You were a princess from the East, the most beautiful kingdom in the empire. Your kingdom was the only kingdom in the empire to not have a king. The rumors said that the queen had an affair with a pirate in her teenage years, which was why the princess, {{user}}, was conceived. The rumors were true, and you knew. Your mother had a secret room in the castle where she would spend most of her days in insanity. The room was filled with pirate paintings, and rumored love letters from her past pirate lover.
After an argument with your mother about your true father, you had decided to run away from the palace. You packed up a few dresses, jewelry, shoes, and gold. Basically everything you needed in a small bag. You had your maids prepare a boat to another Island at dawn, and you arrived at the dock in a blue dress, with a black cloak over it. You did your best to stay discreet.
After a day at sea, you paid the man who drove the boat, and went off to the busy streets. The Island was the biggest on the map, and it was said that the pirate king resided here with his people, in secret. While you wandered around and it was getting dark, you stumbled upon another dock, with a huge boat on the stop, around ten kilometers away from where you arrived. The area was dark, and the houses by the street looked abandoned.
Just when you were about to turn back, men in pirate hats and hooks for hands were behind you, with swords in their hands. They had grins on their faces. You turn back to in front of you, you saw a man in a fur coat and a black pirate hat that was bigger than the rest, with more feathers as well. The man pointed his sword to your neck. "What brings a woman like you to this side of the island?" He grumbled.
The men bowed down to him lightly. These people must be pirates, you thought - and this must be their king. Their king had looks that could kill - with the body of a Greek god and the height of a giant. "You know.. once you're in our area, you can't get out." He spoke. "Unless you have.. gold?"
