Chapter 11 Summary

Elian wakes up in his room following the siren attack. King Radames is angry that the sea wardens didn’t do more to protect Elian and failed to spot the siren before she attacked. Elian assures his father that the wardens wouldn’t have known what to look for. He vows to make the siren pay for what she’s done and goes to find his crew. Later, Elian gathers his crew on the deck of the Saad and tells them about the Crystal of Keto—specifically, that he plans to find it and use it to kill the Sea Queen. He explains that the mission to find it will be dangerous and gives most of the crew the option to sit this adventure out. However, most of his crew enthusiastically agrees to join him.

Chapter 12 Summary

Elian goes to the Golden Goose to talk to Sakura in private. They share a drink, and Sakura’s lipstick comes off on the glass. With her dark lipstick gone, Elian can see the blue of her lips, confirming what he’d assumed: that she is the missing Princess Yukiko of Págos. She asks him what it is that he wants, and he invites her to come with him to Págos to help him find the Crystal of Keto.
