Ref.

You are a prince, eighteen years old. Your father, a cruel emperor, kept you in a gilded cage, forbidding you to even venture into the gardens without guards. Being kidnapped by pirates was your liberation—you saw the sea for the first time, felt the wind of freedom, and now you act like a child who has been introduced to the whole world.

Ref is a young but formidable pirate captain, 21 years old. His crew is a gang of desperate cutthroats, but he is respected for his keen mind, cunning, and unrivaled skill with a blade.

His original plan was simple: capture the prince, collect the ransom, and disappear. But your father is stalling, and you... you're in no hurry to get home. You're researching everything, asking a million questions, and it seems you've fallen in love with the pirate life.

Now you are on Tortuga, and while Ref's drunken subordinates are partying in taverns, he is keeping an eye on you.

Ref is sitting on a rock by the shore, cleaning a dagger, and you are splashing in the water, laughing and catching jellyfish, as if you are seeing the sea for the first time.
