The men retracted their swords and backed away a few steps. I stared at Baron with suspicion. Despite being a pirate, this man emits some sort of n.o.ble air. There's something about him that doesn't feel right. I took his jacket and hat off.

Ugh.

The corset thing reaches up to my knees and restricts me from running. I took the dagger and cut the hem until it reached mid-thigh.

I breathed out in relief. Using the same dagger I cut the coat's length in half. In my previous life aside from history, I studied fas.h.i.+on design. This had allowed me to be more conscious about what I put on my body.

The boots are perfect to the look so let's just leave them on. Suddenly I felt a s.h.i.+ver down my back. I turned to see the crew and Baron stare at me. What the h.e.l.l's their problem?

Oh s.h.i.+t.

I forgot that this was the 16th century.

Women usually wore modest long dresses and didn't show their legs. My legs were now in display to the public. I am slightly curvier than the average girl so I have always been insecure about my thighs and a.s.s. But for some reason that felt like a trivial concern for the moment.

Whatever. I'm a 21st century b.i.t.c.h, if they got a problem they can label me as a s.l.u.t. I then turned on my heel and walked towards the door that leads me to the inside of the s.h.i.+p. I felt arms wrap themselves around my waist. This was way too familiar to my liking.

"Baron could you please refrain from touching me in the future?"

Baron chuckled and whispered.

"My dear you look too enticing. Why would you dress like that in front of my men? You should only show yourself to me alone."

I pushed his face away.

"Get over yourself Pirate, I'm going to go find my men."

I felt myself be thrown over his shoulder. I kept punching his back and slapping the back of his head.

"Release me you fiend!"

My face flushed as I felt him smack my b.u.t.t.

"Flail one more time Mila and I'll take you to our room and do more than just spank you. Do I make myself clear?"

"a.s.shole!"

Baron laughed as he set me in front of his men.

"Crew, I would like to introduce my wife Mila. She is mine and mine only. if I suspect any of you looking at her or touching her without my permission I will not hesitate to throw you overboard to the sharks. Do you understand?"

"Yes captain!"

My body shook as all the men unanimously answered. Despite his s.h.i.+tty personality he seems to know how to handle his crew. I felt a flutter of something soft touch my lips.

I looked to see Baron smile smugly. My face felt like it was about to explode. This a.s.shole just took my first kiss! Well as someone who is aware of it at least. Unintentionally I found my hand burning in pain a second later as a red handprint formed itself on Baron's right cheek.

"Baron let's set some rules going forward. You are not to touch me, kiss me, hold me, or restrict me without my consent. If you go against my orders I will make sure that I pay you back in pain. Do I make myself clear?"

Suddenly I felt a stinging on my right cheek. I held the cheek which Baron had just slapped.

"Mila. I want you to understand that I want to live in equal terms with my partner. If you slap me I will slap you back. If you curse at me, then I will curse at you back. I will respect your wishes but I think that not allowing me to kiss you is too much. After all you are the prisoner on my s.h.i.+p. If you dare go against my wishes I can easily throw you and your men off this s.h.i.+p."

I burst out in laughter. What was I expecting? This man probably takes s.h.i.+ps and kills people for a living. Why would he spare me? I have to ensure a way of capital for myself in order to survive in this new life of mine. I plopped on the deck floor as I pondered. Opening a business while out in the sea seems impossible. This man isn't going to share his treasures with me as well. As a pirate there must be a bounty out for his head though. But alas, I need to get my hands on one first so that I can start pursuing him.

It looks like going at him with force isn't going to work. Maybe I should try to get on his good side and act like a devout wife? Perfect. When the chance of him letting his guard down arises I will be able to fulfill the bounty and earn the money.

I smiled.

"Why don't you share with all of us what you have found so amusing my dear wife?"

Lights. Set. Action.

"Oh Baron, I was just thinking of our first night together. I wonder if that's going to happen again anytime soon."

Tilt the head, pout, and act like an innocent girl. All men fall prey to this. Baron's angry features melted away as amus.e.m.e.nt filled his eyes.

"Well, well. I didn't know that my Mila is the proactive type in the relations.h.i.+p."

I'm not you son of a b.i.t.c.h. But I need to deceive you for the time being.

"Baron, could you please take me to see my men? As we are wife and husband I also want our crews to get along. What will our children think if they see their daddy imprisoning innocent people?"

Bullseye. Talk about future children in order to reel in the bait. Baron and the crew smiled. He walked over to me and carried me in his arms like a princess. I smiled and pecked his cheek. Baron then leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I dug my nails in my palm to stop myself from pus.h.i.+ng him away. Just deal with this for the time being. I need to get to my crew and discuss the next course of action.

Instead of Baron pulling back, the kiss only seemed to get deeper. I was struggling to breathe as he devoured my lips over and over. I felt warmth fill me as something slid into my mouth. Holy s.h.i.+t! His tongue was encircling mine. G.o.d d.a.m.n it, I felt like I was going to melt. Baron then released my lips as I moaned. I put my hands on my mouth. s.h.i.+t! That sound was so embarra.s.sing. Baron chuckled as he whispered.

"We can do more than that, if you want sweetie."

I giggled and caressed his cheek. Inside my mind I was killing him a thousand times in a thousand different ways. After this is all over I will surely take my revenge. Baron then lowered me so that I could stand on the deck.

"Go meet your men, once you're done come meet me in our room. We have a lot to talk about."

I giggled once more and waved. The second I closed the door behind me I started spitting. How could that fiend insert his tongue unashamedly like that! b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Pervert! a.s.shole! Once I carry out my plan I will cut that tongue off and feed it to the sharks!

G.o.d d.a.m.n it my lips were still swollen.

Truth be told I kinda enjoyed the kiss, but that's not the point right now. I walked down the dark corridor. Last time that I went to the jail cells, me and Baron had to pa.s.s by our room. I looked at the familiar mahogany door. Good. I seemed to be going in the right direction. A second later I heard whispering. That must be my men.

The familiar jail cell iron bars faced me once more.

"Men?"

"Miss Mila! Are you okay? Did that man do anything to you?"

I felt my heart warm up at the concern these men had for me.

"I am fine men, I have to discuss something with you."

I sat on the wood floor in front of the cell as the lamp illuminated my men's' faces. They all looked to be about my age, and were quite handsome if I say so myself. Upon a second look they actually seemed n.o.ble and refined unlike my first impression of them.

"Men, I want you all to state your name so that I can be a.s.sured that we haven't lost anyone."

The men nodded in agreement. To the far left of the cell was an older man who looked to be the age of my father.

"I am Wilhelm, the appointed right hand knight of Miss Mila, the daughter of the duke of Avalon."

s.h.i.+t. I almost whistled. I'm quite a hotshot in this lifetime. Next to him were two boys who looked to be twins. One with black hair and blue eyes while the other had blond hair and blue eyes.

"We are John and Ash, two guards who are appointed to serve you."

I smiled at them. They were quite the cuties. In front of me was the young man that even spoke out the last time I came here with Baron.

"I'm Clark, the duke of Avalon's nephew and appointed left hand knight of Miss Mila."

His red hair and brown eyes shone under the dim light. It seems like he's in love with the previous Mila. They must have grown up together or something. I looked to the right of the cell in shock. There was a beautiful woman with gray glistening hair tied in a ponytail. Her amber eyes shone. She was dressed in knight clothing as well.

"I am Zarfia, Miss Mila's main appointed bodyguard and servant."

I smiled, I guess that the old times weren't as bad in s.e.xism as I thought. The final member of my va.s.sals seemed to be a young boy no older than 12. He was tiny with chestnut hair yet his red eyes seemed to hold much wisdom.

"I am Lucius, Miss Mila's source of information and advisor."

I already love this kid. It seemed like I had quite the array of men and woman to serve me. This is going to get interesting. It looks like my plan is going to be enacted faster than I had planned.
