'Sailing'

 

Circa 1901, somewhere in Cairo, near a port.


A ship was seized and captured. The members of the seized ship were being auctioned and group of vigilant people were being sold as slave.


A manipulative jury were set, as the royal king's men forced the accused to admit their offense. 


"Mr. Hemmington, your group sailed on Mediterranean Sea without a flagship. Pirates are intensely disliked by our royal highness. Your group was also seen setting Royal King's photograph on fire. This offense is charge by treason and punishable by beheading the accused. But through the Royal King's mercy, the punishment were lowered and set the accused as slaves providing that you admit the crime you did." A king's man said to an older looking guy infront of him "Do you declare yourself as guilty or not guilty?"


"Guilty, your highness." Mr. Hemmington said deflatedly


"The bid for Mr. Hemmington is now open."


"10 pieces of silver!" A woman on her victorian dress shouted


"15!" A man in a tap hat and suit bidded higher


"Anymore bids?"


"20!" A man who was smoking a tobacco bidded


"Sold!"

 

Then Mr. Hemmington was given to the man who bought him


"Mr. Lee?" The king's men asked the next accused on the line


"Guilty." Mr. Lee said


"Any bids for Mr. Lee?" the king's men asked


"25 pieces of silver." An old man wearing specs and holding his cane said


"Sold!"


Many men on the line of the accused admitted what they did in order to save their lives and they were sold as slaves to the elites of the society. As the King's man reached the last person in the line of the accused, he saw the only woman on the line. 


The woman was wearing a white simple dress and a red cross on her dress' sleeves that signifies she's a doctor. She had her head held up high as a sign of unbreakeable confidence and dignity.


"I can see you're a professional, but why did you choose to be the doctor for the rebels?" The king's man asked curiously


"None of your business." The woman said


A giggle of another woman was heard on the crowd of elites, which caused the king's man to boil in anger because of embarassment.


"I'm afraid that is my business, missy. As you can see, I can behead you anytime!" The king's man said angrily and with a hint of proudness on his voice but the girl wasn't shaken.


"Why, go ahead!" The woman said with no fear


"The mercy of the king gave you a chance to live..." The king's man

Chapter 52: Ang Ganda! Sobrang meaningful ng story! 🥹
I like the way how you tackle a sensitive topic like this. No judgements. Understanding and acceptance ...🥹
This is my favorite line "Who knew that her dreams could wake her life up".
Lastly, I like the song Almost, it fits their love story (when they haven't found each other yet!).
