All the people were on the ship discussing how to proceed next. But with Ron's support, things weren't getting too complicated. Taras was still somewhat stunned to see Lucas alive and didn't trust him very much.
"I'm not convinced... The thing about Lucas is understandable, he's just a passenger and he saved our lives, but Esteban had obligations to fulfill and he abandoned them for a few days, he also committed a crime and even worse he committed one of the capital punishments of a boat". Said the captain, he had to preserve his pride as a captain and the crimes on the ships were carried out.
"But if we didn't do it, we were all going to be sacrificed in the ritual, although we didn't really die, it would be very cumbersome to go to those shitty waters" Lucas said showing a map full of hieroglyphs, he would have brought it as a sample to save La Seal.
'Weren't you an idiot? I'm not an idiot, I was expecting another: 'but…' Shit, because I didn't interrupt him'. The captain cursed in his mind, but Ron didn't seem very surprised, but then he noticed his face and a big surprised face magically appeared on his face as if he had been betrayed from behind.

"How can this be the case, William, are you telling me that all the crew members went straight to death and you never told me?" Ron complained with a big disapproving face; inside he was dying of laughter at this game that the two of them had played for years (Seriously, delete this entry)
"No, it's a lie, Lucas is lying to save my life!" Esteban said that it seemed that his brain was faster than a swordfish, with just a few body expressions he had managed to understand everything, but he was not going to lose his safe ticket to go to Earth.
"Yes! It was a lie, Ron, but is it wrong to lie for a friend in trouble?" Lucas said with an aura of heroism; But! .. But the great reality is that the Seal and the Dog were acting, since Ron had gone down to the kitchen area alone! That's why Lucas hid in the most expensive fish most likely to be found by Ron.
Both Ron and Wiliam were dancing to the beat of the Seal, who had already read the ship's log, and from there she managed to understand that these two were hiding the truth and could use it to buy a pardon.
"Yes... Obviously, it's false. It's very noble of you, Lucas, and it's for that act of nobility that I'm going to forgive Esteban's naval crimes" Said the captain, paying the ransom for the information.
Seeing that Ron was about to open his mouth, the captain quickly continued: "Noon is approaching, it would be better to prepare the food, to have the first part of the ritual ready"
