The Charm of the Pirate

Testamentary

Royal Palace, March 1500.

The sky is still very dark in Roseland. Everyone was still sleeping with their blankets. There is hardly any activity at this time. However, Marquess Jasper had already left the Mansion early in the morning. Ron drove him by horse-drawn carriage, they were going to the Royal Palace.

"Do you know when my daughter is getting married?"

"I only know that Miss will get married in the spring" Mr."

"It's spring soon, Ron."

"Be, right sir."

"Sofia hasn't been home for a long time..."

"I miss him.." Marquess Jasper clasped a letter in her hand.

"Miss has found her happiness, sir."

"Yes, of course I know."

"He really can't get away from that guy."

HUH!

Ron simply smiled listening to his master's complaint.

"He did not want to get out of my hand.."

"It all felt like it was yesterday.."

"You remember when his mother left?"

"Sure, Mr.."

"He cried all day and didn't want to get out of my arms.."

"Look at Him now.."

"He didn't even invite his father to stay at the palace.."

Again, Ron just smiled without commenting on anything.

"And do you know?"

"I heard his stomach was shot for protecting that man!"

"Geez!"

"Is my daughter worthy to marry Him?"

Marquess Jasper shook her head.

"I hope He chooses the right person."

"I always pray for the happiness of Miss, Sir."

"Yes, you have to!"

Ron smiled again at his master's words.

"Sophy.."

"It's Dad.."

Sofia wakes up from her bed when she hears the voice of her father, Marquess Jasper.

HORN.

The door opened, and Marquess Jasper stood there.

"Dad..." Sofia hugged her father tightly.

They walked inside and sat on the sofa facing the fireplace.

Elie swiftly went to the kitchen and picked up a cup as well as a warm tea and some jars of biscuits.

"What brings you here so early in the morning?"

"Can't I see my son?" Jasper raised both eyebrows.

"It's not like that, Dad."

"If you want to see me, I'll go home quickly. The drive from home here is pretty far, I don't want Dad to be exhausted."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm not tired at all!"

"I'm still healthy!" Marquess Jasper crossed both hands.

Sofia just smiled looking at her father who looked annoyed.

"I understand, Father.."

"I'm sorry.." Sofia clasped her father's cold hand.

Elie poured a cup of tea and opened the freshly baked biscuits.

"Thank you, Elie..." Sofia tells Elie to leave with her eyes.

"I understand, Miss.." Elie nodded and left the couple Son and Father.

After the atmosphere was quiet enough, Sofia looked at her father's changed face. He was completely unaware of the change, as he had been very close to him all along.

His hair had started to whiten, there were fine folds under his eyes, and on his forehead.

His father looked old, his eyes dropped, and his back was already tired, having shored up all his responsibilities all along.

"Sophy.."

"Yes, Dad.."

Marquess Jasper took a deep breath and began to stare at her adult son.

"When are you getting married?"

"Spring, Dad..."

Marquess Jasper reached into her coat pocket and gave Sofia a worn letter.

"What's this, Dad?"

"Read.."

"I'll see Her Majesty the Queen.."

"Well..."

As Sofia was about to escort her father out, Marquess Jasper forbade her.

"Seat down, and read it.."

".."

Sofia nodded and saw her father walking out, then closed the door.

HORN.

Sofia looked at the worn out letter. He did not see any emblem there, then opened it slowly.

The handwriting that Sofia was not familiar with at all, she began to read it.

Dear, Sofi..

If Dad gives you this letter, it's a sign that you're an adult and you're getting married.

Is correct?

You're getting married?

Has it been that long since Mom left?

Ah..

No cry..

You know, I've never liked watching you cry.

(Sofia wiped her tears that were about to fall soaked the letter.)

Mom is sick, baby..

You don't have to worry..

There was no medicine for me at the time.

I left without telling you..

Forgive Mom..

I just can't stand to see you crying for me.

You'd rather hate me than I'll see you crying for me.

Sophie, man,

Do you remember when we both went on vacation to Lilbert?

remember it?

Remember you asked, though,

Mother why does the man stand on the shore and look at you?

At that time, I laughed without giving an answer.

Sofi, that guy is my best friend.

He took care of me and became my only friend.

Is he happy now?

I hope yes..

And Sofi..

Forgive my selfishness..

You married that guy, didn't you?

A handsome bad guy.

That's how we called him.

My parents and I have already betrothed you.

Forgive me again.

If Jasper gives you this letter, it's a sign that the matchmaking is a success.

Can I cheer now?

Huh

I happy.

Marry darling!

Be happy!

You're getting married in Rose's Garden!

And I'll see you there!

See you.

With Love

Rossie's.

Note: Give this Letter to Hades.

Sofia rubbed her tears that had flowed like a river.

He really doesn't remember that he used to meet Hades.

His hatred for his mother used to make him forget all those wonderful memories.

Sofia folds her letter again, then stands up and then runs into Richi's room.

HORN.

The door opens, Sofia enters Richi's dark room. The whole curtain is still closed, Richi is still asleep in her bed.

Sofia on her tiptoes approaches Richi, She doesn't want to surprise her and wakes up.

After all the sky was still dark, Richi could still rest after a night of riding with him.

Sofia climbed up the bed slowly.

Enter the blanket and gently hold onto Richi.

Her distinctive body aroma immediately made Sofia comfortable and decided to continue her sleep there.

* * *

The bright light made Sofia blink both eyes, She was reluctant to get up from her sleep. A sense of comfort and warmth made him continue to curl up and pull again the blanket that almost left his feet.

Ekhm

The sound of someone coughing made him startled and instantly opened his eyes forcefully.

The face of a handsome man who was looking at him.

The man smiled and put his lips closer to Sofia. He kissed softly and whispered in Sofia's ear.

"Is your sleep good, baby?"

"Rich?"

Sofia rubbed her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Sofia pulled out her second blanket.

"here?" Richi spread his gaze throughout the room.

"Well.."

"I'm sorry.." Sofia's cheeks are red.

He quickly recalled all the events that happened a few hours ago.

"I accidentally fell asleep here.."

"Oh..." Richi nodded and tried to understand. An evil smile was seen on his lips.

"I'm serious!!"

"Yes.."

"I understand.."

"No!"

"No!"

"You don't understand!"

"I understand, dear.." Richi approaches Sofia and hugs her gently.

"Really?"

Richi nodded his head.

Sofia remembered something, then picked up the letter that was in her clothes.

"When did Hades come home?"

"Hades?"

"Yes.."

"Why ask Hades so early?" Richi frowned.

"this.." Sofia gives a letter from her mother to Richi.

"What's this?"

"This is my mother's will.."

"Witness?"

"Yes.."

"Give this to Hades."

"Not for me?"

"Don't honey, it's for Hades." Sofia pinches Richi's cheek and kisses her quickly.

"All right.."

"I'll send it with the bird."

"Don't fall down!"

"Not going to love." Richi kissed Sofi's lips gently.
