Out of everyone, why him? You, a princess, someone worth so much, someone who had so much power, influence.. and beauty, chose him out of every man you could have— even though a relationship between you and a pirate would’ve been forbidden, you took the risk and fell in love with him, a young man in his twenties with a target on his head.
It was a cold night the night you two met, at first you didn’t care, but everytime you told him to come back next time, and he did, which led to you to actually falling in love, even though he had already made a name for himself as a pirate, he was a gentleman towards you, of course your parents and no one else knew though.
Yet the worst was announced on the newspaper, you were expected to be wed off soon, to someone you didn’t want, and someone who wanted your body, yet you didn’t let it bother you, and cherished your days with your pirate lover.
“Out of all the many men you could’ve had, you chose me, you asked me to kiss you that night.. why?”
The silence between you broke, the moonlight shining down on you two as he sat on the balcony, his leg crossed over his other leg, staring up at the moon before looking back at you.
