Chapter 2
In the darkness alone, Miku was woken up by the sound of waves and the footsteps above her with sunlight shining through cracks between the wooden planks…
Her eyes were blinded by the sunlight and she got up and yawned, "Where…. In.. The.. World… Am.. I?" she said and as soon as she completely woken up,
she recollected her memories and remembered everything. She frowned and felt around her waist wether the Holy Sword was still there or not. "Aw, come on! This couldn't get any worst! The sword is GONE!"
she cried out loud and a few seconds later someone busted through the door and stepped in. "Good morning, Princess. I hope you had a good sleep" said Len who smirked and kept on talking
"This is what you get for kicking me last night! Hahahaha!" He laughed. "…I kind of feel bad for you now…" she said pitifully. "Oh, Shut up!" Len said angrily "Anyways, we're gonna keep you
prisoner for a while, hope you enjoy your stay." He gave off an evil smile. "Hah, with security in this ship, I can go anywhere! Besides, my brother is probably searching for me already!" Miku said.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid you brother is in a troublesome spot there." he said "Troublesome spot…? What do you mean?!" she frowned and got worried "Well, with the king sick and no queen is there, your brother went to
negotiate with your neighbouring country and was about to marry a princess. But with all this trouble, he has to care for the country you see? So he can't make a fuss about your
kidnapping case and needs his wedding to go smoothly.. Well, if he does come for you it means he cares for you but he doesn't, sorry princess.." Len explained. Stunned by this, Miku's face turned pale and stayed quiet for a days in the cell at the bottom of the ship.
A few days later, someone came in. "….Eh.. Princess?" Kaito called. Miku looked up with lifeless eyes and a pale face since she didn't eaten anything for days.
"You should eat.. we can't have a corpse rotting in our ship." he said. "Hah… who cares about me? You guys already have the sword in your possession, why do you need to keep me?"
she said with a ghostly smile. "…I guess you didn't know why your still here, huh?" he said "What do you mean? There's a reason I'm being kept here?" she asked
"The sword can only be wield by only one single person in ten thousand years, and that person right now, is you.." he said and kept on talking "We can't take out the sword out from its sheath either" he explained.
"Why…. why do you need the sword so badly?" she asked. "..Stupid….Why should I tell outsiders, just eat your food already or do I have to feed you?" he said
"I'm not a child!" she pouted and started munching on her food. "And here!" he threw some clothes and a towel at Miku "You don't wanna be a stinky princess here, right?" Kaito gave a thoughtful smile.
"So….?" Miku asked "So, what?" Kaito asked back. "So. Where. Do. I. Shower? Duh!" she asked. "Oh, uh, when you finish your food, go up and turn left. You should see a room there." Kaito answered.
A while later, Miku climbed up the stairs and carefully opened the door and peeked out "Phew… The coast is clear…" she whispered then she found the bathroom and took a quick dip.
She was in a hurry incase someone was going to come in. She pulled up her thigh length socks then she put on her skirt and wore her shirt. She finished off by her vest which had a long tail and frilly edges.
"How did they even get these clothes?… Its kinda cute… I guess" she mumbled. Then she slipped on her boots and tied her hair up in one ponytail with a delicately-laced big ribbon. After that she slipped on
her long gloves. Then she stepped out of the bathroom.
"I see your ready, princess!" Gackpo said and smirked. "…Y-Yeah.." Miku said "Y' better be grateful that I made that outfit for ya!" He said proudly
"Wait… wait… You made this pretty outfit?" she lifted up one brow. "Betcha'!" He laughed proudly "Wow… I didn't expect pirates to sew clothes… Um.." she was hesitant to say something so she looked
down and stood with her hands held together and her feet together awkwardly "Um.. Thank you." She said "Y' welcome! Now, you can't expect to stay on this ship and do nothing!" he said
"Huh? What do you mean?" Miku asked "I mean, you have a list of chores to do like us!" He answered "Chores? Well, its better if I do something at least.." she thought.
"AND, if you EVER try to ESCAPE, there will be consequences…" Gackpo said with scary eyes. "..Escape huh… Nowhere I can really escape to now is there?" she replied
"Betcha' right!" he said with a smile then he handed her a list of chores to do and he ran off.
She rolled open the list and it came rolling out for ten seconds. "…Thats a loooooooot to do…" she was regretting accepting to do chores now. "Well, RESPONSIBILITIES!" then she read the first task.
"1. Go to the kitchen and help out Yohio with lunch and dinner" it said. Then there was a small map drawn to lead her to the kitchen so she started walking there. In the kitchen he saw a blonde man who looked a
bit taller then Gackpo. "Erm.. Excuse me but could you be Yohio?" Miku asked "Hm? Ah, yeah. You must be the princess, well please cut up those vegetables over there in long thin slices please. Ah the apron is on the counter too." He said and went back to his work. Miku went over to the counter, wore the apron and started chopping up the vegetables in jitter mode. A while later Yohio came to her and praised her for helping with the job quickly.
"We finished earlier today cause of you, thanks princess!" He smiled gratefully "No, your welcome" she replied "Well, I should set off to my next task. See you around!" then she walked off.
"2. Help Master Bruno with weaponry" it said. Then she set off as the map told her to. "Excuse me? Are you Master Bruno?" she asked "Yep! Hi princess, now then. Please take those swords in the basket and sharpen them or fix them!"
he said. "Ok.." she replied. Then she took a weird shaped sword and fixed it perfectly and sharpened it. She did the same to the rest and she finished the whole basket. "Woah, I didn't expect a princess to be able
to fix weapons! You did a great job! Well, here keep this with you." He handed Miku a beautiful crafted sword with patterns carved on the blade. "Thank you…" Then she wore it on her back.
By the end of the day she finished all her chores and went back to her cell. "What a day….." she let out a sigh and plopped on the bed and she unconsciously slept through..
