"Zeki, don't just stand still. Quickly find something to paddle with" said Aydin as he walked down to the sand around his feet.
"I have found one" said Zeki standing with one hand holding his waist.
"really?"
"I mean, why are you wasting your time looking for it if we can make it straight out of the body of the boat...".
"I'm right, aren't I?" The look at me as Haruki, Izumi and Aydin quietly did not reply.
"You're right," I said back to her gaze, bowing my head down between my legs as I, trying my hardest to hold back a laugh at her.

"Aydin, do you know which way we're going?" Izumi said as she rowed the boat with a medium-sized board in her hand.
"Seeing the sunset... And also the direction of the wind" said Aydin moving his gaze upwards.
"We'll go over there" he continued, pointing his index finger to the right.
The boat we were riding on was moving slowly turning to the right, I stared at Zeki and Izumi who seemed to be filled with sweat with their two hands unceasingly moving rowing the boat.
"Looking at the sea, I feel no need to bother looking for drinking water like in the desert," said Zeki while still moving the board he held.
"Then, why don't you just drink all the water" said Aydin as he raised his palm up.
"Sea water can't be drunk right away" I whispered softly in Zeki's ear.
"really? I know that sea water tastes salty, but isn't water still water" she turned to look at me.
"When you drink it, instead of thirsting, you'll get thirsty. So, try not to drink it no matter what, unless you have the cleverness that can process it," I said bowing my head over my two bent legs.

"Sa-chan, get up," Haruki's voice knocked back in my ears, I opened my eyes slowly as I felt the repeated touches on my cheeks.
"Have we arrived?" My words raised their heads towards Haruki.
"Look," said Haruki pointing to the right of our bodies, I turned to look at a large ship belonging to Aydin that was floating in the ocean.
The boat we boarded was getting closer and faster to the big ship, many times Aydin shouted to call Emre's name and some other people's names.
"Master!"
The boisterous screams sounded powerful from the boat as our boat moved closer to them. Aydin stood with his hand grabbing a rope that was thrown from the boat...
"Daughter, go up first," Aydin said, moving his palm towards me, I stood up as I felt Haruki pat my back gently.
My footsteps walked past Zeki and Izumi who were sitting in front of us. Curse the rope that Aydin had given before while I held it very firmly.
"Pull!" Shouted Aydin firmly beside me.
My body suddenly lifted upwards, the rope I was holding moved upwards. I looked at Haruki, Izumi, Zeki and Aydin who were watching from below...
"Daughter," Emre's voice made me look away at him, I held my hand up to grab his palm.
Emre lifted my body onto the boat, I turned to walk backwards trying to make room for them to work. My head turned, I looked at Eneas who was holding Cia...
I walked up to them, Cia directly pointed her palm towards me as I got closer stepping towards them. I tightly embraced Cia's body that had been in my sling earlier...
"Thank God you're okay" he said, releasing a hug and looking at me.
"Are you okay, Yoona?" Reveal me with a nod of the head from him.
"Thank God, I was worried about leaving you among them" I said back to him.
"They all treat me well."
"really? That means Aydin is teaching all his crew well" I turned my eyes to Haruki, Izumi, Zeki and Aydin who had stood among the men who swarmed them.
"It feels like a long time ago I left you Cia" I said as I kissed her cheeks repeatedly as she raised her head to look at me.
"You're only gone for a day, but when he finds out you're not around... The entire ship was preoccupied with her cries," Yoona said, moving her palms to Cia's head.
"A day?" I asked, Yoona nodded her head again.
How long is the difference between here and there?
I moved my head upwards as I stared at the people on the ship doing the same. A slightly large bird flew around the ship...
The bird flew low and then perched on Aydin's shoulders, all the crew surrounding Aydin scrambling to question the bird on his shoulders.
"That's a bird given from Queen Alelah" said Zeki who had stood beside me.
"The queen gave it?" I asked as I turned around to follow him who had walked near the door.
"When you were unconscious, Haruki made a pact with the Queen. So, in order to ease the alliance, Haruki asks the Queen to give him an animal that can be used to give them news..."
"Because Aydin spent his entire life in the ocean, so the bird... Aydin was going to keep it" he stopped his footsteps and turned to look at me.
"Are you tired? I can carry it if you're tired?" He walked closer.
"I was just going to take her to the room, I thought she couldn't sleep well because I suddenly left her," I said walking past her, my footsteps halted in front of my room.
"You sure?" His words that walked closer, grabbed the handle of the door of the room while opening the door by him.
"What do you mean?" Saying as I walked closer to the bed, let Cia's sleeping body lie on the bed.
"What's wrong?" I said it back as I sat my body beside the bed.
"Darling" said he, sitting on his knees before me, with his head leaning over my thighs.
"You why?" Reveal me who was answered by his strong sighs sounded.
"Zeki," I said again as I touched her cheek using my index finger.
"Is your head filled with the science of saving life?" He said without raising his head.
I sighed deeply staring at her behavior, squatting my palm down her hair. I lowered my head, I kissed Zeki's cheek until he looked at me with a look of disbelief as I raised my head back.
"Can I kiss him?" He told me to point his thumb at my lips.
"When I return to the Kingdom, I will be faced with many tasks as King. So can I get some encouragement from my future wife?" His face was getting closer.
"I understand" I said closing my eyes, I felt her fingers touching my cheeks. My head was slightly raised upwards as the warm gust of air he let out touched the skin of my face.
