Chapter 836

After a week of sailing from Jowa, they arrived at an island near Malac. Chris, the leader of the mercenaries, peered through his binoculars and cautioned Abigail, “These islands are notorious pirate hotspots, especially with this thickening fog. We need to stay vigilant from tonight onward!”

“Absolutely! Protecting the Queen is our duty!” The deputy leader, Abe, quipped. He was young and enjoyed flirting, but since he couldn’t flirt with Sage, he turned his attention to Abigail.

Abigail smiled at him. “In that case, I shall entrust my safety to you, Abe.”

Taken aback by her statement, his enthusiasm surged. “Certainly, my Queen!”

Having encountered his fair share of women, Abe realized that Abigail was the only one who could engage with his jests while maintaining seriousness.

“Yeah, it’s our duty to protect her. You’re not trying to steal all the glory, are you?”
