"Wow," (Y/N) whispered to herself as she looked at the town from the deck of the ship.
She was so excited to be in a new town for the very first time in her life.
She watched the people swarm about their busy lives from afar, and she could hear the low mummer of life as people traded.
It made her anxious as it gave her the same sensation when she would watch from her lonely balcony. She just wanted to jump off the ship and swim to town if they did not dock soon.
"Have you ever been to Oldkeep, dear?" An alluring voice asked from behind her.
She turned to see Leopoldo strolling up to her.
His white hair was tied up in a ponytail with a few loose strands falling to frame his feminine features.
Leopoldo was a beautiful man and those who knew a joke that he had the face of a woman and the body of a god.
He wore; a loose white poet shirt- opened at the chest- with a blue sash around the waist, navy blue trousers, and a pair of burgundy boots.
"No, I have never left Taycia." The girl answered honestly turning back to the town.
When Leo looked down at the girl leaning against the banister his heart began to race again, he hated this feeling but at the same time could not get enough.
"It is a very busy town, but also very rough in parts, so stay as close to us as possible," Leo warned.
"Rough?" The girl questioned looking closer at the town.
"Yes, there are many thieves and slave traders looking for new merchandise." He leaned his bum against this railing and crossed his arms. "Not to mention poverty, it makes a lot of people desperate enough to do anything for a means to food."

"Oh," The girl exhaled.
She felt guilty, after all, this was her kingdom. Though she had no say in what happened, these were her people. What am I doing here? I am a coward. Here I am having a good time, but I ran away from them... the people who will one day need me.
A light weight on her head drew her from her self-deprecating thoughts, she looked up to Leo who was patting her dark brown hair.
"We will protect, dear." He smiled softly at her. "Do not worry."
She beamed back up to Leopoldo, "I'll protect you too!" (Y/N) giggled.
But Leopoldo's heart swelled even more as he listened to her words.
Minutes that seemed like hours to (Y/N) passed but they were finally docked and heading down the gangplank.
Kazumi and Leopoldo led, with Ivo and Leven sandwiching (Y/N) between them on the way down, hoping she would not fall off.
They huddled together when they made it to the dock, (Y/N)'s head was turning all different directions to catch glimpses of the different merchandise being imported and exported.
"We will head to the suppliers first," Kazumi began, his black hair glistening under the beating sun.
"The crew will be fixing the small damages on the ship, so we can continue our journey."
(Y/N) thought back to the ship's condition when she finally saw the cleaned aftermath this morning.
The decks looked like cannonballs had been dropped straight through the floor, and many railing posts were missing, and a lot was just easily fixed cosmetic issues.
"After the business is taken care of, we will walk through town," He mumbled before turning on his heel and beginning their errand run.
(Y/N) smiled, assuming Kazumi was thinking of her when he decided to allow them to walk through town.

That was so boring- (Y/N) thought to herself as she stretched her arms when they left the supplier.
She had just been sitting on a stool as Kazumi negotiated back and forth with the clerk, and more so threatened him to get what he wanted.
Leo, Leven, and Ivo were unloading with the rest of the crew the supplies they were trading. Then loading what they were there for.
(Y/N) was relieved that Kazumi 'bargained' for more barrels of water for her ration as well.
Finally, with the lower crew members taking supplies backed to the Scorched Bones, they were making their way through town.
It was indeed extremely crowded, and (Y/N) felt like she was in a feeding frenzy of piranhas as people crowded stalls and shouted deals and offers.
She started to panic; she had never been around so many people before, even palace balls had fewer people than this. She was being ping-ponged between people, as she tried keeping up with pirates who seemed to make a path of their own.
Every step she took, she felt like she was being knocked back two more. Her heart was sinking as she felt like she was losing the pirates in the crowd and when she opened her mouth to call out to them her hand was roughly grabbed. She followed the grip to see Leven, who was looking at her with a stern, and annoyed look.
"Keep up," He simply said, and began to guide her through the crowd.
She gripped his hand back, a ghost of a smile on her face, thankful for the man.
They eventually made it through the thick of the crowd, the three older, taller men were waiting for them in the clearing.
"We thought we lost you two forever." Leopoldo joked. Leven rolled his eyes at his older brother.
"That was a little scary." (Y/N) giggled, taking the hand that was still holding Leven to bring it up to her chest and press it against her heart. "See how fast my heart is beating." She innocently smiled.
Leven, however, turned a bright red as his mind shut down. The three other men shocked into silence at her boldness, and pure jealousy.
When Leven rebooted, he snatched his hand away from her chest.
"W-what are you doing, idiot?" He turned his back to her trying to calm his nerves.
The ex-princess was confused, naïve as ever.
"What's wrong, Leven?"
"You did place his hand on your chest, little dove." Ivo's tone was threatening.
(Y/N) thought of the implication, as Leven kept his face down and the warm feeling growing in him to subside.
"But" (Y/N) looked back to Leven. "Didn't you touch far more than that when we first met?" She joked, laughing.
Leven's nose could have started to bleed from the memory of his pat-down on (Y/N).
"Dear, he is just a bit shy when it comes to women." Leo grabbed (Y/N) by the back of her shoulders and began to lead her away from the flustered Leven.
"Come, come, we have much to see." He laughed, Kazumi and Ivo followed leaving Leven to calm down.
