"your highness it's time for your scheduled tea time with your fiance" a maid no older than 20 said bowing down, "yes tell him I will be down soon" the Nobel woman said having her other servants help out with her clothes and hair.
Downstairs in the luxuries living room was duke Fredrik wasser was talking to Count L/N about wedding arrangment, "We promise you she is very pretty and wouldn't throw a fit about anything" Mr.L/N said rubbing his hands together his wife jumping in "and is a great house madam managing budgets and staff since she was 12!" Mrs.L/N told the potentian suiter, "I see" fredrik was familiar with this and knew not to trust the parents opinion since they will gloss up their kid.
"I salut Duke Fredrik wasser" he heard the door opening and the.....voice of an angel? Her parents weren't lying about one thing at least, "and you must be my bride to be? Doll face?" Fredrick stepped closer examening her bow and eteqite before taking her hand and kissing the back of it.
"It's a wedding!" Seemingly satisfied with his bride the parents and new fianceè shoo Y/N out of the room to decide the wedding and the money, Y/N happy that this went according to plan decided to go out with her maid and have some fun on the port.
"Isn't this beutifull martha?" Asked Y/N while strooling close to the port, "indeed your highness, but if you don't mind me intruding-"the maid wanting to question her lady's choice in accepting the marrige with a man she met for less than a minute got inturupted, "look! Martha new commers! Let's go say hi!" With a childish joy Y/N grabbed her maids hand and lead her to the small ship where they found two men, the first wearing a straw hat and the other reaking of alchool, the maid understandebly was worried of their identity, "my lady this is a bad idea" warned the maid but the lady ignored the warning walking up close in her heavy dress, "h-Hello there! My name is Y/N L/N and this is my friend martha, you must be new here!"said the young lady, "that's true! My name is Roger and this is my first mate Raylight!" The man in the straw hat intruduced himself getting on the port to give her a hand shake, the woman confused looked at her maid, "Martha why is he giving me his hand?" She whispered, "My lady that's a hand shake give him your right hand" whispered the maid back.
With excitment the woman shook his hand before looming at martha for confirmation nodding slightly, Y/N turned back to Roger, "so you guys are a crew? Where is the main boat? Since this is small", "bahaha! You must be curious, huh?" Asked roger, "If you wish you can tell me over lunch! My treat" invited the young noble.
"......And then Raylight attacked it with his sword killing it instantly!" Roger retold the story while eating his meal, "That's amazing! Sir Raylight that's incralable of you!" Complimented Y/N eating a small bowl of salad with a cup of tea while her maid helped herself to a fatty meal; "is that all your going to eat?" Asked Raylight, "oh! Please don't mind me, I need to watch my weight for my up-coming weding"she said it as if it was normal but her maid looked a bit upset by her lady's hunger strike, "my it seems you two love each other, huh?" Pointed Raylight sarcasticly, "Love? It's meerly political like an ass like him could Lov-", "-Martha, no it's beneficial to every one in this town" seemingly forgetting that they had guests the woman in question continued "so becoming a trophy wife to that assholes is also benefiting the tow-", before she finishes that sentence Y/N stand up turning to her guests, "I apologize for this ungodly appearance, please consider your food and shelter paid for, Martha take them to ST.moubt hotel" and with that she leaves.
Guiding the two towards the hotel Martha began regretting her words, "do you think I went too far?" deciding to ask the new fellas she went ahead "you'you've seen her! She doesn't even know what a 'hand shake' is and she wants to throw her life away so is pesky peasant can have lesser taxes!", Raylight feeling like this is none of their business but Roger felt otherwise, "sorry, but here use this to pay for the hotel and food" giving them a silver bendit with a flying bird on it she waved goodbye and left.
"your awfully quite today captain" drinking and looking out the window Raylight turned to his third bottle, "I can't let that happen" said Roger sitting on his bed, "you can't just let your life be thrown away like that" gripping his hand tightly he looked at his first mate, "you plan on objecting in the alter or what?" knowing he won't back down he chimed in, "no, running away sounds better" with saying that Raylight looked puzzled but won't get an answer till the morning after.
In another part of town a maid is knocking on her lady's door with a cup of tea, "My lady can I come in?" asked the maid, "Martha you know your always welcomed" chuckling she went in finding her friend looking at her mother's music box, "Y/N are you okay?" sitting down and pouring the hot beverage she answered "of course why won't I be?" she answered while taking the cup and smelling it, "well you only take out mom's music box when your sad", "Nana would've known what to do in this situation" though shaking a bit she sipped her tea, "and probably scolded me for my public outburst" said the maid with a smirk, looking at each other and bursting out laughing the two shared a moment of tranquility, "my lady you ought to run away" getting the subject serious again, "Martha, no I can't leave you or anyone here or else..." again her voice shatered and seemingly flooding with past memories her friend spoke again "what happened to mom won't happen to me" trying to comfort her shaken friend she continued, "Don't you want to see the sea again?" And with that Y/N finally broke down into tears.
The next morning Y/N decided to take a walk outside to check up on her guests and think about what martha said, "Roger good morning! How was the stay?" Seeing him in front of the hotel she waved at him, "well that thing you gave us worked like a charm!"he said enthusiacly, silent fell on them again, "why did you become a pirate?" She asked avoiding eye contact with him, Roger though puzeled answered with one of his famous grins "I want to turn the world upside down!" He said with a hart filled laugh; Raylight came out to see what's going on, "Roger please let me join your crew! Let me go live in the sea with you!" She yelled finally letting out what she belives the riskiest and propably the dumbist thing she did but roger only looked at her brifly before laughing out loud, "Sure I don't see why not" Roger agreed but Raylight seemed hesitant, but he can't defy Roger when he get's like this, celebrating this news she couldn't wait to tell martha the news......only if her parent's don't find out.
Sitting in her office she was thinking about what to do for this adventure, 'with my jewlery and saved up money I can help out with supplies, plus I can manage the finances, but I need to tell martha first and say goodbuy to Nana's husband, plus pack some clothes' she was excited day dreaming about similar adventures to the ones she heard, until, SLAM! her father barged in "you ungratful whore! Who was that man!" Yelled her father as her mother closed the door, "Father wha-" she tried to understand what's happening, "Not another word, you think this is a game? Go and hang around that ugly man? How could you do this to your father! Look at your poor mother" he started berating her before pointing at her crying mother, usualy she would cave in but not this time, "so how could this father sell his daughter out because he can't close his wallet to anyone!" She snapped back at a price.
The sound of a loud thud and glass breaking was the last thing the pirate to be heard before losing concesnous.
Someone came in...who is it? "My lady! Your awake!" Screamed the maid hugging her close, but the lady had other things in mind, "the wedding it's tomorrow! What do we do!" Letting out the grim reality expecting her to react in some way, but she remaind calm, "Martha it's time to crash a wedding".
(Wow your still here DAMN you found this intresting enough to read till here, I am honored, here have a GIF as a gift)
Running to the churche where the wedding was being held felt Roger a rage he hadn't felt in a while, Raylight was preparing the small ship to leave while he had the task of getting the new member back.
'Where is he!' She thought standing in front of her soon to be husband, "I OBJECT!!" yelled Roger as he slamed the door open, loud gasps filled the room as well as more guards, "you came!" She said some tears at the corner of her eyes still holding the bouquet she ran towards him but was stoped by her fiancee. (A fight scene Roger beating the shit out of the guards and scaring the fiancee enough for him to let go of Y/N)
Running in a torn apart wedding dress being chased by her parents and guards was never a thing not even in her wildest dreams but here she is clutching the music box previously held in her bouquet towards the boat, "GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANCE!" Was among the many lines that drowned by the sound of laughter among Y/N and Roger, waving goodbuy to the chef and Martha she ched a few tears as before looking forward towards a brighter future.
Anticipating a reaction all there is was two faces full of disappointment, "that's it?" Said shanks, "this is lame, I thought you'd do something cool!" Added buggy, "well I told you the music box and how I joind this crew were not exiting stories" she shook her shoulders before standing up from the cafe table and starting to walk away, "so who was the chef anyway?" Asked shanks, "Nana's husband, he would sneak me snacks through Martha sometimes"........ though this seemed like a ditante memory now her joyfull rant's and their teasing was something he didn't expect to miss yet here he is drinking it away..........~~~~
