Chapter 670: The Ship & The Witch
However, for the legendary adventure group traveling aboard the ship “Silver”, such common sense did not apply.
Looking out through the bubble was supposedly clear. However, the outside world was painted with a hazy and illusory feeling.
However, what truly caught the attention was her left eye — a strand of golden hair hung in front, slightly veiling her left eye. Behind that strand of hair, her left eye rested peacefully, with no visible bulge of the eyeball.
She opened her emerald green right eye and quietly watched everything outside the ship.
Rock formations, soils, ores, rivers, cities—
In common sense, they were “obstacles” that were impossible to cross.
However, they couldn’t slow down the ship “Silver”.
“For ‘Silver’, those are just food.” A cold voice sounded from behind the girl.
The one-eyed girl turned her head.
The captain of the “Stoneheart Ship”— Celecia strolled over.
Celecia stared at the one-eyed girl who was looking back and slowly approached.
“I saw you coming out of Orpheus’s room just now.”
The girl in the white dress, known as Elle, did not answer the question.
She pursed her lips and replied softly, “Is that alright?”
“What do you mean?” Cecilia said with a faint smile, her gaze slightly dreamy, as if inebriated.
“I mean Arthur.” Elle glanced toward the back of the ship, “Although I haven’t been on the ship for long, I can tell that Arthur Searing-Fang is pursuing you.”
“That’s right.”
“What about Orpheus Denizoya?”
“That’s right, too.”
“So…” Elle paused and asked, “Who would you choose?”
Celecia looked at Elle with some surprise.
She smiled like a flower, “Why do I have to choose?
“It’s not just Arthur and Orpheus—Lily and Lucia love me too. They’re supposed to love me as I love them all.”
Celecia put her hand on her chest like an elegant lady.
However, what came out of her mouth was a debauched statement, “If they were to fight over me, it would only mean they love me too much… Love me to the point where they can’t stand the fact that I might love someone else in this world besides themselves.”
“Then, why would I be dissatisfied? I can only be intoxicated by this fanatical love. Unfortunately, my love for any of them is not enough to make me give up the others.”
When the delicate and beautiful witch laughed, she looked inebriated, with a faint blush, “Isn’t this a kind of sadness?”
“This shows they can’t bear my love yet.”
“…Miss Celecia, don’t you think this is a betrayal?” Elle was silent for a while, then spoke softly.
Celecia didn’t mind at all.
“Not at all. They still love me, and I still love them… This is a matter of the heart, both in love and on the battlefield. If anyone is dissatisfied or no longer fond of me, they’re free to leave my ship at any time, and I won’t hold them back—yet if they choose to stay, they should strive to earn my favor… Oh, and don’t call me ‘Miss’.”
She pointed her finger like a gun and closed one eye, “It’s fine to call me Mr., Your Excellency, or Captain. I should be a person of greater strength and authority than those mere titles.”
Those sounded like the words of a whimsical king.
She was obviously such a lovely girl with a fascinating smile, but the words coming from her mouth were so arrogant that it was surprising.
“Is it strange? It’s quite normal. After all, I’m the owner of Silver. Do I need to adhere to the conventions? I don’t live in the mortal world… Besides, shouldn’t laws be amended for me, trends be altered, and customs be changed in my favor?”
“The Pale Princess also has many lovers. Will people accuse her of corruption and betrayal because of the ghosts behind her?”
What she meant was — I’m the next Pale Princess.
She treated herself as a deity, holding herself to the standard of a true deity without self-doubt. It was an astonishing level of arrogance.
It was an egoistic fanaticism so intense that it could distort reality.
Even Elle couldn’t help but sigh.
Worse still…
When Cecilia spoke such wild words, her pupils were so bright and affectionate.
This was the most arrogant person Elle had ever seen.
However, she was not a fool.
It was as if the light was dancing in her eye — the light of wisdom.
It was not about being unable to see the rules of the human world.
On the contrary, it was self-confidence where no one could defy her — She could easily bewitch everyone’s minds with a poison called “love.” Even though everyone knew the love she gave wasn’t whole, no one could walk away from her side.
At times, the victims struggled in pain; at other times, they lost this precious clarity, becoming entranced.
Should I say… truly the legendary “Enchanting Poppy”?
—Interesting.
Elle raised her eyebrows, thinking so in her heart.
“…Celecia?” A male voice came from behind, “Where have you been, Celecia?”
A man with a muscular yet gentle bare upper body, wet black hair, and amber eyes hesitantly opened the cabin door.
His room was just opposite the captain’s cabin, which was the room closest to the bow.
He quickly found Celecia.
However, he also saw Elle at the same time.
The moment Elle cast her gaze on him, he felt like an electric shock jolted him.
“I’m sorry!”
He apologized hastily and quickly retreated to his room.
After changing his clothes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and came out the door.
“I’m sorry, Miss Elly.” This young man, surnamed “Dennisoya”, was tall and lean, with features like a philosopher’s statue. He seemed shy as he apologized to Elly, “I didn’t know you were here…”
Elle asked in a low voice curiously, “Why do you have to apologize?”
This question left him stumped.
Orpheus Denizoya scratched his head, not hesitating for too long. “I just thought… it might not be appropriate for you to see a man’s body. After all, you’re not married yet.”
Elle replied indifferently, “Compared with your captain, you are much more conservative.”
Orpheus was a little embarrassed, “The captain is not like that…”
“Alright, we have arrived at the Elegy Dukedom.” Celecia interrupted him and clapped her hands with a smile. “Our journey is nearing its end.”
