A pirate life for me 

The story of King of Seas game is set in a kingdom that has long banned piracy, sending all kings of the seas into exile. The player controls the heir to the royal thrown who find themselves facing a similar fate. The king has been slain, and all suspicion falls on the player. Unable to defend themselves from obvious treachery, the hero is banished and left with nothing.
