Chapter 127: The romantic crown prince.

She tugged on his hand and eagerly marched out of the private room as if she was off on an urgent mission. He snickered and followed, allowing himself to be led away. When they were outside of the restaurant, she slowed down and they started walking at a normal pace.

The streets of the city were bustling, close to being over crowded. It was busy and business as usual despite the beheading which had taken place hours earlier. They were alive with sounds of merchants calling out their wares from inside or outside their shops.

Some children were laughing and playing and walked or run down the side walks and out of every nearby tavern was the faint sound of music being played on different instruments.

It was as vibrant as a modern city, the difference however was that people here mostly had smiles on their faces. On earth, Sigrid had seen more frowning, exhausted faces at this time of the night than smiling ones.

As they walked, people made way, stopping to bow, curtsy or greet. Merchants and stall owners rushed forward to give them some trinkets or food which was taken by the knights and put inside a carriage. Even though it was a bit of a bother as they just wanted to take a peaceful walk like every other ordinary person, they endured and smiled.

Roland rather liked the feeling of being connected to the people in a way that he rarely experienced.

"Look, someone has opened up a new dress shop." Sigrid pointed at the shop with bright lights and ladies outside dancing simply as a means of attracting people’s attention.

This style of promotion had been copied from Sigrid, she employed it whenever she opened a new business.

She pulled on Roland’s hand and they crossed the road, entering the shop. It was half full with mostly women looking at the dresses or shouting out orders at the top of their voices as if they were in a market place.

"Is it just me or are these dresses mimicking the fashion of the actresses in the rise of lady Blanche?" Sigrid asked him.
