Yes, you are determined

However just thinking about your impending marriage with Lord Mark a cold shiver runs down your spine and your doubts are dissipating quickly.

(I have to get going before anyone notices that I am missing. I won`t have a second chance to escape again.)

You quickly move towards the port and arrive at the merchant ship about an hour later. The only person on board was what looked like a deckswab, passed out drunk.

(They must be visiting the local tavern now, getting drunk and enjoying the company of some immoral wenches. Just the imagination of how these whores are offering their service to this dirty and stinky crew for a few coins disgust me.)

You easily sneak in into the cargo hold and hide yourself in a corner. You make yourself comfortable and fall asleep.

The ship leaves the port the next morning according to schedule. You don`t know its destination but you are happy to have escaped your arranged marriage.

You hide yourself for nearly two days but hunger and thirst are getting unbearable. You know that you won`t survive unless you get some nourishment. Cursing your own lack of foresight you have to leave your hiding spot only to notice that the hatch to the deck is locked.
