"Old Jack, would you give her highness a good place to sleep in? She is the only heir to the throne left," I said to the old man. He stared at me.
"Say, ya people were sailin' from England?" He asked. Nicholas nodded. "Heard there was a plague. We came from the east side of the world. We wanted to to sail there for food but when we heard about the sickness we stopped here instead," he told Nicholas who nodded.
"Don't worry. I can assure you that we are free from the disease," Nicholas assured. He knew the old man was worried.

Scarlet put her hand up, "It's fine i don't want to sleep..." she then headed away from the two. She walked along the rail and kept her eyes on the ocean water. Her mind was lost and she was spacy.

"It is not for you to sleep in yet, your highness. We just need a place befitting of your status." Nicholas followed behind, though not so near. He didn't want to bother her highness much. He followed quietly.
"Isn't it funny," he said suddenly. "Since I went to the castle we have been facing to many close calls. I am starting to think that I am a magnet of ill omens," Nicholas chuckled at the joke.

"Or maybe it's the other way around..." Scarlet said seriously and continued to walk along the boat's side.

Nicholas was confused and he voiced his thought.
"What do you mean, your highness?" he asked lightly. He wanted the atmosphere to stay light rather than broody and silent.

"Hmm....why should I? I already heard it," Nicholas egged on. He was getting curious now.

"How about you change the subject instead," Scarlet insisted and stopped to look at Nicholas.

"Yes, I decided to keep it off now. That was why old man Jack wanted me to marry his daughter. Apparently, he thought the same thing as you did about my looks," he laughed.
