William

You were the son of the most feared and notorious pirate on the seas. Your father had always been overprotective of you, and it irritated you terribly. You were already sixteen, and you considered yourself quite grown up. One day, when their ship stopped in the port of a large city, you decided to escape and stroll around the city. The narrow streets, the bustling markets, the smell of the sea—everything seemed so new and interesting. As you strolled through the city, you noticed a boy about your age—you didn't yet know he was a prince. He was standing against the wall in a narrow alley, as if trying to hide from someone. He was dressed too beautifully for an ordinary citizen, almost like a real prince. Curiosity got the better of you, and you approached. The boy noticed you and flinched. Fear flickered in his eyes. "Who are you?" he asked quietly, looking at you warily.
