I blink, surprised. Why has my husband given up so fast and so eagerly? He was supposed to be stubborn and unyielding.
«You're more qualified to do so,» he then adds.
«To do what?» I mumble, lost in this mess.
«To solve the situation.»
«Oh, you want your wife to save your life?»
«Yes, I do,» he chuckles. He's so relaxed, even while surrounded by pirates. «I believe in you that much, ah?»
«What's the matter?»
I glance at the pirates and finally recognise the captain.
Alexander must remember him from his first life as they haven't met in this one yet. Hence, I indeed am the only one capable of solving this.
«When have high officers from Polis started attacking ships in pirates' clothes?» I inquire, my hands on the hips and a stern expression on my face. «What will people think if a voice of this gets out?»
The captain observes me for a minute with his eyes wide.
