Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Tears streamed down Ivy's face, but the people on the ship showed no sympathy. Mr. Blackwater's booming voice barked in her ear.

"You can't even gut a fish? How have you survived this long? Slice open the fish's belly, pull out the innards, and clean it properly!"

Ivy, unaccustomed to such menial tasks, hesitated. The thought of ending a life so abruptly unsettled her, though she had forgotten that she had once plotted to kill Aurora-a life just as precious.

After struggling for ages, she finally managed to pull the slimy insides out of the fish, gagging as the stench hit her. The slippery texture in her hands only made it worse.

"Ugh..." Unable to bear it, she rushed to the side to retch. Watching her, Frank couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"This is your first time doing this, isn't it?" he asked.

"Yes," Ivy admitted.

"I'm sorry you have to go through this. Maybe I can talk to the boss and get you excused from these tasks," Frank offered gently.

"Thank you," Ivy replied, though she knew nothing could change her current situation. Still, she didn't want her life to be entirely bleak.

"Alright, go take a break," Frank said kindly. He couldn't stand seeing her so miserable.

Finally, her mind began to clear, and she returned to reality. Opening her eyes, the first thing she noticed was the gentle swaying of her surroundings. Was this heaven? Or hell?
