Forbidden love

Setting sail

Hook, that was someone I'd heard of but the way they described him was ruthless and could kill a person if he wanted to. I looked at the man Analise said was Hook and he was very handsome. I couldn't resist being swoon by his charm even if he was a pirate. Analise on the other hand didn't like what was going on and snapped her fingers in front of me which made me blink.

"Come to your senses Amira, he could take you for ransom against your father." Analise warned
"I think you're judging a bit too soon and if he wanted to kidnap he could have already done that." I said

Analise noticed I had a good point when it came down to the truth of my protector here. He'd saved me from that prince who I was more than eager to avoid. Having a handsome stranger by my side during this masquerade party didn't look like a bad idea. Analise could tell there was no talking me out of this. My mind was made up and I would spend the night talking with Hook.

I walked back over seeing Derek had talked with Killian while I was talking with Analise and he noticed me. Derek gave a bow gesture to me and I was glad he didn't seem to have any objections at this time. Killian offered his hand to me and I took it without having a second thought.

"Care to dance princess?" Killian asked
"I'd love to." I said

Killian took me out to the dance floor where I could just relax now that I had a way to keep Prince Nicholas was away from me. Dancing was easy it was just a simple waltz and as I danced with him I looked past his shoulder seeing my sister dancing with father. Our eyes met and she realized I had chose to go bold tonight getting someones attention.

When I looked at Killian I wasn't sure what to say as our dance soon came to an end and we walked over where I got more punch. Father came over finally noticing his beloved 2nd daughter as I was having some punch.

"Amira." King Leopold said
"Hello Father." Amira said

"Who are you hanging around tonight?" King Leopold asked
"Killian Jones, your highness." Killian said, "Your daughter seems to be quite the dancer."

"Yes, she's very talented." King Leopold said
"Father, Mr. Jones travels on the sea. You said when I was old enough you'd take me sailing but you haven't done that." Amira said

Father did not reply to my words and I knew the truth he would never let me really sail the sea as I wished to do. I was looking down in defeat when I heard Killian clear his throat. I looked up and I noticed even father looked at him while he was having our attention.

"Pardon me, your highness. If you'd allow me the chance, I would be honored to take your daughter on the sea and show her the world she wishes to see." Killian said

My mind reeled with what he just did cause I knew who he was, a pirate so what did a pirate want with a princess who wanted to see the world. My father, King Leopold didn't know who he was but he looked at me knowing he was the one who said I could go. I decided to be bold for once and looked at father since this was my only chance.

"Father you want the happiness of all the kingdom. Well, as your daughter I am not happy right now. You promised I could sail and see the world beyond horse traveling." Amira said

Father realized I was speaking my mind for the first time which was new to even me. I didn't speak up but then I knew Hook could teach me quite a bit on how to survive on my own. Pirates had a reputation and I saw that he was hesitant. Analise suddenly showed up beside me and bowed to father which then I saw he had an idea.

"I will allow my daughter to go with you, but Analise must go with her." King Leopold said

My mouth nearly dropped open at my father's words that I almost didn't think I heard him right. He was truly going to let me go without a fight as long as Analise went with me. It seemed to be a mutual agreement cause I saw Killian shake hands with my father.
