Capítulo 302: The Sea

Serenica could not resist the temptation to dig up anything and everything about the angry widows. It was a topic she had often thought of – women stayed home, as silent victims of the violent ways of men. Of course, the good doctor herself was an exception, but that made no difference to the general rule of thumb.

She had taken a step away from the traditional way of viewing herself and others through gender. In piracy and healing, it made no difference.

She loved the king and could not bear to be away from him for too long.
