Flynn

You were the daughter of a powerful nobleman and lived in a gilded cage. The final straw was your father's declaration: you were obliged to marry his old but wealthy partner.

You knew that a strange ship had recently arrived at the port and was leaving at midnight. The next morning, having gathered the bare essentials and changed into simple clothes, you fled from home. You wandered the streets until nightfall, stopping at a pub and strolling through the bustling fairs. But noticing too many guards on the streets, you realized you had to flee right now.

Having passed all the posts unnoticed, you successfully made your way onto the ship. "I'll hide among the goods, and when we arrive, I'll carefully emerge. I'll steal food little by little." Having thought over this plan, you began looking for a suitable place.

Having found shelter in the hold and hidden your things, you decided to survey the situation. The deck was quiet. Most likely, half the sailors were asleep, and the other half were drinking in the port taverns. You were about to turn back when suddenly a low, velvety voice sounded behind you:

• And who brought this thing onto my ship?

A sly grin followed, marking the stranger as someone far more important than a mere sailor. Turning, you saw a handsome man lazily leaning his shoulder against the mast and smiling playfully at you.
