"I reckon ye only be mad at me," he started, his eyes closing shut like he knew the prince would bring him no harm. " 'Cause ye 'ave no freedom in yer own life." A simple sentence was all it was really, words compiled together to form a meaning. Sometimes such meanings were in fact meaningless, they held no truth and were only spoken for the sake of aggravation. Though in even rarer times, there was truth rooted in the very ground of the meaning and that was what caused the aggravation. But what would a pirate know? Or: Royal prince Seonghwa who is first in line for the throne, finally meets the recently captured and most feared pirate in all the Seven Seas who has been condemned to death. Every year on the feast on the Ceremony of the Golden Rose, the crown prince is to take a rose dipped in gold to present to one special prisoner as a gift of freedom and a new start at life. This year is like no other, besides the fact that the great pirate king who infuriates Seonghwa to no end might end up shedding a new kind of light on the young and very adventurous prince, changing his views altogether.

As Park Seonghwa enters his third year of college, he starts getting weird dreams. In his visions, he sees flashes of red hair and fairy dust. He always thought of the dreams as nothing more than passing visions, his subconscious's attempt at sending him some obscure message. But, then, why do those dreams feel so real? ⚝

The pirate fisted a hand in the naval soldier's hair to yank his head back. Full of hatred, those cold and steely eyes stared up at Hongjoong defiantly. The captain's lips pulled into a smile as he brought the tip of his sword to the man's exposed neck. His throat bobbed against the gleaming blade as he swallowed nervously. "This be the one ye wanted?" "Aye," Hongjoong purred, his eyes gleaming "this be the one. Welcome aboard me ship, Commander Park."

Hongjoong owed Yeosang a favour. Yeosang abused said favour by dressing up Hongjoong as a woman to accompany the arrogant Earl of Huntingdon to his evening soirées as his temporary fiancée. Yeosang failed to mention to the earl that under his pretty dresses, Hongjoong had the furious core of a man.

Now, there is a boy with two pairs of horns and leathery wings standing in front of Seonghwa, and he demands his tribute.

And as if all of that was not already bad enough the android assigned to him is not sweet KYS 17 with whom he usually worked. It was PSH 22, notorious for being an annoying tin box. And he did not even have an stop button.
