Facing our own human race
Ready to commit our sins again
With sons and daughters pay
The blood on our hands
But it could change if we stand up firm and take the lead
When I was free, I was named
A generation unafraid
For the king to come, be brave
And fight on the battlefield
Even on the darkest night,
We will be our sword and shield, our guardian
And God ours
Screams and cries ring out
We may be the first to fall
Everything will stay the same, or we could change it all
If we burn the battlefield. "
Through those lyrics, with her eyes closed, she remembered how those kings, dukes, and princes treated their slaves, the families and the villages. It made her heart ache. She couldn't understand why this was happening. If they were seeking peace, then... 'Why would they fight for it? Was it worth it? All those losses would they remember them?'
Aravis's thoughts stopped as she heard the man's voice. She turned around to face him.
"A-And I ki-killed many... I-It is the on-only thing I-I could d-do for th-them..." "And I killed many... It is the only thing I could do for them..." Afterward, she bowed to the sailor and spoke with her angelic voice once again without giving him a chance to answer. "I-I wish yo-you a go-good and pe-peaceful night."
"Rest well, milady."
With those words, the young princess returned to her bedroom and the old sailor back to do his duties.
The night passed peacefully without any attack from mermaids or any other creature. Even the sea was so calm that the water's surface looked almost smooth, like a mirror. As the sun started to poke through the horizon, the crew woke up and prepared for their duties. The tired and sleepy night shift was replaced and allowed to rest finally. The maid who was watching over Aravis also woke up. She yawned softly and stretched before standing up and checking on the Princess. Aravis slowly opened her eyes when the sunlight touched her closed eyelashes. The diamond eyes opened up and shined. She was getting used to the bright light, which was good for her. She yawns and stretches up her arms. Her messy black hair simultaneously made her look cute and funny "....hmm?" She looked at the maid.
