Why Did Your Light Ran Away?
A slight hum of her lips. “Leola. You can call me Leola.” It was her middle name, not everyone knew that. They only knew Venus or Princess. Really, did anyone bother to learn her full name?
She looked to be thinking her choice of words. She knew how worried Tuya could get over her, some of the guards were like that— Just not as open as Tuya. Like christian, he worried, but would bluntly say it usually instead of fretting like a mother hen over her chicks.
Actually, the mother hen was Ferio and everyone else were the other animals on the farm.
And Venus is the one chick on the whole farm.
After a while, the female spoke. "Xochipilli. I want to go to Xochipilli island."
"Leola. Right, got it...!" It was actually a much prettier name than 'Nessie'. Really, what was Tuya thinking? Even if she was hiding that she was a princess, calling her 'Nessie'?! That was just in bad taste.
Still, there were more pressing matters at hand. Namely the princess. The pirate forced himself to focus on her, nervously waiting for her response to his question. He honestly couldn't remember her being so...rebellious? Venus had always been so energetic, yes, but never would Tuya have dreamed to find her outside of the palace. Especially not like this, but that another matter entirely.
His eyes went wide at what he was told, though, completely caught off guard. "Ah, but Pri--er... Leola, do you have any idea how dangerous that place is...?!" he blurted out, wincing at how loud his voice probably seemed. When he spoke again, Tuya made sure to keep his voice much quieter. "N-Not that I don't think that you're incapable, but... Xochipilli is dangerous for even the top officers in the military. Even then, it's hard just to find. It could take months for you to get to it, even if the ship found the exact spot where it's supposed to be...!"
