"I understand." agreed the prince, "Now you mentioned about my guards...I wonder what they're up to?"

"WE'RE GOING AFTER MY SON!" King Kolo ordered to his men who were preparing to leave the castle after the two guards Wilber and Nelson reported all the commotion about the prince.
"Go back to that village?!" Nelson questioned nervously, "But what about those stupid sailors who were trying to capture him?!"
"They will remain doing their business!" the King replied, "I should've known my son would get into trouble again! But yet, we can only hope that he can get to Veridia to find the Shards-...if he ever makes it there. So be ready! We're leaving right now!"
"That was your idea that we lost the prince!" Wilber muttered sharply to Nelson.
"So was yours, Buster!" Nelson snapped back as he and Wilber got back on their horses.
Queen Ruby ran to the King and was worried about him and her son.
"Are you sure that you're going after our son into the sea who's with a band of pirates?!" she asked nervously.
"I have to!" the King said, "Because I can't lose our son! He may be in trouble!"
"But your highness! Harvey and Wondu are with him!" Nelson called out.
"It won't make a difference since they're outnumbered!" King Kolo replied, "If something ever happen to him...I'll never forgive myself since I sent him away! He's our only son, and our future king! So we must go save him! ARE YOU WITH ME?!"
"YES YOUR HIGHNESS!" replied the men.
"While I'm gone, you are in charge of my kingdom." the King told the Queen.
"I wish you good luck. Please be safe." the Queen said sadly and hugged her husband and began to cry, "I don't want to lose you either."
"I know, Ruby. I know." the King said sadly as well.
The King got on to his horse and led twenty of his men along with Wilber and Nelson out the castle and galloped to the open country side. Queen Ruby stood above the gate as she watched her husband ran into the distance.

Back to the ship, Wondu and Harvey walked up to the main area of the ship to see the crew doing their work.
"I hope the prince knows what he's doing." Wondu whispered to Harvey, "Because I don't trust those men."
"Neither do I." replied Harvey, "Especially with those two dummies who stole a ton weapons from town."
The two dummies Harvey mentioned were Broose and Deve.
"How long do we have to sail to reach...any land the Prince wants?" complained Broose.
"Depends how long you be Quartermaster." Deve replied rudely.
"I see. But still-...What's a Quartermaster?!"
"All I know is," Tucker walked by, "You're not my master!"
"Wait...I'M A MASTER?!" gasped Broose.
"I was being sarcastic." Tucker mumbled.
"Well...it's worse than a-half master! HA-HA!" Deve laughed.
"Yes." Wondu agreed to Harvey, "I see your point."
