<div style="text-align: justify;">Carlota was growing more and more anxious as days went by. Every week, every month made her more and more stressed. As three moons completed, the poor lady could barely sleep without having terrible nightmares. She kept to herself, though, and never complained about anything. <br/><br/>She also made her best to keep her servants calm, as she didn't want them to lose it and do or say something wrong.<br/><br/>As the fourth month came, Carlota begged on her knees every night for God to provide for her ransom before she had to serve the Captain's instincts. Her heart raced every time she heard footsteps by her door and she felt really nervous about what would happen.<br/><br/>When Peter had her and the servants called, Carlota was unsure about how she should feel? Was it hope? Or was it her doom? Hearing the news made the Spanish lady go pale. She was doomed, that was a fact.<br/><br/>Remaining silent, Carlota listened to Peter's words. A faint smile came on her face when she heard the options she had. She didn't really have a choice, now did she? She would never sacrifice the other women simply so she wouldn't have to suffer. So, with a soft sigh, Carlota bowed her head and left the captain's cabin.<br/><br/>As soon as they returned to their living space, Carlota reassured the women. "The men will not touch you, ladies. Nor will we hang. I will sacrifice my body to the captain's lust, rather than we all suffer. It is better that only I shall pay for what happened. You rest assured, I will do everything in my power to make sure you are not harmed."</div>
