Twenty-three:

"Are you sure, Captain?" Niall furrowed his brows. "This could be detrimental to our reputation."

"I'm sure.." Louis looked off at the sea in front of them. "Set the course back to London, immediately.."

"Oookay.." Niall shook his head in surprise. "Whatever you saaay.."

Louis looked over as he saw Harry approaching from behind.

"I've set the coarse for London.." The Pirate announced.

Harry couldn't believe it. First he saved him and now he was taking him home? It was a miracle.

"Thank you." The prince muttered under his breath. "For everything.."

"Yeah.." Louis looked away. "Now you can go back to that no-good king of yours."

Harry didn't know what to say. He just sighed, leaning against the railing of the ship as they sailed back to London.

*Few hours later*

Harry felt the large ship come to a halt as it hit the side of the pavement. He noticed they had stopped at an unfamiliar part of town.

"Where are we?" Harry asked.

"It's a town right outside of London." Louis responded. "It shouldn't be more than an hour walk to the castle.."

"Oh.." The prince looked down.

"I just can't risk being seen by the guards.." The Pirate shrugged. "You'll be fine."

Harry exhaled loudly, turning toward Louis.

"Um. Thanks again.." He mumbled.

"Yeah.." Louis paused. "I gotta say.. I'm kinda gonna miss having a prince on board."

Harry chuckled, looking down at the floor.

"Well.." the Pirate smiled. "I guess I'll see you around.."

"Yeah.." Harry looked up, staring at Louis' beautiful eyes. "Um.."

"Yes?" Louis cocked his head.

The prince paused before asking abruptly. "Can I kiss you?"

Louis' eyes widened. "Now you're asking me?"

"Yes.." Harry leaned his supple lips in a little closer. "Now I'm asking you.."

"Um.." Louis nodded. "Yes.. you can.."

Harry leaned in completely, pressing his lips against the Pirate's.

Louis moaned lightly under his breath.

Louis pulled away, shaking his head. "I can't believe it.."

"What?"

"Remember how I said that your stupid charm and good looks wouldn't work on me?"

The Prince nodded. "Yeah."

"Well.." He shrugged his shoulders. "I guess that was a lie.."

Harry giggled to himself, Louis looked at him with fond.

"Goodbye, your highness." Louis said, opening up the rope on the railing of the ship.

"Goodbye, Sir." Harry crawled through, making his way off the boat.

Louis watched at the Prince walked off into the distance, thinking he would never see the curly-headed beauty ever again.

*An hour later*

"Sir!" Niall came running onto the ship, holding a paper. He had been picking up a few things from town before they left again.

"Yes, Niall? Are we ready to set sail?" Louis asked, looking at the paper in his hand. "What's that?"

"You might want to read this.." Niall handed him the paper. "I found it on the front of the ship."

Louis opened up the paper, his eyes widened as he read it.

'I have your precious Prince, Captain. If you ever wanna see him again, I suggest you give me the 10 million dollars.
-Z.'

"Oh no.." Louis folded up the note. "I-I-can't believe it.."

"What is it, Sir!" Niall shouted.

"Zayn has the Prince.."
