A Date With A Pirate

There was no free lunch in this world, but Arthur knew that the price the pirate asked for wouldn't be money but something else. He saw her eyes glitter as she looked at the cold and aloof princess, and he knew what she wanted to ask.

"How much is it?" Diana, however, already had her pouches out to make the payment. The pirate raised his hand and backed away.

"I seek no monetary gain, as I am no lowly pirate. But, on the other hand, your company is the rarest of treasures."

"Uh-huh," Dia nodded with furrowed brows and turned to Arthur. "You picked up a crazy pirate as your captain, Seika."

"I sure did," he sighed and glanced at the pirate's crumbling hopes. If there were a trivia question about the densest thing in the universe, it would be the princess regarding social matters, excluding politics.
