He felt sick again. When he tried to move his hand it did not move, no matter how much he wanted to drop the blanket over him. Pain pierced his hand as he tried to move his right hand, a choking sound came out of his mouth. A hand suddenly touched his forehead and he heard a voice but could not translate what was said. Of course, the person spoke Korean but his ability to understand seemed to be gone. Taemin could not open his eyes but knew he was in the belly of the ship.

"Did he wake up?" He managed to translate the voice that belonged to the boy from Paekche, which surprised him a bit. "It looks like that," a second voice said, recognizing him as Jonghyun's voice. Taemin's eyes were heavy, he tried to open them again and they opened into small grooves that made the five figures above him look blurry. Someone lowered the blanket over him and helped him sit down, it was Chanyeol, the giant leaned him against the wall and let him drink water. Taemin's vision returned completely after a few blinks and the five figures were clearly visible to him. Bling-Bling stood there, in addition to Chanyeol and Baekhyun who had not left each other since the time Baekhyun fell ill, there was also Jeongin next to Yien.

Taemin looked at his hand that was bandaged in a clean cloth, he was only wearing pants, his shirt was not on him, which made him feel exposed. "What happened?" He managed to say in a hoarse voice, "Where are we?" "You got an arrow to the arm, you're the only one who was badly injured, everyone else is fine. Except for Jonhyong's leg that got a deep arrow," Jonghyun said, "You slept three days, we're on a beach in Taiwan, we'll get on the way to Korea soon." "Three days?" Tae asked. "Yes, more than Jonhyong who only slept a day and a half," Baekhyun said. His voice was no longer hoarse and he stood straight with a smile on his face. "I'm glad you feel good," Taemin said looking at his friend. "I've been doing work on board for three years now, replacing you with shifts," Baek said and Tae grinned.

"We got a message from King Park," Key went down to the belly of the ship, "the prince is fine, everyone's waiting for Yien to come back to replace him." Everyone nodded. Tae did not understand so Jonghyun explained, "Yien is not just in a high position in Paekche, he is the prince's replacement, he is his substitute so that nothing will happen to the real prince until the coronation. Yien was kidnapped and not The real prince, when the crew heard that we had rescued the prince's substitute they were fine with that which was surprising, we thought they would be angry that we rescued a substitute," he concluded.

“Paekche's royal family has three children, Regent Jinyoung Jr., his sister Park Jihyo, who is in the process of getting engaged to Kang Euigeon from the Kingdom of South Koguryo, Kwangju City. she is fourteen but there is love and everything between them, and there is their little brother Hwang Hyunjin, eleven years old," Mark explained.

"Captains, the chicken is ready," Dojun went down to the belly of the ship, everyone turned to see Yoo Dojun standing on the stairs. "The fires are off, the chicken is roasted." "chicken?" Tae asked, "We found chicken farms and we have fresh chicken to eat instead of canned meat," Jeongin enthused. Everyone ran to the deck while Key helped Taemin stand so he too could be with them at the meal. From the deck one could see the coals leftover from the recently extinguished bonfires, the chicken was brought to the deck, and divided for each pirate an equal piece, there was so much chicken that most of them took a second serving because they could.

"Ship on the horizon," was heard from the mast, where one of the pirates was sitting and eating his food while on guard. Everyone turned to look at the sea where there was a ship with a dark blue flag on the horizon approaching them. There were whispers among them "The Six-Days ship is here." "The Six-Days?" Taemin asked, Chanyeol who was next to him nodded and replied, "Park Sungjin, a descendant of the royal family who rules Paekche, is the captain of the ship alongside another deported royalty, Park Jaeyoung. I wonder what they are doing here."

The Six-Days stopped next to the Shining Devil ship, lowering their anchor. Key and Bling-Bling come down to meet Sungjin onshore. "Park," Key said as the three captains stood in front of each other. "Don’t call me that," Sungjin's voice was stiff. "My mistake," Key said. "What are you doing here?" "Stop, we're back from Wang, we've snatched a kid, return him to your uncle," Key replied. "Please do not mention my family like that," the two captains knew their friend did not like the royal family, his family. "Where are you headed? If I may ask," Jonghyun said. "The Philippines," The Six-Days captain replied. "Looking for something specific?" "Not necessarily, is there a chance you're saying hello to His Majesty in my name?" This surprised the captains of the Shining Devil despite the disparaging tone. "Why do you suddenly call him that?"

"To annoy him." "So that's right?" Jonghyun asked. "what's right?" Sungjin did not understand. "That your cousin was expelled from the family," Key said. "Yes, he joined me. We stopped on the way to my mother's." "Hard matter." "Not so, he was fine in the end, love is love. Family does not accept but no one else needs to know," Sungjin explained.

"And let it stay that way," Key added. "That's what they want," Sungjin nodded in agreement. "How are they?" Bling-Bling asked. "Happy, very happy, Jae cried when he saw them, after years my mother was gone, and only bad things or tragic stories were heard," Sungjin said. The captains in front of him nodded. "We better go back," Key said, looking back at their ship, "See you." When they boarded the ship one of the pirates asked, "Where are they going?" "To the Philippines," Jonghyun replied, "we have “hello” to pass to the king," he smiled and went to stand at the helm of the ship while Key shouted tasks, "Lift the anchor, we're taking off."

Taemin sat on the deck watching all the pirates do their jobs, he could not work because his hand would take time to heal. As he liked to do, he sat at the end of the deck in the direction they were sailing. At one point, Key approached him, in his hand was something wrapped in a very old cloth that was starting to fall apart. "What is?" Taemin asked. Key sat down next to him and handed him the wrapped object. "It's yours," he said. Taemin took the wrapped object and remove the cloth from it, which revealed a sword. 

Its sheath was azure with pearls and small pebbles adorning it, the grip also had also pearls but arranged so that fighting would be comfortable, while Taemin took the sword out of the sheath to see the blade, Key explained, "Your father left it in a certain’s cabin, the sword was hidden and in his will, it was also written where to find it and who to bring it to. He received this sword from the King of Kansal in the city of Osaka in Japan because he saved the kingdom from a crisis of famine and economy," he recounted, "and one day, when you’ll go there, and show the sword you will be welcomed there."

 "Why didn’t he tell me about the sword?" Taemin asked. "I have no answers for everything, you know," Key said. "Right, sorry, thanks for the sword, Hyung." "No problem, kid, you better rest," the captain advised him. Taemin nodded.

During the voyage to Paekche, Taemin found himself preparing an ornament for his sword from threads and beads. Because his hand was not completely healed he had to do something to clear his head and not get bored. The beads were silver and came from one of the jewelry bags Key hated, the threads also came from there. He attached the new ornament to a thin ring and attached it to his sheath in a certain place that could have been attached to an ornament. Most of the time the decoration would be related to the Swordsman's kingdom, but Taemin did not belong anywhere except the Shining Devil where he felt it was his home. A house moving in the sea looking for adventure.

The closer they got to Paekche, the more Taemin's wound healed.
