Once all three men had listened to her plan and then argued against it Cole more violently then Ashe had expected. They eventually agreed it was the best option and that Dev would be risking her life for her new found friend. She rushed away to change calling them to contact her when they reached communication distance
When she re-entered the room all three men stared agape at the transformation none of them had seen Dev in anything other than grubby overalls in many years and in that time they realised that Dev had changed form a stringy looking girl to a fem-fatal. She chuckled nervously showing off the dress she had borrowed from Dahlias chests. She was obviously larger busted then the princess as her breasts where pushed up and out nearly spilling out of the corset her skirts where full and hid Devs favourite gadgets as well as her pistols and zapping machine. Cole stood "My god Dev your beautiful" he murmured walking to clasp her hand she chuckled
"Cole you keep your impure thoughts to yourself, your not ready for me yet" she whispered cryptically at Coles bemused look she explained "Im waiting till you have finished sowing your wild oats before I let you in" she smiled as Freddie chuckled "She's goanna try to tame the wild man" Cole still looked confused "Didn't realise it bothered you Dev, I can stop if it does " Dev shook her head "Its not the time for this, send the communication"
Dahlia sat strapped to a velvet covered chair they had resorted to tying her down after she had managed to tear a man's eye out "Hell cap" the vile man who tied her down had managed to cop a feel at the same time "She fights like a wild cat, didn't think a royal would know how to fight dirty" Dahlia examined her now bloody fingernails
"How did you know I was aboard that ship" she asked furious that they had managed to grab her and run so efficiently.
Captain Murdstone Hudson lent forward smiling at her "I have my contacts my beautiful woman, and now I shall become a king " he crowed obviously pleased with his latest conquest
Dalia paled "Not likely, I will renounce any marriage forced on me as soon as we arrive at Aesullo"
"You won't be able to if its consummated"
Dahlia eyed him, he was tall and fairly hansom even tho his jet black hair hung in long clumps from his head. She laughed in his face "Even if you rape me I will not willingly say I do in the present of any one able to sanction such a marriage"
"That's where your wrong your highness" he called over his shoulder "bring her in"
Dahlia gasped as they dragged in a sobbing Lacey. The girl had been struck across the face and her lip bled "I'm sorry" she sobbed.
To the Captain she screeched "You said you loved me, that we would get married" she broke down into heart broken sobs
"Oh Lacey you silly girl" Dahlia muttered knowing she must of been the one to tell the pirate. The captain sneered and planted his boot into Laceys side "Stupid bitch don't you know never trust a pirate" the rest of his crew jeered enjoying the show "I have much bigger plans" he turned back to Dahlia "Now you will say I Do to save the life of your poor misguided companion won't you" he laughed at Laceys state of horror. Just then another crew member ran in off the bridge
"Captain the trade vessel we retrieved the princess from has begun to follow at top speed they sent communication requesting that the companion of the princess be dropped on board as well, as she is beside herself and wants to willingly place herself at the hands of us despicable pirates to be near her beloved princess". Dahlia drew in a shocked breath what was Dev up to. The captain sneered
"But we have the companion, so tell them if they do not about face and leave I will have them blown out the air" Thinking fast Dahlia spoke up
"Actually she is my companion my most loyal and trusted friend" taking a deep calming breath she added glancing at the poor ruined Lacey "and she will be a mess without me"
