"What's wrong?" Varian was startled by Millie's exclamations.

"Your Royal Highness, this kid ...... She's a girl......"

Varian also discovered the reason for Millie's exclamation at this time, and awkwardly withdrew his gaze.

He didn't expect that this little guy with short hair turned out to be a girl, and they were all misled by the little girl's boy-style linen sailor suit. Because although some merchant ships occasionally recruit a few boys to do odd jobs in order to save money, no merchant ship owner would let a little girl on his ship.

"This ...... I'll go to the deck to breathe first, and she'll be taken care of by you. ”

Although the little girl didn't look very old, Varian was too embarrassed to stay here, so he reluctantly found an excuse to leave the room.

……

After more than half an hour, Millie had cleaned the little girl and fed her some oatmeal and hot water.

It didn't take long for the little girl to wake up after eating and drinking, it seems that the child's vitality is really tenacious, no wonder he can be the only survivor of this shipwreck.

By the time Varian returned to the cabin, Millie was gone. The little girl was lying quietly in the futon, blinking and looking at Varian curiously. Her little face is a little thin, so her eyes are particularly large.

"I remember your big brother, it was you who rescued me from the icy waters......"

Before Varian could say anything, the little girl spoke first. Her voice was somewhat hoarse, and she had clearly not fully recovered from her dehydrated state.

Varian walked over to his bed and sat down, saying, "You were still conscious, I thought you were unconscious." ”

"I just heard Sister Millie say, big brother, you are His Royal Highness the prince of that kingdom in the south, and you came to save me personally...... Thank you ......."

"It's nothing, who let me find you first. But you're also very good at holding out until we get here. ”

"Actually, I almost couldn't hold it anymore, thanks to the fact that you found out that I was still alive, I thought I was going to die this time......" The little girl stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously.

Her skin was still a little pale from being soaked in the sea for too long, but her smile was bright.

Varian could tell that the girl was not smiling, but revealing the joy of the rest of her life, as dazzling as the rising sun.

Varian didn't expect the little girl to be able to laugh after such a terrible encounter as a shipwreck, it seems that she is really an optimistic and cheerful child with a strong will.

Varian smiled unconsciously and said, "I've heard the old proverb that 'he who encounters great calamity and does not die, something lucky will happen in the future', and it seems that your good fortune will come soon." ”

"Really, really? That's great! The little girl's eyes began to light up, and she sat up expectantly.

"That's right, lucky little girl. But what you need most now is to get some rest, so lie down quickly and get your body back first. ”

Although the little girl's spirit seems to be good now, being soaked in sea water these days has made her body a little overdrawn.

"That's right......" After listening to Varian's words, the little girl could only lie back in the bed and close her eyes.

After a while, the little girl quietly opened her eyes and peeked at Varian, and thought to herself, "However, I think the luckiest thing has happened, and that is to meet you, big brother...... His Royal Highness the Prince...... It feels like the plot of the hero saving the beauty in those knight novels......" A blush rose on the cheeks of the little girl who was caught in crankiness.

……

……

In the days that followed, the little girl told Varian about who she was and what she had done.

Her name was Anne Bonn, a native of Lordaeron and, to Varian's surprise, a wealthy daughter.

Anne's father was an old-fashioned aristocrat, and his education was very strict with Anne from an early age, and he wanted to raise his daughter to be a well-informed lady.

But since she was a child, Anne didn't like things like literature and art, and she didn't like to stay at home all day, but she was very interested in swordsmanship, fighting, and other activities, and longed to be able to go out on adventure trips.

This annoyed old Bonn, how could there be a lady who thought about running around outside all day? And what's the use of a lady learning fencing? Do you want to pull up your skirt and go down to duel with someone in person? Do you still want the decency of the nobility?

So old Bonn had the servants shut up her daughter in her room and treated her harshly, so much so that at last Anne could no longer stand her father's strict upbringing and decided to run away from home.

Rebellious by nature, Anne cut off her long black and shiny hair, sneaked out of the window with a bed sheet, and began her wandering career disguised as a man.

In order to survive, Anne worked in a variety of occupations, working as a newsboy and postman in the post office, and as a waitress in bars and hotels.

Later, by chance, Anne, who was full of adventurous spirit at heart, came across this merchant ship that was about to go to sea, so she mixed up with the ship and became a child sailor.

Who would have thought that this merchant ship would encounter a rare storm in the relatively safe offshore windless area, but fortunately, when she fell into the water, Anne had a fresh water bucket floating next to her, and the only remaining fresh water in the bucket allowed her to hold out until she encountered the fleeing fleet of the Storm Kingdom, so that she could be rescued.

……

However, Varian and the others also came to Lordaeron to flee, and they couldn't always take Anne with them in the future, so Varian found an opportunity to tell her: "Anne, when we arrive in Nanhai Town, you should go home, your father must miss you too." ”

"My father doesn't think about me, he just thinks I'm a shame to my family."

Anne said a little gloomily: "Father, he just wants to train me to be a lady who makes him have face, even if it will kill my dreams because of this, so I won't go back, I don't want to be locked up at home as a so-called lady." ”

Varian was a little curious: "So what is your dream?" ”

"My dream...... It's about having a big ship of my own, so that I can sail it freely in the endless sea. Anne said wistfully, her big eyes shining with excitement.

"Do you think so, even after such storms and shipwrecks?"

"Of course, can this little storm make me give up? My journey in the future is this endless sea. Anne said firmly with her little fist.

"It's imposing......" Varian smiled and rubbed Anne's hair. Little did he know that in the original timeline, this Anne Bonn had actually become a captain and was known in the Howling Fjord......
