"Ye cannot command him to come." Few crewmates snickered and laughed. Everyone was now enjoying the little girl suffer. They were amazed how easy it was to break her nerve. Even more amazed when her cheeks began to turn red. She had calmly asked one of the bandmate to call the captain but they just ignored her. When she demanded to be heard they started to joke around with her.

"I'm literally tied to a POLE and cannot get up. Do you see me COMPLAINING? I'm the one that should be shouting, not you. "

"Mateys, do ye reckon this here princess be showin' a bit o' sass?" Immediately few bands nodded and watched as the girl glared at the guy who just spoke. He also seemed very old..... well her oldest target ever.

"What's going over here? Why are shouts coming around? " The Gunner checked around to see Angie sending draggers to a fellow crew member. "Princess, ye good? Don't accidently kill our crew with the stare you're sending." He is in it too. She knew it. They all were teasing her. Don't they know she's the younger daughter and always got what she wants at the end?
The Gunner was only trying to lighten up the mood but seeing her face quickly made him realize his mistake.

"Call your captain. We're going to have a conversation. " Mingi was about to speak but before he could the captain himself came out of the cabin and joined them in the deck.

"So, you're finally realizing ye situation. " He had a proud smirk on his face. The navigator and Quartermaster silently joined beside him while others kept quiet knowing the punishment for interrupting him. While others still stayed at the cabin deciding what their next move is. Yeosang kept his eyes on her. She was exactly like what he thought.

The captain was eager to see the girl break down to him like his crew. He wanted her to feel defeated and vulnerable. A little lass like her couldn't bear the immense fire of his. His cold gaze matched with the fiery gaze of her, both equally determined. The crew awaited for what will happen next but whatever they thought definitely went ahead their expectations.

"If we are going to be ally for the quest, then I appeal to be taken care of nicely. I was never prepared to be in this rough surrounding. I request my safety, a pair of clothes, a shower with privacy and some food. " Instead of obeying and fearing the pirates the princess began to list her demands which left others shook.

Before Hoongjung could grab his sword to threaten her, she talked back again. "And in return, you will have my help....to find the heart...of the sea.
I've spend the time, I was imprisoned thinking... and if there's something, I get in return for helping you then... I'll do it. " Her voice was bold and loud. She made sure everyone heard it, everyone in the ship heard it.

The captain let out a chuckle, a dark chuckle. "If that's all you want then-"

"Naurr... I'm expecting to make...the wish... after seeing the heart."She finally finished her words in a very small sound than intended. She gulped, this wasn't a small matter. People familiar about the heart of the sea know...once you see the heart, you get to make a wish before the next sun rises. It could only one wish and it's irreversible.There are limits for the wish but it will fulfil your greatest desire.

The Quartermaster and Boatswain looked at their captiain, the whole people present in the ship came to look at the deck. The man's in the captain cabin also came outside after sensing the unusual silence. The captain smirked while slowly marching up to face her. " If bravery and foolishness had a face, it would be yours. "

He sat down right ahead of her. She felt his eyes lingering to hers. She might have gone a little top far but she tried to hide off her fear with a look of confidence."Seonghwa " He called for his quartermaster to show her his judgement.
