Hunter took off his mask and closed the door. "Did we lose them?" "They ran after the king. Should we warp jump out of here? We got the gathered energy" Hunter sighs. "DO IT!" The ship starts lighting up like a rainbow before disappearing in the air. The ship is now in the Wildlands. Floating above cities created by criminals that were given a second chance.
Hunter sits on the floor, Robin comes to him, she takes off her mask. "He seemed to know you better than us, who is he to you?" Hunter looked at the floor looking disappointed.
"He was good, did you train him?" "That's how Bloodhearths fight, we use everything we have in our environment, if we know it well. Against people outside the clan, we are invincible, but when it comes to fighting each other, it's another story" He looks at his hand, he feels blood on it, not his. "How bad was he hurt?" Robin shrugs, "I don't know, but his face was bleeding, why did you hit him so hard?"
"He lost my father's rapier, if I meet him again, and I don't see it on him, then I'll fuck him up again." He laughs like nothing happened. "So, we need to get down, count what we got and start building our pirate empire on Teris and beyond it."
On the ground level, Theodore wakes up in his royal bed, at his castle. Fiora was on a chair, reading a book. "Morning luv!" He said, "it wasn't a dream wasn't it" Fiora gets up from the chair and slaps him. "Theodore Bloodheart! YOU SON OF A BITCH AND A BASTARD! You could've died." Theodore laughs. "So, I get to my cousin's castle, I get a beating, I go to my uncle's pirate ship, I take a beating, I sit in my bed, my wife is giving me a beating."
He burst into laughter. "If I was a comedian, everyone will fucking laugh." She kisses him where he slapped him and gets over him in bed. "You had a rough week huh." Theodore sighs. "Tell me about it. I need to find my rapier." She kissed him again. "You have to stay in bed, you and I need to 'play' some 'chess' "
Theodore throws her away on the other side of the bed, he is now on top of her, she slowly removes his shirt off, but the action had to end. Rinehart enters the room and sees Theodore and his wife starting an amorous intercours. "Sorry for interrupting their development, but we got a visit from the alliance, the prince of the 8th moon came for tax collecting."
Theodore gets off Fiora, "Later I'll be all yours." He said, bowing. He hastily goes to the wardrobe and picks a good suit, the same white suit he wears on special visits or occasions. "Get dressed and come to the throne room "Queen Bloodhearth." Said Theodore before smirking.
Rinehart and Theodore walk down a hallway, looking at each other, and blinking, they spoke in morse code, none could understand or hear them. They arrived in the throne room, the prince sitting on his throne. "What are you doing in my Throne?!" Screams Theodore.
The prince was wearing a white armor with the sigil of a spaceship and wings on it. His hair was blonde, his eyes were blue and had a tattoo of his mother on his neck.
The prince looked at his rings, his smug face told everything about him, his father gave him everything he wanted. "Theodore Bloodhearth!" The prince got up from the throne, he had the rapier. Theodore's heart beats like crazy, he wanted to strangle him, to put him on a spike.
"The former kings of the lands you now rule, paid tribute to the Alliance, I have come to ask for your debt. NOW!" Theodore didn't hear him. "Where did you get this rapier?" Theodore pointing to his own rapier who he lost 3 years ago. "Some bounty hunter called Soro or something like that came and gave it to me, for lots of credits said he owes some debt to an orange haired girl. Why do you ask?" The man has a more annoying face figure now.
"Was it yours?" He said with an annoying high pitched voice. "Indeed it is!" He slapped Theodore, "Correction!" He said again with a more annoying voice. "This is not yours so you have to say indeed it was!" One of his soldiers stepped in. "Sir sorry to intrude, but you are disrespecting a Bloodhearth, isn't this bad news to the whole alliance?" The prince hit the man in the head, his punch throwing the man to the ground.
"Stop being an Idiot!" Said Theodore, the man draws the rapier. "My father is head chief of the alliance in this sector, you should talk more lightly to me, more like a servant, that's what you are. All of you Bloodhearths are only bitches that are all talk."
Rinehart gets 7 steps back and hides behind the door frame. Theodore punched the prince with his left hand, and then grabbed his neck, the prince had no oxygen and let go of the rapier, the rapier making a metal, heavy sound. He tries to grab Theodore's hand and make it lose. Theodore raises the man up, the prince's legs don't feel the ground.
One of the guards tried to intervene and got on his knees and placed his head on the floor with his hands in front of the top of his head. "Let him go, king Bloodhearth." Theodore looks at the man and lets the prince go. The prince could hardly breathe. "That's right you can't kill me!" Theodore picks up the rapier, and looks at it, it wasn't in the best condition, but it could still cut, or throw heads off shoulders. "That's called mercy." Theodore turns to him.
"The alliance needs to know Bloodhearths don't pay tribute, and never will. Go to the alliance, and tell them they made me mad. Yes soldier?" The soldier on the ground hears these words. "Yes my king." Theodore goes to the prince. "You go directly to the alliance and tell them what happened, the pretty boy will stay here."
