The next morning Lucy woke early and went for a walk to collect some berries and mushrooms from the woods, she came back with enough to provide them with breakfast and David and Anne Marie were already awake looking very satisfied and happy with themselves. David had made a fire and was cooking up a pot of coffee, the three chatted and laughed while the breakfasted as though nothing had happened the night before.
They set off an hour later and made it to the City by late afternoon. The girls got a room at the inn, as did David who was going to set off back to his Father the next day after making sure that the girls were safe.
The girls bathed and then dressed to go down and eat in the inn, David was already there, drinking with a large man.
"Ah, good evening ladies" smiled David, he had already warned them not to disclose to anyone that Lucy was a Princess as that could leave them open to trouble.
"This man is an old friend of mine, his name is Jax, he was a sailor with my father when they were young men, he is now the Captain of a boat and has travelled to many lands. He says he has heard of the land you seek and his ship will be travelling there to trade later this week. If you agree to cook and clean during the journey then he will take you with him.
The girls readily agreed. They spent the remainder of the week helping the Captain to prepare for the voyage and by the time the ship sailed he looked upon the two like daughters, though the old man still felt a stirring in his loins when he looked at the beautiful young princess with her firm round breasts pressing against her shirt.
The journey was passing uneventfully when on the 13th day out of port a ship was spotted on the horizon, throughout the day the ship got nearer and nearer, finally the sailors on Lucy's boat grew fearful as they realised that the ship bore the flag of pirates!
The girls were ushered downstairs and waited in fear for hours. Suddenly there was a yell and the sound of steel on steel. The girls screamed. The battle if it was a battle did not last long, and the girls heard the clump of heavy boots before the door flew open and a huge man stood before them.
"Ha!" he laughed, "the bounty on this ship is better than I had thought, Alkan will be pleased!"
Lucy turned and glared at the tall blonde haired figure.
"Where is the Captain?" she demanded
The man grinned "If you mean the old fool he is feeding the sharks as we speak" He laughed again as Lucy and Anne Marie gasped in horror!
"I am Princess Lucy of Alexria she snarled. The good captain was taking myself and my maid to my Father, King John. Before you took his vessel and slew the poor man." Her heart sang at the memory "my father will hang you from the walls for this" she paused for a second her fury ebbing away before his steely gaze "but if you return us to my homeland I promise you that you will be greatly rewarded!"
He paused staring at her, his mouth was dry, never had he seen such a beauty in all his 33 years. He pondered over her words, they could have been true, apart from her beauty she carried herself regally, that was clear even from what little she had said. He would have loved to have taken her for his own but he knew that his life would have been short if he did not follow his duty.
The Pirate captain sighed. "Alas my princess, the decision to take you to your homeland is not mine to take, this ship belongs to my Lord, the Pirate King Alkan, we are travelling now to his stronghold less than a weeks sail from here, it was good fortune that brought us upon your ship." He paused for a second and Lucy could see the light of lust in his eye, she shivered, her pussy moistening under his gaze. The Captain wished that he could take this beauty, just once, upon his huge bed, but he knew that if Alkan discovered, as he surely would that he had committed such an act his skin would be flayed from his back But she was such a beauty! For a moment his body began to win over the struggle with his mind, his prick hardening beneath his britches as he gazed upon the swell of her breasts. Then with a visible shake he pulled himself together and striding from the room he slammed the door and locked it shut.
The girls remained locked in their room for the remainder of the trip, being let out to bathe and eat. The trip was slow and unpleasant and the girls were scared though Lucy never allowed her captors to know it remaining regal and haughty throughout only showing her fears to Anne Marie when they were alone.
The ship docked at Alkan's fortress base, there the two captors were led from their quarters. Lucy was beginning to wonder how much longer she would have to wear these clothes, they felt dirty and grimy, she had been able to wash them aboard ship and she longed for a long bathe in a hot deep bath.
They followed the Captain up a long cobbled path, a group of his men followed them, they passed through crowds of leering pirates who stared at the young women, particularly Lucy with her long flowing blonde hair and her regal features.
Finally they came to a huge palace, the group walked through the vast gates, the Princess gaped open mouthed at the splendour of their surroundings. While her fathers castle had been impressive the palace was beyond her wildest dreams, they passed through halls of marble with fountains and gardens and strange but beautiful animals, the girls forgot for a moment their situation and gasped and pointed at the many wonders.
Finally they came to a great door, guarded by two huge men, the men stood aside to let the party through, opening the great door before them. They walked down a long red carpeted corridor and came to a further door which opened before them as they approached. Stepping inside the girls were in a small beautifully furnished room, in the middle of which was a great chair and on this chair sat the Pirate king.
Both girls stared at him, he was like no man they had ever seen before, a massive figure, wide across the shoulders, his skin was tanned ebony and his head had been shaven of all hair. He gazed at Lucy with piercing grey eyes, hardly appearing to notice the rest of the party as they stood silently before him. The princess gazed back, her face beautiful and calm, she admired the strong muscles of his huge arms, his wide full lipped mouth and square jaw. Though he was not of a race known to her she found his appearance very attractive.
"Princess" said the king, his voice deep and powerful, "while I regret that you are here against your will I hope that your stay will not prove tooβ¦.unpleasant. You will be well cared for by my servants but I must give some thought to what I will do with you. Your father is known to me and has long been an enemy of my people. Many of my warriors have died in battle against his armies and I will not quickly rush to do him a service by delivering to him his daughter."
"However, for now I hope that you will consider yourself as a guest and not a prisoner"
Lucy sighed "I had not imagined that I would be quickly released Sire, as fate recently has not been kind to me, however myself and my maid are tired and hungry and in need of a wash and clean clothes, if you can provide us with these then we will be greatly obliged."
