I am so so hooked to this series. I can't wait for the next one. Pirates, Noble, Royals, races from other planets..... I just fiend for each episode!!!
maybe they have a backstory like MC? Like they're from some backwater planet and were sent up Chich creek only to have some nobleman stole their paddle.
1. Wyatt needs to learn to control his anger. First Salazar's glove, now this. I hope the capture info gets passed to Wyatt quickly. 2. Nultar;s reaction was ... entertaining 😆 Here's hoping Wyatt can help rehabilitate House Olkhara. 3. THIS is going to get interesting. The ship's complement looks more like escapees/refugees than pirates, and the ship's condition backs this up. Again, many thanks to the author and the channel for the fine work. Absolutely looking forward to the next installment!
I am thinking that is what Nultar's is hoping. The words of Clara come to mind. Were she say they will Promise you riches beyond your wildest dreams and cover there words in the sweetest of honey. I hope I am wrong but only time will tell. As for the children, most likely Refugees, now turn into a generation ship.😔
@@snowwolf81861. Hoping for rehab is a fair call, but curiosity is another point. Don't forget the squadron members' conversation at the beginning of Chapter 33 pt 1, where all the noble types were mystified and only Leo had it right. To be honest, they had the same reaction Jade had. Wyatt is different - and that concerns them. 1a. Another point - Nultar has nothing to offer except friendship, which is a huge thing to Wyatt but not the sort of thing most nobles value. 2. This isn't a generation ship IMO. Overall ship condition and lack of generational diversity argue against it. Although.... One wonders what "situation" Arkady encountered.
I don't think Wyatt can rehabilitate House Okara, but as a commander Wyatt's responsibilities include ensuring that those under his command are performing to their best, you could well argue that the situation with the failing House Okara is causing problems for Nultara, so I could certainly see Wyatt asking Clara if there is anything she can do to help save the Loyal house without also offending House Reid, ideally without making it obvious that the request comes from Wyatt. In an ideal situation Wyatt engineers a scenario whereby Nultar does something Heroic. this then lets Clara make some sort of Award to Nultar along with an apparently throwaway comment that it is a shame his noble hose is suffering and she wishes that loyal houses would support each other more in these trying times. This then causes house Reid to suspend it's attempts to destroy the house and gets other houses to do small things to help. Result House Okara survives and is grateful to the Astors, House Reid looses nothing and so saves face and Nultar realises that Wyatt somehow set this up and decides to do his best for his commander
@@davidorf3921 TBH, I did say "help" rehabilitate House Olkara. While Wyatt does have standing, it's nothing like enough to do it on his own. Wyatt can offer the chance, but Nultar needs to step up when it comes. Royal favor is not handed out like pediatrician's candy. As an aside, I'm noticing some pushback in the comments.

Great chapter Liked the connection Wyatt was making with his squad mate. It will be interesting to see what is on the bridge exactly. Yet one more mystery to be solved that will have me eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

Love it hooked on it. The Black Ship would make a hell of a TV series. I can't get enough. I have listened to the story 3 times . While waiting on new chapters.
OK I just was having a chat with EkhidnaWritez they have not yet finished re writing part 3 which is expected to be another 5 - 6 thousand words currently they think another day or two before it will be out. The lengths greater than parts 1 or 2 so hopefully a good ending for the week
Wyatt looking for gifts, how about either whittling out models of the Noirnavio or paintings? Wyatt was good at whittling and Mr Warlo taught him to paint I know someone's collection could us one probably have to be a different scale maybe use the replicator to produce many copies to distribute a great loyalty team building action.
I respect that the story didn't invent some BS reason for Wyatt to be on the boarding party and just followed Captain Milkades for the boarding party. Also cool that the story allowed Redford and Wyatt to be on Team "Kill the Ship (that turned out to be) Full of Teens and Children." My wild-ass guess is that this used to be a pirate/slaver ship and the slave-kids revolted and took it over. I wonder if this will be the start of Clara building a fleet.
I have a feeling it coming but for Wyatt its not going to happen until at least he has found his equilibrium as a officer and an noble. Then he may be open to romance but probably any woman who has genuine romantic feelings for him will have to beet him over the head metaphorically and/or physically to get him to see it. Considering originally Wyatt was not going to even think about romance or marriage until he completed his tour of duty and left the navy.
Interesting seeing this chapter with Wyatt once again getting owned by Cynthia beating up him up during their training sessions. Nice touch of having Nultar Olkara seeing Wyatt’s unfortunate situation. I do like how we bit of time gap of about 2 weeks to speed things along faster. Its nice to see Wyatt’s character growth in with his situational awareness of his surroundings making him notice thing that he did not notice before. Like how many unmarried noble women of the Noirnavio are trying to subtly seduce him by showing their sexual interest in him. Its no surprise that after a while of Wyatt ingoring all sexual advances of noble women, that some would think he is gay and gay/bisexual noble guys try to woo him now too! Not surprising that some bold commoner women would also try to get Wyatt as their boyfriend and if lucky their husband. No surprise that Wyatt is confused why the noble women are only using nonverbal seduction attempts. Glad to see that Wyatt is getting better in hand to hand combat. I do like how Nultar helps Wyatt up and to his room and the 2 get to know each other better. I do love how Wyatt tells Nultar that the most intimate relationship he has is with the floor with how Cynthia keeps making him spend much time there. Its nice to hear about Nultar’s background and how his house Olkara bordered the Windfield territory and it became a fallen house due to the machinations of house Ried. I do like how Wyatt asks Nultar for a more grounded view on noble politics, especially with a more bleak view than Cynthia and Clara due to he’s from a fallen house. Its interesting to hear that a fallen house does not mean dead house but a house on the rocks that may have lands and money but has basically no political or economic power. I do like how Nultar has a reasonable hatred of house Ried is based on the disproportional retaliation Ried did to his house example of where a grenade should be used but a tactical nuclear weapon was used instead. I do like how Nultar’s mood is improved by just hearing Wyatt does he want to hear why Salazar Ried is on the ship with a mischievous grin.☺ Not surprised that Nultar ended up laughing tears hearing how Wyatt end up owning Salazar in the duel. It was hilarious how Nultar end up laughing so much that he nearly fell to the ground due to hearing how Salazar was severely punished for his stunt by Commander Juliana and by his own house for bring it such shame! 🤣 I have a feeling this is the start of good friendship between Wyatt and Nultar. I would not be surprised that Nultar’s friendship with Wyatt will end up becoming the life line his house needs to save itself from its slow death spiral. Interesting unexpected encounter of a pirate vessel and without them knowing the Noirnavio is there. I do like Clara asks her command staff what they think is the best idea to handle the pirate ship. It was smart of Clara to do a boarding action of the pirate ship to gain intel, especially if this ship is part of a pirate syndicate. Well this is nice twist the last section was from Captain Milkades POV and confusion that this “pirate ships” crew seems to made up of mostly teenagers. It will be interesting seeing what EkhidnaWritez has planned with this "Pirate ship." I do hope that Cynitha has a recording of the entire sitruation of Wyatt and Salazar’s duel. This way Nultar can watch the entire thing bringing him much joy and have him send a copy of it to his family.😊
There may be something on the planetoid as Wyatt hasn't got to try out his hopped up fighter. If this is where part 3 goes to where is Clara's promised explanation?
@@ArthurBuchanan-vf7kx Its a real good possibility but it would be more funny if there was nothing to find on the planetiod and mess with the exceptions of many readers. Its some thing I could totally see EkhidnaWritez doing since he has done it in the past before. I do think Clara's explanation on her and Cynthia's fearsome reputations amongst nobles will be probably after this situation with the "pirate ship" is resolved and in another chapter not in any potential part 3.
Not a new chapter just part 2 of Chapter 37 with Part 3 tomorrow (Same time) apparently it might be a couple of days rather than tomorrow, but still good
I get the impression that this ship got stranded due to technical issues and got turned into essentially a generation ship. Or, maybe, this is part of whatever conspiracy was hinted at with the Drazan.
Maybe the Pirates put their kids on a spare ship with just enough older people on board to take it somewhere and hide from the Drazzan whilst they stayed behind to stop the Drazzan getting their children ?
Yeah, the more I’ve been thinking about this episode- I’m thinking this was a Drazzen Cattle ship, delivering to a secret Drazzen base, that’ll be located on the planet…
I think Wyatt is always going to be weaker than her, Cynthia want's a good man to protect Clara if she is ever unable to do so, I suspect Cynthia was custom built to look after Clara She is by my estimate as good as a pair of Royal Marines in a fight or at least that is how she rates herself based on the action that took the Noirnavio that means she has at the very least the highest level combat related genetic and/or cybernetic implants nd has I suspect been raised from birth as a bodyguard. No matter what training and implants Wyatt gets he is never going to match that, however with her training he will be far better prepared to take care of himself and if Cynthia is out of action for any reason he will be an acceptable if poor substitute to protect Clara, enough to get her to a ship and use his true skills to get away and keep her safe
I agree but would also add that she cares for Wyatt and in a scenario where she is not with him she wants to feel comforted with the knowledge that he can protect himself.
@@davidorf3921 I suspect Cynthia was selected & genetically altered pre-birth to be a bodyguard for the Astors so she'll have tier 1 implants, and as we learned back on Matcha they can only be applied in the womb
@@davidorf3921 Only problem I see with Cynthia as a bodyguard from birth is, why just Clara if this is being done. Is something special about Clara that was known the first year of her life? Is Veronica another one like Cynthia maybe for her brother ( if so this plan is off the tracks)?
I keep waiting for the day during training when cynthia lunges towards Wyatt in a powerful attack instead of dodging out of the way he catches her and pills her close. Face to face tightly held together cynthia is so flustered by Wyatt’s defensive strategy she awkwardly brushes her hair over her ear and calls an end to the training and quickly departs the gym stunned.
I love the story. Makes me wonder if ever Wyatt and the princess and Cynthia ever get stuck on a crazy adventure bringing out the true skills of the 3.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. And posting a new chapter this soon!?! You are very generous!! 🎉🎉🎉 The return of action in space! Yeah! 🎉🎉🎉 The introduction of the new villain (the pirates) is most intriguing!
I have a feeling the situation of this "pirate ship" may not be so black and white. Heck they might not even be pirates! There is nothing specifically so far with 100% certainty saying this converted freighter is an actual pirate ship, especially with most of the crew being teenagers or children.
Not a new chapter just part 2 of Chapter 37 with Part 3 tomorrow (Same time) apparently it might be a couple of days rather than tomorrow, but still good
I would like to see more about the Red Headed Nobel from the party.... She has potential and is on the hunt, possibly for Draymore's son. Beautiful, dangerous, and a possible source of invaluable information, we already know she has the hots for Wyatt. It would be quite like her to take a second try at Wyatt for his affections she seems like a foil to Miss Winfield... or possibly a passionate kiss away from forcing Princess Clara's hand.
Lol they better not mess with Cynthia's new boy toy And the prince told Wyatt if anyone gets to claim him it's the princess 😂should change the story name to crack rock 😂 cause I'm already jonesing for the next chapter 😂
Cynthia would be a good love match for wyatt. Shes nobility but not in any line of succession. Her sister might marry the prince. So wyatt would be family. They both have skills the other dont possess. They both have common values. And they both have seen the weakness in each other. Some comments have indicated clara might have eyes on wyatt. Clara would be a good match with her imprisoned cousin. Their marriage should end any conflict. Clara would gain the principality but lose wyatt
First cousins would be unusual but not unheard of I'm still going for Clara and Wyatt, with Cynthia and Wyatt as the alternative though, Clara is third or maybe 4th in line for the throne, inheriting it will require a lot of dead older siblings.
@@davidorf3921 i am thinking that the prince will not live much longer. Or his brothers or the 1st princess astor. Their crazy butcher cousin victoria will see to that. And what better way to keep the bloodline pure than marrying your cousin. Queen Clara has what it takes to be a great, ruthless ruler. Cynthia and Wyatt can serve her and still have a happy home life. If wyatt marries her all hell will break loose. He will never be more than an upstart commoner to some.
@@Roshand-pl9tn very true, on the other hand consider the following, If Wyatt keeps doing well he will build up a fearsome reputation, Clara already terrifies the nobles and there appears to be a council who approves the prince for leadership , note it's called a Principality we do not know if a Princess can take the title (not all Principalities can) The Nobles might not like Wyatt marrying Clara but they will be very quiet about it because being vocal is likely to have both Wyatt and Clara come for a visit. The other possibility assuming Wyatt moderates the kill them all stance Clara took when capturing the Noir navio on a regular or even irregular but noticed occasions is the Nobles may actually be relieved , Of course there is a plus side, the commoners realise that if they perform exceptionally they too could rise to positions of rank and you get an outburst of support for the Astor Family from the population for marrying a man born as a commoner
Still voting for Wyatt Clara. The major problem in the principality is the nobility commoner problems something like the Magna Carta is overdue, hence Clara marring a commoner is a big step towardthis
@@ArthurBuchanan-vf7kx agreed. Its a society in need of reform. But wars tend to overturn things. The writer has a lot to think about from these comments
@@Infgrunt11b well to be fair they are in a powerful ship which probably cannot be detected by the vessel they are attacking and they have sent wyatts wing to check out the planetoid to see if it is a trap. They decided that capturing the ship could give them potentially important information, once that decision was taken they then carried out a reasonable operation .
I have a feeling the story will end with wyatts death after Clara and him have had a passion filled scenario in which Clara expresses her love for him... or cynthia.
I just was chatting with EkhidnaWritez you are going to have to wait a day or two longer I'm afraid, part 3 is looking like it's going to be between 5 and 6 thousand words
Its better that EkhidnaWritez takes extra time when he needs it to make sure quality of the story stay high and constant. I rather have longer wait times between chapters to keep high quality writing over shorter time between chapters but lower quality writing and continuity errors.
Wyatt and Cynthia would make a nice couple and their kids would be the most loyal citizens in the principality. Also the friend group wouldn’t be broken up.
As far as the children I have zero idea whats going to happen to them I cant imagine Clara just taking them to Finnegan territory and abandoning her mission
I wouldn't mind If wyatt gets a commoner lady as long as Cynthia, and clara approve and I hope its a woman who is the female version of wyatt with the exception of how she enters the story. Say a pilot who was with the Caystons didn't know about the coup but was the last surviving fighter pilot after both cayston and drazzan forces had a pyhrric battle in space.
@@Soundwave119 He would have to go up a ton of ranks to be allowed any chance with Cynthia. Clara is out of the question. Knights aren't allowed to marry ducal families unless a pregnancy was involved and Cynthia wouldn't besmirch her house. Wyatt would have to move up to an Earl or Maquis level noble. Example Leon Bartfoot Trapped in a Dating Sim had to rise his noble status to marry a ducal heiress and did through deeds
Wyatt’s image colapsad, he bécame a Noble happy trigger, he was supposed to moderate Clara and come out more bloody than she, Galt, Cinthia and Milkades gave him a lesson in intelligence and moderation, as Galt explains, it was the same shooting or boarding her, A very important part of the mission is the collection of information, and what better source of information than a probable pirate ship. How did he feel when he found out that the ship he was so happy to blow was full of children.
Someone doesn't have an addiction to this story! 🤣 Regardless its good to see you supporting this great channel and EkhidnaWritez in continuing this awesome story!
He has no power at all do do such a thing, but he's friends with a young lady who certainly has that power if she chooses to use it. The question I guess will be would improving Nultars family situation make him a better member of the team
In order to get Clara or the prince to use that power for House Olkara, House Olkara will have to earn it. This is especially important since this affects House Reid, which at the moment is a very important supporter of the prince's right to rule. It will require ironclad justification and a deft political touch to not make House Reid feel ignored, overlooked, or otherwise insulted.
@@carsparks1980 The way to do it is effectively by making the comment amongst suitable people that it would be a shame if a loyal house such as house Okara were to founder (or similar words) this does not outright criticize house Reid but tells them they have punished their rivals enough, a few hoses giving minor contracts to house Okara prevent its destruction without making it a threat to Reid
@@davidorf3921I can see Wyatt returning the favor, friendship, support & Respect shown to him by Nultar. Wyatt already sees Nultar’s Skills as a pilot, and through Deeds, Wyatt will be able to help restore house Okara standings… Keep in mind- Salaazar gave house Reid a Major Black Eye, and was the main reason why he was punished as harshly as he was… Granted- not the fullest extent, but damn near close…

Wyatt looking for gifts, how about either whittling out models of the Noirnavio or paintings? Wyatt was good at whittling and Mr Warlo taught him to paint I know someone's collection could us one probably have to be a different scale maybe use the replicator to produce many copies to distribute a great loyalty team building action.
I respect that the story didn't invent some BS reason for Wyatt to be on the boarding party and just followed Captain Milkades for the boarding party. Also cool that the story allowed Redford and Wyatt to be on Team "Kill the Ship (that turned out to be) Full of Teens and Children." My wild-ass guess is that this used to be a pirate/slaver ship and the slave-kids revolted and took it over. I wonder if this will be the start of Clara building a fleet.
I need more. This story is so good.
I have always look to a story about Wyatt, Cynthia and their My Lady Clara. Thanks for the post, but maybe more of a clff hanger. LOL
Good one, eagerly awaiting the next
This would be a fantastic show. Animated or live actors…it would be unreal.
man I love this story has about everything Im looking for in a story only thing missing is a bit od romance not over the top but subtle.
I have a feeling it coming but for Wyatt its not going to happen until at least he has found his equilibrium as a officer and an noble. Then he may be open to romance but probably any woman who has genuine romantic feelings for him will have to beet him over the head metaphorically and/or physically to get him to see it. Considering originally Wyatt was not going to even think about romance or marriage until he completed his tour of duty and left the navy.
Ha! Straight to it! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Interesting seeing this chapter with Wyatt once again getting owned by Cynthia beating up him up during their training sessions. Nice touch of having Nultar Olkara seeing Wyatt’s unfortunate situation. I do like how we bit of time gap of about 2 weeks to speed things along faster.
Its nice to see Wyatt’s character growth in with his situational awareness of his surroundings making him notice thing that he did not notice before.
Like how many unmarried noble women of the Noirnavio are trying to subtly seduce him by showing their sexual interest in him. Its no surprise that after a while of Wyatt ingoring all sexual advances of noble women, that some would think he is gay and gay/bisexual noble guys try to woo him now too! Not surprising that some bold commoner women would also try to get Wyatt as their boyfriend and if lucky their husband. No surprise that Wyatt is confused why the noble women are only using nonverbal seduction attempts.
Glad to see that Wyatt is getting better in hand to hand combat. I do like how Nultar helps Wyatt up and to his room and the 2 get to know each other better. I do love how Wyatt tells Nultar that the most intimate relationship he has is with the floor with how Cynthia keeps making him spend much time there. Its nice to hear about Nultar’s background and how his house Olkara bordered the Windfield territory and it became a fallen house due to the machinations of house Ried.
I do like how Wyatt asks Nultar for a more grounded view on noble politics, especially with a more bleak view than Cynthia and Clara due to he’s from a fallen house. Its interesting to hear that a fallen house does not mean dead house but a house on the rocks that may have lands and money but has basically no political or economic power. I do like how Nultar has a reasonable hatred of house Ried is based on the disproportional retaliation Ried did to his house example of where a grenade should be used but a tactical nuclear weapon was used instead.
I do like how Nultar’s mood is improved by just hearing Wyatt does he want to hear why Salazar Ried is on the ship with a mischievous grin.☺ Not surprised that Nultar ended up laughing tears hearing how Wyatt end up owning Salazar in the duel. It was hilarious how Nultar end up laughing so much that he nearly fell to the ground due to hearing how Salazar was severely punished for his stunt by Commander Juliana and by his own house for bring it such shame! 🤣
I have a feeling this is the start of good friendship between Wyatt and Nultar. I would not be surprised that Nultar’s friendship with Wyatt will end up becoming the life line his house needs to save itself from its slow death spiral.
Interesting unexpected encounter of a pirate vessel and without them knowing the Noirnavio is there. I do like Clara asks her command staff what they think is the best idea to handle the pirate ship. It was smart of Clara to do a boarding action of the pirate ship to gain intel, especially if this ship is part of a pirate syndicate. Well this is nice twist the last section was from Captain Milkades POV and confusion that this “pirate ships” crew seems to made up of mostly teenagers. It will be interesting seeing what EkhidnaWritez has planned with this "Pirate ship."
I do hope that Cynitha has a recording of the entire sitruation of Wyatt and Salazar’s duel. This way Nultar can watch the entire thing bringing him much joy and have him send a copy of it to his family.😊
There may be something on the planetoid as Wyatt hasn't got to try out his hopped up fighter. If this is where part 3 goes to where is Clara's promised explanation?
Thank you, soundwave!
@@ArthurBuchanan-vf7kx Its a real good possibility but it would be more funny if there was nothing to find on the planetiod and mess with the exceptions of many readers. Its some thing I could totally see EkhidnaWritez doing since he has done it in the past before. I do think Clara's explanation on her and Cynthia's fearsome reputations amongst nobles will be probably after this situation with the "pirate ship" is resolved and in another chapter not in any potential part 3.
ah another fine chapter drops
Not a new chapter just part 2 of Chapter 37 with Part 3 tomorrow (Same time) apparently it might be a couple of days rather than tomorrow, but still good
Yes new episode
I am really enjoying the story line for this series. Between this and Armored Terrain I am always waiting for the next story!
I get the impression that this ship got stranded due to technical issues and got turned into essentially a generation ship.
Or, maybe, this is part of whatever conspiracy was hinted at with the Drazan.
What if the captured cattle fought back and won? That would explain why they are out of ammo
Maybe the Pirates put their kids on a spare ship with just enough older people on board to take it somewhere and hide from the Drazzan whilst they stayed behind to stop the Drazzan getting their children ?
@@davidorf3921 actually a valid theory, possible
Not a generation ship. I can't see in this picture what had to be changed for part 3
Yeah, the more I’ve been thinking about this episode- I’m thinking this was a Drazzen Cattle ship, delivering to a secret Drazzen base, that’ll be located on the planet…
Cynthia just doesn't want a man weaker than herself to protect our princess.
I think Wyatt is always going to be weaker than her, Cynthia want's a good man to protect Clara if she is ever unable to do so, I suspect Cynthia was custom built to look after Clara She is by my estimate as good as a pair of Royal Marines in a fight or at least that is how she rates herself based on the action that took the Noirnavio that means she has at the very least the highest level combat related genetic and/or cybernetic implants nd has I suspect been raised from birth as a bodyguard.
No matter what training and implants Wyatt gets he is never going to match that, however with her training he will be far better prepared to take care of himself and if Cynthia is out of action for any reason he will be an acceptable if poor substitute to protect Clara, enough to get her to a ship and use his true skills to get away and keep her safe
@@davidorf3921 True. Unlike Cynthia Wyatt was not born a noble so he cannot get many implants cuz he is too old to be made compatible with them
I agree but would also add that she cares for Wyatt and in a scenario where she is not with him she wants to feel comforted with the knowledge that he can protect himself.
@@davidorf3921 I suspect Cynthia was selected & genetically altered pre-birth to be a bodyguard for the Astors so she'll have tier 1 implants, and as we learned back on Matcha they can only be applied in the womb
@@davidorf3921 Only problem I see with Cynthia as a bodyguard from birth is, why just Clara if this is being done. Is something special about Clara that was known the first year of her life? Is Veronica another one like Cynthia maybe for her brother ( if so this plan is off the tracks)?
Love this story. Only one I'm following at the moment. I'm not good following more than one story at a time.
We need more!!! I am in to the big time
Gincho will be honored beyond what all yet know...that I'm sure of....he's a raskel and genius
thanks for an interesting chapter [part 2]
ship full of kids this is a twist I did not exspect... Realy liking this good work.😎💓💓
I keep waiting for the day during training when cynthia lunges towards Wyatt in a powerful attack instead of dodging out of the way he catches her and pills her close. Face to face tightly held together cynthia is so flustered by Wyatt’s defensive strategy she awkwardly brushes her hair over her ear and calls an end to the training and quickly departs the gym stunned.
In the app that gives them speed and strength Cynthia no doubt has received the number FOUR app which Wyatt can never receive!

Thankyou. Enjoy Ko-fi. The Black Ship - Chapter 37 Part 2
This seemingly simple story is very good
I love the story. Makes me wonder if ever Wyatt and the princess and Cynthia ever get stuck on a crazy adventure bringing out the true skills of the 3.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And posting a new chapter this soon!?! You are very generous!! 🎉🎉🎉
The return of action in space! Yeah! 🎉🎉🎉
The introduction of the new villain (the pirates) is most intriguing!
not sure these are going to be Villans maybe recruits
I have a feeling the situation of this "pirate ship" may not be so black and white. Heck they might not even be pirates! There is nothing specifically so far with 100% certainty saying this converted freighter is an actual pirate ship, especially with most of the crew being teenagers or children.
Great job and good luck 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥
O give me the next one please great work 😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes, yes, yes.. A new chapter.
Not a new chapter just part 2 of Chapter 37 with Part 3 tomorrow (Same time) apparently it might be a couple of days rather than tomorrow, but still good
Those "pirates" looks like more a runaway refugees.
I would like to see more about the Red Headed Nobel from the party.... She has potential and is on the hunt, possibly for Draymore's son. Beautiful, dangerous, and a possible source of invaluable information, we already know she has the hots for Wyatt. It would be quite like her to take a second try at Wyatt for his affections she seems like a foil to Miss Winfield... or possibly a passionate kiss away from forcing Princess Clara's hand.
I don’t think anyone apposed to cynthia has a future
Amazing as always ❤
Lol they better not mess with Cynthia's new boy toy
And the prince told Wyatt if anyone gets to claim him it's the princess
😂should change the story name to crack rock 😂 cause I'm already jonesing for the next chapter 😂
The story is great and makes you want more love it ❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Thanks you Chris!
Cynthia would be a good love match for wyatt. Shes nobility but not in any line of succession. Her sister might marry the prince. So wyatt would be family.
They both have skills the other dont possess. They both have common values. And they both have seen the weakness in each other.
Some comments have indicated clara might have eyes on wyatt. Clara would be a good match with her imprisoned cousin. Their marriage should end any conflict.
Clara would gain the principality but lose wyatt
First cousins would be unusual but not unheard of I'm still going for Clara and Wyatt, with Cynthia and Wyatt as the alternative though, Clara is third or maybe 4th in line for the throne, inheriting it will require a lot of dead older siblings.
@@davidorf3921 i am thinking that the prince will not live much longer. Or his brothers or the 1st princess astor. Their crazy butcher cousin victoria will see to that. And what better way to keep the bloodline pure than marrying your cousin. Queen Clara has what it takes to be a great, ruthless ruler. Cynthia and Wyatt can serve her and still have a happy home life. If wyatt marries her all hell will break loose. He will never be more than an upstart commoner to some.
@@Roshand-pl9tn very true, on the other hand consider the following, If Wyatt keeps doing well he will build up a fearsome reputation, Clara already terrifies the nobles and there appears to be a council who approves the prince for leadership , note it's called a Principality we do not know if a Princess can take the title (not all Principalities can) The Nobles might not like Wyatt marrying Clara but they will be very quiet about it because being vocal is likely to have both Wyatt and Clara come for a visit.
The other possibility assuming Wyatt moderates the kill them all stance Clara took when capturing the Noir navio on a regular or even irregular but noticed occasions is the Nobles may actually be relieved , Of course there is a plus side, the commoners realise that if they perform exceptionally they too could rise to positions of rank and you get an outburst of support for the Astor Family from the population for marrying a man born as a commoner
Still voting for Wyatt Clara. The major problem in the principality is the nobility commoner problems something like the Magna Carta is overdue, hence Clara marring a commoner is a big step towardthis
@@ArthurBuchanan-vf7kx agreed. Its a society in need of reform. But wars tend to overturn things. The writer has a lot to think about from these comments
All I can say is love it ❤❤❤❤❤
That's perfect timing! I was just finishing the book 2 playlist when this popped up. Witch by the way, thanks for the link.
So excited for this
Yup, daily dose. Jitters subsiding......for now.
Black Ship! YES!
It has to be a trap... Why doesn't Wyatt see this, or any of the other officers ?
They mentioned no way to get any spies aboard the ship earlier, perhaps a way to infiltrate?
@@Infgrunt11b well to be fair they are in a powerful ship which probably cannot be detected by the vessel they are attacking and they have sent wyatts wing to check out the planetoid to see if it is a trap. They decided that capturing the ship could give them potentially important information, once that decision was taken they then carried out a reasonable operation .
A kick upsidedown following by a spinning sweep ? Was wyatt training with Eddy Gordo in secret?
Ah those pesky noble women trying to tempt wyatt 🙄😊
I bet some are thinking Wyatt and Cynthia are a couple
@@terrywilson1226Well, that's my ship.
Other than Clara, she is the one who spend most time with him.
@@terrywilson1226 That is my bet on who he will end up with (if he ends up with anyone in this story)
I have a feeling the story will end with wyatts death after Clara and him have had a passion filled scenario in which Clara expresses her love for him... or cynthia.
@@diclicious9100 I seriously doubt they would kill off wyatt but it maybe a close thing with a happy ending 😉
The Pirate Ship is intriguing .
Thought we’d get part 3 today. Guys are bummed
I just was chatting with EkhidnaWritez you are going to have to wait a day or two longer I'm afraid, part 3 is looking like it's going to be between 5 and 6 thousand words
Bummer
Its better that EkhidnaWritez takes extra time when he needs it to make sure quality of the story stay high and constant. I rather have longer wait times between chapters to keep high quality writing over shorter time between chapters but lower quality writing and continuity errors.
Hmm
Thanks captain obvious. Shit!!
What if these kids all happen to be runaway from the drazan
That is real good possibility. Its could be a million and one other things like running away from very toxic nobles or human pirates.
Love it!!
I'm coming in kind of late cuz i just now realized you posted it
Wow -- that really makes me want to see the next chapter!
Wyatt and Cynthia would make a nice couple and their kids would be the most loyal citizens in the principality. Also the friend group wouldn’t be broken up.
Wyattsan forgot to wax on wax off
Escapees from a Drazzan breeding farm?
Interesting idea, one now I think of it could very well seeing EkhidnaWritez going that way.
As always, this is too short. 😂 but thank you to the author and this channel.
Great book
10805 views 8 hours ago. Time to go back to work and listen to the remainder much later.
Why do I always seem to start great fantastic stories that aren't finished yet😂😢
What happened since he saw his Fighter 😮
Ooo I’m loving this
Loving it!
👍👍
i think Cynthia has all the wevethew implants which explains her strength and agility . she is at least the same as a royal marine
As far as the children I have zero idea whats going to happen to them I cant imagine Clara just taking them to Finnegan territory and abandoning her mission
❤️❤️
Woot
I wouldn't mind If wyatt gets a commoner lady as long as Cynthia, and clara approve and I hope its a woman who is the female version of wyatt with the exception of how she enters the story. Say a pilot who was with the Caystons didn't know about the coup but was the last surviving fighter pilot after both cayston and drazzan forces had a pyhrric battle in space.
I would not be bothered if Wyatt has romance with a common woman and/or marries her but its more likely Wyatt ends up with either Cynthia or Clara.
@@Soundwave119 He would have to go up a ton of ranks to be allowed any chance with Cynthia. Clara is out of the question. Knights aren't allowed to marry ducal families unless a pregnancy was involved and Cynthia wouldn't besmirch her house. Wyatt would have to move up to an Earl or Maquis level noble. Example Leon Bartfoot Trapped in a Dating Sim had to rise his noble status to marry a ducal heiress and did through deeds
So glad wyat is into the ladies. NGL.
🤣
I'm glad he made his preference known w/ respect for other preferences.
Wyatt’s image colapsad, he bécame a Noble happy trigger, he was supposed to moderate Clara and come out more bloody than she, Galt, Cinthia and Milkades gave him a lesson in intelligence and moderation, as Galt explains, it was the same shooting or boarding her, A very important part of the mission is the collection of information, and what better source of information than a probable pirate ship. How did he feel when he found out that the ship he was so happy to blow was full of children.
He doesn't know yet, and nobody had any reason to suspect it was anything other than a damaged pirate ship.
More MORE MMOORREE!
cant wait for the next episode lol
th-cam.com/video/BDB1K7f4f8A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_C5h5INDwBeRPvxC
Thank you for the super-thanks!
Someone doesn't have an addiction to this story! 🤣 Regardless its good to see you supporting this great channel and EkhidnaWritez in continuing this awesome story!
Wyatts hands rated e for everyone
❤
So, let me guess. House Olkara will join House Stables - and Wyatt has the absolute power to move them out of Pariah status.
🤔
He has no power at all do do such a thing, but he's friends with a young lady who certainly has that power if she chooses to use it. The question I guess will be would improving Nultars family situation make him a better member of the team
In order to get Clara or the prince to use that power for House Olkara, House Olkara will have to earn it. This is especially important since this affects House Reid, which at the moment is a very important supporter of the prince's right to rule.
It will require ironclad justification and a deft political touch to not make House Reid feel ignored, overlooked, or otherwise insulted.
@@carsparks1980 The way to do it is effectively by making the comment amongst suitable people that it would be a shame if a loyal house such as house Okara were to founder (or similar words) this does not outright criticize house Reid but tells them they have punished their rivals enough, a few hoses giving minor contracts to house Okara prevent its destruction without making it a threat to Reid
@@davidorf3921I can see Wyatt returning the favor, friendship, support & Respect shown to him by Nultar. Wyatt already sees Nultar’s Skills as a pilot, and through Deeds, Wyatt will be able to help restore house Okara standings… Keep in mind- Salaazar gave house Reid a Major Black Eye, and was the main reason why he was punished as harshly as he was… Granted- not the fullest extent, but damn near close…
Waiting for part three like 😭😭😭
