Two Worlds.

2.

Julian walked into the room, seeing three men on their knees in front of the throne. Guards standing behind and around them and Julian instantly recognized the men when he looked closer. 

The one with shoulder length brown hair was Adrien Harley. Ship Captain and had been wanted for piracy since he was a young man. 

The one with fluffy brown hair and sharp features was Sherlock Doyle. Adrien's right hand man and was a rather cunning and crafty man. 

The final man had long black hair, he kept his head down but from his tattoos Julian could recognize Christopher Cerulli. Not a part of Adrien's crew but a rather close friend and another pirate captain. 

"Hello gentlemen" Julian said which made the three men snicker, Julian raised an eyebrow, "Something funny?" 

"Surely you know we are anything but gentlemen" Adrien spoke and Lorcan came in just at that moment, 

"Yes but that does not mean we cannot be polite to you three, pirates or not everyone is deserving of at least a sliver of politeness" The french king said which just seemed to amuse the three men sooner. 

"Well you all know the punishment for piracy" Julian said, "Unfortunately gentlemen you will be hanged until dead" 

"Of course" Sherlock said, "tell us your majesty, will we suffocate or will you be merciful and break our necks?" 

Julian went red and gestured for the guards to take the pirates away, Paul walking in and looking at the pirates in interest. Chris raised his head and winked at Paul much to the German kings embarrassment.  

The three pirates were lead off by the guards, Lorcan looking at Julian, 

"Shame they're pirates" 

"What do you mean?" 

"Well...they are handsome men" Lorcan said before heading in the direction of the kitchens. Julian sighed and looked at Paul who shrugged. 

And that's where the story should have ended.
