Loving The Cursed Werewolf King-Chapter 727: Sea And It’s Memories
"The sun seems within my reach. How long will it take to get to the end of the sun?" Arielle asked innocently.
"Before us is the ocean. After sailing across the ocean, we will meet another continent. There are many other kingdoms you have never seen or heard of."
"And, how long will it take to get there?"
"It will take months. Only sailors who are reliable, brave, strong and crazy can cross the ocean. In the ocean, you will see lots of fierce storms and huge sea monsters that always destroy the ships. Thus, it is very rare for royal representatives from other continents to visit because to reach the Forsham Continent alone is like gambling. They can succeed or sink completely and never return."
Ronan also explained that pirates like to loot the ships that they crossed paths with. Lazarus himself had destroyed hundreds of pirate ships that tried to loot Northendell’s ships. Therefore, Ronan hoped that Lazarus could remain in his position until he could find the man’s successor.
It would take months to explore the ocean, so Lazarus rarely returned to Northendell. He only returned when Ronan’s birthday, and even then he would return to explore the ocean, destroying the pirate ships and cleaning up sea monsters so the ships from other continents could visit Northendell safely.
However, it seemed that Lazarus was very serious about Aimee. If the man decided to retire early, Ronan would be faced with a new problem. Who could replace Lazarus’ position later?
"Do not think too much about it. Let’s face what we need to face at the moment. For the future, we can think about it later by considering the outcomes of today and tomorrow. We don’t know what the future holds. It can be that later a figure appears and draws your attention to take him fill in the position, or maybe someone in the future will have more excellent abilities than Lazarus. We never know what the future holds..."
Ronan agreed with what his wife had said. At this moment, he would enjoy looking at the ocean. He used to be there. When Ronan was young and was still a crown prince, where he still didn’t have the responsibility of the throne, he and Lazarus once visited a kingdom full of flowers.
It was a very pleasant experience. They also met the Kraken and drifted on the ship in stormy weather for several months. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Arielle, rest for now. We can explore the city tomorrow morning."
Arielle shook her head while laughing. She had rested a lot. Her body did feel lighter now, but that didn’t erase the pain she still felt.
The small town they lived in had it all. It was made specifically to meet all the needs of the marine troops and their families. At the end of the north, there would be more official residences and shops like a small town in the capital.
Designed to meet all the needs of the marine troops, not all the people had the opportunity to go in and out without permission. Besides, this naval base had existed for a very long time.
Northendell itself had become one of the kingdoms capable of exploring the vast ocean. Some of the other empires, whether on the same continent or otherwise, would only be able to sail around the continent without daring to cross the ocean.
Ronan joined Arielle on the bed. She spread her arms out so the man could rest in her arms. After riding for hours, Ronan must have needed rest, and now it was Arielle’s turn to provide a place to rest for her husband.
"Hm.. this is fun."
"Just sleep, and don’t do anything weird!" exclaimed Arielle, pulling Ronan’s hand away from the string of her dress.
"Ehehe, I know."
"Sorry, I don’t think I can do it for the next few days. My body still hurts a lot."
Ronan nodded in understanding.
"Instead, I want to be hugged like this right before going to sleep. Is it possible?"
"Hm-hm, of course."
Ronan closed his eyes then returned Arielle’s hug more tightly. The man’s hot breath on her neck made her also feel drowsy, and she finally fell asleep together with him.
However, Ronan opened his eyes again and looked up. He couldn’t sleep at all. He was tired, but his old habit hadn’t gone, so he would never be able to close his eyes if he traveled outside the palace for several days. Later on, when he had returned, he would replace all the lost hours of sleep for a full day.
Ronan looked at Arielle’s sleeping face, and he couldn’t hide his smile. It was adorable how Arielle fell asleep first. He let go of the girl’s hug gently. His wife’s hand was light as a feather, so it was so easy for him to free himself.
His feet walked over to look out the window. The smell of salt coming from the sea was very strong. During his sea voyages, Ronan was chained to the bottom of the ship several times when he transformed into a wolf on a full moon night.
Captain Jacqueline, the former Admiral of Northendell, who was as inhuman as her father was the one who did it. However, the man had long been dead. Lazarus was still an apprentice on his ship before.
Ronan recalled how Captain Jacqueline didn’t feel the least bit guilty about injuring his wolf-form behind the bars with the excuse of weakening him so he wouldn’t attack the crew members of the ship.
The old man was born in the sea, so he really knew how the sea surface spoke. He could distinguish the height and low of waves caused by storms, types of monsters, or when the sea was friendly and calm. His ship, which was much simpler than Lazarus’ ship, was able to carry more than fifty crew members and always returned safely.
Unfortunately, because Captain Jacqueline loved the ocean so much, he didn’t even get married in his forties and died miserably when he contracted an endemic illness from one of the remote islands he last visited.
He died at sea, because his corpse was increasingly decaying and the ship was still very far from Northendell, so the crew agreed to throw their captain into the ocean.
"Lazarus!!!!"
