Well at least Minho knows Jinki is safe. I really like Captain Jonghyun, he's so smooth. His observational skills are remarkable, but I guess he'd have to be pretty observant and just intelligent in general in order to be the captain of a pirate crew. I like him so, so much. I wonder what he wants the Queen's magic for... is he trying to retrieve something or gain some sort of power for his own? Hm. What could it be that the Captain wants so badly?

I'm also curious to see how they're going to get Jinki out before the coronation. He obviously can't become Queen if he's being held hostage. Is Minho going to offer up a servant or something to be Jinki's placeholder so that he can go through the trials?

And Jinki got to wear men's clothes! He probably looked so handsome. I have so many questions about his thoughts about being on the ship. He isn't being treated harshly... I don't wanna ask any questions in case they get answered later... it's just so fascinating! Even the way that Minho wondered about Jonghyun's ship had questions popping up for me. There's so much detail, but it's subtle and things are described in so few words you could miss it. I love it! Thanks so much for posting the next part! I hope you're enjoying the holidays. :)
