Hereditary Prince's Wife

Chapter 14

The hustle and bustle of the women who were busy with their respective activities, stopped when they saw the arrival of a small group that looked like a pretty interesting combination. A person who uses a wheelchair but his clothes and head accessories look very elegant and luxurious, his face is very beautiful but it can be ascertained that the person is a man, a young master who has never experienced any difficulties in his life. Beside him was a doctor who was very well known in the place and a small young master who used to run around in that place since childhood and there were two people who seemed to be servants of the young master who was in a wheelchair. The women paused to observe the group and after catching a glimpse of the beautiful young master in the wheelchair, they would sigh for a moment and then go back to their work.

"Luana, we're coming!!", shouted Lowell who was looking for Luana's figure among the women who were used to seeing his wandering around the place.

"I'm here! Wait a minute", a scream of answer sounded from the window on the second floor and Luana stuck her head out to look down.

Zane raised his head and looked at Luana then smiled while waving his hand. Luana smiled and waving her hand in return and disappeared, a moment later Luana was already not far in front of them. Luana wore simple pants and clothes, did not look like a woman from the aristocracy and her hair was only tied with a black ribbon. Her beautiful but stern face was either because she was born that way or because of her life so far, but Zane felt quite comfortable with Luana's appearance. When he came yesterday, he couldn't see Luana clearly because he was wearing a headscarf and he yesterday only guessed that Luana was a female figure who would be fun to be friends with.

"Sister-in-law, sorry to disturb you", said Zane to Luana who was replied with a wave of her hand and a smile.

Luana invited them inside and it turned out that it was more crowded inside than outside, there were many partitions between rooms but you could see what was done inside because there were no doors that limited the rooms, there were only a few rooms that used doors. Luana walked over while explaining the place to Zane, "Princess, this place is the center of working women. Those who work here are usually married women. No matter if they are from the noble circle or not, if those women want to learn certain skills then they can come here at any time and we will accept them gladly. However, most of the workers who remained here were commoners and were led by a few noble women. Here there are several things that are done, such as making cosmetics including soap and shampoo for bathing, then there is also weaving, sewing clothes and making trinkets. But, we also work together with male artisans to make military purposes. Are you interested in any of the things made here?".

"Ehm... My sister-in-law can just call me Zane", said Zane who felt quite awkward to hear Luana call him a princess.

Luana gave a small response and agreed to Zane's request. Zane then turned to look around and said, "I don't know what I'm interested in here, it's just that last night I really liked the soap made from here so I made a random request to see it made directly to the Hereditary Prince".

"Oh, then how about you look at the ones made here one by one? You want to see soap making, right? We usually won't make soap every day and only a few days a month because once we make soap, we can make hundreds of soaps. But it's only fitting that today there is soap making so you can see the process," said Luana who directed them to the soap making room while explaining the process of making it.

Zane was quite satisfied with soap making, but he didn't feel any interest in learning soap making, and finally that day he came back feeling empty because he didn't find anything that made him want to learn it. But, tomorrow he will go there again to see the making of other items. Maybe in the next few days he would always go there to see the making of crafts one by one and also he intended to see the making of military items as well.

And after a few days, Zane finally found his favorite. Zane is very interested in plant cultivation, especially medicinal plants which he thinks are quite useful for him and seeing how here the cultivation of medicinal plants is not in demand and also the marketing is only for pharmaceutical purposes in the military, Zane wants to explore it even more. In addition, there is something interesting for him, namely making arm supports made of animal skins, the craft of animal skins according to him can be learned and he wants to make something for Randall. Zane remembers that when Randall used his military uniform, he used several items with animal skins as the main material but Randall clearly did not use quality animal skins and only used them. Because of this, Zane wanted to learn it and make something for Randall that Randall would definitely wear often. Perhaps as a reward for Randall's kindness to him.

After Zane decided what he wanted to study, his days became busy and he always came after breakfast and studied with the workers and craftsmen. The people there have already started to know Zane and know that Zane is their princess who came from Odessa. However, beyond their expectations of Zane, Zane, who they thought was a little girl, turned out to be a beautiful young man who was friendly and never once acted badly or demeaned the workers there. Although they were initially a little disappointed and felt that their Hereditary Prince's marriage was very reckless because they were married to a paralyzed man, Zane had now won their hearts and they were very happy about Zane's presence. Not to mention, Zane is very easy to learn and always comes with a lot of fragile food for them so that Zane's arrival is increasingly awaited by the workers.

"Young master, why do you want to learn to make arm braces? Isn't it too difficult, how about you learn something else", said the male craftsman who taught Zane some time ago to make crafts from animal skins.

When Zane started studying, he refused to be called princess because after all he was a man so he felt strange and uncomfortable when he was called princess, it didn't matter if it was just a few people like Randall and Gene but if everyone called him princess anytime and anywhere, it was certain that he felt that his pride as a man was being swallowed up by the earth. Zane finally refused the princess's call and it was enough for the young master to call Randall as they called Randall on ordinary days.

"I want to make it for the Hereditary Prince, I saw last time that the arm support was very shabby and unfit to be used anymore", replied Zane who was still staring at the half-finished arm support.

"You can just buy it or ask us to make it, we will make it as you want", replied the craftsman feeling confused and there was an awkward feeling also hearing that the arm support was made for Randall.
