~~~~~~

There are many stars in the night sky.

They are like shining gems placed in front of your eyes, but they are visible but intangible.

Underfoot, gentle waves swayed back and forth, and in the deep darkness, layers of phosphorescence were reflected, as if the sky and the sea had become one.

Megane stood blankly on the bow of the ship, quietly looking at the stars in the night sky. Her graceful figure looked like a fairy falling from the sky.

However, her big eyes, which were brighter than the stars in the night sky, were filled with a kind of sadness that could not be relieved.

A gust of sea breeze blew past her, blowing away the golden waves of her blond hair under the brim of her hat.

She carefully took off her round hat, and with her crystal-clear jade hands, she gently moved her long hair behind her temples, letting the sea breeze blow them around and dance.

"Ai……"

After a long time, she suddenly sighed softly.

Although she is only sixteen years old this year, because of her stunning appearance, she has always been the focus of the crowd no matter where she goes since she was a child.

This also makes her mentally more mature than her peers.

At this time, how could she not understand her father's intentions?

Only when she marries that playboy prince, her father, she, and her beloved brother can she truly enter the ranks of the nobility.

Although her heart was once filled with dreams, she hoped that one day, she could meet a truly flawless Prince Charming, give her a flawless but perfect love, and take her to a place without complications and materialistic desires.

world and live happily for the rest of your life.

Unfortunately, from the moment she set foot on this big ship, Megane has understood that her girl's dream, like the sea breeze that never stops, is drifting farther and farther away.

Thinking of her father's most familiar face, a warm smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Megane's pretty mouth.

Her father was the poorest shoemaker in Barcelona, ​​and his grandfather was a bad gambler. In order to let her and her mother and brother live the best life, her father almost spent all his money.

All his strength. When she was six years old, her father spent all his savings to send her, her mother, and her infant brother to Madrid. He even knelt down and begged to let her study in the most noble aristocratic school in Madrid.

Over the years, her father has never been inferior to her in terms of material things. He almost always responds to her requests. Even if she doesn't ask, her father will send the gold coins she needs to her in advance.

She is not a princess of noble blood, but she is the most precious princess in her father's eyes!

Thinking about it, Megane's little fists suddenly clenched tightly, "Dad, you have already paid so much for us. Now, it is time for us to repay you! I will follow your instructions and work hard to make good cards."

Stiya’s girlfriend, woman!”

At this time, a royal waiter hurriedly came to Megane and said respectfully: "Miss Megane, Prince of Castile has prepared the most delicious cocktail, and he invites you to taste it in the cabin."

Megane smiled faintly, as if flowers were in full bloom: "I know, I'll go there right away. By the way, you go tell His Highness the Prince that I have a beautiful gift for him when we get to the island."

…………

In the luxurious cabin, Castile, the fourth heir to the Spanish throne, was holding two exquisite cocktails and sitting on the sofa in trance.

Spain has always been rich in beauties.

Although Castilla is only twenty-one years old this year, with his distinguished status and beautiful appearance, even though he is young, he has already become a veteran of the flowers who have "walked among hundreds of flowers without touching a single leaf".

Originally, he thought that his life would continue in this kind of feasting and feasting.

But~~, since meeting Megane, this woman who resembles a divine elf, everything has changed.

Castilla doesn't know how long he can keep the freshness of Megane, one year? Two years? Or half a year, ten years?

But at this moment, he would not marry anyone other than Megane. For this reason, he even postponed the date of taking office in the New World.

You know, this position of assistant governor of Havana was secured for him by his mother at a considerable cost.

As long as he can work in Havana for a year or two and make some achievements, he will definitely be the governor-general.

And as long as he can control Spain's most important colony at this time, the 'hub' Havana, he will also have stronger capital in the future battle for the throne.

It's a pity that he has been desperately pursuing Megane for almost a year, but this little beauty never buys him.

Fortunately, what is fortunate is that her father, Varun da Gama, is an 'understanding man' and worked hard to create such a good opportunity for him.

At this time, seeing a most familiar figure walking in, Castilla quickly stood up. His original tiredness and decadence disappeared instantly. He hurriedly showed a gentleman-like smile and walked to Megana.

, smiled and said: "Ms. Megane, this is the cocktail I just made. I know you don't drink, so it is replaced with fruit juice and will never taste like alcohol. Do you want to try it?"

Megane smiled and took the wine glass handed over by Castilla, "Castilla, thank you. Thank you for protecting me like this."

Castilla couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was the first time in more than a year that he saw Megane smile in front of him, and her smile was so natural and beautiful.

Busily smiling, he invited Megane to sit on the sofa here.

He was like a waiter, diligently bringing the fruit plate over.

Megane noticed Castilla's attentiveness, and there was a hint of sadness in her big bright eyes~, but it quickly disappeared.

The two drank a few sips of wine, and Megane smiled and said: "Castilla, let's not drink too much here. Father has prepared a party for us in Coconut Leaf Island in advance. When the time comes, I will also give it to

A special gift for you."

"Gift?"

Castilla couldn't help but be stunned.

Megane smiled faintly: "There is a very nice hot spring on the island. I think you will like it!"

"Uh? Hot spring?"

Castilla also came back to his senses and couldn't help but be overjoyed, isn't this...

For a moment, he smiled quickly and said: "Miss Megane, please allow your most loyal knight, Castilla, to guard you forever."

…………

At this time, when the Spanish ship was filled with laughter and laughter, no one noticed that about two miles behind them, a small fleet composed of dozens of small boats was already like a ghost.

Keep an eye on them closely.

These boats have no sails or lights, and even the people are all crawling on the boats. Unless there is radar, the gods will not be able to see them in this weather.

But because there are lights on the Spanish ships, they are like beacons, guiding the direction of this small fleet.

On the bow of the ship, Li Yuanqing lay on the soft cushion beneath him, holding a monocular telescope and quietly observing the situation ahead.

Half an hour before Megane and the others set out to sea, Li Yuanqing had already taken Niu Gensheng, Li Sansheng and 500 carefully selected soldiers and set off from an inconspicuous little port. It was no different from an ordinary fishing boat.

Both, they just regrouped just a short while ago.

At this time, the Spanish ship's route has been very stable, and in the distance, the lights greeting the shore can be faintly seen.

On the side, Niu Gensheng whispered: "General, there is still about two and a half miles away. Should we speed up and land from both wings?"

Li Yuanqing put away the telescope and slowly shook his head, "Don't worry yet. Wait a little longer. After they all land."

"Yes." Niu Gensheng said no more and quickly lay down on the soft cushion beneath him.

Li Yuanqing quietly looked at the dim firelight in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Although this kind of thing is not authentic, it is full of temptation.

Both Megane and the Spanish Prince of Castile are very valuable treasures.

This world is basically a place where the weak prey on the strong.

The Spaniards have ruled Manila for more than a hundred years, and many Han compatriots have suffered from their exploitation and were forced to separate their wives and children.

Although Li Yuanqing's methods at this time are not glorious, the world is like this. Only the results speak, who cares about the specific process?

Originally, Li Yuanqing planned to wait until late at night before taking action, but Coconut Leaf Island is a bit far from Manila. According to the speed of these boats, it would take at least more than an hour.

In order to create an illusion, he must appear in Manila before dawn tomorrow morning, so the time must be advanced.

Of course, the main reason why Li Yuanqing dared to take such a risk was that Coconut Leaf Island was in a unique location, far away from the shipping routes and almost uninhabited. Even if we took action at this point, as long as there was no huge artillery sound, the problem would not be too big.

In fact, this is also the tone that many nobles like. On the one hand, they are greedy for the prosperity of the world, but on the other hand, they pretend to be "unconventional" and maintain a sense of aloof mystery.

However, Varun da Gama would never have dreamed that even if the location of his private island was very secret, and even if the Spanish main fleet was more than twenty miles away, even someone as courageous as Li Yuanqing would

He's so big that he dares to pull out his teeth!

Almost half an hour later, the Spanish ship had docked, and the crowd had arrived on the shore, making a lot of noise, and went to the island.

Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled: "Gen Sheng, tell Li Sansheng to take action! Remember, we must capture the Spanish ship in the shortest possible time!"

Niu Gensheng chuckled: "General, don't worry! I will go with Li Sansheng on this matter!"

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, "Be careful!"

"yes!"

After a moment, as Niu Gensheng took the lead to jump into the sea, there was a "plop-plop" all around him, and these soldiers jumped into the deep sea like fish one after another.

Because of the unique advantages of Changsheng Island, and the fact that there are so many fishermen in the team, there are so many people in the Changsheng camp who are proficient in water.

At this time, although it was about two miles away from Coconut Leaf Island, this was not a problem at all for the soldiers who had maintained high-intensity training all year round.

In addition, it was early summer and the water temperature was quite suitable.

The spearmen were also well prepared. Each of them had a piece of black driftwood as an aid. They had already taken off all their clothes. They only had sabers and daggers wrapped around ropes. Their weight was almost zero. They were just following them in the sea.

It's almost like taking a shower.

Soon, more than 300 people had disappeared into the sea, and like dexterous ghosts in the water, they quickly moved towards the Spanish fleet at the dock on the shore.
