Chapter - 30 Acts of Trying

I

When Captain Droo and his men returned to their big boat to sail back, Duri was with them, clinging sweetly to the Pirates’ Captain. It is undeniable . . . they seemed to be inseparable now.

“So, what really happened?” Princess Shelyca asked her husband. Prior to seeing the sweetness of Captain Droo and Duri, she heard the Captain stated that he was going to return the Thregonad Woman back to their Village.

Dareon smiled mysteriously. “Well, I said something that made him decides to try something rather than deciding based on his own wishes and how he understood the situation.”

“Hmmm, may I know what did you advice the Pirates’ Captain?” Curious, Princess Shelyca eyed him, waiting for his reply.

“Something that changed the whole situation,” he replied mysteriously again.

“Hubby, I am still confused. Tell me what did you say to him?” With hands-on her hips, Shelyca hissed at him. How mischievous he could get to hang her in the air.

Dareon was not able to control his laughter. She is getting piss-off and he enjoyed seeing her like that from time to time.

“You are so nosy, wife. What I told the Pirates’ Captain was just between the two of us. That was what we called, men’s talk,” He retorted with a raised right eyebrow.

“Ahh really, so you don’t want to tell me?” she insisted, still hands on her hips and with brows lifted with annoyance.

“I will think about it. You know, men’s talk is considered confidential.” Dareon is trying to hide his laughter. He just wanted to annoy her more.

“Ahh okay, fine!” Princess Shelyca turned her back from her husband and heavily walked going inside their bedroom. She locked the door.

Dareon did not notice that Princess Shelyca locked the door of their bedroom. He was still in a teasing mode. He shrugged his shoulders and got out of their hovel, to check one more time if there are no children and women still loitering around. It is almost eight o’clock in the evening and he set a curfew in their village.. No one should be outside except him and the warriors when the night falls at exactly eight o’clock to protect them from any wild animals’ attack.

Hours before; Captain Droo searched for Duri. He wanted to try the advice of Chieftain Dareon. What if his decision now would be the biggest mistake in his life? So, the Chieftain of the Thregonad is right. He needs to know what is inside her heart and in her mind.

He asked one of the Thregonad men to accompany him going to the hovel of Threma. Captain Droo knows that Duri was still there at that time.

“Duri can we talk?” he asked when he entered Threma’s hovel and saw Duri crying inside.

With tears, Duri nodded at him. “What do you need? I thought your group already sailed away,” she said nonchalantly.

“Hmm, Threma, can you please leave us alone first?” Captain Droo looked at Threma as he requested her to give him a solo time with Duri.

Threma nodded, looked at her friend, and smiled. She walked out of their hovel and closed the door behind.

“Duri, I just wanted to know if you really wanted to be with me, even if my life is like this. I am a vagabond, no permanent address, sometimes our group was like thieves, sometimes we kill to survive and I may not be that good man for you.” He started, his voice was low.

Duri suddenly looked at him, mystified. “Captain Droo, when I offered myself to you the first time; I was fully decided on what life I wanted in the future with you. Don’t you still understand it?” her voice seemed to be with irritation.

Captain Droo smiled, “Really? Ehh I just felt that you deserve a better life Duri. My kind of life will not give you a better life. My life is full of risks.” He walked near her.

“Don’t you say that my Captain? How good my life would be if you are not beside me? I want to be with you no matter how risky your everyday life is,” she muttered with tenderness as she put her hand on his chest.

“I might find another mistress on another island; how would you take it?” he inquired while looking at her with a hidden smile.

Duri felt blood rushed through her whole head. “Then you will see her dead the next day!”

Second Princess Trisha felt that she needs to do something to get the attention of the Duke of Sussex. She asked permission from the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Gold Valley to allow her to do some travels as she wanted to release some tensions inside her and somehow think of some good solutions to their current predicament.

Without hesitations, the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Gold valley permitted her to go, assigning one trained Delta warrior to accompany her as her driver, bodyguard.

“Princess Trisha, where do you want to go?” warrior Gano asked the princess as he put her luggage inside the limousine. Since it will be a long drive and long days, the Queen told the Delta warrior to bring the limousine so that the Princess will be comfortable in her travel.

“Let’s travel to the Kingdom of Sussex. I heard that the Duke of Sussex loves to visit this elite membership resort in Sussex to relax, especially if he is not feeling good. He is frustrated with my sister so I can guess that he might visit that resort in Sussex.“ Princess Trisha replied to the amazement of the Delta warrior.

“Sussex? That would be a twelve to fourteen hours land travel my Princess?” he exclaimed.

“Yes, I know. We will rest in any hotel that we will pass by from time to time. Let’s go.” Determined, Princess Trisha got inside the limousine and motioned to Gano to drive.

And so Princess Trisha and Warrior Gano as her driver traveled all the way to Sussex from the Kingdom of Gold Valley. They searched for the Mambu Shine Beach Resort and Hotel when they reached Sussex. Luckily, they easily found it as everyone they asked knew where the luxurious beach resort and the hotel can be found in Sussex.

However, Princess Trisha and Gano were not allowed to enter the resort as she was not a member of its club.

“Oh, I am sorry, I may not be a member but I am a Princess and I can pay you well. Just please let me in or allow me to be a member now.” She said with sweetness, trying to lure the gate’s guard but the latter seemed to be not convinced.

They were in that kind of situation when someone at the back horned his car so loud and repeatedly.

The passenger of the horning car even got out of his car and approached the guard.

“What the hell is going on in here guard? I am stocked there.” The handsome, arrogant man hissed as he knocked inside the limousine of Princess Trisha.

Princess Trisha immediately got out of her limousine. She plastered a smiling face. She was not able to see the face of the man while inside the car, only his half body but she was able to determine by the look into his suit, that he seemed to be an influential person and could help her get inside the resort.
Suddenly, Princess Trisha has been frozen. How lucky she could get!
