Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 308 The Imprisoned Mermaid (27)

On the vast Atlantic Ocean, dozens of warships formed a neat formation.

The "San Martin" stood in the center of the fleet, its masts towering into the clouds, its white sails flapping in the wind like a giant dragon spreading its wings. The sea was surging, and the waves hit the ship's hull, making a low roar.

The huge bow is carved with exquisite patterns that symbolize royal majesty and religious beliefs.

The gun muzzles on both sides of the ship are neatly arranged, with the black barrels pointing into the distance, vowing to destroy any enemy that blocks the fleet's advance.

The flags at the stern fluttered in the wind, the Castilian flag, a symbol of royal power, and the Catholic cross flag, representing the extension of God's will, complementing each other.

The golden sunlight rose behind the fleet, and the morning light shone on countless flags, giving them a layer of sacred glory.

This is a fleet that carries the glory and ambition of the empire.

A long-lost smile appeared on Reg's face.

Soon the fleet surrounded Reg's ship, with the fleet's main ship next to it.

The main ship was very tall, and soon soldiers lowered a ladder and brought in several buckets of drinking water.

The sailors rushed to fill their mouths with water, drinking bowl after bowl without blinking.

The nectar went down my stomach, moisturizing and cooling my throat which was about to get on fire.

Reg also had a few drinks.

Then a tall man in a general's uniform slid down the rope from the main ship.

"Your Highness the Prince."

The man had the same bronze skin as Reg, deep eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and eyes that were amber with a golden tint.

Mark looked at the other person's red and black high-collared uniform, white tight breeches and brown high leather boots, and a silver sword on his waist.

By the family emblem embroidered on the chest of the man's clothes, Mark recognized that this was General Perez from the Axo family.

"General Perez."

Reg walked towards Perez with a relaxed pace, curling the corners of his lips.

The two men were of similar age, and although they couldn't be considered close friends, Reg had frequented Perez when he was young, and as both were sailing enthusiasts, they could talk to each other.

"His Majesty the King sent me to patrol the nearby waters. I heard that pirates in England have been rampant recently and have robbed many of our merchant ships."

Perez's adjutant said angrily, "Those English rats can only steal the fruits of victory at sea!"

Reg snorted and laughed: "They won't be happy for long. His Majesty will start a war soon."

Perez's gaze fell on Odin, who was not far away. "The eagle beast that His Royal Highness raised is really smart. It led us all the way here."

"We were short of water on the boat for a few days, and we thought this little creature had seen God before us."

Odin flapped his wings behind him in dissatisfaction.

Reg asked Mark to feed it a sea fish.

"Oh, by the way, Your Highness, there is something I need to report to you—"

Before Perez could finish his words, Reg heard someone calling him from the big ship opposite.

"Uncle Reg—"

Reg looked up and saw a young girl with fiery red curly hair clinging to the fence and waving at him.

Perez: "...Yes, your niece, Princess Magalina, is here too."

"His Majesty the King said he would arrange a marriage between you and the princess."

...

Margaret wore a beautiful light yellow palace dress with lotus-root sleeves. The fluffy skirt was embroidered with white lace patterns and decorated with beautiful pearls and diamonds.

Her fiery red curls were spread out over her chest, and she wore a very beautiful feather hat on her head.

"Hurry! I want to go down!"

The pretty princess said to the attendant beside her.

The maid on the other side advised her: "Princess, your skirt is too big. It's too dangerous to go down. You will fall into the sea!"

"Shut up, Anna!" Margarina said nonchalantly, "Uncle Reg will catch me!"

"I heard that Uncle intercepted quite a few merchant ships this time and must have seized a lot of jewels. I wonder if they found the legendary ghost ship!"

Margarita excitedly asked someone to help her send it down.

Reg, who was a head shorter than him, frowned as he looked at his niece who was smiling diagonally above him.

In the past, because Magalina had beautiful reddish-brown curly hair and was smart and cute, Reg was quite nice to her, but it was only the tolerance of an elder towards a younger person.

If she didn't have red hair, Reg wouldn't even bother to look at her, let alone have any romantic feelings for her.

What's more, Magalina is only 14 years old!

Now she is actually engaged to him and her own daughter.

Is his brother's brain filled with horse manure?

Damn it, he won't marry her!

"Uncle Reg!"

At this time, Margarita also came down the ladder from above.

Reg frowned at her. "Being at sea is different from being in the palace. What are you doing on the fleet?"

Margarita said, "My father has allowed me to come with the fleet to find you."

The fleet traveled for a total of one month and only recently met Odin and learned of Reg's whereabouts.

"Father asked you to return immediately to the palace to discuss the engagement with the Holy See."

When the Holy See was mentioned, the disgust in Reg's eyes deepened.

"When did those old fogies who only knew how to sell tickets to heaven start interfering in my marriage?"

Perez thought to himself that he was still as outspoken as ever.

Fortunately, this was Reg's ship, and there were no priests sent by the Vatican on board.

Perez looked at the beautiful Magalina and said to Reg with a smile: "Bless you, Your Highness. Your union with the princess must be God's will. God will bless you."

Magalina was very happy when she heard this. "Thank you! General, please come to our reading ceremony!"

Perez smiled, "Of course my princess, what could be more delightful than being invited by you?"

Reg refused without a second thought: "No! Magalina, I won't marry you."

There was no way he would obey the emperor and the Vatican and marry Magdalena, let alone complete the last ceremony between husband and wife in public.

"Perez, please send a fleet to take the princess back."

Magalina showed a look of shock: "Uncle Reg!? Why?"

She was not opposed to marrying Reg. After all, Uncle Reg was so handsome and tall. Even though his temper was not very good, Magalina felt that he was not as cold and cruel as others said.

Reg was too lazy to bother with this brainless niece and asked Perez to make the arrangements right away.

"No! No! I won't leave!"

Reg looked coldly at the beloved princess and said to her, "In the fleet, Perez is the supreme commander! Everyone, including you, must obey his instructions! No one is allowed to disobey."

Magalina panicked: "No! Uncle Reg! I won't marry you. Don't let General Perez send me back. I haven't had enough fun yet!"

She had only been out for a month and didn't want to go back to the palace and be lectured by the etiquette ladies-in-waiting all day long.

It’s so fun on the sea!
