Chapter 21 - Roman The Idiot

"Dear little bro Roman, it seems that you have a problem with your security team. They are slacking". She turned to face her brother with a devilish smirk that was gracing her lips. A few of her curly red strands that fell onto her face made her appearance even more crazy and scary.

"What are you even talking about Scar? Obviously the pirate from Unholy Trinities coven was an error, but that was quickly resolved . . . no thanks to you" Roman muttered that last part with envy and annoyance.

She clicked her tongue in annoyance at her little brother's ignorance and placed her small hand against her head in distress. "Roman, you truly are an idiot aren't you? Did success go to your head? Or is it your old age that is causing your intelligence and senses to take a dive into the shitter?" She released a loud sigh in disappointment.

"I'm not that old Scarlet!!!" He cried out in frustration. "Stop beating around the bush and tell me what is going on in that evil mind of yours!"

"Either you have someone who is a mole in charge of recruitment or you just have a poor sense of judgement when you allow people to carelessly join your crew" Scarlet rolled her eyes at this dumb brother of hers.

"How can you say that? Just because somehow that Holy Trinity trash found his way onto my vessel-

Scarlet slammed her hand down hard on his wooden desk that it made almost the whole room rumble and a few empty bottles rattled from what can be assumed previously contained rum or wine.

"Roman this is serious, you have so many people on this vessel that are liars, traitors and spies. For example look out your window and look at those two mopping the deck." She grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards the window, once they got close enough she grabbed his face and pointed it into the direction of the two crewmen who she just previously talked to before coming to the captains quarters.

He stared at them for a moment. "They are just mopping! I don't see anything out of the ordinary!" He turned to look at his fiery little sister.

Scarlet gave him a hard stare with her lips pressed into a thin line. Roman has seen that look so many times before, complete disappointment.

She heated up her index finger with magic and thumped him on his forehead with incredible strength.

"OW! Scarlet! What the Hell!?!?" He grabbed his forehead and rubbed it tenderly after being flicked by that tiny monster.

"THEY ARE SPIES ROMAN, YOU IDIOT!" Scarlet yelled at him with her hands on her hips.

"BECAUSE THEY ARE MOPPING THE DECK?!?" Roman yelled back in confusion.

"Roman, they have been mopping the same exact spot for the past hour" Scarlet informed him while pinching the bridge of her nose trying to remain patient.

Roman quieted down and tried to remember. THEY HAVE BEEN MOPPING THE SAME SPOT SINCE THIS MORNING!

'I had told them to get back to work, and just thought they were goofing off since they were new'.

Scarlet saw the light bulb finally go off in his head.

Rolling her silver eyes she let out an exasperated sigh, "Has everything I taught you gone down the drain?"

"Shut up, so what should we do?" Roman ignored her harsh question.

"Obviously we need to flush out the trash, but lucky for you I have a plan!" She smiled bright and winked at this stupid brother of hers.

"Well c'mon, don't keep it for yourself! Tell me!" His eyes sparkled with excitement, he always loved working with her, it was much more fun than trying to scheme against this younger sister of his. He always ended up getting hurt when it was the latter.
