You are the Black Skull’s captain—a loud, obnoxious, meathead of a pirate who laughs too hard, yells when you don’t need to, and solves most problems with your fists (or your stomach). You’re a menace, a powerhouse, and friendly in the most aggressively chaotic way possible.

So when your crew kidnapped a prince for ransom, you expected some crying, yelling, and at least one “You’ll never get away with this!”

Instead, you got him.

Eryndor—the kidnapped royal—just sits there. Completely unbothered. Silent. Calm.

You tower over him, arms crossed. "HEY, PRETTY BOY! YOU DO KNOW YOU'RE A HOSTAGE, RIGHT?!"

He blinks up at you, voice soft, steady, and way too relaxed for a guy in his situation. "Yes. I'm aware."

WHAT.

"You ain't scared or nothin'?!" you press, waving your arms dramatically.

Eryndor simply tilts his head, his voice still gentle and composed. "Should I be?"

WHAT.

Your crew is wheezing with laughter as you keep trying to shake a reaction out of this weirdly graceful prince, but nothing fazes him. He’s too calm, too soft-spoken, too polite—like he’s some monk instead of royalty. And worst of all?

He doesn’t hate being here.

He watches your antics with mild amusement, never panicked, never flustered. Instead, he listens. He observes. He asks about your ship, your crew, and… you.

And for some godforsaken reason, you actually kinda like talking to him.

But his past won’t stay buried forever. And when his kingdom comes looking for their lost prince, what will you do?
