The Prince and the Peasant

[Matreania]

Michael looked at her confused, "Why wouldn't they? You are part of their kingdom, I would think they would want to help."

 

[Binnie Ryman]

"I, I wouldn't have any way to pay them," said Celia.

 

[Matreania]

Michael smiled, "isn't it the responsibility of the king and queen to insure all their subjects are healthy, I don't think paying is needed."

 

[Binnie Ryman]

"I, I wouldn't feel right with them providing something that I couldn't pay back," said Celia.

 

[Matreania]

Michael smiled, "Then pay then I'm bread, if it matters so much."

 

[Binnie Ryman]

"A-are you sure?" Celia asked.

 

[Matreania]

Michael smiled, "Well it can't hurt to try, right? But they leave this morning so maybe you can just ready your bread."

 

[Binnie Ryman]

Celia nodded. "Thank you for your advice," she said.

 

[Matreania]

Michael smiled, "I hope everything goes good, when do ou usually start packing up?"

 

[Binnie Ryman]

"It depends," said Celia. "If I sell out, I close then, if not, I close up at about four."

 

[Matreania]

"So, if you sell out you can leave?"

 

[Binnie Ryman]

Celia nodded. "But I don't usually sell out."

 

[Matreania]

Michael smiled, "I'm sure you have before. t was really good bread."

 

[Binnie Ryman]

"I, I am pleased you think so," said Celia.

 

[Matreania]

Michael smiled, "Well, I have to get something done quickly, but I'll be back, ok?"

 

[Binnie Ryman]

"All right," said Celia with a nod and a slight, clumsy curtsy.

 

[Matreania]

Michael smiled, "Maybe when I get back I can help you with your farewells." he said, as he started to walk away.

 

[Binnie Ryman]

Celia smiled slightly and nodded as he walked away.

 

[Matreania]

Michael hurried back to the castle to start on his first lesson, hoping to sneak out sooner rather then later.

 

[Binnie Ryman]

Celia made a few sales, though not nearly as many as yesterday.

 

[Matreania]

Michael managed to sneak out between his dance lesson and science lecture, making it back to her stand before she closed, "Hello, Celia."

 

[Binnie Ryman]

"Hello," said Celia softly and shyly.

 

[Matreania]

"Seems like I caught you just in time. How has your day been?" Michael asked her curiously.

 

[Binnie Ryman]

"Fine," said Celia. "I didn't sell as much today, though."

 

[Matreania]

Michael smiled, "Well," he thought for a moment, before taking out a small pouch of coins, "How much can I get for this?" he asked.
