Bab 329: Arrival of the king

Amidst the vast expanse of the rolling sea, the waves were broken as ships of various sizes and silhouettes glided through the water. The canvas of the ocean was adorned with the distinctive emblems that told tales of allegiance and dynastic pride. Most prominent among them were the flags proudly hoisted, bearing the unmistakable mark of the Sicilian black eagle and the trio of black lions on a field of gold—the sigils of the mighty Hohenstaufen dynasty alongisde that of the crown of sicily .

The wind whispered through the billowing sails of these vessels, each one a floating bastion of Sicilian might. The rhythmic dance of the waves seemed to echo the centuries-old maritime legacy, and the banners fluttered in the breeze as if saluting the boundless horizon.

 The reflection of sunlight on the undulating waves cast a golden hue upon these symbols of royal heritage, turning the sea into a living tapestry of power, prestige, and maritime prowess.
