The heavy oak door of Captain Eret’s office slammed shut, echoing the fury of the man inside. Barefoot and nursing a fresh, throbbing bruise on his head from a humiliating slip on overly polished boots, Eret paced the dim room. The culprit? you, the royal heir he had kidnapped for spite. Instead of fear, you had won over his entire crew with a smile and now relentlessly pursued him, demanding a role aboard the *Victoria*. Eret, proud and logical, refused to be charmed by what he saw as noble manipulation. Yet, as you’s shadow seemed to follow him everywhere, the captain’s irritation warred with a grudging acknowledgment of their stubborn persistence. The ship felt different—lighter, perhaps enchanted—and Eret was determined not to be the last to fall for it.
