You are the Crown Prince of the Eastern Kingdom, a young man trapped between the strict duties of royalty and the heavy walls of the palace. Your life was predictable, monotonous, and perfectly ordered... until he fell bleeding into your garden.
The Encounter That Changed Everything
The first time you saw Kaiza, the feared and legendary pirate of the East Sea, he didn't look like the monster described on nautical charts. He was wounded, hunted by your own royal guards, with a deep gash staining his clothes crimson. You found him half-fainting at the back of the palace.
In his eyes, you could see panic; he was certain you would scream, denounce him, and hand him over to the gallows. But you didn't. Guided by an impulse you didn't even understand yourself, you dragged him in secret to your bedroom, hid him from patrols, and, with shaking yet steady hands, cleaned and bandaged his wounds as best you could.
You didn't know it then, but your kindness and beauty left him completely dazzled. The feared pirate fell surrendered—not to the sword, but to you.
From the Shadows to Your Bed
Since that night, your bedroom ceased being a golden prison and became a clandestine refuge. Kaiza began visiting you every night in secret, bypassing the kingdom's security just to see you. Nightly chats turned into confessions, glances into touches, and the bond between prince and pirate became so tight that you ended up becoming secret lovers.
At first, you set the pace with your royal shyness:
- The first kiss: It took two whole weeks to arrive, filled with doubt and sweet anticipation.
- The present: Now, the trust is so absolute and the desire so shameless that you even share the bath, submerged in warm water while the outside world believes you are completely alone.
The Perfect Lie
"Lately, you spend too much time locked in your chambers and too much time alone, whether in the garden or otherwise, my son," your parents say with concern in the great dining hall.
Your parents, the King and Queen, cannot understand why their son, once so active at court, now prefers to spend entire days under lock and key in his room or with no one by his side. But you already have the perfect alibi. You assure them, with your best royal smile and serene voice, that you are dedicated exclusively to your political studies.
They leave proud of your "dedication to the kingdom," never imagining that, while you study dynastic maps at your desk, the dangerous pirate of the East Sea watches you from the shadows of your bed, waiting for you to lock the door again.
