Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 170
The next day,
All of them are now preparing to go down to the sea with the help of Captain Chris, a middle age man, who is still strong in his physical, and also one of those assigned by King Mizuto to control the sea area in Coastal Land. He is the person who took up the case of missing fishermen over this past few months.
“Your Highness, Captain Chris report for duty.”
“Aww … You are here finally Captain. Let me introduce all of you now. These are six princes of the Dream Land that I told you about before and this three beautiful lady is the princess and one just a companion which I wanted her to be my daughter in law but already being rejected. ”
Ayana become sweat drop after listening to that.
Captain Chris opened his hat and began to bow a sign of respect to them all.
“With the cooperation of all of us I hope this matter can be resolved quickly and the lost will be able to return. But if they can’t, at least there is an explanation behind what happened. I can’t sleep for so long now, thinking about this.” King Mizuto began massaging his head. As if to show how big the problem was at that time to him.
“Don’t worry. We will try our best.” Prince Ray said to him now.
Like usual, in a split of second King Mizuto is back to his cheerful state after hearing what Prince Ray just said right now. Quickly he ran in front of Prince Ray and shook the man hand there several times. Up and down in rather fast speed.
“Right, you will do your best right? I know you do!” King Mizuto ask in energetic making Ray didn’t really know how he should react now. Those who saw were only able to refrain themselves from laughing.
Seeing his King do unusual behavior like he always did, Captain Chris cleared his throat there before saying something that would make a King Mizuto stop bothering Prince Ray right away.
“Your Highness, I brought the report that you wanted yesterday.” He said.
King Mizuto stopped his action right away and now approached Captain Chris there, leaving Ray who was now clearly relieved as his hands finally released by the king.
“That is why I keep silent.” Leo, who stood beside Ray whisper to him now while smiling.
“Ah ha. Finally, we get this.” King Mizuto talks happily as the report is in his hands. He then turned to Jieun and handed the document to her, who was the person who asked about it yesterday.
“Here Princess Jieun. You asked me yesterday about the record of the time, place and day of the disappearance. The record it’s all in here.”
Jieun took that politely and continue to browse the contents of the report.
“Something interests you?” Lia asks Jieun now as Jieun seems to be too focused at this point.
“Hmm… Its interesting that the time of all the disappearance is the same and since from the first one, I reckon here the next loss happened three days later at the same time and place.”
“What time is the disappearance?” Eun-Woo also wants to know about that.
“10 a.m.” Jieun said the answer. That time is not long now. They are now 9 am on the clock.
“Can you count if today is the day that probably something will happen?” This time Ethan spoke up.
“Already did.” Jieun in fast state there. She already did the calculation in her mind since before.
“Today is the day.” She said making everyone feel relaxed and nervous at the same time.
“I already feel the excitement.” Haru declares there even in that nervous state. They are not really experienced in fighting in the sea, that’s why the feeling is somewhat strange. Even Syaoran look worried here.
“Oh my my… What an evolution! You are so genius Princess Jieun.” King Mizuto was clearly impressed at the time.
Jieun can just grin in embarrassment as its not really an evolution or something. Its just her instinct.
“I’m sorry as we didn’t realize that sooner Your Highness and aimlessly doing a search all this time.” Captain Chris who also just realized this matter quickly apologized there.
King Mizuto suddenly cried there and approached Captain Chris now and then held his hand.
“Umm… Your Highness?” Even Captain Chris has a hard time dealing with him.
“Don’t worry, Captain, I truly understand what happens. You have a lot of other responsibilities too besides this, and it is not surprising when you overlook something. But me! I as a king should not overlook this matter. No one to blame for this except me. Me! ” Dramatically, King MIzuto crying like a river.
“Ugh!” Lia starts to feel like getting angry with the drama that suddenly appears.
“May I ask something?” But after calming herself, Lia began to ask while looking at King Mizuto there. She still need to ask anyway even if she can’t handle the King.
And now, in a split second, King Mizuto is back to his normal self and after he wipes his tears with his handkerchief, only then does he answer.
“Yes Princess Lia, what do you want to know?”
“Is there a place on this land or else, where we can see the area where the fisherman is missing? It doesn’t matter if it’s far away.” Lia asks that.
King Mizuto looked at Captain Chris as he knew the Captain must know something regarding that. Seeing King Mizuto’s gaze on him, Captain Chris quickly answered this question.
“There is a uninhabited island around there, which sometimes fishermen will stop there to rest. But if the tide is high, which usually happen at night the island will decrease and not suitable for anyone to be there because it is quite dangerous.”
Lia nodded there in understanding.
“Thank you.” She said. Really appreciate that.
“May you tell me what’s on your mind?” Ray asks as he knows Lia is thinking about something.
“I know originally we agreed with all of us to go to that place to investigate, but I think we need to split up here. If one group is missing, at least one other group will know what is happening.” Lia explaining there.
“So you said, one group will investigate at sea and the other one will watch what happen from a distance from the uninhabited island?” Leo quickly shortened what Lia really meant there.
“Correct!” Lia confirming that.
“I didn’t think that is the bad idea. We should have a second option too.” Syaoran also said he agreed.
“If we want to get there at 10 am, we should move now. It takes 30 minutes to get there with our ship.” Captain Chris suddenly broke in there now it’s already 9.15 a.m.
With a sigh, Ray splits the group now,
“Okay then, group one that will be at the sea is Captain Chris, Jieun, Eun-Woo, Syaoran, Ethan, Haru and group two will be me, Lia, Ayana, and Leo.” After thinking deeply and following the strategy from inside of his head, Ray decided there.
“Eun-Woo and I will communicate to each other from afar. Leo is fast in everything while Ayana and Lia can back us up. That’s why I choose them to be on the uninhabited island. Any objection?” Ray asked now for the last time before they get going.
As Ray always makes a good judgment, often no one will object to his plan.
“Nope!” Haru answered for them all.
“Then let’s go now Captain Chris.” Ray said to the captain now.
“Be safe!” King Mizuto said, really hoping for that.
So they started moving towards a rather large ship there. Captain Chris himself will be driving it.
“Do you have a safety boat inside?” Lia asks Captain Chris as soon as they get into the ship.
“We got three under the ship.” Captain Chris replied to her.
“Please give us one when we get off of that uninhabited island soon.” Lia politely asking that as if anything happen, at least they can get back to the land using that.
“Will do.” Captain Chris agreed. He knows what the princess is actually thinking. He also already plans that on his mind, even if the princess didn’t say anything.
“I hope no one is seasick here!” Captain Chris said loudly suddenly there.
“What do you mean by that?” Haru asks but Captain Chris just smiles with a hidden meaning. Then, he continued to steer the ship slowly out of the deck, towards the middle sea.
As soon as they moved quite a distance from the deck, Captain Chris pressed something which made the ship move too fast there conveying their eyes as if unable to see the beautiful scene again.
“Captain!” Haru screams there as he is the one that feel dizzy now.
“Sorry! The place is in the middle of the ocean,quite far and only with maximum speed will we be able to arrive at the right time. Hold tight!”
