Chapter 172 - Messenger From The South Sea (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

I thought that I would have some days off without thinking about the army and all of my problems. I even had planned to do casual things with Tom and Sanji and I wasn't talking about s.e.x, you know. As much as the s.e.x felt good, I couldn't indulge myself in it too much. I was still young and I should have spent my days outside instead of rolling in the sheet with two hot men. I even had planned a horror tour for the three of us.

However, things didn't always go the way we wanted it.

It was lunch time, and we were having lunch together in the dining room when Siji came out of nowhere. His expression was solemn as he bowed his head a bit to me.

”What is it?” I asked him. Anything that could make his expression solemn must be really important.

”Milady, we have news from South Sea.”

My body stiffened when I heard South Sea was mentioned. It must be news about my father, right?

Sanji and Tom's expression grew somber as they heard it, too. Sanji and I had been waiting for any piece of news from the South Sea, but this one was the first to come.

”Tell me.” I put down my spoon and fork, and turned to face him.

”Actually, it was a messenger from the Queen herself.” Siji said again.

Messenger from the Queen?

”Our men met her when she reached the land, and brought her to us as soon as possible. Maybe you want to meet her?”

”Let's go!” I stood up, didn't bother to ask where they held the messenger.

Siji bowed down again as he opened the door to my house in their dimension. It was quick and in a second, I had entered my house with my cloak dr.a.p.ed around my shoulder. I glanced behind me and found out that Siji and Tom were following me. I couldn't find Sanji, but from the way Siji looked at me, I knew that he had explained it to Sanji to Sanji couldn't follow us.

Well, at least for now.

I focused my attention towards my guest who had been waiting in the guest room. A beautiful lady in green was sitting on the wooden chair with her hands on her lap gracefully. As expected of the people under the Queen, they were all as graceful as their Queen.

As much as I wanted to stare at her, I remembered my main priority in coming here. Taking the main seat as the host, my arrival was finally noticed by her.

”This servant greets Milady, the Master of The White Army.” She bowed down a bit while speaking in a soft tone. Even her movement was smooth, so lady like.

”Rise.” I commanded. ”I heard that you came from the South Sea?”

”Yes, Milady.” She answered softly without making eye-contact with me.

”And may I know what does the Queen want from people on the land?”

”This servant came to see Milady on account of Lord Satya to deliver a message to Milady.” The woman stepped forward and out of nowhere, accompanied by the presence of water, a scroll of paper appeared in her hands. It was like a magic, but I didn't have time to admire it.

She bowed down as her hands were offering the scroll of paper to me. I frowned a bit. Who was this Lord Satya she was talking about?

Still, it wouldn't be polite to let her in that position for much longer. Nodding my approval at Siji, Siji approached her and took the paper from her hands. He even opened it right on the spot and read it.

”Hidden Village, M Province. You know where to find it. Bring the Black Creese to the South Sea.” He read.

Hidden Village, M Province? Where was it?

”Since the message has been delivered safely, this servant will excuse herself.” She bowed again and with a wave of her hand, water came spiraling up around her. When the water dropped down, she disappeared, leaving wet patch on my floor.

Damn, she left even before I could ask about my father. She even wetted my floor! Who was going to clean it up now?

I could feel my face darkened. ”From now onwards, if the Queen sends a messenger, let her wait in the garden. That way, their water can be used to water the plants.” I gritted my teeth in annoyance.

”Yes, Milady.” Siji answered. ”About the message...”

”Do you know where it is?” I turned to look at him and Tom.

”Honestly speaking, I don't.” Tom shook his head helplessly.
