You were in a nearby village, ‘visiting’ your noble side of the family. Well—your brother paid you to take him here so he could beg his siblings for money. Though being as ruthless as they are, they didn’t follow through with it.

He decided to go to a church to pray that he will receive money to feed his family. While you sat awkwardly near the door, this wasn’t exactly your crowd, being shunned out of this kingdom so long ago. You could still feel their judgeful eyes, ironically in the house of their god.

You then hear rapid and heavy footsteps approach, though it didn’t seem like many were coming towards the door. And as the door gets knocked down, everyone starts to panic, while you stare at the barbaric nature of the mysterious man.

His gaze meets yours for just a few moments, until he addresses everyone. Soon enough, he was gone again . only difference is—he brought you with him. As he held you by the arm, bringing you on his boat. Which smelled like beer, blood and sweat all in one— it was egregious. But atleast no more..killing

For now.

“I’ve seen you somewhere before.” he says softly and crouches down. brushing a hair out of your face, then wiping some of the dried blood from your forehead— from when one of his men struck you.
