Chit Oo Nyo - My Beloved Min Nanda

[ 1]

By the time he left the "cabin" room and climbed onto the deck of the ship, the sun was just about to set over the ocean.

The long rays of the setting sun glided over the sea, casting red rays on his ship, the “Princess.” The entire deck was bathed in the sun’s rays. The masts and sails were half red and half black.

He wiped his mustache and sideburns, which were covered in wine stains, with the back of his hand. His hand, which he lowered, reached the hilt of his sword between his belt.

He glanced at his men. His men were looking at him with eyes the color of wine. Their hanging arms and slightly spread legs were moving as if they were about to move at the first command from his mouth.

He advanced. His men backed away, creating a narrow path. His footsteps echoed through the crowd. The soles of his long, soft leather shoes were studded with iron, making the sound of his shoes hitting the deck.

He walked to the side of the ship and stood leaning on the railing. He could see the shore in the distance, red in the sun. He stroked his beard with his left hand and stretched out his right hand to his side. One of his men put a pair of binoculars in his hand. He held the eyepiece of the binoculars to his eye.

- He weighs the far and near, the smallest particle.

Within the circle of the telescope, he had the clarity he wanted: the beach, the sandbanks, the fishermen's huts, the fishing nets, the pottery, and then the bustling people.

He pulled the binoculars away from his face. One of his men came and took them away. No one saw him, but he smiled happily. When he turned back to the ship from his shore-facing position, the smile was gone. Instead of a smile, his men saw a stern expression.

"Leaf removal"

He gave the order to two or three of his men nearby, but the order was transformed into a shout from his assistant's mouth.

"Leaf removal"

A man climbed up the mainmast. The rope ladder swayed. Soon the mainsail, with the word “Princess” written in bold red letters, fell off. Not far from the mainsail, the foremasts also took on sails.

"Hold on"

Just like before, someone shouted his order again and spread it.

"Hold on"

Like well-trained warriors, his men took their places on the decks of the ship. One of the assistants shouted, “Give me a call,” in a loud, incomprehensible voice. The men shouted in unison, like a pack of wild dogs howling in unison.

The rudders moved up and down like the wings of a kite. The ship slowly moved forward. The ship's destination was the fishing village on the beach.

As the ship gained speed, the black flag fluttered from the top of the bare mast. Every time the flag fluttered, every time he heard the sound, his blood boiled. The sound of the black flag fluttering seemed to him like the voice of a living human being. And that human being was not a man, but a woman.

"There is an enemy ahead, an enemy is in sight, ready your sword, ready your pistol, ready your cannon, they are your enemies, Maurice. Yes. If you don't kill them, they will kill you. To a pirate, everyone is his enemy except himself, and you know that, Maurice.

The fluttering sound of the black flag entered his ears as a woman's voice. The woman who spoke it was a woman who had only appeared once in his life, a woman who would never appear again, a woman who was possessed by a pain. That pain was love.

He was so in love with Helen that he even forced her to change her name from Helena to Helen of Troy. He was so in love with Helen that he left his headquarters in Goa. He chased away a Dutch harbormaster who was his lover and a Portuguese captain of the Goa garrison, who was also his own. Then, with a bloody sword and a blank pistol strapped to his waist, he carried Helen in one hand and set out to sea.

He had arrived at a life he never expected. What he really wanted was to be a successful and wealthy merchant, roaming around the Indian archipelago and Burma, known as the Golden Land.

However, because he fell madly in love with Helen, who was as beautiful as a marble statue, he had to accept the pain and all the consequences that came with it.

I want to be a wealthy traveling merchant.

In reality, he became a pirate captain.

He did not give in to his lover's wishes. He only said that he wanted to possess three times as much treasure as the Queen of Goa. In a month, he attacked fourteen ships and gave Helen all the treasure he could get.

He even gave his ship a name that was completely unbecoming of a pirate ship. The name Princess was also in honor of Helen. The flag at the top of the mast was the same as other pirate flags, with a skull and crossbones. In honor of Helen, the emblem was a red rose with three red flowers. As a pirate flag, the color of the flag was black.

He swung his knife and pistol in the direction Helen pointed. Robbery and assault were, for him, acts of service to his lover.

He wondered if the cruelty born of love was more bitter. He also loved Helen's greed for wealth. Therefore, he became more and more violent and violent in love.

Then, the term "Morelli Blanc" disappeared, and he acquired a new name that represented the attributes of the seafaring people: "Bloody Blanc", "Bloody Blunt

Bloody Blunt, Bloody Blunt.

Helen called him Maurice. He liked both names. He believed his life lay somewhere between them. After a ship had been plundered and looted, he would climb to the top of the mast, carrying a bottle of wine.

I used to be called Morelli Blunt, but Morelli is dead. Now I am Maurice Blunt. On these two names I have built Helen, Wine, Pistols and Swords. That is me... he often sings to himself, singing a song that means...

Then he poured a whole bottle of strong wine into his mouth and descended from the mast. At the base of the mast, Helen met him and embraced him. Then he and Helen danced to a music composed of the sound of a harp, the sound of a sword striking the ship's side, and the sound of a sword striking the deck. He shot a barrel of wine with a pistol and drank the spilled wine with his mouth. His men shouted their blessings.

When they were drunk, he chose two of his favorite people to wrestle. The winner was awarded a prize, and the loser was forced to dance in the dresses Helen had thrown away. The entire Princess ship was filled with laughter and shouting.

However....

It had been three years since those laughters had died down for him.

The Princess's mistress had died of a heart attack on the Princess one night in a stormy sea. At that time, there was a doctor who had been captured as a hostage on the Princess, but the doctor had bitterly refused to give birth to the pirate's wife, so he killed the doctor. Unable to bear the grief any longer, he drank one glass of strong drink after another and lay in the cabin. Since Helen's body had been thrown into the sea with great pomp, he realized that his life had completely sunk into the sea with Helen. With no one to call Maurice, he turned his attention entirely to those who would be called Bloody.

But no matter how much he plundered, he always seemed to hear Helen speaking. Whenever he approached a ship or a shore, whenever the three-petaled flag fluttered from the top of the Princess's mast, he seemed to hear Helen's voice.

"If you don't kill them, they will kill you,"
