Y/N POV
I breathe out, staring at my folded hands on my lap. Today is the day.
My personal maid, Lydia was on her knee fixing my wedding gown. While the other maids my brother sent from our palace were organising my things I brought in 6 bags.
Nervousness trembling in my body. The very little breakfast I ate churned in my throat. I breathe in and out. Repeat and repeat again.
"My Princess, it's natural to feel nervous in your wedding day" Lydia said, gently wiping my face with a handkerchief.
I smiled at her. I don't have the energy to speak right now regarding my less than 2 hours sleep.
No, it's not because of sadness. I was overwhelmed by the feeling that I would marry the King, whom I have absolutely adored for 8 years.
I felt like the luckiest woman in the world. Any woman would kill to be married to the King, whose handsomeness is described as one of the the God's.
"You will be my Queen. We will rule together. You and me"
His words echoed in my head, I smiled like an idiot.
Just an inch away from my bethrothal to His Majesty. Hongjoong, my bestfriend and my husband, my King.
I was brought back to reality when our Carriage started shaking aggressively. Commotion came from outside.
"What happen? " I shouted, one of the maid peeked through the curtain of the carriage.
When she turned back to me, her eyes were filled with fear.
"We've been ambushed by pirates" her voice shaking.
But all the evil pirates had been banished by the late King, Hongjoong's father. Then, who could these people be?
The others became stiffed and trembled. I went near the window and took a peek.
The royal guards and the pirates were in a bloody combat using swords. I could saw that most of the guards had been taken down. 4 men guarded our carriage and I saw one of the guard fleeing on a horse, probably to tell His Majesty about the attack.
I consoled my maids by saying, "Nothing will happen to us, These are His Majesty's guards, the best ones he sent. He won't let anything happen".
I also pray silently for the royal guards to win and continue our ride. If not, then His Majesty will come himself and get us out of here.
My heart was beating fast as possible. I'm not gonna die here, I'm sure of it.
The carriage door was suddenly pulled opened, my maids scream their lungs out as I was startled, widening my eyes. My breath becomes hard.
The sunlight hit my eyes. A man stand in the door, the sunlight reflection hiding his face. He throw something on the floor of the carriage.
I gathered a courage and spoke, "Let us go right now or His Majesty will-" a smoke filled the carriage carrying an indescribable smell which make me dizzy. My maids collapsed.
"His Majesty will-" I spoke again but my dizziness messed up my head, I slowly close my eyes and collapsed.
"We got her, boys"a rough male voice was the last thing I heard as darkness fully filled me.
°°°°°°°°°°
My head hurts sooo bad. I tried my best to open my eyes and after a few attempts, I can finally open them.The room was filled with smell of rice, wheat and other not very good smell.
I looked around my surroundings to found that many brown sacks had been stored in this room.
I massaged my temple and slowly rise up from the ground. My wedding gown had been tattered and dirt was all over it. I brush off some of it with my hands.
A light reflect inside the room from the hole on the wall which was about 3 feet above me.
I looked to the door and slowly went forward. It look so shabby ,so maybe I can open it, but no it was hard as an iron door, my arms hurts from trying.
I turned my head to the hole on the wall, few sacks were under it. I pulled one of the sack towards the wall. It's heavier than I expected.
I put the sack upon the already lying sack. Then after 3 sacks later, I climb on it to take a peek.
One man was sitting in a chair in front of a table, his legs crossed on the table. He held a beer in his rough looking hands. When I can finally saw his face, patch in his left eye and scars around his face. Pirate.
I suddenly slipped and lost balance. I fell on the ground with a loud thud.
I heard a sound of stomping towards the room. It's probably that pirate.God,help me.
The door was violently pulled open. That very scary looking pirate stepped inside with a scowl on his face.
He turned to me and I frozed.
I don't want to die.
He slowly walk towards me while I crawled backwards. When I hit the wall with my back, I covered my face with my hands and spoke, "Please don't hurt me" in a trembling voice.
"I see the Princess had waken up" a familiar voice said. I put my hands down and saw the pirate turning his back to me, I looked towards the door.
There stood a man with a smirk. He wore a tricorn hat and a dark red coat which looks so old despite his young-looking face.
I remember. It's the guy who captured me in the carriage.
"You can go, Adgar. I'll handle her" he said looking me in the eye. I gulped hard.
The grumpy man went out of the room passing the guy who walked towards me.
"Who are you? Where is Lydia and the other ladies" I asked, strengthening myself.
He kneeled in front of me and hardly grabbed my chin, making me look in his eyes. Dark grey eyes that held no emotion.
"Remember" he said in deep, gruffy voice that sent shivers in my whole body. Then he continue, "You are not a Princess here. You will not command me" he let go of my chin with a push.
Tears welled up in my eyes, "Whatever you want, His Majesty, my fiance can give you. Please let me go" my voice came out raspy and barely audible.
He scoffed, then stand. I look up at his face. The smirk returned in his face. "I'm sure His Majesty will be so worried right now as his most valuable item had been stolen from him" he chuckled and left.
I heard the loud and hasty sound of the door been locked.
I closed my eyes, tears unstoppably fell.
I tried my best to think in a positive way as I always did. But that's a huge fail regarding my situation right now.
My body was drenched in tears and sweat. I hugged my knees and cried my heart out.
Will I able to get out from here? Will Hongjoong find me? What if they kill me?
