Raised the Villainous Daughter and Ran Away - Chapter 190
Side Story II. Minor Incidents
Scarlett Visconti.
Her nickname is King of the Sea.
Scarlett, despite not being of noble birth, had the surname Visconti, which meant gold, a reference to the symbolism of the pirate ship and Scarlett’s wheat-like hair.
A sword master who was born to the lower classes of the Mutia Empire and rose to the position of captain of the Visconti pirates despite his young age.
If she wanted, she could have made a good living as a mercenary or a knight, using her abilities, but she chose to be a pirate.
It was for a simple reason.
Born in a red-light district and of humble origins, it was nearly impossible for him to become a knight, and because of his beautiful mother’s thick blood, he was met with unpleasant stares from the male-filled mercenary group.
This was the same for pirates, but unlike the previously mentioned places, it was a much better option since the strong had the final say in everything.
“Captain! I see a cruise ship ahead with nobles on board!”
The sailor on deck shouted loudly.
Shh …
On the pirate ship, cutting through the waves without a hitch, she placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.
“Everyone, prepare for battle! This is something we’ve been waiting for for a long time! This is going to be a big hit!”
As her voice, which was as innocent as her appearance, rang out, the sailors’ expressions hardened and their morale rose.
“Once this is over, I’ll wash my hands thoroughly…!”
“Me too. I promised the girl I was going to marry.”
“I’m going back home and confessing to my childhood friend.”
The faces of the sailors, full of determination and vivid as raw meat. Scarlett nodded her head as if satisfied with this sight.
“It’s been three years! The days we’ve walked and prepared for this day! Let’s make it big and then get out of this business!”
Wow!
The sailors hurriedly moved, shouting. Kick-kick. The cannons were turned toward the cruise ship.
Sling! Scarlett pulled out the sword hanging from her waist, her golden blonde hair fluttering.
“Ready to launch!”
“Commence threatening fire!”
Phew! Phew!
As the bullet was fired, a loud bang erupted. Smoke rose and the strong smell of gunpowder lingered in my nostrils.
“Slow down! We’re going to hit the ship and take the cruise ship’s nobles hostage!”
The helmsman moved his hands hastily. Some of the sails went down and the ship lost its momentum.
“Fire again!”
Phew! Phew!
Flames poured out of the cannon’s tip. Large bullets surged through the air. Finally, the bullets hit the water’s surface and exploded, bringing the cruise ship to a halt.
“Put your stomach on!”
Kookookookook.
The Visconti pirate ship approached the cruise ship. The crew laid the bridge they had prepared. Everyone prepared for battle, raising their weapons.
Scarlett also walked forward with a solemn expression on her face. Thump! She stepped onto the deck of the cruise ship and looked around with her eyes wide open.
‘There are a lot of escorts.’
Since it is a cruise ship for nobles, there are many knights. However, even if an emergency occurs, you can deal with it with this secret weapon hidden in your waist.
‘The wizard is… … .’
Scarlett’s senses were dull and she couldn’t see the flow of magic, but there was no one who looked like a wizard.
‘Okay.’
Shh.
Scarlett raised the corners of her mouth and raised her sword high.
“Surrender! You will be taken hostage!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Visconti pirate crew members came across the bridge in a group as if they had made a promise.
Even though they are elite knights, their numbers are overwhelming. With Sword Master Scarlett also present, there is no way they will lose.
That’s when Scarlett smiled, confident of victory.
Thud. Thud.
A man with pitch-black hair and golden eyes approached me with a sinister look on his face.
“What are you? Stop!”
Even though he aimed the tip of his sword at him, the man did not stop walking.
“Hee, heek!”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
“evil!”
Suddenly, the sailors dropped their weapons and began to cover my body. Their faces turned pale, like those of children who had seen a demon in a fairy tale.
‘what?’
Scarlett, whose senses were relatively dull due to the focus of her aura on force, failed to detect the killing intent the sailors were feeling.
“How big of a deal. Attacking a ship carrying nobles.”
Finally, the man who arrived in front opened his mouth. He had no weapons, but he smiled arrogantly, revealing his white teeth, as if he was so confident.
“And you? You came forward without any weapons, so I guess you don’t know how fearful the world is.”
Ha! Scarlett finished her sentence with a hollow laugh.
There are many pirates in this world, but Visconti was on a different level from other pirates.
In other words, he has nothing to fear as long as the Emperor’s Knight Commander, Jin Descartes, and Baek Gwi, who are rumored to be the strongest on the continent, do not come.
“Wouldn’t it be better if I just sorted it out quickly?”
The white-haired man behind me nodded and asked.
“I’ll watch over other people. I’m trying to get some exercise after a long time.”
But the man in front of me waved his hand and refused help.
‘Cheeky things.’
How can you be so calm without even knowing who you are dealing with? Scarlett gritted her teeth and raised her sword.
“Bind them! Anyone who resists strongly may be killed!”
The sailors run with ropes and weapons.
It should have been like that originally.
“…?”
The silence that came like poison. Scarlett looked back quietly. The sailors were stiff and their shoulders were shaking.
“What are you guys doing! Aren’t you going to attack quickly!”
When he was shouted at loudly, one of the sailors opened his mouth with difficulty, trembling.
“Sir, Captain! But…!”
Something is going wrong. Visconti’s sailors have never acted like such scared puppies… … .
That was when.
“You there. Give me that.”
“Yes, yes? Is this what you mean…?”
“Yeah, that one.”
A man who had accepted a cleaning mop from an attendant who was cleaning the deck but couldn’t bring himself to go inside, held it like a sword and let out an aura.
“!!!”
A gigantic aura that rippled like a flame. Even Scarlett, who had lived a rough life on battlefields and battlefields, had never seen anything that large.
‘… No, Aura is just a simple size.’
Scarlett felt a moment of fear, but soon shook her head and pulled herself together.
This was an operation that took a full three years. This was the last operation he planned to complete, and he decided to quit piracy.
Now is the time to back out.
“I can’t help it. I’ll go first! Everyone, follow me!”
Whoosh! Scarlett stepped on the ground and split the wind. She was an aura with a very rare light attribute. Her speed was close to a split second.
however…….
Bam!
“?!”
Scarlett’s rushing blade was stopped by a simple mop pole.
Scratch! Scratch! I can’t cut it. It was strengthening the mop with aura!
“What the heck…!”
An earthquake struck Scarlett’s pupils, which were dyed with bewilderment.
“I didn’t know I would be disturbed like this as a newlywed.”
The man frowned. Feeling her life in danger, Scarlett immediately put her hands into her waistband and pulled out her weapon.
“…Musket?”
The man with golden eyes opened his eyes wide.
“You know this, right?”
A weapon using gunpowder. Recently invented and distributed by the Mutia Empire, it was obtained by raiding transport ships.
“If you get hit by this, even if you are a sword master, you won’t be okay.”
When you pull the trigger, a metal ball is fired with a loud explosion. It is so fast that it cannot be avoided.
Swish- Scarlett put her finger on the trigger.
“What a pity. He was my type because he was handsome and talented, but he’s too arrogant.”
Phew! As I pulled the trigger, flames shot up from the muzzle.
however…….
“I never thought that in this world focused on auras and magic, a musket would be invented.”
The man with the golden eyes shrugged his shoulders and smiled as if it was nothing.
“Dude, I was definitely right…?!”
It was fired right in front of you. Common sense tells you that you can’t avoid this.
In the midst of all this confusion, something caught Scarlett’s eye.
The musket’s metal balls were lying on the floor, half gone, as if they had been lost as they moved forward, part of them having been destroyed.
“I won’t kill you since you showed me something good.”
And that was the last voice Scarlett heard.
* * *
Bam.
When I lightly struck the back of her neck with the blade of my hand, she lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Thud. Then the blonde-haired pirate fell to the deck, hitting his head on it. I looked ahead, blankly.
The pirates were shaking with their whole bodies from the overwhelming aura and couldn’t move. It was a feeling of oppression that would be difficult for a normal person to endure.
“What should I do?”
The knight next to him asked.
“What should we do? We have to capture the captain and kill the rest of them.”
They are pirates who commit crimes such as plunder and murder. Just as there is no set law for them, death also comes without warning.
Because that’s the fate of an outlaw.
“Now, you guys go back to the ship.”
He nodded and the sailors looked at the fallen captain in fear.
The blonde captain was breathing but making no sound. I opened my eyes shallowly and turned up my aura even more.
“I told you to go back to your ship?”
Jeebuk. As I took a small step forward, the sailors stepped back in surprise.
“Huh, huh!”
“Captain…!”
“This can’t be happening… … .”
“How, what should I do…!”
Sailors bow their heads in bewilderment, their faces bereft of the world. They probably have their own circumstances and stories, but I wasn’t particularly curious.
They are criminals, outlaws, and looters. Nothing more, nothing less.
“If you don’t cross the bridge on the count of three, I’ll tear you all to pieces right here.”
The murderous intent was so intense that it made the skin tingle. Only then did the sailors groan and move forward.
“Hey, hurry up!”
“Captain…!”
“You’ll figure it out!”
“You guys are truly the captain…!”
“Ah, shit! Get across quickly!”
The fear displayed by the overwhelming power tore apart even the most comrades who had been through thick and thin together.
This was especially true for low-level criminals like them.
“Thank you, Duchess Descartes. For your help… … .”
The captain of the knights in charge of the safety of the cruise ship approached us and bowed repeatedly.
“Okay. It wasn’t that difficult.”
In fact, the reason I stepped forward was because the captain who was lying on the floor right now had extraordinary skills.
If we hadn’t been there, this cruise ship would have been taken over.
“They all got over it and turned the boat around! What are you going to do now?”
Well, we should punish those rascals who attacked the cruise ship that Frances was on without even knowing the subject.
“Get out.”
At the very front of the cruise ship, I grabbed the middle of the mop pole. As I let out my aura, blue flames rippled and shone like a supernova.
“Ugh!”
Wedge!
A mop filled with aura surged across the air, and the waves split left and right like the miracle of Moses.
The mop then crashed into the fleeing pirate ship, spreading an aura of destruction that destroyed everything it touched.
─Eww!
─Hey, save me!
─Kuaaak!
Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of loud noises can be heard, as if the ship was loaded with shells. The pirates scream. The burning pirate ship eventually collapsed and sank into the sea.
“Let’s go.”
“yes yes…….”
I lightly shook my hand and headed towards the group, carrying the fallen captain between my waists.
“It ended so quickly?”
“Because they were nothing special to begin with.”
As I shrugged my shoulders, Frances’ gaze suddenly shifted to my waist.
“But what about that woman?”
“I heard you’re the captain.”
“Why did you bring me here?”
“I’m going to hold you since you’re the captain.”
“Huh…?”
Frances opened her eyes shallowly. Just looking at her expression, it seemed like she was feeling uneasy, as if something was bothering her.
“Don’t keep holding onto that woman. Hand her over to the knights quickly. I can’t be attached to you, can I?”
… … It was just a petty jealousy.
