((Ymber))

Ymber eyed the man who was standing in front of him, while Chanson ran towards him. Jean-Baptiste Montague, hm? He was surely interesting, as far as he knew. Jean removed his hand from the hilt of his blade, and this made Ymber feel at ease. Things would not get bad, and he was happy for that. He stood in his position for a short while, after Chanson's father had expressed his thanks for returning his daughter. He had sounded really serious, as if he was not truly grateful. Right after that, the man announced he would be leaving with the girl.

The young nobleman's blood started to rush. He had reunited the girl with her father, and not a single word of appreciation was given? That was beyond what he could take, that was for sure. Ymber grabbed his sword, and sheathed it again, quickly, as his skills allowed him to do. He then stepped forward, and shouted with all his voice.

"I did not return your daughter to you, Montague! I helped the girl to find the person she wanted to find! I did not do this for you, but for her, do not forget that!!"

Jean-Baptiste didn't speak a word and, in fact, he didn't even turn around. Ymber was starting to feel really angry, and he rushed forward, a few more steps, not really knowing what to do. That was until a thought rushed through his mind. He smiled to himself, confidently, and he shouted again, perhaps even louder than he had done before.

"Chanson!!" The girl looked back for a moment. "Our paths will definitely cross again, do not doubt that!!" With that, he turned around, and left, without looking back. He had secretly hoped that Jean-Baptiste had looked back and saw him leaving, confidently, but that didn't happen. However, soon, Ymber remembered he had to go towards the ship, just in case they were leaving soon. After all, that was his goal, anyway, right?

Looking quite relaxed, the young man walked back towards where he had met Jean-Baptiste Montague and beyond, since he knew the ship was in that direction. Could it be, that Montague was actually in the ship, too? Ymber dismissed this thought as something way too stupid, be he admitted it would be interesting. In the end, after a relatively short walk, he found the ship, as huge as he had imagined, and he only had to tell his name to one of the guards, in order to get in.

Right before that, he had seen a young woman covered in blood and dust get into the ship, and he obviously had to ask the guard who that woman was. He had to know the name, as he could not believe people would dare going around, looking like that. "That is Lady Oceane. She fought in the battle that took place not long ago." was the answer Ymber got.

So, a woman who fought in that battle, hm? Probably she had a good swordplay that could be tried against his own. That would be a good idea, as there would be plenty of time, to do that, while in the ship. Therefore, he wasn't particularly concerned about the woman, and went to find his own quarter in the VIP Quarterdeck, as he deserved for being the nobleman he was.
