E p i s o d e 2: The village

B o o k 1: The Kingdom at its most

------------------------------------------------

N A R R A T O R ' S P O I N T O F V I E W

The princess and her butler took a carriage and wandered around the village.

The princess wanted to visit the town's hall, and they did go there successfully.

------------------------------------------------

C R Y S T A L ' S P O I N T O F V I E W

The butler got off the carriage, and opened the carriage dooe for me. I got out the carriage and went to the town's hall with my butler.

While leading myself to the town's hall, I noticed that the village is completely colorless and dull. Nobody is wearing a smile, not even the kids.

There are kids who are begging for a small amount of money or food..

"Butler, where is this town's bakery?" I stopped from walking, and asked.

"What is your reaaon that you want to go to the bakery? Are you feeling hungry?" He asked instead of responding to my question.

"I want to buy pastries for the children.." I said in response.

"Very well." He escorts me to the town's bakery.

Once we've entered the bakery, I paced my head.

"Young princess! W-what a sudden visit. How can we serve you?" The lady of the bakery asked.

"What is the best pastry this bakery has?" I leaned on the counter.

"Ak-hem. Young princess." The butler coughs.

"Oops, apologies." I stood straight.

"Well, we don't have any more best pastry since your father has.. - I mean, our best pastry is the cinnamon rolls."

"Good! I'd love to buy 20 cinnamon rolls for 10 gold coins." I smiled as I took out 10 gold coins.

(The lady's mind: How spoiled..)

"Right away, young princess!" She left immedietly.

(An hour later)

The lady of the bakery came back with a tray of freshly-baked 20 cinnamon rolls.

I smelled the beautoful fragrance of the cinnamon rolls. "It smells very delicious!"

I started hearing thuds on the bakery's door, then I turned. I saw kids thudding and bumping themselves onto the door, and they were focused on the cinnamon rolls.

"I appreciate your service, here is your 10 gold coins." I gave her the coins.

I took the cinnamon rolls and left the bakery.

The kids were rambling for the cinnamon rolls.

Alright, kids! Get in line. I'm very sure these yummy and freshly baked cinnamon rolls will fill all your tummies up! I smiled, and kneeled to their height while raising cinnamon rolls into the air.

All the children lined up.

"One for you,

And for you,

And another one for you,

A yummy cinnamon roll for you,

And for you,

,And for you..

(14 cinnamon rolls later.)

And last but not least, a cinnamon roll for you!" I gave the last cinnamon roll to the last kid.

All tbe children gathered up, like they're having a kiddie meeting.

I was so curious about what they are talking about.

The children stood in front of me.

"Thank you, young princess!" They said. Some were late, some were too fast, some were just right. Though, seeing and hearing it from them are very adorable.

"So cute! And my pleasure." I stood up and bowed.

I looked at their parents.

They looked unhappy and looking down upon me..

Their parents took each of their child, and backed away from me.

I was sad.

I started hearing gossips.

("The princess will never be like that once again in the future.")

("Why is she very kind and dear if her father made us hold onto dying resources?")

("What an attention seeker.")

Attention seeker.

Sounds familiar.
