Tedros is walking angrily he slammed the door wide of the throne room wide open facing his father.

he stampede to him” you already decided on my engagement“

”yes” father response

“ yes that’s it “

” yes that’s it we’ve been holding off your engagement for far too long you going to like Princess Sophie “ The father calmly said from his thrown, “she’s beautiful ,graceful ,and a princess. she’s perfect “

“ yeah like all of that worked out well for you” Arthur Angrily glared down at him remembering his poor choice in a wife.

With a sigh he looked at his immature son “Look you are already at a marriageable age if you don’t have a lady you love enough to marry. an arranged marriage is the best one for you at this point “ Tedros looked at the ground “ in the existence of you having a lady you love or an ethical problem with the Royal of Gavaldon I can’t annulment this marriage “.

Without answering his father he left the throne room angrily he walked back all the way to his chamber throwing himself at his bed in defeat thinking of ways to get rid of that princess he didn’t want to marry someone he didn’t have any affection for. and his affection died when his mother left him and he wasn’t definitely going to fall for someone his father chose for him he’s going to fall in love on his own terms or with no one else.

_____________________

days after his altercation with his dad, Tedros had to put on his best outfit for the arrival of the gavaldon Royals.

he seriously did not want to be to here . the arrival of the Royals was a grand parade with the people from his kingdom are cheering and clapping for the arrival of their almost princess, everyone was happy about it except for him.

As Princess Sophie Rose down from her carriage with her beautiful blonde golden locks and her emerald green eyes and a hot pink dress Tedros thought she is beautiful maybe this won’t be so horrible after all.  he had time to think what he said back then.

The greeting of both families went well as well as the lunch meeting and the ball after that accept when it was the time for them to have a little time alone to talk Tedros did not like anything about her.

she was too clingy, too rude and selfish and sometimes right down mean, and honestly other than her face nothing was good about her. nothing at all.

He went to his father’s chamber that night to tell him about it and he didn’t want to go through this marriage and he brushed him off “ I already told you the two conditions of me annulmenting this engagement “.

” but there is no affection between us well she has for me anyways I don’t want to marry her “

“ that’s actually a lot better if there isn’t any affection there won’t be any heart breaks “ he open his chamber door the signal him to get out “you will thank me for this one day”

Tedros Felt defeated and left, he had to find a way to get rid of her that girl is bad news he thought.

___________________

days after their arrival Tedros that it would be a good idea that they go on a cruise Sophie shrieked at the idea that she begged her parents to say yes. they said yes if they would all go together but then Tedros said that it would be just him and his princess ugh,  parents their parents looked at each other with concern but then Arthur stood up and backed up his son “ those lovebirds need their time alone” he said

and so the cruise happened Pedros had to take a few of his people with him, his two Knights Chaddick and Tristan, and the lady Royal that was assigned to Sophie Beatrix, and Sophie’s maid Nicola.

as they sailed away everything went down without a hitch, and after a day of sailing a big storm came and ate their ship whole. leaving those six a lot stranded on a lifeboat. 

and after another day of sailing into the vast sea they spotted a ship and waved at it the ship came closer and led down ropes for them to climb they climbed it happily and on hitting the deck they were welcome with the smirks and evil laughing.

” Well well look at what the sea is spit out ” A woman with a flashy Demon tattoo on her neck approach them “ Who are you princess and princesses i’m just assuming, are you? “

” yes we are I am Prince Tedr-“ 

“ I don’t care who you are stripped down everything you own” tattooed woman said before rudely interrupting him.

” Look at this one’s hair it’s so shiny I think it’s going to give us to get us a pretty penny “ A Weasley boy said When  touching Sophie‘s hair.

Sophie slapped his hand and went to Tedros to protect her. “ this one has almost the same hair maybe both of them can get us a pretty penny “ an albino girl said as touching Beatrix hair, Beatrix did the exact same thing only she ran to Chaddick for protection.

Tedros and his two Knights raise their swords in prepare of a fight and so did the other party.

” now now that’s not a way to treat our guests “ a Voice said from above as they looked up as a figure jumped down from the main mast By a rope and landed perfectly on the main deck.

A tallish girl landed with ebony black hair and a pale skin with a captain hat on her and Tedros was taking back by how weirdly pretty she was. 

“ ahoy and welcome aboard my ship I’m Captain Agatha woods here to help however I can “ she said, Man she’s even beautiful up close snap out of it Tedros you need to go back to Camelot he Thought to himself. “now if you don’t mind and strip down everything you have will be so grateful to you “.

“ what you said you’re here to help us“ Tedros said confused.

” And I am this is payment for boarding my ship” said Agatha 

“ PAYMENTS “ he yelled

” yes payment you have stepped your foot on a pirate ship, and going in a pirate ship means you need to lose everything from heir accessories to dresses to jewellery to swords to shoes to everything as a payment of letting you on board “ she said calmly with a smiling face.

“ you must be joking “

” no I am not “

He Rose his sword to attack her and she pointed her glowing finger at him and froze him, as he struggles to get out of the spell she put on him she comes closer to him and take his sword from his hand he glares at her “ you’re a witch “

” that I am. and I’m also a pirate so that’s has to mean something to you” taking his sword and seeing it she recognise it immediately as Excalibur she takes a good look at him again  “ you’re the Prince of Camelot “ she said

” yes I am “

” hmm , that changes things “ she breaks the spell she put on him and come closer again “ we will happily send you back to Camelot in exchange you give us a ship that is going to be your payment “ she said he was relieved of what she said “ you will not have to take out any jewellery you have on you because I’m assuming their families heirlooms , you however going to have to leave your clothes though, and the family sword is going to be a foreclose item until I get my ship” she spits on her hand and offered to him “agreed?“ 

that was disgusting he thought but then he did the exact same thing and shook her head “agreed”

” Great “ she grinned and told them to take off their clothes and they follow.

upon taking off her clothes Sophie noticed that the captain was glaring at her really hard until she manage enough courage to ask “what the hell are you looking at”

Agatha approached her she grabbed her forearm stared really hard on the birthmark on her “ was that always there? “ she asked

” yes it’s a birthmark always been there “ she said condescendingly

She let go of her arms and walk away until she stops in her tracks and smell something ” Anadil please prove me wrong “ she said.

Anaidil sniff as well and she smelled it “ i’m afraid it is true “

” dammit alright people places there’s a storm coming Raise all sails Hester take care of the Rudder wheel” she looks at her six guests and grabs them all and shove them Down in the hold “ if you’re not going to be of help stay there “ she closed the door at their faces. 

they heard the thunder stampeding feet up above them they’ve been tossing and turning down there trying to hold everything or anything on the way just to keep safe they’ve been at this for an hour until the door opens and the captain offers them a hand to the main deck

” phew the storm finally had passed. here take this “ she handed them buckets and mops “ clean this mess up “

” WAHT “ they said all together

” clean-this-mess-up” she repeated “ you are our slaves until we get you back to Camelot so you’re going to do what every slave do clean “ She waved his sword at him and he complied he had to do whatever she want him to do until they find land or Camelot which ever comes first.

I hope it’s Camelot first and I hope it’s soon he Thought but there was no way he was going to stay in here long enough without doing something he will regret.

Chapter Text

it’s been a week ever since we put pirate ship, we found the land before Camelot but I couldn’t leave because she still has my sword. I tried to take my sword while everyone was asleep I snuck to her cabin and found my sword hanging on a coat rack tried to grab it but it zapped me she  was wide-awake and looking at me grinning apparently she put a spell on my sword that will electrocute anyone who touch it other than her. She sold off all of our clothes and the jewellery she did she took and the swords because they were made of steel she cleaned us out. Even though she let us get off of the ship she still hadn’t completely let us out of her sight. The weird thing is that she didn’t get off of the ship for a moment I thought she was afraid of land  how could someone be afraid of land. And there’s another thing that is much weirder she seems to hate Sophie Way more than me and I thought that I was the only one who hates Sophie.

ever since she’s been on the ship she did nothing but complain complain complain ” this food isn’t good enough for a princess” “this work isn’t for a princess and it made my my nails and skin damaged” “this tunic isn’t suited for a princess and doesn’t match my complexion” “I am a princess” last one seems to be her most favourite line.

The crew and her companion were fed up with her whining So did Agatha. she always looks so calm but not at that moment she really wanted to kill her.

she grabbed Sophie by the tunic and dangled her from the ledge “listen you whiny prissy princess if you don’t shut up with your whining I’m not going to ask you to take the plank I will throw you overboard immediately and I’m a pirate I don’t care about you being a princess I will end you” Sophie looked directly at her eyes and knew she meant it “do you understand”.

she nodded and Agatha let go of her.

The crew looked terrified of her and so did I and apparently for a good reason she was a powerful witch and one strong Captain everyone was afraid of her, and to me she looked really pretty I think I’m starting to fall for her.

A hand grabbed his shoulder “hey” he flinched and what he wrote fell into the ocean “oh I am so sorry is it important. I can get it for you if’s important” Agatha said.

“no it’s okay no one is supposed to read it anyway” Tedros said with ease no one could can read what I wrote

“alright then. why are you still awake”.

”I couldn’t sleep there is something I had to get out of my mind”.

”is it what’s in those papers?”.

”yeah,my dad said you should write what troubles you on a piece of paper read it  it makes it look real and then let it go that’s how you get it out of your mind”.

”that’s a good advice maybe I should try doing that there’s a lot of stuff I want to get out of my mind”.

He was going to ask her what was troubling her and then a Weasley looking boy that tried to touch Sophie‘s hair Approached them “ugh I’m so tired”.

“you’re ok Hort?”.

”No. I’m  exhausted Who is going to take the second shift,”.

”I will”.

“but you are the captain you can’t do that”.

” fine then I’ll let him do it” they both looked at Tedros and he looked over his shoulder to see who they’re talking to “me?”.

”yes and I will be with you for the first few minutes so you won’t get scared”.

”I’m not scared I can do a simple lookout job”.

”okay then let’s go”, they climbed the ratline to the Crow nest, “ hope your not afraid of Heights”.

Tedros was amazed how quiet and clear The sky was he couldn’t see that many stars back at his castle.

“you could easily let all of your troubles goes with the wind that’s what I love most about being a pirate freedom. nobody rejects you for who you are and everybody loves you for that”.

”is that what happened to you?”.

“ that’s what happened to everyone on the ship well everyone except for Hort his dad wanted him, mine not so much”.

”what happened to you? to your parents I mean”.

”they didn’t want me because apparently I was too ugly for them so they throw me into the ocean when I was a baby I remember this because of my magical powers. I was picked up by this pirate crew. this group of ruffians wanted me and particularly by the Crew’s witch she’s the one raised me and taught me everything. my mum”.

“and the same thing happened to the entire crew”.

”more or less Hester was accused of being a Demon because of the Demon tattoo she was born with and then get chased out of the village, and Anadil was also chased out of a village because she only loves to play with rats, and ever since Dot’s father died she’s been wandering around no one wanting her  because she was too fat. and kiko because of her abilities to grow plants was thought of as a witch and the entire village tried to kill her I got there on time and protected her from their swords and convinced her to go to come on the ship with me. and I convinced everyone else because I also know what it’s like to be rejected. All they want was at home and this crew give it to them that’s why we’re so tight”.

Tedros looked a little sad to know that’s what happened to her he was about to say something to comfort her but she cut him off

”so what’s bothering you, what do you want the wind to blow away”.

“my engagement partner”

”princess Sophie why would you ever wanna do that” she said acting dumb he looked at her and they both laughed because they both know way he wants to do that.

”then ask your father for annulment”

”I already did that but he refused me saying that it has to be either I’ve a woman That I love os much I want to marry or an ethical problem on her side of the family”.

“huh. at least he’s taking care of you”

”he doesn’t care about me. so many times I told him I don’t want to marry her but apparently my opinion is not good enough for him. my mother would have been on my side”.

”didn’t she leave you?”.

“what’s that have to do with anything?”.

”it has to do with everything she left you. She left your dad all alone raising you and you’re on her side!?”

“she left my dad not me”

”did she reach out to ask you how have  you been? no, because if she did she would be on your side but she didn’t reach out to you. You’re making it look like it was your dad‘s fault she left”.

”it was his fault”.

”no it wasn’t, it was her fault She fell in love with his best friend his Knight. and then left him and the child they had together for him to raise alone and you’re on her side”

Tedros has mixed feelings of anger, guilt and confusion. all those years and his mother didn’t attempt to make contact with him, Was this really her fault.

”you can’t hate the one parent who stayed. at least someone wanted you, you can’t hate the one who stayed and wants you”

Tedros looked sad now his dad was there for him for everything not his mother he looked at her she still looking at him “you think it’s too late to make things right?”.

”no. it’s never too late to admit you’re wrong”.

”you think he will forgive me for all the horrible things I said to him”.

”he will by the sound of it he sounds like the good one”.

Tedros Thought hard of what she said maybe this won’t be so bad what’s the worst that could happen ”thanks for the therapy session” he managed to get a grin

She chuckled “you’re welcome” they want back staring at the stars and he couldn’t help himself by staring at her the entire time she had a really cute laugh man I’m really falling for her he thought.

they stayed in silence for hours and he always kept stealing glances at her the Third watch shift has begun and they had to come down. he cursed the fact that he had to leave so he followed her to the captain cabin to talk some more.

But when they reached the cabin they started to hear moans from the cabin next door Agatha immediately know what that meant she bangs on door screaming “ HESTER ANADIL I TOLD YOU TO UES THE SOUND SPELL WHEN YOU DO IT”

“are they”

”having sex, yes they are. I gave them a sound spell so they would do it without us having to hear it”

“sorry captain” Hester said from inside

The sound quiet down which means they use the spell. Agatha was relieved that it stopped and invited Tedros in, and they started talking about both of their friends and who they are in love with.

”speaking of love what is going on between Kiko and that redhead Knight of yours, does he like her”.

“Tristan?”

” yeah that’s the one I keep seeing them stealing glances at each other. I think they’re in love” she almost shrieked.

” well if Tristan was in love it will show on his face. his face becomes the colour of his hair”.

” that’s what happened!!. I saw him every time they lock eyes his face turned red so cute adorable ha ha”.

Tedros was hopelessly lost in her laugh that he leaned in, grabbing her gently and landed his lips on hers.

Agatha’s eyes were wide open through the kiss until he broke it. And was met with a shock look on her face, she frantically got up and backed away from him “ what’s wrong“

“I-I think you should go”.

”Agatha”.

”it’s Captain and please leave”.

He saw the The shock afraid look on her face and decided it was best for him to leave”of course. I’m sorry. good night”.

as soon as he left she fall to her knees what was that about. And why did I like it so much, and way I want do it again, am I falling for him ?, this is bad I need to get him to Camelot fast.

Tedros on the other hand was Banging his head to the main mast stupid stupid stupid now she’s going to be careful around you that was weirdly amazing and I wanted to do it again but she is going to be careful around me I need to get myself to Camelot fast.
