he met a woman there, you think I don't know? because of him I lost your father's love." He said while pointing at Leona.
Leona furrowed her brows, "I've never been to the night market with Mr. Caron, let alone introduced him to a woman." Leona was confused. Jastin patted his eel.
Madam Caron looked at him not understanding. "Don't blame yourself for defending this rancid girl, Latty."
"No, mom it was really me who took Dad to the night market as a kid, I remember that, Leona's clothes at the time were the same as mine, she said, since dad always bought the same dress for me and for Leona, it was me who took him to the night market and eventually met the rancid woman. I didn't expect that taking Dad there was such a big mistake, because he met his first love, let alone that she was a widow." Latty.
Her mother just opened her mouth wide, then looked at Latty and Jastin, "Why didn't you tell mom?" Latty then looked down.
"I-I was afraid to say it, Leona then let herself be accused by mother, she said that mother has hated her since she lived in our house, so he accepted the mistake without having to explain it, because there's no point in me knowing it's me or Leona."
Leona snorted and fixed her pulled hair, while Jastin watched her with a sharp look.
"You're playing mommy?" He growled, "I don't want to deal with you all anymore." Said the woman, she then left and left them.
"I'm sorry, Leona, I should've admitted it a long time ago." Latty said regretfully.
"It's okay, without knowing the story, your mother doesn't really like me." Leona said while fixing her disheveled hair.
"You wanna go get some vegetables? here, let me accompany you." Jastin.
"No, leona better go with me to the market, this hot ride ain't good for her body."
"Who said I'm going to the garden." Leona said, Jastin then smiled mockingly.
"But I want to go alone, I don't want you guys to accompany me, I want to cool my head. Watch out if you follow me." Threatening Leona, she then left just like that leaving the three of them awkwardly.
"We should go." Latty said, she drew Jastin's hand, because her eyes did not turn to Edmund.

It had been 9 days that Edmund had been living in Leona's house, although Edmund was from a noble family but had since lived with Leona, little by little he was able to adapt to village life even though it was initially very difficult, Edmund had to help Leona do the homework, because otherwise, all day Leona would nag him, to the extent that Edmund felt his nagging grandmother was with him, because Leona would not stop nagging him if he was just lazing around at home.
"Ed, dry the clothes I've washed, because today I'm going to go early in the morning, the price will be cheaper if I come in the morning."
Edmund, who was still lying down, raised his hand, just to hear it. Leona shook her head then immediately picked up her basket and immediately left for the market.
"If until I get back and the clothes aren't sun-drenched, you'll sleep outside." Leona shouted from outside the house.
"Ck, that girl, had she been in the palace, she would have been dragged by the bodyguards if she had shouted like that to me." Edmund muttered, he then lifted his butt and forced his body to get up and immediately dried the clothes, otherwise Leona would actually kick him out.
After drying all the clothes, Edmund immediately took a bath, he intended to take a bath in the river to refresh his body. For so long he has not touched women, for that he must soothe his physical health by taking a cold shower every morning so that he is aware and always level-headed.
After putting on his clothes, there was a noise from outside, Edmund was so surprised, he walked quickly out and saw a crowd of women coming to his house.
Edmund stood at the door of the house and saw Leona there, she was in the grasp of a swarm of middle-aged women. Edmund walked up to Leona.
"What's this?" Edmund asked, he walked quietly and pulled Leona's body towards him, because the creepy women seemed to want to tear Leona to pieces. Leona neither sobbed nor cried, her eyes only staring intently at the gossip lady.
They were all slightly gaping when they saw a very handsome man
walk towards them and look at him with a sharp look.
"Hey Leona who's that handsome guy, why is he in your house, huh?" Asked one of the thin women with high cheekbones.
"What did you guys do to him?!" Edmund snapped, he was so furious with the women in this village. The women retreated because of Edmund's clasping.
This rancid girl was looking for trouble with Miss Marshmille, she was about to disturb this lady's fiancee, so we were going to teach her a lesson." Said a woman while pointing at a black-haired young lady standing there, with an innocent face.
"Did Leona's eyes so blind disturb the fiancee of the man whose face was ordinary, while there was me whose fiancee was more handsome than that man, then all of you fools would be lied to by that woman." Said Edmund while pointing at the black-haired woman who looked furious and misbehaved.
