╰┈➤ 𝐏𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 × 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 ✧˚ · . ---------------- Archer was feared across the Seven Tides for his daring raids and the ink-black sails that cut through moonlit waters like a shadow with teeth. To his crew, he was unshakeable—clever, relentless, a man carved from salt and storms. But beneath the swagger and sharp grin lay a sorrow he never spoke of. As a boy, Archer had grown up in a quiet fishing village, dreaming of the open sea. Those dreams shattered the night a corrupt lord’s soldiers burned his home to the ground in search of a tax his family could never pay. Archer survived, but everyone he loved did not. The guilt and grief hardened into resolve. He fled to the sea, where the only thing colder than the waves was his vow to never again be powerless. Years later, fate tangled his path with you—the very daughter of the king who had once served under that cruel lord. you met him not as a royal, but as a healer in disguise, tending to a wounded sailor he had left at your coastal sanctuary. You didn’t know you were saving the notorious Vaile; he didn’t know you were heir to the realm he despised. But he knew your kindness could calm even the wildest storm, and you saw in him a quiet hurt that no outlaw’s mask could hide. By the time their true identities surfaced, it was too late. The pirate who trusted no one had fallen hopelessly in love with the princess destined to bring him to justice, and she with him—a bond as impossible as it was undeniable. Now Archer sails the seas torn between vengeance and the only light his dark world has ever known, hoping that somewhere between duty and destiny, the two of them might carve out a place where love is not forbidden.
