Chapter 217: The return of the king (1)

Naasir, a member of the Sicilian army on this oceanic expedition set to return as the liberators in the old capitle of the mediterrean kingdom , couldn't help but have mixed feelings about the life of a sailor.

During these times, Naasir found solace in the rhythmic creaking of the ship and the soothing lull of the waves. Yet, he couldn't shake the lingering unease that came with the territory of sea travel.
