I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

Hancock pondered for a few seconds, then walked into the castle with his two sisters.

Reiju followed.

Compared with the classical and elegant Nine Snake Island Palace, the openness and grandeur inside the dome made Hancock feel a little uncomfortable.

For such a luxurious and magnificent hall, some things that happened in the past would always pop up in her mind.

But she quickly discarded all these memories that should not exist.

"Pirate Empress, please come with me."

Reiju quickened his pace and led the way.

Several maids passing by in the hall secretly looked at Hancock out of the corner of their eyes, shocked by her beauty, and then looked at the two strong women behind her who were more than four meters tall.

After passing through the front hall, the group came to the atrium filled with the fragrance of flowers.

"There is actually a... flower garden in the castle."

Hancock couldn't help but slow down, and his eyes fell on the colorful flowers around him.

Most of the women on Nine Snake Island like flowers and even give themselves names that sound the same as flowers.

Hancock is no exception.

It's just that as a king, she rarely expresses this hobby of hers.

Reiju responded: "My lord often stays here. He said that flower viewing sometimes makes people forget their worries for a short time."

"Yeah……"

Although Hancock agreed a little in his heart, his tone was extremely indifferent when he spoke.

I don't know if it was because of the sea breeze, but a bright rose in the flower bed suddenly came close to me.

Hancock reached out his hand to take it off without thinking, but suddenly he retracted his hand when his finger hurt.

He raised his hand and saw a cut on his finger, with a few drops of blood flowing out.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Marigold and Sandersonia looked at the blood on Hancock's hands and suddenly said extremely nervously.

Hancock raised his hand to signal his two sisters not to get excited, and then looked at Reiju: "These flowers...are they conscious?"

"I don't know...but these roses can only be viewed from a distance, not touched."

Reiju smiled calmly, "After all, they have accidentally eaten the blood of adults. Even to strangers, they will release their flower language...'enthusiasm'."

"The Ai family has never seen anything like this..."

Hancock murmured in surprise, wiped the blood off his fingers calmly, and put his hand back into his cloak.

Enter the back courtyard.

Reiju brought Hancock into the reception room and told a maid: "Go and make a pot of good tea to entertain the guests."

After saying that, he looked at Hancock and said, "Then please wait here. If you come back, I will inform you about the visit of the Pirate Empress, so I won't disturb you for now."

Reiju exited the reception room, leaving Hancock and Marigold accompanying him.

Soon, the maid came in with tea.

Raise your hand and pour the water from the teapot into the cup.

Suddenly, Hancock looked at the maid's wrist, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "What's wrong with your hand?"

The maid was startled for a moment, then she quickly covered her wrists with her sleeves and said hesitantly: "It's nothing... Miss."

"You clearly have a scar on your hand, why did you hide it?"

Hancock could see clearly that the skin was waxy and brown, with rough wrinkles like dry tree bark.

There is no doubt that he was burned by high temperature!

"Miss, I just accidentally got burned while making tea. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

The maid quickly made tea and turned around without wanting to mention it.

The more anxious she was to leave, the more suspicious Hancock became.

"Marigold!"

"Yes, eldest sister!"

Marigold understood Hancock's meaning, blocked the maid's way, and raised her hand to push up the long sleeves of her clothes.

Suddenly, shocking scars on his arms came into view.

The maid was a little nervous, and suddenly she knelt on the ground with a thump, her body trembling like chaff.

"Sister, have you seen it?!"

Marigold said angrily, "Even if it's just one arm, there are already so many scars. You can only imagine how many scars she still has on her body!"

Sandersonia took a deep breath, and her eyes became fierce: "I didn't expect that man's heart to be so dark, and he could be so cruel to his servants!"

"It's a shame that we came all the way from Daughter Island to find him and give him back this thing!"

Marigold squeezed a slender box in her hand tightly, "He deserves to die!"

At this moment, Hancock's face was as frosty as ice, and even the surrounding temperature seemed to have suddenly dropped a few degrees.

She has never forgotten the tragedy of her past as a slave.

Every time she thought of those bloody beatings and humiliations, she would suddenly wake up from her sleep and sweat all over her body.

It's like an indelible scar, it has been deeply imprinted on my heart, and I can still feel pain from time to time.

She could already imagine how Joel would humiliate these weak and helpless women for fun.

Hancock tried hard to control the anger in his heart, looked at the maid, and said in as gentle a tone as possible:

"The Ai family will give you a chance to call over all the women who have been tortured here. The Ai family will allow you to live on Nine Snake Island."

"..."

The maid raised her head and shook her head in confusion, "I don't want to leave here! No matter what, I don't want to leave here!"

Marigold said to Hancock: "Sister, it seems that the pain she has experienced has been severe enough that she has lost the consciousness to resist."

Sandersonia felt the same way: "It's so sad. If we hadn't escaped from that place at that time, I'm afraid we would have completely lost ourselves like her..."

"Shut up, Sandersonia, and don't mention that again!"

Hancock's face was covered with a deep haze. After coldly interrupting Sandersonia's words, he looked at the maid again,

"Ai Jia asks you again, if you are willing to go back with Ai Jia... If you are not willing, Ai Jia will help you get rid of the pain."

She has already made a decision for the other party. If she cannot leave here, she will let the other party die happily.

"I will not leave here, it was the master who saved me from the hands of those slave traders!

He gave me freedom, gave me a job, and gave me hope. If you must take me away, then kill me now! ! "

The maid looked determined, closed her eyes and waited for the kill.

"Slave traders..."

"Master took you in?"

Sandersonia and Marigolu looked at each other, and they suddenly realized... something seemed wrong about this matter.

"What happened to your injuries...?"

Hancock's tone softened.

"It was because I wanted to escape from those slave traders before, but I was discovered by them and tortured for a long time...that's why I became like this."

There was a flash of pain in the maid's eyes, and tears burst from her eyes, forming two tear tracks on her cheeks.

If Hancock hadn't pressed her again and again, she would never have thought about or mentioned this sad incident again.

For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Hancock was silent for a long time, and then slowly said:

"It turns out that the Ai family misunderstood..."
