We spent last night in gathering information and pinpoint y/n's location. Captain Alex's ship sailed the night before yesterday, so they shouldn't be too far out of reach. 'There's still a chance to save you, y/n.' I thought.
How I missed her beautiful smile, angelic eyes and voice. How I missed our interactions. I don't even know if our relationship will go back to how it was or not. But I know this, I won't rest until she's in my arms.

We were in a ship. Trying to find a ship in the middle of the sea was more harder than expected. We've been out in the sea for about 3 days now. Mihato, I and some royal soldiers were in the boat. My father was back in the castle. Taking care of Theodore and some other royal business. 'I hope that she's still ali-- No! Don't think so negatively Shu! If there's one thing you learnt from her, it'll be find positivity in any negative situation.' I thought, slapping my cheeks.

"Your highness!" After a while a guard came running. "What is it?" I asked. "We've found a ship *pant* that looks exactly like the pirate ship." My eyes widened. I quickly followed him and saw that he was telling the truth. I took a binocular from a nearby guard and saw into the ship. I saw a guy in a pirate dress, sitting in a chair, with a female figure. "We'll attack them now!" Mihato ordered.
When our ship came closer to theirs, the royal guards along with Mihato jumped with their swords. A battle between pirates and royal guards started.
I jumped right in front of the pirates captain, Alex, with my sword in a hand.

What I saw next made me rage with anger. He was standing, holding y/n by the waist. She was completely tied up. 'What did they do to her? I've never seen her looking so pale and tired.' I thought. "Let. Her. Go. Right now!" I screamed. "Mmhh." Y/n squirmed a little. But he held her even tightly. "Oh~~ and why must I do that?~~ She's become my favorite plaything after all~~" he said.
I got even angrier. "If you want her then beat me in a battle." He said smirking. Then he threw y/n over his shoulder. She struggled a little. Then he readied his sword and caught me off guard. Our fight started as our swords clashed with each other. 'There's no way I'm going to lose this battle! This is the battle for y/n's freedom, her happiness. It all depends on this battle!' I thought.

Captain Alex's sword flew. 'I won!' I thought. I pulled y/n with my free hand and he ran away. "Mmhh. Mmhh." She squirmed in fear. "It's me, y/n." I said and she stopped squirming. I untied her. As soon as I untied her hands her legs gave out and she started to fall. But before she could fall I held her. "You ok?" I asked but she didn't answer.
She put her hands in my shirt and squeezed. Then she put her head on my chest and started to cry. She was trembling. She was still scared. I hugged her and rubbed her back to comfort her. "Shh. It's ok. I'm right here. Don't be scared, no one's going to hurt anymore. I'll protect you from anyone who comes to harm you." I said, supporting her weak body. "It's ok to cry. Cry out all your fears. I won't get angry." I said as a tear of relief went down my eye.

After a while everyone on the pirate ship was arrested, including captain Alex and were put in the dungeon. I came down the shop, still holding y/n. I learned from her that she was being drugged daily, so that she couldn't scream too much. That's why she's so weak and feeling dizzy.
As I came down, Mihato pulled y/n from my hands and hugged her. He started crying. "Thank goodness you're ok!! I became really worried when I found out that you'd been sold to a group of pirates. That jerk, Theodore!" He said. "Wh-who are y-you?" She said, weakly. "I'm... I'm...... I'm your father." He said. "Fa..ther?" She said as he nodded. "You're re..ally my.... father?" She asked as tears started forming in her eyes. He nodded yes, again. Y/n hugged him back and started to cry again. But this time they weren't tears of sadness, instead they were the tears of happiness.
" I *sniff* I tho- *sniff* thought you *sniff* You were *sniff* dead. Mom *sniff* to- *sniff* told me you *sniff* you *sniff* died." She said, while crying. "She didn't know I was still alive. And I couldn't come an visit you guys cause it would've been dangerous." He said, holding back his tears. "Mo- *sniff* mom would've *sniff* been really *sniff* happy to *sniff* see you." She said. "I think she already is y/n. I think she already is." He said as y/n looked at him. "We got reunited and you're not an orphan anymore. What could bring a mother more happiness than seeing her child truly be happy." He asked as he smiled.
Seeing them interact made me cry as well. I turned around, so that they wouldn't see my face, and started to wipe my tears. 'I'm happy for her. Now she has a father for a family.' I thought as I turned around to them and smiled.

After that we came back to the castle. Y/n was being treated by the castle doctor and I visited her everyday. My father took back the crown, and became our king again. And Mihato took back his rightful place as the minister and advisor.
As for me I was having one of the biggest thoughts I've ever had.

'Should I address Mihato as Mihato or Mr. Akane?'
