Chapter 99: All Boats Should Burn!
*Celia’s POV*
Your response to my last statement might be, “But didn’t you go on a boat ride with Lia?” and my answer to that question is, it’s different! That boat ride was completely and utterly calm. Every time that I have been on a boat besides that ride with Lia, I got motion sickness.
Sure, this is a new body and all. But I do not have much hope of being able to withstand the shakiness of a boat on an ocean… Our boat was the queen’s private one.
Frankly, it was amazing looking! Rather than a boat, it felt like a moving house. The captain of this vessel, reassured me that motion sickness is rare when traveling on this boat. As it was designed to be as comfortable as possible. The Elves even helped with the design as well. Though, once we started moving, I still ended up getting sick…
At least I wasn’t throwing up… This ship cabins were more like fancy rooms. I think that for the entire ride, I will end up being stuck in this room… Well, I have Nia and Lia to pamper me. Which makes me feel far better than if I was alone on this trip.
There were even some royal maids that came along. They catered to our every need. Oddly, like they knew something, they treated Ria the same as us. Even though Ria is still wearing a maid outfit. Ria… please tell me that these are your people aren’t yours as well…
Ria: “I shall never lie to you, my dear Celia.” She replied in my head.
Celia: “…”
Ah, so that kingdom is literally in the palm of Ria’s hand… At any point, she can order the royal maids to kill the king and queen. My future wife is scary…
Anyway, I don’t think I have fully explained how messed up I am at the moment. I legit, cannot get out of bed at all. Not only will I be stuck in a nice room, but I have to stay in a nice bed as well… I suggested to just fly to Evaclearian, but my suggestion was shot down, as it would take hours of flying to reach it.
With a pout, I agreed to just stay in my room. Ah, truly, all boats should burn… I finally started to feel better, but then the boat shook like crazy. What the fuck!? Is the ocean just doing this shit out of spite?…
Nia: “Celia, there is a giant sea monster attacking our boat. Do not worry, we shall deal with it.” She explained.
Celia: “Good luck.” I reply with a weak voice.
All three of them gave me looks that basically told me that I wouldn’t be able to go help them. Fair. In this state, I am more like a wet noodle. I would be more of a hindrance than a help to them.
Not ten minutes later, they came back, completely unscathed. Was it that easy to deal with? No. They do look tired, they just didn’t get hurt or dirty at all.
Celia: “How did go?” I ask.
Ria: “Celia, it was harder to deal with than we thought that it would be.” She answered.
Celia: “That so? Well, I am glad that you all killed it without getting hurt.” I say with a smile.
Granted, Nia and Ria could have easily dealt with it. But again, they must hide their true power unless absolutely necessary, or no one besides us is around to see. Ah, in reality, all of my future wives are scary…
*Hours Later.*
The ride didn’t take as long as I thought that it would, and now we’re in a port city. Shockingly, this kingdom looked to be far more advanced than Tuseoun. Maybe because the people here live longer? Who knows.
Once on land, we rested at a cafe for an hour. I didn’t stop being sick yet, and drinking some tea while relaxing with my girlfriends, is a good way to do that. That is, assuming that I do that on land…
Ria: “Everyone, I am sorry to say, but we cannot make it to the capital city today.” She said.
Lia: “Why not?” She asked.
Nia: “There was a problem with our carriage. Don’t worry, we will be able to leave tomorrow morning.” She explained in Ria’s stead.
Ria: “Quite. Now, I have already booked us an inn to sleep in for tonight.” She said.
Nia: “I already know where it is, I shall take Lia with me.” She said before getting up from her seat.
Lia: “What? Why not go together?” She asked with a confused expression.
Nia: “Ria wants to ask Celia out on a date. She got just a little jealous after we had dates with her.” She said with a cheeky tone.
I thought that she was joking, but when I looked at Ria, she had a blush on her face. Really? Girl… you’re so much older than me. Why are you blushing at just asking me out on a date?… Nia dragged Lia away, and now it was just Ria and me.
Celia: “So, a date? How come? I thought that you wanted to wait until I was older?” I ask with a curious tone.
Ria: “Imitate things will have to wait until then. But I wish to go clothes shopping with you, and to end off our day with dinner.” She replied with a blushed face.
Celia: “Does that mean that I am going to be able to see you in a dress, and not a maid outfit like always? Let’s go right away! You already know where we can buy clothes, right?” I ask after I got up from my seat, and grabbed her hand.
Of course, I super overpaid for our tea, and left a few Platinum Celestium on our table before we left. Just like I guessed, Ria already knew where a clothes shop was.
Seeing Ria in beautiful clothes, was shocking. But it felt somewhat off. I asked her to switch to her true form, and then we were able to find outfits that matched her far better. We spent many hours at this place, it was far more expensive than the place back in Tuseoun, but it was worth every Platinum Celestium that I spent.
Ria in her true form, was now wearing a dark purple dress, with similar colored jewelry and shoes. Despite what she said about being intimate, she still allowed us to hold hands. And that is what we did while walking to the restaurant.
This is just a port city, but somehow, this kingdom is already far better than Tuseoun. The food was better at this place, than at Amelie’s restaurant. I haven’t even been here for more than a few hours, and I already like it far better than Tuseoun…
During dinner, Ria and I talked about various things. She even revealed to me her secret. Like Nia, she can see into the future, but only a day ahead. Unlike Nia’s ability, Ria will always change her memories of the future to be in line with what will actually happen.
To end the night, Ria picked me up in a princess carry, and flew us to the inn that we will be staying at tonight. Ria had her own room, but Lia and Nia will be sleeping with me.
Cutely, they stayed up until I made it there. Then we went to bed together. Besides the boat ride, today was absolutely amazing! Nothing bad will happen from now on! I am sure of it! I didn’t just jinx myself, right?…
