-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
We arrived at Fieodern. There are guards at the front gates. Before we arrive, Ben stops me.
"Put on this." He tells me as he hands me a brown hood.
"Why?"
"Because you are princess Spade. Anyone would recognize you with that Spade on your cheek. If they knew you were outside the castle walls they would take you back." He explained sternly.
"Oh, right." I did as I was told and I draped it over my shoulders.. For a few moment's I forgot that I was royalty.
We walk up the the gates and are stopped.
"State your name's and businesses." One of them demanded.
"My name is Benjamin. And this is my friend Silica. We are traveler's and we need to stock back up on resources." He explained.
"Nice fake names..."
One of the guards stared at me for a few moments.
"You. Take off the hood." He said.
"M-me?" I questioned.
"Yeah you."
I saw Ben glance towards me. I could tell he was scared.
I sighed and took it off, revealing my face. The guards didn't seem fazed though.
"You may enter." One of them said as they both stood aside.
We walked into the gates. Even though there was also a wall around this village. It made me feel more free then being in Aurum. Maybe it is because I saw mamy people walking around, talking, playing, and smiling. Something I never saw at Aurum.
I saw a kid running past, chasing a butterfly.
"Hey kid!" I yelled.
He slowed and turned around. "Me?" He said pointing to himself.
"Yeah. We're new around here. Do you know where we can find a market?" I asked kneeling down.
"Oh yeah! Just keep going left from here and you should see it!" He said happily.
My eyes followed to where he was pointing. "Thank you." I said as I stood back up.
"No problem miss!" He happily said before running off to find the butterfly he was chasing before.
"So where do we go?" Ben asked seeming lost. He must not have been paying attention.
"That way." I point off towards my left.
"Ah, ok." And we start walking.
This village is full of life. I expected for this place to be tense because a lot of the most strongest warriors come from this village. But it's lively. It makes me happy. It sort of saddens me to think that I have to leave soon.
I remember that I still have my mark out. I pull a bandage out of my bag and put it over the Spade. If I put my hood back on it will look a little suspicious.
Once we reached the market place I was surprised. It was even livelier than the part of the village we were previously. And not only that, there were a variety of items and foods being sold.
"Lets split up." I suggested to Ben.
"Agreed." He said as we went our separate ways.
I scanned the various things and foods being sold. "Its a good thing that I'm rich..." I thought as I pulled some gold out of the pouches on my belt.
I walked up to one of the stands. A women is running it. "Hello~" she greeted. "What are you looking for today?"
I looked at the things being sold on the counter and behind her. "Do you have any advice on what to buy if your traveling?" I ask.
"Yes I do! If your going to be traveling a lot then you would want to stock up on fruits, vegatables that can be easily transprted, and meats. If you want to make things more flavorable then you can buy the many spices the Fieodern has to offer. We are know for spicing it up~" She happily explained.
"No thanks! I can not do anything spicy." I said shaking my head. "So what do you sell?"
"Oh I only sell fruits, anything specific you are looking for?"
I thought for a moment. "Surprise me." I said.
Her eyes lit up as she spun around and started to gather random fruits. She put it all in a leather bag. "That will be 3 gold coins!" She exclaimed cheerfully.
"Wow, you sure have expensive taste." I chuckled. Instead of giving her 3 I gave her 6. She was surprised when I did this. "Thanks for surprising me!" I said nonchalantly as I walked off. I could tell she was happy, and I didnt even need to look back.
Next I went to a stand that vegatables. A man was running this one. And a rather young one at that, he might be in his teen years.
"Hello ma'am! What would you like today?" He asked.
"Do you have any reccomendations for vegetables that can be easily packed?" I asked.
"Sure I do! We have lettuce, tomato's, green beans, and others. I will get you some!" He exclaimed as he ran off behind him to get them.
I got my coins ready to pay him. He came back fairly quick. "That will be 7 silver!" He said as he handed me a Jar filled with the assortment of vegetables.
I handed him 14 silver. "It feels good to see other smile". I thought. When I handed him the coins, he just stared at me. I smiled. I began to leave when I saw a flock of villagers coming in the same direction. With a woman in the middle?
I pointed at the woman in the middle of all the followers. "Hey kid, who's that?"
He followed the direstion I pointed in. "Oh Lord Rose you mean?"
I tensed up at that name. "y-yeah..." I managed to get out as I start walking in the direction they were going in. When I passed them, time seemed to slow. I looked over, my eyes met her gaze. Put I kept walking. She on the other hand stopped.

Rose's POV
It was a normal day for me, I was being crowded by fangirls and boys. They all bombarded me with questions. I tried my best to ignore them, but they were getting on nerves I didnt even know I had left. But I can't yell at them. Then I would be in trouble. A boy was asking me a question that I felt I had to answer. Behind him I saw someone looking at me.
At that moment, time seemed to slow. All of the voices ceased and my eyes widened.
"Is that- Spade?" I thought. She looked back ahead and kept walking. This was too interesting to just brush off. I stopped in my tracks.
"What's wrong my Lord?" one of the females asked worriedly.
"Nothing, I just remebered that I have a meeting to go to. See you later." I said as I hurried off.
