NOTE: This is my first story, so please be nice. I'm also not into PrUk, though still a good pairing. But this was a rp that my friend and I did. So I hope you enjoy~!

There once was a pirate's tale, a tale about a king. The King of The Seven Seas. Well respected among all pirates, and is most honored. The king is said to be young, and handsome, but is fearful and merciless. His ship is grand, filled with all kind of riches stolen from many kingdoms. They plunder riches and gold they could find, leaving no trace of evidence there was a kingdom. As like many pirates, he is wanted. But the amount of his head is massive! Twice the amount of all the pirate's head combine, and thrice the amount of gold his ship contains!

Many people have tried hunting the pirate king for centuries. Many have failed, some even saw him! But they couldn't take his head, the heads of the poor men are mailed to their king who they serve, or were they were born. Mothers tell this tale to their children to put them to sleep. But men tell this tale to their friends, in hopes for riches. Princes read the tale from books, and attempt it. Kings only add the amount of the award, and Queens hide behind the castle walls, in fear to meet the Sea King.

"Julchen!" The loud voice of her father screamed her name, following the footsteps of three soldiers. Julchen kept running down the corridors, and down the stairs.

"Were are you!" Her father screamed again.

"Princess!" The soldiers yelled. Julchen went into a room, and locked it. She looked out the window to see if it was safe to jump. She gave a grin.

"Thud! Thud!" The door was banged on, followed by her father's voice which sounded very angry. "Julchen open this door right now!"

Julchen gave a quick look at the window, and back to the door which was giving away. She took a few step back, and once the door burst open. She ran and jumped out the window!

"Julchen!" her father ran to the window, and saw his daughter landed safely on the ground and now was running for it. He gave an irritated yell, and punched the wall.

" Find her and bring her back to the castle!" He ordered the soldiers.

"Yes sir!" The soldiers quickly went to do what they were told.

Julchen ran into the market square, and hid. Making sure no soldiers were following her. Once she was sure there were no soldiers, she took a monk's cloak that was hanging and pulled the hood up to hide her head.

"Kesesese~! That was a close one there!" She laughed, walking out of her hiding place.

"Excuse me there miss, could you please buy some apples?" An old lady asked pulling out an apple. She looked and seemed extremely poor, and she pitied her. So she bought an apple from her and walked around the market square. As she was walking around, she noticed alot of people are gathering around into a crowd. Many were yelling and mocking, not at each other though. There were mocking a pirate.

He was about to be hanged, the rope tied securely around his neck, with no ways of escape. A man gave a signal for silence, when everyone was silent enough, he began to speak.

"This pirate has burned down a house within our borders! He has killed many innocent people! For that he must be hanged!" The man giving the speech yelled and the people cheered.

"But! Before we hang him! Tell us about the Pirate King!" The man continued, the people went silent and listened intently.

"Pirate King? Are you insane? Ha! That's just a tale to scare little rascals to bed! Are you momma's little boy!" The pirate gave out a mocking laugh to the man. The man was offended and hit the pirate.

"Burn in hell." The man told the pirate, and gave the signal to the soldier who cut the rope, and the pirate was hanged.

"Tsk..." Julchen shook her head, and looked around the crowed. She noticed a blonde man, he was very handsome, but had the bushiest eyebrows she has ever seen! He looked irritated, like he just lost something. He was a peasant, probably another hunter, trying to find the 'Sea King". He gave a nod, and left, with four more peasant following him.

Julchen became curious. and wanted to talk to the man, but was stopped by hand holding on her shoulder.

"Your coming with us princess," Julchen didn't need to turn around, already knowing that she was caught by a soldier. She gave a loud sigh, and let the soldier take her back to the castle and to her father.

"Why did you escape?" Her father asked, with a hint of irritation.

"It's obvious! To get away from the damn castle! Also from that stupid-ass ball!" She answered, crossing her arms.

Her father sighed with irritation. "Why don't you want the ball? That is to celebrate your birthday!"

"Becouse it's stupid and it's celebrated in this stupid castle!" Julchen yelled.

"What's wrong about the castle!" Her father yelled back, sitting up from his chair.

"Becouse you lock me up in this stupid castle, and forbid me to go to out! This is stupid!" Julchen stormed out the room, and her father yelled her name, which she ignored.

"Fuck him! I don't care if the stupid ball is for my stupid birthday! Fuck this shit!" She walked down the halls, until she saw her younger brother Ludwig, looking irritated at her.

"What's up Lud!" She smiled.

"Why did you escaped?" He asked, his voice surprisingly calm. Ludwig was very muscular, and taller than her. He also acted more mature than Julchen, most people would mistake him as the older sibling.

"Ugh! I think that's quite obvious!" Julchen answered Lud with an irritated voice.

"You should know this is for your own good!" Ludwig answered back.

"I don't care! I'm always locked up in this stupid castle! While your allowed to leave!"

"Because your immature! You should act more mature sis!" With that Ludwig left, massaging his temples, like he just got a massive headache.

Julchen went back to her room, kicking the door open. She stomped to her bed, and landed face first.

"Sure immature, don't give me that crap!" She turned around so that she is facing the ceiling.

"I'm older than him! I should be also allowed to go out the castle! Stupid!" She covers her face with a pillow, until she heard a knock from the door.

"What!" She yelled.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, princess. But nightfall is almost here, we have already started preparing for the ball, and we are told to prepare your dress." The maid said entering her room. Julchen gave an irritated sigh, and allowed the maid to help her prepare.
