Red hair? They were both surprised by her hair color. Julius asked, "Wow, I didn't know that slaves these days could have the freedom to choose their hair color."
A metallic voice replied from above, "I think I need to correct some information, brother Julius. It's her natural hair. I examined it, and there's no trace of any hair dye."
Nour commented, her eyes sparkling, "Wow, so her hair really is red, and it's beautiful and soft."
As Nour held the hair of the mysterious girl, who looked to be about sixteen, with a slender figure and pale skin that suggested malnutrition, covered in scratches and wounds, Ali began to approach her.
When Nour said to him, "Why are you staring at her like that? Are you so mesmerized by her hair that you're speechless?" Ali ignored her sarcastic remarks and reached for a strand of hair that hung from her beautiful neck, a blend of captivating and feminine beauty, extending to between her breasts. Ali moved closer and closer. And more
Even Noor hit him on the head with her hand. "You pervert! I knew you had malicious intentions. What are you doing to a sleeping girl, you pervert!"
And that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Ali unleashed a torrent of insults and curses at her, and Julius grabbed him, trying to calm him down. "Alright, alright, I know you can't wait to play lovers' games with my sister, but not now." Noor hid behind her brother. "Yes, brother, protect me from that pervert!" "Damn you both! I still don't know why I decided to save you. Ugh, damn it!" Ali's exasperated voice filled the spase.
Then 016 interrupted this farce. "Hey, Lord Ali, I think the girl is about to wake up."
Ali let out a deep sigh and went back to what he was doing. He pulled his jacket off her, revealing most of her upper chest. She had a stunningly graceful figure that screamed femininity to an indescribable degree. Everything about her was perfectly balanced, from her slender figure to her perfectly proportioned, yet not overly dramatic, bust, and those delicate legs with their rosy kneesβshe was, in short, every man's dream.
But Ali's attention was completely diverted. The thread dangling from her neck was quickly removed, and what emerged from the end was unbelievable. It was a jade pendant, one of the most precious and purest stones in the entire world of Anggram, bearing the inscription of the renowned Suzuki family of the Sixth Empire!
This was a shock to Ali, because he knew the meaning of this, yet he seemed confused. The brothers were completely ignorant of its meaning. Noor asked, "Hey, you pervert, what does that necklace mean?"
Noor's comment angered Ali, who replied, "Oh, it seems the foolish idiot doesn't know its meaning. Never mind, ignorance is no excuse. Be grateful that I, the educated Ali, will explain. That necklace belongs to the royal family of the Sixth Empire, and according to their traditions, it is presented to the first princess of the family. In other words, the girl before us now can only be the first princess of the Fire Empire, the princess of the Suzuki clan, Suzuki Luna!!!"
The news hit the brothers like a thunderbolt, so much so that it shook the boat, causing Ali to fall onto her chest. He had been kneeling, his heels raised, only his toes touching the ground, as if he were about to stand at any moment, and so he lost his balance.
The moment he opened his eyes, everyone was staring, their eyes wide with anticipation.
Zero 016 said, "Wow, Bullseye."
Luna opened her eyes, and Ali was lying on top of her, specifically on her chest. To make matters worse, 016's comment made the situation even more unsettling.
Ali turned to the girl in question and received a resounding slap.
...After a few moments of calm, steam rising from Ali's cheek and a red mark appearing on his face, Luna cautiously backed away, her face etched with fear. Then she began to mutter in a language Julius couldn't understand.
Nour was surprised by this, while Ali listened to the end. He stood before her, looking annoyed that she had hit him, and replied, "π πΜππβπ§ππππβπ§π§π ππ ππΜ π‘πβ‘π§π πΜπππ β‘π§π πΜπ ββ‘π§π π§ππ ππΜ π‘ππΜ?

Then he answered him with surprise and confusion "πππ β‘π§π πΜπ ββ‘π§π π§β‘π§π πΜπππ β‘π§π πΜπ ββ‘π§π π§ππ ππΜ π‘ππΜοΏ½

-----------------------------------------------
Luna: "No, please, I can't take it anymore. I'm scared, I'm scared. More harassers, more suffering. No, no, no, why is all this happening to me?"
Ali, annoyed and with anger evident on his face: "Girl, or I think, Your Highness." Princess, or... you were Your Highness, don't worry, I'll forget that you slapped me even though I didn't do anything. I assure you we're not bad people, so there's nothing to be afraid of. But I won't tolerate this behavior again, because I'm not the type to accept insults from anyone.
Luna: "Hey, you understand what I'm saying, right? But you're not from the royal family, are you?"
----------------------------------------------------
Julius: "Sister, what are they doing? Why are they stammering and saying strange things?"
Noor, confused: "This, brother... is one of the greatest sins in the world of Anggram. They're speaking a second language."
Julius, surprised: "Language? What does that mean?"
Noor: "Language is a system of spoken and written symbols used by humans since the past to communicate and express their thoughts and feelings. It's generally defined as 'sounds used by civilizations and peoples in the ancient world to express their needs.' When I say ancient world, I mean before the Great War. Before I escaped, I managed to read the minds of many scientists in the lab and acquired a great deal of information. The world of Anggram had undergone many changes, and humans were speaking many languages."
In short, brother, if I agree with you that the boat we're floating on is called a refrigerator, and you agree with me on this term or this sound to describe the boat, then we will have created a linguistic concept unknown to others. This is a simple example.
But All empires had unified their languages ββinto a single language, and anyone who spoke anything else was considered a lawbreaker, punishable by death by hanging.
Julius: "Wow, it seems like a good way to communicate between two people without a third party understanding anything. But you said the New World abandoned it, didn't it? Since the Seropene War, so how...?"
Ali: "If you're asking how it still exists, how I know it, and why I risked learning it, the answer is in the lab."
Noor commented, a sly smile spreading across her face, covering her laughter with her hand. "So you got slapped by her, and you told her you wouldn't get angry with her? Oh, you seem to be giving the princess special treatment. Anyway, you deserve what happened to you, you pervert."
Ali and Julius were shocked. Even Luna was stunned. Under the cover of silence, Julius asked, "Sister, when did you manage to learn this language?" also , ????"
Noor: "What? You think your sister is amazing nowΨ hhhh" 016 spoke from afar, saying, "I'm guessing you were able to understand what was said by reading the girl's nerves with your ability, weren't you?"
Noor grumbled, turning to 016. "hmf , No one asked you to explain. I just wanted to look smart."
Then finally, a voice everyone understood spoke. "You guys are really strange. I thought you were people from the Black Guild, or one of their agents, so I was wary of you. But it turns out that..." Luna looked left, then right, seeing a lot of wreckage. "...a lot of things happened."
Julius, surprised, said, "Wow, you know common language, or... slang, I think."
Luna didn't pay much attention to Julius's comment and turned to Ali. "But what's this about you not being angry that I slapped you? Of course you're not angry. Your head was on my chest. It's your fault, and I'm the one who gets to decide whether I'm angry at you or not and do you know who I am? I'm the princess..." Ali interrupted her mockingly. "you was, you was the princess." Luna was furious and fell silent for a moment, but as soon as an idea popped into her head, she clutched it.
[Dark memories flashed through her mind: people breaking into her room, her lying on the floor next to a broken glass of water. She was half-conscious and noticed him calling for help from a woman with frightening features, whom she could see from behind the door. But the woman simply laughed maliciously at her.]
Luna screamed in pain, collapsing onto the boat, clutching her head and curling into herself, sobbing uncontrollably.
The three of them turned to Ali.
Nour: "Scum."
Julius: "How could you make a girl cry?"
016: "I don't know which one of us you should keep a tight rein on, sir."
Ali exploded with rage, his head as red as a tomato. I hate this social behavior. What do you think women are? Are they heavenly beings to be worshipped? She cried on her own, what's it to me? Damn you all! Does that mean if I cry you'll care about me?"
They answered together, "Of course not."
Ali shouted, "Yasa!" as if no one understood. "Aaaah!"
Ali continued, "And you, stop whining and tell me what's bothering you... Just a moment!" "
Nour's eyes glowed blue as she raised her hand to Ali's face to silence him. Anger was etched on her face, and tears welled in her eyes.
Ali hesitated for a moment and said, "What? I'm sorry if I overreacted a little, but why are you being so hostile towards me, Nour?" "I'm not angry with you..." she replied. He turned back to Luna, using her power again. After a few minutes, once things had calmed down a bit, everyone was back in their places: Ali writing and calculating, Julius rowing, and Nour gazing sadly out at the sea.
The sound of sobbing still lingered nearby, gradually fading away. Once Luna had finished crying and composed herself, she finally spoke. "Um, I... *sob*... I'm sorry... *sob*..." Her breath was still ragged, but she was determined to continue, her eyes shining with resolve.
After drawing in a large amount of air to regulate her breathing, she continued, "First, I apologize for my actions. As the former princess of the Fire Empire, Suzuki Luna, I thank you profusely for rescuing me. If I can return to the palace and speak with my grandfather, he will gladly reward you. However, things seem to have been rather disastrous here, haven't they? So, if you could please explain to me what happened here? And where are we?"
A calm voice spoke from the side of the boat, "Very well, we will tell you what happened here, but ....
