When also? Fate?

Brigadier General Norrington sighed deeply in his heart.

Originally, he didn't understand these words too much, nor did he understand the connection between time and fate, but now, he suddenly felt it deeply.

A person's current situation and fate are always so uncertain!

Yesterday, he himself was a newly-promoted Commodore of the Royal Navy, young and ready to marry the daughter of the old aristocratic Governor Swan, ready to go to the pinnacle of his life, become a hot man, and very likely to rise to a higher position in the British Empire in the future.

But now? In such a short afternoon, he turned into a prisoner in an instant? Lost everything? The change of fate in this situation is inevitably too big a little bit of ups and downs, right?

Alas......

Norrington looked speechlessly at the girls big and small who walked into the Governor's Palace, oh...... Wrong! They're no ordinary girls anymore, they're a bunch of horrible witches!

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would never have even imagined that a dignified brigadier general and more than a thousand regular royal soldiers before and after the British Empire would have been defeated by such a few opponents?

I'm afraid no one will believe this if it gets out, right?

A regular army of more than a thousand people, with advanced weapons, well-trained, and well-disciplined royal soldiers, really surrendered to just six witches? If he hadn't experienced this from beginning to end, he would never have imagined such a thing!

Presumably, in the future, once what happened here in Port Royal is reported back to the mainland and back to Europe, he and Governor Swan will definitely become the laughing stock of everyone, right?

Those people will only blame all the blame and blame on the incompetence of him and the governor, instead of trying to verify whether the witch is really as powerful as the legend says! Moreover, Norrington also knew that his future would probably be ruined from now on......

However, fate is like this, and although it does seem cruel, sometimes, you can only choose to accept it!

"Aha~! I guess you must not have thought of today, right? Your Excellency Commodore of the Royal Navy? ”

As Captain Sparrow followed the witches as he walked around the Doge's Palace, he saw another acquaintance, and he went straight to him, grinning his big mouth with gold teeth, and looking at them with a wicked smile.

"Let me think about it, what did you say two days ago when the great Captain Sparrow accidentally became a prisoner of your navy and was imprisoned in your dungeon? Pick a good day to hang me? Like this? ”

Jakesparrow grabbed his neck with his own hands and spat out his long tongue, giving Brigadier General Norrington the appearance of being hanged.

"But now? Gee! Look at it, you must not have thought of it, right? Two days later, our identities were swapped up? Don't you want to say something about that? ”

Jack? Sparrow pinched his signature orchid fingers, twisted his ass and walked around Norrington, and lightly took off the delicate short-barreled musket from the brigadier's waist and stuffed it into his holster, and then, as it wasn't all, after deciding that the other party would not dare to resist, he even reached out and took off the brigadier general's hat and put it on his own head.

"Or, could you share your thoughts?"

“……”

Norrington closed his eyes and took two deep breaths at the same time, his chest heaving violently several times before he could barely resist the urge to draw the long sword at his waist and stab the shameless pirate to death.

He really should have directly executed this damn Sparrow pirate leader at the beginning, if he had hanged the other party directly at that time, now, he wouldn't have suffered this humiliation, right? What a regret for not being at the beginning!

After a while, when he had calmed down a little, he opened his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and then, resolutely, unsheathed the saber from his waist, strode up to the witch chieftain Charlotte, put his feet together in a bow, and then handed his favorite saber to the other with both hands.

"I, Commodore of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, James? Norrington, now on behalf of all the armed soldiers and officers of Port Royal, officially surrenders to you witches! ”

After handing his saber over, Norrington continued:

"We hope you will be treated with dignity in line with who we are! Alternatively, you can claim compensation from our British Empire, and I am sure that our families or parliament will be happy to pay a ransom to ransom us! ”

He actually had to surrender to a teenage girl, even if the other party was a powerful witch, but Norrington always felt that this might be the biggest shame and stain in his life, right?

This matter may affect his career in his life, even if he will not be dismissed from office by the empire in the future, he will have no hope of taking another step forward for the rest of his life, right? His career was just getting started, but he had to declare the curtain over......

Charlotte took the other party's saber with a cold face and did not speak immediately, but continued to stare at Norrington's eyes for a while before saying coldly:

"I accept your surrender! However, now I have one more request for you, if you complete it, in three months, we will give you a boat so that you and all you who want to leave can leave. Otherwise, you will all be put to death!" ”

Charlotte's next plan also needs to use these British royal soldiers, which is crucial.

Therefore, she directly made a cruel statement, her request, the other party must complete it, otherwise, she is likely to burn all the prisoners who dare not cooperate according to what she just said!

"As the victorious side, you certainly have the right to make any reasonable demands, which is customary and legal, please say it!"

Now the situation is that people are swords and I am fish and meat, since Norrington has decided to surrender before, where do you dare to play tricks or refuse?

He is not afraid of the other party's demands and conditions, because, since the other party still has to put forward conditions, it proves that they will not easily kill their own people, which shows that their own people are still useful; What he is afraid of is that the other party accepted his surrender without mentioning any conditions, in that case, it is the real danger and the real death!

"Very well, then, now I declare: you have all been hired by our witches! And the commission is your life! I need you to organize your soldiers to quell the chaos in the city and maintain order in Port Royal before it gets dark! For three months, after three months, I'll give you a boat to leave! ”

After speaking coldly, Charlotte once again stretched out her hand and handed back the saber that Brigadier Norrington had just had.

That's what Charlotte had come up with, a transitional plan to take Port Royal and take it completely.

After all, there were only a few of them now, and there was really no way to occupy and manage this place, and it would take her time to sort things out and grow their witch power, and after three months, she believed that they had enough power to occupy the city!

"Are you so sure that we won't take the opportunity to run away or cause trouble for you during this time?"

Norrington didn't do that, but he frowned and teased.

This kind of thing of capturing enemy cities and hiring captives to maintain law and order sounded quite novel, but he had never encountered it in Norrington! I'm afraid no one would dare to do this except for them witches, right?

Besides, they surrendered because they were defeated and became prisoners of the other side, instead of submitting to the other side, and the nature of the two is very different! In case, if the British Empire returns from the counteroffensive in the future, it will be difficult to explain this matter clearly.

Therefore, Norrington was also a little hesitant for a moment, and did not dare to reach out to take the saber handed back by the witch.

"Humph! I believe that you will not do that, and we are confident that you will not do that, because we have this ...... now."

Before she could finish her words, Charlotte directly shoved the saber back into the other party's hand, and then grabbed Norrington's arm fiercely, and a puff of smoke instantly emitted from the palm of her hand holding the other party's arm.

"Ah!!h

Caught off guard, Norrington screamed, and when he tried his best to break open Charlotte's palm and pull up his sleeve, he was shocked to find that on his forearm, the other party was actually branded with a strange flame-shaped symbol, and it was also glowing with bursts of red light?

"This symbol...... What exactly is it? ”

Norrington began to feel a little shocked when he saw it, this thing obviously didn't look like a good thing! How could they witches still have such a method? Is this a witch's curse? Or is it some kind of restrictive precaution?

But no matter what it is, it's never so nice to have something like this weird thing that glows red on your own arm! These witches are also really, if they cast spells at every turn, they can't negotiate properly and sign contracts on paper? Why be so barbaric?

"Humph! This mark will ensure that you don't run away for three months, remember what I said, Commodore General, no, that flame symbol is more than just a symbol, it will turn into a real flame that will burn you to the ground, including your soul! ”

Charlotte signed a contract with Timbers the Shadow Bear, and after using its power, she also gained some strange magical knowledge, and this Flame Curse Contract is one of them, this spell is especially suitable for enslaving some humans or humanoid creatures, as long as the caster activates the fire rune, the Shadow Flame can instantly burn the caster to ashes, and there is really no soul left.

You know, Tibbs has been with little Anne for so long, and basically the two are together all the time, so it is natural that he also knows a lot of magic, and now, these magic has also been passed on to Charlotte through the contract.

"Alright, now, Brigadier General Norrington, you can go out and lead your soldiers to quell the rebellion! Remember, move fast, it's best to go now! ”

After casting a curse on the other party, Charlotte looked at the other party with a smile, with this thing, she was not afraid of what small moves they would play, later, when she was free, she would put this mark on those important officials and generals one by one, not afraid that they would dare not cooperate!

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, even if you cut off the muscle on that hand, it's useless, because that curse actually acts on your soul!"

Seeing that the other party looked at her arm and seemed to be thinking about something, Charlotte added in time, she knew what Norrington was thinking, and she was not afraid of the other party doing it.

The reason why magic is called magic is because it is not understood and mastered by mortals, and Charlotte is now beginning to understand a little bit why the church will spare no effort to fight witches, one is for their faith; The other is that they are afraid of this power!

However, understanding is understanding, this does not become the reason for her to forgive the church, and their witch's revenge has only just begun!

"You ......"

Norrington held back his anger and looked deeply at the witch in front of him for a moment before turning around sharply and walking straight out of the door.

After Jack? As he was beside Sparrow, he snatched his hat from the pirate's head, and then kicked open the gate and walked out, and soon the sound of a hurried whistle on the lawn outside was heard as the soldiers were assembled.

"Aha! Congratulations, Your Excellency, you have obtained a beautiful tattoo! ”

Sparrow was not very angry when Norrington had re-snatched his hat, but just made a strange gesture to the other person's back outside the door, and then turned his head and burrowed into Governor Swan's special luxury wine cabinet, where all kinds of fine wines were stored, which was his favorite!

"That...... Feel free to do whatever you want, leave me alone. ”

When Captain Sparrow came back, with a bottle of rum in his mouth and two or three bottles in his hand, he quickly lay down on the couch and began to drink, not minding the way the other people looked at him, and reclining on the couch and waving his hat with one hand.

As everyone knows, his behavior made Weatherby? Swan grinned in distress!

It was a terrible feeling that these were the good things that Governor Swan had treasured for years, and that every bottle was of the finest quality, and that they had been so spoiled by this rude pirate.

"Governor Swan?"

When Norrington was arranged, and saw that the other party had begun to gather soldiers to suppress the riot, Charlotte began to turn to look at Weatherby, who had been staying next to him and did not dare to speak? Governor Swan.

"Ahh I'm right here, what do you command? ”

After hearing the witch's words, Governor Swan perked up and hurried over.

Now, after the other party has arranged Norrington's work, it should be his turn to deal with him, the governor, and he is a little nervous in his heart, hoping that her next arrangements will not be too bad, right?

"You heard what I said just now, right? For the next three months, you will also be in charge of the affairs of Port Royal, and we will send someone to take over slowly, and in the meantime, I don't want any chaos in Port Royal! Especially the material warehouse, and the vault! ”

Charlotte looked at the Governor fiercely, trying to make her expression look a little harsh.

"Otherwise! I'll hang you in the harbor, just like those pirates!" ”

Charlotte was not too worried about quelling the riots and maintaining order in the city, and after a while, when their witches grew stronger, she had the confidence to deter and manage order in the city with her own people.

But for government affairs, she has to learn slowly, and during this period, she has to rely on this respected Governor Swan, so the necessary beating is still necessary.

"Huh? When, of course, as you wish, I'll arrange everything! ”

Governor Swan knew more than Brigadier Norrington, he was just a nobleman, he didn't have the courage to resist the witch at all, and he didn't even dare to say a word of hard words, not to mention, he had a baby daughter, for Elizabeth's safety, he didn't want to die here so easily.

So, having accepted it, he quickly withdrew, and walked with a few guards in the direction of the nearby town hall, where he needed to gather the other officials to reorganize the chaotic city and declare that the Port Royal had changed hands.

Call......

After seeing that all the important things had been arranged, Charlotte finally relaxed and exhaled.

This is really too difficult for an ordinary girl half a day ago!

If it weren't for the self-confidence that comes with faith and extraordinary strength, she probably wouldn't have gotten to where she is now, right? Right now, if nothing else, as long as it is properly arranged and laid out, in three months, the city will be completely controlled by their witches, and she is very confident in this!

Charlotte believes that as long as she persists, everything will be fine, definitely!

"Butler!"

After thinking about everything, Charlotte finally shouted to the butler who had been standing in silence in the living room.

"Excuse me, what do you command?"

The butler of the governor's house walked over quickly, his head bowed, not daring to look at the other party.

After all, this is a living witch, a witch who can perform witchcraft! Even Brigadier General Norrington and his master, Governor Swan, both confessed, as a small person, how dare he? The situation is already like this, and he can't afford to serve the other party with all his heart.

"Now, let's go get dinner ready!"

Then, Charlotte turned her head to see Anne, who was sitting on another sofa and began to nap, and after a moment's pause, she quickly added:

"Also, go and prepare the best room now, go now!"

Night has fallen, and little Anne has begun to doze off after a busy day, and she has missed even a nap today.

"But ......"

The old butler looked at Charlotte a little embarrassed, and finally replied, "The best room is Miss Elizabeth's, she should have rested by now......"

"Then let her vacate the room and change it to another one!"

Charlotte looked at this butler with dissatisfaction, is it important that they are the master of the witch? Or is that Elizabeth important? Now, their witches are the masters of the city, not the original Governor of Swan!

"Yes, yes! Witch-sama! ”

Seeing that the witch was furious, the old butler was not calm, and hurriedly beckoned a maid and asked her to go up with him, and let Miss Elizabeth vacate the room first.

After watching the old butler lead one of the maids away, Charlotte took a blanket from the other maid's hand and gently draped it over little Anne, who was already asleep on the sofa.

"Take good care of our master, understand?"

After instructing the maid to take good care of the sleeping Anne, Charlotte led her four sisters to the bathroom with the other maid, who now needed a hot bath, and the wounds on their bodies, before changing into their clothes.

Of course, before leaving, Charlotte glared disapprovingly at Jack, who was leaning on the other couch? Sparrow, she hated this pirate captain so much, this bastard was still drinking in front of her? If it weren't for Master Anne's desire to use him, she would have burned this pirate in one fell swoop!

"Hah! Cheers to victory! ”

Jack? Sparrow didn't mind Charlotte's cannibalistic eyes at all, he even raised the bottle to salute Charlotte, and then continued to tilt his head and gulp it up, drunk and dreaming of death, one day at a time, this is the daily life of these pirates.

It's been a long time since he's had a good life, and he's been living a miserable life since his Black Pearl was snatched by the traitors. Even the wrecked ship he came to Port Royal this time was tricked from a friend by all means!

All right...... Let's just think that the man who stole the ship by him is his friend, anyway, the ship has already sunk after it arrived at Port Royal.

"Humph!"

Charlotte quickly turned away with a dark face, afraid that she would not be able to resist throwing a fireball at the shameless pirate captain and burning the filthy fellow.
