The Captain's Ransom

10. Shiganshina

"Why did you get me dragged along on this date Captain?" Farlan whispers to me as we stand outside and wait for the Prince to show up.

"Like fucking hell I was going to go alone with him. He wants to mate with me remember!" I hiss through my teeth in my normal voice. "Fucking hell my throat is getting so sore speaking in a higher tone. Not to mention I need some rum to get rid of the nasty alcohol he keeps serving me." I grumble out rubbing my throat slightly, as I look down at the ugly pale yellow dress. "I look hideous."

"The Prince thinks you look beautiful."

"Then he is fucking blind. I am a male, how stupid can he be!" Farlan tries to stop his laugh as I glare at him. "Watch it first mate. I still have my knife on me, I can pull it out at any minute." I warn him in a deadly tone.

"Yah, yah, you do that and ruin this entire mission. Say goodbye to all that gold, the jewels and all those diamonds." My eyes open wide as the greedy pirate in me wants that more than anything. Farlan chuckles knowing he is correct. "You took your pills right?" I glare at him as he sniffs me.

"I did, why can you smell me?" I whisper in worry. If the Prince smells me to be an Omega.

Farlan takes another sniff then shakes his head. "No, you just smell more Beta than usual. Though that could be because you spent all morning sitting beside the Prince at breakfast. He is one of the strongest Alpha's I have ever come across. He beats me as an Alpha by plenty."

"He is." Hearing the sound of horses, I turn around my long black hair whips around me as I see the Prince riding up driving the buggy himself. Already sensing the Alpha in him, I take a step back almost shyly.

Farlan seeing my actions, but remains silent on the matter.

My eyes remain on the Prince, as he pulls the buggy up and gets the horses to come to a stop. His brown hair blows gently in the breeze as he hops down and walks towards us.

"Farlan." He nods to him, then bows down deeply before me causing me to blush shyly. "My beautiful Lady." He holds his hand out for me as I shyly place my smaller one in his.

"M-my.." I clear my throat softly to make it that same softer tone. "My Prince." Thankfully he didn't seem to notice.

"Today Levina." He whispers and pulls my small framed body closer to his. "I wish not to be a Prince, just call me Eren."

I nod my head softly then whisper out shyly. "Eren."

The Prince helps me up onto the buggy, so I am to ride up next to him. "Farlan you will ride in the back."

"Of course your Highness, please do pretend I am not here. I am just here for my Cousin's sake and her shyness. Plus my father would wish she had me accompany her, but do not feel the need to include me in anything. Today is a date for you and my cousin."

I look over my shoulder and shoot a glare at Farlan as the Prince nods. "I am glad you understand how today will work." Suddenly I felt a hand to my face, and I shyly let the glare leave as I looked up to the Prince. I hate to admit it, but even I can't deny how handsome he truly is. I curse at myself for thinking such thoughts. "My Lady. I am going to show you all my Kingdom has to offer."

I nod my head looking off blushing faintly as my hands play with the long black hair. "Eren, did you not say we would have guards with us for protection and safety?"

He laughs and gently turns my gaze to look behind us. I blush shyly seeing the guards on horses ready to follow.

"Do not be scared, my Lady. I will let no harm ever come to you."
