Matidal absolutely did not want to become a pirate's wife.
Let alone his eighth wife.
Matilda had heard plenty of rumors about the "Bluebeard" before her. The most famous was that the first mate of the "Dokiman Island Devils" had once been an officer in North County, with a wealthy family and a promising future.
