It was safe to say that this was the most awkward lunch Alvin have had in his entire life and he knew for a fact that he was going to get seriously constipated. It was difficult disgesting everything whether literally or figuratively. The sight of Harold not just dancing but doing so in public was something he could not shake out of his head. Never in the 15 years since he had known him had he seen him do something like that. He really could not underestimate this lady. In only a few days, she had been…

"I still think that we should return to the palace. You can have a proper meal there," Harold suggested as she looked around the marketplace for a place where she could eat. "Let's eat something different for a change," Alicia insisted. What did the people here eat? She was dying to have a taste of the commoners' food. Harold sighed as he let her lead them to a shop where people were seated eating outdoors. Harold let his eyes scan around the place to make sure it was safe before leading her to an empty…

Two weeks ago, if someone had told Harold that he would be strolling around the town like this, it would have sounded like a terrible joke. If someone had told him that he would be dressed in rags like this, the person must have been prepared to die. And if they had told him he would be following a little girl aimlessly, he would have laughed. But here he was. Even Alvin could not help but wonder about the charm she was using on Harold. He was talking a lot, and he even seemed more like a human now, except…

Back at the palace, Paulina couldn"t help feeling anxious. She kept praying for the princess to escape safely. She didn"t mind being punished on her behalf, but if the princess didn"t want to stay here, she would support her in leaving. The only problem was with Prince Harold. He seemed to be a wise person, which would make it difficult for her to escape successfully. She really prayed that her mistress would be safe and that no harm would come to her. She continued to pace around Alicia"s chamber, deep in…

Alicia seemed fascinated by what was going on in the market. With the sun down, it made her enjoy her stroll, watching people display different talents, like tossing various fruits in the air and catching all of them with no one hitting the ground. Some were busy playing with flames. They all wore colorful clothes while the onlookers clapped, some donating gold coins to the performers. They also stopped by a makeshift theater where people were gathered to watch an ongoing play. Alicia had been curious…

"You... are serious?" The vendor asked, baffled. "I am." She nodded. Before she knew it, Harold was gently pulling her beside him and looking at her like she was insane. "Pants and boots?" He asked, slightly confused but he didn't show it. "Huh huh. Welcome to civilization." She said, smirking at him. He gave her a weird look before letting go of her. She didn't waste time before she returned to the man, asking for smaller sizes, but the man's face was suddenly red from anger. "What a disgrace!" he…

Alicia insisted that they take another route into the market. As they strolled side by side, she asked him a lot of questions about the village and the people who lived there, and Harold tried his best to answer her questions without giving away too much. "How often do you come to the market?" Alicia asked, turning to look at him. "I only pass through it sometimes; I don't have any reason to be here," Harold explained, and Alicia nodded. Of course, he had no reason to be here. He was part of the royal…

Having decided to change her plans since Paulina wasn't with her, Alicia tried to enjoy the ride. She made sure to look around and take note of the routes they were taking. If she was going to escape from the palace with Paulina later, she needed to at least know the right path to take. "Is this the only route to the town?" Alicia asked curiously after some time. "When you are leaving the palace, this is the only path you can take to the marketplace," Harold answered, deciding to indulge her. "Hmm. How…

"You promised, right? If I can handle this horse, it's going to be mine." Alicia looked at him seriously, hoping he was not going to go back on his word. She had already imagined how this horse would belong to her and make her escape plan easy. By the time she returns to her real life, this would be a gift for Amber. She could not trust any other horse in this palace. Harold nodded while the guards around her were already lighting mental candles for her and praying that she would rest in peace. Hellion…

The royal family or probably everyone in the palace skipped breakfast on the last day of the week, so Alicia was not asked to get ready for breakfast, taking her time to get everything she needed for her escape. Something kept bothering her, and that was Paulina's sudden reluctance to leave. How could Paulina just change her mind that way? Why was the maid trying to ruin her plans? What was making her want to stay back in this kingdom? She wasn't going to stay back in this kingdom nor in this era for any…
