The Whisper Of The Sea

Vol 64

The man walked up and looked at them one by one, when he mentioned Leona's name, all the citizens were shocked, of course they all knew the girl, especially yesterday the girl just got married. But being struck by fear, they did not dare to speak, they shut their mouths tightly.

One woman fell down with trembling fear. He is Mrs. Caron, it was she who took the little baby to her house and took care of him, but it was not just her, it was Joanna's old man, before she died, who was most dear to Leona, he pampered her greatly and loved her, after her death, leona changed hands several times from the house and ended up returning to her family until she was 15 and finally decided to leave her house and live near a big tree near the river, he built his own house with odd jobs.

"Didn't you hear me? who is the village chief on this island ?" Said the man who looked terrible.

Mr. Marshmille immediately stood up, she was very reluctant to stand up, the man's eyes stared at her and walked in front of her. "You're the village chief here?"

The old man nodded quickly. "So you know a girl named Leona, one of you must have raised her."

Frightened, he tried to answer. "Yes, sir, but as far as I know Leona was raised from one house to another, she didn't settle in one place."

A terrible grin was seen on his face. "Why did he move like that?!" The hardship.

Suddenly one of the women who seemed to be starting to dare to stand up, she was Lady Relief the gossipmonger in this village.

"Master, as far as I know Leona was first discovered by Mr. Caron, he took it from the shore and then raised it, but after Mr. Caron is with another woman, the wife of Mr. Caron does not treat Leona well even though her son and daughter love Leona, but Mrs Caron always scolds her, so Leona was foster by Lady Joanna who happened to live alone, she loved Leona like her own child, but she died, after that Leona lived sedentary lives from one citizen to another and ended up back at Mrs Caron's house, but after she was 15 she had her own house and started living independently." Said the woman smoothly.

Mrs. Caron seemed to tremble in fear his name was mentioned.

His eyes glittered sharply horribly, he did not know his daughter was raised like that, even though he himself put her by the beach without pity, but he left the island when from a distance, when he left, he saw someone walking towards the baby.

His hands clenched tightly, "Where is he now, is he here?"

"S-it looks like there's no master, maybe he ran away and hid." Said Mrs Relief.

***

"Well." Leona muttered.

They have been in that tree house ever since.

"You thirsty?" Edmund said as he let go of his embrace. Leona nodded.

"I know where the nearest river is around here" said Leona, not far away at the end of the river there is a spring, we can pick it up."

"You wait here, let me take it."

"But I know the location better."

"No, wait here and I'll be right back." Edmund.

Edmund began to move slowly as he felt the situation begin to be safe. He moved downwards, and immediately ran towards the spring not far from their hiding place.

It was dark, and Edmund was just this time in the pitch-black forest, looking left and right and making sure the empty bottle was filled. After the bottle was full, he drank the water directly from his hands and washed his face. She ran quickly, but something made her stop, she saw an apple tree and intended to pick it for Leona, as they had not had time to eat since this morning. Edmund picked up 4 apples and left immediately, but he heard a man's voice from a distance. He then hid behind a big tree.

"Say our captain has to find a girl, it looks like she's hiding in this forest." Said one of the men.

"Don't be noisy looking properly, if you've found it, don't hurt him, he's very important to the captain, you understand."

As they drew nearer, Edmund walked slowly, he tried to breathe slowly, he hid himself in a bush, but the sound of his feet, of course, came to the three men, when Edmund was about to turn around, he's been surrounded.

"A man? Did the captain say we should look for a man?" Say one of them.

"It's not him we're looking for, but take him to the village, if he's fighting just kill it."

Edmund of course would not let them do as he pleased, he stood with his hands firmly clenched.

One by one, as Edmund approached, two men attacked him while the man retreated backwards and watched the surroundings, but Edmund quickly parried and attacked the two with his punch, The man smiled. He is a vice-captain named Ronald Valfiero. His size was not much different from Edmund, he attacked Edmund nimbly, once attacking, Edmund had fallen on the ground with two crushing blows on his face and once a kick on his stomach. He groaned as blood came out from the corner of his lips.

"Bring him in, don't let him run away." Said the man.

Edmund is grateful, Leona does not go with him, he does not want Leona to get hurt. Edmund was taken by them to the village. Meanwhile Leona was very worried because until now Edmund had not returned as well, unable to wait, he came down from the top of the tree, and hearing footsteps from a distance, he followed her slowly, Leona was very surprised to see Edmund captured by the pirates.

The pitch-black forest helped her cover her tracks, Leona was very good at hiding and sneaking around, since childhood it had become her habit. With trained steps he followed them. Then running and hiding inside the wheat barn directly facing the field, he could see and hear their conversation.

"Captain, we found another one hiding in the woods. All the inhabitants of Zaudett looked at Edmund who was walking, one of them standing up. "That man .. that man is Leona's husband, they just got married."

The old eye with a line of wounds on his face stared intently at Edmund. He stood up from his seat and approached and saw his face.

"You're married to Leona? where is she?" Ask.

"Why are you looking for Leona?" Edmund said without fear.

"He has business with me, tell me where you're hiding him." Whisper the man with a gripping.

"You think I'll tell her whereabouts, if you want to hurt her? I will not let ....

"You can't be selfish, just give up Leona, why did you sacrifice us for that rancid girl? I don't want to be trapped here just because of that woman, tell them right away! you sacrificed a lot of lives just to protect her worthless."

"Sit stupid ! What are you doing?" Hardik lord Marshmille to his daughter. Ronald just shook his head.

"Foolish woman, you're cursing that girl in front of her father." Mumbled.

Leona held her breath, because she had been listening to them since. He stepped on a sack, but his foot slipped and fell into the room.

"Damn !" whispered.

The man walked with a gripping look, his face getting more sinister as he approached the woman standing with a look of fear.

His eyes glittered sharply. "You ... What do you want?" He said with a trembling voice.

One slap back floated on his cheek, and it was only a very small punishment he received, but since the slap was loud enough for the woman, he fell on the ground to bleed from his nose.

"Don't talk any more, otherwise I'll feed you to my crew, they've been sailing the seas without ever touching a woman, they'll be cheering if they get you." Sarah's mother and father hugged her tightly. They were scared and didn't speak anymore.

***

The man named Ronald Valfiero piqued with a voice in the rice barn, he stepped slowly, and opened the door, in the many sacks of the farmers' crops neatly arranged around each corner. He's researching and sure there's someone inside here. The sound of her footsteps made Leona close her nose, as she nimbly moved from place to place.

Leona slightly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, but it was a pity that since the man lied earlier, she was just pretending to leave.

"There's another rat here." Cynical smile. Leona looked at him sharply, the man's face was not very clear as only moonlight entered inside the room. Leona who was standing under the window was clearly visible to the man.

"Finally you showed up, Leona."

Leona retreated slowly, she knew she was trapped because her body had already touched the wooden wall.

"Don't fight, you'll only hurt yourself, come with me, and face the captain and the matter is over, we don't have to do evil deeds in front of these people." Said the man.

His eyes were sharply staring at Leona, he grinned as Leona took a swing to attack her. "Do you want to fight with me? I don't fight with women, you better give up and everything's gonna be easy."

The black-haired man approached Leona, he tried to grab her arm, but nimbly, Leona took the dagger on her waist and attacked the man quickly. It was fortunate that the man nimbly moved and dodged Leona's attack. He chuckled as he stayed a little longer, the dagger hitting his throat.

"Give up, the captain just wants to talk to you."

"Why does he want to see me?"

"Maybe because you're his daughter."

Leona's eyes widened, she then snorted. "I don't have parents." Leona.

"Whatever you say, but the captain wants to meet you, come with me, otherwise the villagers might be the target of the captain's anger.

***

The man left Leona, it seemed like he was giving time for her to think, she closed the door. Leona once again peered and looking for Edmund, her gaze falling on the old man sitting lazily on the chair, he was talking to someone. Edmund sat in the field with the others.

Soon the dawn would break, Leona waited until the day started to light up, the sun slowly illuminated the rice barn, Leona stood up and brushed off the dirt attached to her clothes.

Leona opened the door and walked towards them. Edmund looked at her with anger and worry.

"Leona what are you doing here?" Edmund said he stood up to protect Leona, but a man forced him to sit down.

The man who had been sitting down looked at Leona, his eyes slightly rounded.

Her face is very similar to yours, she inherited the beauty of your face and her eyes like mine.

The man stood up and stared at Leona. But he just stood up and after that he just left.

"Hey, this way, the captain wants to talk to you."

Leona was still standing, her gaze toward Edmund implying that she would be fine, not so far from the field, the old man stopped. Leona stopped too.

"I just came to see you, it turns out you look a lot like her, with your mother, you don't need to know her name, she's a girl like you who lives on an island."

Leona just kept quiet, not saying anything. "They say you're married, I don't know it, is he your husband?"

Leona nodded. "Yes, he's my husband."

"Let go of the villagers, they're not guilty at all." Leona.

the man smiled. "It should not have happened if they hadn't attacked us, of course we were attacking the islanders. I just came to see you."

The man walked over and gave a clam the size of a palm. "Take this, I found it on one small island that has not been touched at all, there is a myth that says if you blow it, the wind will deliver its sound in the ocean."

"Why did you give me this weird clam?"

"Nothing, just wanting to give something nice to you, you can make it a display in your house." He smiled, and looked on his face a smile of regret and sorrow.

"The more I see you, the more I miss him. It's my fault, he's gone."

The man then wanted to move on. "N-name, at least tell me your name." Leona.

"My name is very famous among pirates in the ocean, My name is Furious Lewstin," The man then left.

He beckoned to his people and immediately left the island of Zaudetta that very day. Before they left, they handed over some money in a small bag to the village chief in order for them to repair their destroyed houses.

They had all boarded the ship, Leona running around looking for Edmund, but he was not found.

"EDMUND, EDMUND ."

Desperately looking for Leona, Latty and Jastin run to Leona.

"He was taken to the ship. We saw him, three pirate men forcibly pulled him and took him. Leona widened her eyes. He ran hard looking for her.

"Captain, it looks like your daughter is chasing you" Ronald said as he watched Leona run along the beach.

His eyebrows wrinkled not understanding. He then turned around and about 18 of his 25 crew members were pointing guns at him.

"It's time you stopped being the captain of Furious Lewstin, you're old enough to sail the seas." Said a man with a horrible face.

The man named Ronald is furious but a sharp weapon has been pointed at all of them loyal to Lewstin. "Why did you bring the man, what did you want to do to him." Lewstin said calmly.

The man laughed loudly. "You don't even know him, but he's very famous in Cambridge. He will bring us great benefits, he is the only son of the Alexander family, he is also an important relative of the royal family in England, he said, they will definitely give a great reward when we bring home their young master." Again they laughed.

Lewstin looked at Leona who was still running around chasing the ship that was quite far from the beach. Leona was shocked when she saw from a distance that all the weapons were pointing at the man who claimed to be her father.

Leona ran until the sea water had reached her waist. He cried while shouting loudly, he wanted the man who became his father to hear him.

"EDMUUUNDD."

"KEEP HIM FOR ME, BRING HIM BACK TO ME."

Lewstin stared at Leona from a distance, even though their ship was far enough away, he still heard Leona's every word to him.

""EDMUUUND ... I LOVE YOU."
