That was the last thing that Marcus had expected to happen. What was the royal family thinking? Putting pirates and royals together never ended well and bloodshed was something that Marcus had hoped to avoid for a while. Still, they were in the royal's territory and they could be executed at any moment. There was no way he could deny their request, although he could try to negotiate the terms, make the journey easier for the crew. With the prince on board, Marcus would probably lose some control as there was no doubt that the royal would insist on doing things his way and would disobey any order given whenever possible

He quickly looked back to see if Hope was alright and noticing the way she flew, he signalled to her to lean against one of the walls implying that she should lean against it for support. Marcus faced the queen and king again:[color=chocolate] ''Your majesties, we would be glad to fulfil your request, but I'm afraid that if the prince joined us it could be detrimental to our progress. You see, we haven't started off on the right foot and we wouldn't want anyone to get hurt for no good reason. Is there anyone else who can accompany us?''

Nodding quickly back at Blake, Anya attempted to listen to the King. The request was shocking, of course, but she was more annoyed than surprised. All of their routes for the next few months would have to be discarded and replaced with new ones which would probably take a while to plan and she felt like the royal family didn't want to wait around. Glaring briefly at Marcus for not denying the request, she tried to hide the anger that began to grow within by looking at the objects laid out on the table. Some of them she had never seen before in her life and memorising how they looked like could be useful in the long run.
