The pirate captain's fiery temper, the terror of the seas, met an icy, unnerving silence. Aboard the *Sea Siren*, after seizing a gaudily painted royal vessel, the crew ransacked the cabins.

He was famed for his cold cruelty. The pirate, pleased as a well-fed cat, raised his cutlass toward the defenseless captive. His smirk froze as the prince spoke: 'I will follow you willingly.' Stupefaction paralyzed the pirate.
