    Summary

    “I reckon ye only be mad at me,” he started, his eyes closing shut like he knew the prince would bring him no harm. “ ‘Cause ye 'ave no freedom in yer own life.”

    A simple sentence was all it was really, words compiled together to form a meaning. Sometimes such meanings were in fact meaningless, they held no truth and were only spoken for the sake of aggravation. Though in even rarer times, there was truth rooted in the very ground of the meaning and that was what caused the aggravation.

    But what would a pirate know?

     

    Or: Royal prince Seonghwa who is first in line for the throne, finally meets the recently captured and most feared pirate in all the Seven Seas who has been condemned to death. Every year on the feast on the Ceremony of the Golden Rose, the crown prince is to take a rose dipped in gold to present to one special prisoner as a gift of freedom and a new start at life. This year is like no other, besides the fact that the great pirate king who infuriates Seonghwa to no end might end up shedding a new kind of light on the young and very adventurous prince, changing his views altogether.

    Summary

    Yunho sobbed desperately, clinging to Seonghwa even as he kept his dagger plunged into Seonghwa's broken heart.

    If only he could go back. If he could just start all over again, he would do it all differently. Just one chance was all he asked, one chance to change the outcome of this heartbreaking tale. He would suffer a million deaths for a single chance to do it all again.

    He would rewrite the stars and do everything in his power to save them all. To give them the lives that they deserve, one that didn't end in bloodshed and misery.

    Please. Please give me one last chance. I want to save them!

    Seonghwa could feel himself fading away, his eyes became heavy and his breathing was slow and shallow. He was dying. This was it.

    Everything around him faded to black.

    or the one where Seonghwa wakes up four years into the past after his tragic death and is given a chance to start over and change the past for the sake of the people he loves
