## Hero Story

### Her

Charlotte is the most outstanding heir to the prestigious aristocratic family in Sunset Sea.

With her superb swordsmanship, she won all the battles between nobles in the past without any suspense, and left the flaming red rose to the loser as an elegant closing ceremony.

She cherishes the honor established by her family's ancestors. They have used their extraordinary courage and perseverance to open up their territory today from the stormy waves. They have accumulated in countless intricate battles between city-states and battles against pirates invading coastal areas. It is a family honor for generations.

But bad luck suddenly came one day - all the ships assigned by the family died on their way to the Dongfeng Sea. The continuous shipwrecks caused serious damage to the family's reputation, and anxiety and doubts aroused among the civilians who lost their loved ones and depended on their lives. Great waves, many knights who had followed their families for virtue and honor left. Taking advantage of this gathering of pirates to attack again, the family was defeated in the battle with the pirates. The vicious dogs occupied the manor that once belonged to the nobles. The other members of the family decided to pay ransoms to restore the few remaining nobles.

Before a cruel and humiliating deal was struck, Charlotte fought again, finally smashing the pirates in heroic combat. But the source of the crisis that caused all the chaos is still unclear. In order to defend the pride and glory of the family, she decides to go to Fusang to find out the truth.

### The Night Before

One of Charlotte's stories was about witches.

When the witch appeared in the city-state, she was wrapped in dirty clothes, carrying a cloth bag that no one knew what was in it, and only a pair of narrow but divine eyes appeared on her face, stabbing those who walked towards her. Had to avoid. Later, the merchants and the commoners jointly complained. The former said that the witch stole the property and hid it in the cloth bag, and the latter said that the witch used the poison in the cloth bag to hurt people.

Charlotte vetoed the noble decision on whether to expel the witch, arguing that at least she needed to find out what was in her cloth bag. But in order to solve this trivial matter securely and to demonstrate the justice and authority of the nobles, the rest of the family reached a resolution of immediate expulsion.

But in such a long summer night's dream, Charlotte recalled the last episode of the story for no reason - the strange witch, before being driven away without dignity, cursed everyone present with vicious words more piercing than eyes suffer the same suffering as her.

The hem of her dirty clothes was covered with salt stains from the dried seawater, and there were no known scabs formed from various wounds on her arms. What was even more terrifying was that she obviously did not have a trace of it, and she was relying on spiritually.

The eyes of those present were a little frightened. No one wanted to be reduced to a terrible point where they could even give up their beliefs. Especially among nobles, losing honor was more painful than losing their lives. They don't live by bread, they live by believing in a belief that always fills their hearts and that they can fight for it whenever and wherever they are.

And today, after dawn, this misery is about to befall her family.

They will forever lose all the glory they once had, even if material life doesn't change much - provided that others can pay the pirates a ransom for this proud family in exchange for the peace of the city-state...and forget that they were in the sinking ship. Incidental incompetence.

After all, the evil bandits who occupied the offshore area, on the first day they broke into the noble manor, ruined the inside of the manor. They even teased their bound slaves with precious gold objects and played nasty dog-handling games in front of everyone. And that was something that would only be used at the momentous moment when her father took over the family authority.

Now, her family is going to pay ransom to such a group of gangsters in exchange for temporary peace. The place of agreement was beside their ship near the Caspian Sea. This group of people would stand in a fully equipped boat and look at the people of her family with eyes worse than that of slaves.

In the family's decision on whether to pay the ransom, Charlotte went with a sword and advocated to fight the villain to the end. But again, for the few remaining nobles, most of the votes were cast by the rest of the family for a shameful compromise. It's just that tomorrow, the object of dignified judgment is themselves.

The chronograph chimes for the third time tonight. After waking up from that dream, Charlotte had been standing at the window facing the sea, wiping her sword. In fact, as her swordsmanship improved, she hadn't lost a fight in a long time, let alone run away from an inevitable battle.

After this group of pirates occupied the noble manor, except for those that could be wasted and entertained, they were all transported to the big ship moored in the Caspian Sea. They had some hyena vigilance and would not easily live in the noble manor. But perhaps because a deal will be struck tomorrow, a large ransom will be paid, and the ships of the Caspian Sea will fall silent after a revelry of fire and liquor.

The hilt of the sword scraped off the dew that condensed on the blades of grass, and more ferns appeared in the field of vision. The slightly fishy sea breeze blew away her blond hair, and the sea was nearby. The only thing that can prevent the cruel reality from coming is a more cruel battle, and she is ready to fight back against fate with all her strength.

"End gracefully."

### **The Hurricane**

The hull, covered with petrified shells, loomed and undulated in the waves. This was Charlotte's third day aboard.

Previously, eight ships assigned to the East by the family sank in the Dongfeng waters. The successive shipwrecks caused great disturbances. The relatives of the missing sailors and the investigators had a lot of trouble. The big businessmen whose interests were damaged jointly put pressure on the nobles, and a large number of knights who had followed the family for virtue and honor left.

After repelling the invading pirates a few days ago, Charlotte is determined to go to the distant East Wind Sea to find out the hidden truth.

The salty waves surged up, pushing and breaking the foam on the water, and a group of seabirds that had been adorning the stern of the boat for several days flew away at no time, only flying arcs one after another above their heads. Between the sea and the sky, the clouds took on a thick and beautiful abnormal shape, and before the blackness completely surged up, a thunderous sound echoed.

When Charlotte noticed this strangeness, the waves carrying the big ship were already turbulent.

Two nights ago. The dark waters that had been sailing for several days were suddenly illuminated by flickering blue-violet spots, and the passengers on the ship flocked to the deck to see what seemed to be a reflection of the Milky Way. I don't know who brought up a terrifying rumor that prevailed in the sunset sea: those who die on the sea, their souls fall into the deep sea, and they will never rest in peace. If a ship sailing at night sees a ghostly light at sea, it indicates that...

"—The hurricane is coming!"

The voice of the first mate was slapped on the boat by the huge waves, and the surrounding water vapor was drawn by invisible forces, and even the water surface was twisted into a ferocious vortex. Charlotte stood still with her sword in hand. In this narrow cabin, there are more imminent dangers than hurricanes.

The crowd eager to survive, the villains who took advantage of the chaos, the screams and cries in the cabin, and the terrifying crash of the outside world trying to take everything collided back and forth in the cramped space. The crew member responsible for sealing the cargo hold was stabbed while blocking the villain, and fell into the hold with the scattered cargo, and was thrown into the crowd by the sudden violent vibration of the ship's body.

The crowd erupted into louder screams, mixed with blood and water, stunned a weak man among the passengers, but before he passed out, the whining "It's a ghost... it's coming to kill us" stunned him again. This fear spreads.

Before the anxiety caused a bigger disaster, Charlotte took a sword and stood at the place where the cabin was both the exit and the entrance. In this way, there was a hurricane behind her or a wave, and she didn't know whether it was a villain or a ghost in front of her. But she only used a pair of firm and confident eyes and a sword sharper than her eyes to face everyone in the cabin.

Even, before boarding the ship, hurricanes like this one she had only heard of in the family's recorded history. That is the ancestors of the family, for the mission of courage and honor, they have gone through the storm to reach the other side.

Now, that hurricane wave is coming to Charlotte again, and she has the same mission of courage and honor. In this sea, eight ships and crews from her hometown sleep forever in the deep sea. She is here for those who cannot lie down in the graves of her hometown.

The leading villain was pierced by a sword in the arm, the cabin was completely quiet, and the last light was concentrated on the rose in Charlotte's hand. Before the journey, she brought a rose and a sword, believing that the challenges she will experience will still end in her own victory.

"—Adjust the course!—Go away at full speed!"

At some point, the power and sound of destroying everything weakened, and the big ship escaped from the hurricane.

The storm has passed.
