"I--"
"Just keep quiet for a moment and let me explain" I repeated.
Good! Seeing that she had quieted down and was looking at me with a questioning gaze, I opened my mouth and chose my next words carefully.
"Annabelle?"
"Yes, Captain"
I pointed my hands at Nina, "This is Nina" I paused briefly, then continued "She is my wife".
Annabelle blinked at me weirdly before her eyes flashed over to Nina with a more observant gaze.
"Nina?"
"Yes, Prince Wyatt"
"This is Annabelle" I pointed both my hands to Annabelle "She is a member of my crew"
"And my teacher" Annabelle uttered, immediately after I finished speaking.
"Yes, I am also her teacher and she is my student" I explained.
"...Captain, is that it?" Annabelle asked. Her lips were thinly pressed together. Surprisingly, she seems put off by the fact that I got a wife, or that she won't be the only woman onboard the ship
