Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 831: Chapter 828: The Ultimate and The Original

The Brilliant Starship gently adjusted its angle near the coast, and the luminous wheels on either side of the hull began to emit a low moan as it started to accelerate, slowly sailing into the boundless mist, faster and faster, further and further, until it completely vanished from Duncan’s gaze.

Duncan stood for a long time on the prow of the Homeloss, gazing into the thick fog where the silhouette had disappeared. Even when it was no longer visible, he continued to look in that direction for quite some time before finally withdrawing his gaze, to see a Gothic doll in a magnificent, deep purple dress standing by his side.

The doll was also looking into the distance, and almost simultaneously withdrew her gaze as well.

Meanwhile, the plump white pigeon perched on Alice’s shoulder, cocked its head and stared intently at its owner with its mung bean eyes.

Homeloss was now quiet. Without Sherry and Nina’s playful bickering, without Morris’s habit of gazing out at the sea or brooding in thought, without Fenna always sitting on a barrel carving amulets, and without Agatha’s mysterious disappearing and reappearing acts—on such a spacious and empty deck, only the captain and the doll stood together.

And, of course, that abstract and gluttonous fat pigeon.

“They’ve all left, huh…” After a while, Alice murmured softly.

Duncan wasn’t immediately sure if Miss Doll’s remark was a sigh of emotion or a statement of fact she had just realized.

When everyone else had left, she had stayed without giving it any thought, with a natural and logical demeanor. Duncan never gave her any specific orders, and she didn’t ask any questions, as if from the very start she knew she would stay; she even treated staying on Homeloss as something obvious and inevitable—this made Duncan curious.

“When others left, you didn’t ask me if you could stay,” he looked into the eyes of Miss Doll, “Did you not even give it a thought?”
