The Whisper Of The Sea

Vol 65

Flashbacks

Two men have since noticed Edmund, since his arrival in the village, they signaled to each other, when one of them was convinced, that the man was the number one person the kingdom was looking for. Edmund Alexander was the nephew of Lord Windsor who was a high ranking official in the kingdom and also the Empress's brother, as well as the only young master of Alexander's descent.

Upon seeing Captain Lewstin talking to the woman, they moved and took Edmund by force, then took him to shore. Edmund rebelled and resisted, but his strength could not be compared to the five of them guarding him, he was not hurt, only making his body unable to resist.

"GET OFF ME, GODDAMN IT !" Edmund cried out as he had begun to board the ship with his hands tied and a sharp weapon behind his back.

In her head was Leona. He thought hard about how to get him off this ship before they left, and every effort Edmund made. But they were too many to deal with, he even wanted to plunge into the ocean with his hands tied, if he left, he could somehow return to this island, he said, strong and strong currents make no ships approach this dangerous island.

Edmund desperately wanted to escape, he fought hard against them, but once again he was paralyzed. The ship started moving and away, she heard a commotion from above the deck, and immediately she looked for a small circle-shaped window and looked at Leona from a distance, she could not hear what she was shouting, he just cried and screamed loudly.

Edmund unconsciously shed his tears, he did not want to part with Leona, only Leona was able to fill his days, only he was able to treat the wounds in his heart, he was able to heal the wounds in his heart, edmund's heart became Leona's.

"Make him faint, he'll ruin our trip." Say one of them.

Edmund lay on the floor of the ship with his hands tied. He could imagine how Leona's face was screaming calling out to him and crying. Who would look after her one day when she was not around, what if the villagers treated her badly? This made Edmund's eyes bright and sharp again, he was eager to jump right now before the ship passed through the terrible whirlpool.

"If he wakes up and fights back, makes him faint, our journey is still long to get to England, he should be grateful that we're going to take him to his family." Said one of the pirates.

Edmund was surprised, he'd be taken to the city of Cambridge? This thought made him excited again. Well, if that's what they want, return me to my town and see how you're doomed. Thought Edmund.

Wait I'm Leona, I'll definitely be right back and pick you up

***

Leona was still standing within the seawater that reached her waist, she was crying as she stared at the ship from a distance. Latty and Jastin stood behind him sadly.

"How am I supposed to find you Edmund, I don't know how to find you, stupid." Said Leona while wiping her tears with her hands.

"Leona, let's go back to the village, you'll be cold if you're in the water like this." Said Latty holding her shoulder and carrying Leona slowly from there.

"How can I find him, Latty. I don't know how to find it, all my life I've never been off this island." Said Leona, only this time she looked very fragile and desperately needed help, Leona spoke while crying.

Latty hugged him, trying to calm him down. "Don't worry, he loves you Leona, he'll be back quickly, you'll have to wait patiently." Leona then held onto Latty's shoulder.

"If I wish it was like that, what if he couldn't get past the whirlpool and find this island again, no one would be able to find this island if it wasn't death or luck they had encountered. What if I get old and regret that I just waited without looking for it."

Latty was confused as to what to answer. Suddenly the voice of someone made Leona and Latty startled.

"Before that happens, you have to find it, before your hair turns white and only regret lies before your eyes."

"You ! why are you here?" Leona said as she widened her eyes.

"Tch, the captain pushed me off the boat, so I was forced to swim to this island, he told me to take you to the man, take it easy the captain will take care of your love. Ck, why do I have to do this kind of work, I'm a pirate." He said while folding both his hands.

"Woi, you want to find that guy, right? then, you should get ready to leave this island. We will take a small boat to the other side of the island, even though the risk is great going to the village, but there will be a pirate ship that appears there, he said, we can go up and we'll go to the English city of Cambridge."

Leona's eyes widened. "A-there's a ship and a village?" Leona and Latty.

"To our knowledge, this island is the only one here, there can't be another island."

"Have you ever gone to the opposite island, Ck it seems like your village chief lied to all of you, there are two islands that are quite a distance away from this lost island, although it is difficult to get there, but there will be pirate ships passing through the island, he will not dare to this village, because of that myth, so we will head to Rock island and wait for their ship to come."

The three of them were very surprised and fascinated by his words.

"You're seriously saying that there's another island near our island."

The man raised his head high, pleased with the stupidity of the three of them who knew nothing.

"So how your village chief bought tobacco and all sorts of things that weren't even in your village, of course because he knew that there was one island he could access to trade on, he said, but it seems you know nothing and have been lied to all this time."

Jastin clenched his hands tightly. "The fat guy just wants his own profit and fools the whole village by saying we're the only inhabitants on this island." Latty said exasperatedly.

"J-so what's your plan."

"As I said, you and I are going to Rock Island, where we're going to get past the pirate ship, and we can get on their boat all the way to Cambridge, where we can get to the city of Cambridge, they will definitely go there, because the city of Cambridge is the largest city and free trade is only there, he said, moreover, their hunting goods will increase five times if sold in that city compared to other cities."

"I'm going along, too dangerous if Leona and you go to that island, I want to get off this island and go around the ocean." Jastin.

"As far as you go." a man named Ronald Falviero shrugged his shoulders

"My sister ...

"No, you have to be on this island, too dangerous, all we're dealing with is a pirate, and Leona's departure is dangerous enough."

"So soon pack up, bring the important stuff, tonight we're leaving." Said the man.

Leona nodded confidently and immediately left with Latty towards her house.

"Come with me, you can rest in my house." Jastin said to the man.

***

Leona and Latty returned home, both of them were so surprised because Leona's house was filled with three large crates lined up neatly in her house.

"What's this?" Leona. Latty opened it and her eyes rolled when she saw what was inside the box.

"Leona look ! It's gold." Latty. Their whole life only this time they saw this much gold.

"There's a letter on your desk, Leona." He took it and read it.

Furious Lewstin's.

"Thank God Leona, you can bring these gold for your trip to that city, you can't leave empty-handed, I heard pirates only listen to gold, I heard, they will listen to anyone who has a lot of gold."

Leona nodded and picked up her clothes aided by Latty. "Please promise me Leona, you two will return to this village again, I will definitely miss you a lot."

"I'll miss you too, Latty." Leona said, they then hugged tightly while crying.

"B-but what about Jastin, I can't take him and make him face danger just because of me."

"Don't worry, he's been dying to get off this island, you know Jastin's ideals since he was a kid? He wants to be a pirate, but Mom always scolds him if he mentions pirates."

Latty helps Leona pack, a suitcase is in Leona's hands, and the dress Edmund buys, as well as several gold bags he carries, and the shells the man gives her.

"Don't worry about these crates I'll hide in your cellar, they'll be safe there." Latty said

"Don't worry about it, you can wear it if you want, I'll be back with Edmund until then, take good care of Latty." Leona.

The afternoon had turned into night, Leona and Latty were getting ready to go to the beach, they would meet a man named Ronald and Jastin there. Suddenly Latty asked Leona a strange question.

"Leona? Did you do your first night with Edmund?" Ask Latty. Leona's eyes were round, she had not expected to get such a question. Shamefully Leona nodded her head.

"Why?" He asked with a red hue on his cheek.

"What if you get pregnant while you're out on the sea?" Her speech.

"How could I possibly get pregnant, we only did it once." Leona lowered her head in shame.

"It's possible that you're pregnant could happen, you'll make love to her, she'll do it inside ....

Leona shut Latty's mouth in shame to hear the continuation of her words. "Why is this girl's mouth like this? she is not married." Leona's words made Latty laugh, but she came back crying. "I'm really gonna miss you, Leona, the village's gonna be boring without you." He said while wiping his tears.

They finally arrived at the promised place. The man stared at her from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.

"You're kidding, right?"

"Whatchu mean? of course I'm not kidding." Leona.

"What's the suitcase for and look at the clothes you're wearing. Do you want to go on an excursion? Just so you know, the ship we're going to use is a terrible pirate ship. You can't get caught if you're a girl, you have to disguise yourself as a man, don't you know how dangerous it is on a ship?"

"Then wait a minute." Latty said he then ran fast towards the village. Seen from a distance Latty brought something back. After she arrived, she carried a bag that was the same size as Leona's, but all contained men's clothing.

"Wear this," Latty said with a breath of gasping for running.

"This outfit is a combination of Edmund's clothes, jastin and my clothes, I once bought it for my lover, but I haven't had time to give it."

"You got a lover?" Jastin narrowed his eyes.

Leona and Latty immediately cleaned up and moved the clothes and everything they needed in the suitcase.

"Tch, women are troublesome." Ronald mutters while waiting for Leona to wear men's clothing, assisted by Latty in one of the empty fishing houses.

***

That night the waves at sea were quite calm, The old man who was tied to one of the mast was remembering all the cries of Leona who was crying while on the beach.

He then looked at the crews of the ship sitting not far from him, he then whistled long making the three of them glance at him.

"A-what are you doing K-kap .. I mean, stop whistling don't make a fuss."

The man chuckled, "Do you realize what you're doing now? Do you think after you return the man to Cambridge, I'll let you live? No, you will die in my hands, you think my people are only on this ship, the pirates who are in the city of Cambridge who now control the trade in that city are my best friends, you know a pirate named Sean Nicholas Hoult, don't you?"

"D-he's not a pirate anymore, we have nothing to do with that man, he's already a big master in the city."

"Do you know that his people are scattered all over the sea, there is no pirate who does not know Sean, once I say that all of you betrayed, before you got to Cambridge, your body is floating in the ocean.

The sound of footsteps approached the man. "Then we'll eliminate you before all that happens, there's no harm in us killing an old man like you." He said with a dagger around Lewstin's neck.

He chuckled, "Just do it, I want to see you take care of those pirates without me,"

The man glared furiously, he could not kill him, the pirates had not attacked him all along because of their captain's good relationship with pirate captain Sean.

"Damn it, take care of him, and don't let your guard down."

***

A sizable ship that had white sails stretched out had been waiting for them, Ronald had already boarded the ship, Leona hugging Latty for the last time.

"You're good-looking with your style like that Leona, no one knows you're a woman, Oh yeah it's for you." Latty gave a golden pendant with carvings there.

Leona Lewstin

"I stole it from Mom, because it's yours, see you later." Latty waved her hand, as Leona was already on board and continued to wave her hand at him.

"Take Leona for me, sister." Shouted Latty while wiping away her tears. Leona waved her hand. The land is no longer visible. Leona looked ahead, only the ocean stretched out wide before her.

Now my adventure will begin Edmund. I'll find you.
