Chapter 22: Chance Encounter
"Miss, you…"
"Adela, Mother reminded you not to eat too much food outside," Aurora reminded in a low voice.
Adela furrowed her eyebrows and pouted. "But this is the first time I come out, so I want to try it."
Looking at her appearance, one would be able to associate her as the pampered young lady from the nobility. Even Aurora would think that way and she herself also knew that it was also the truth.
In a way, Adela was heavily protected and pampered by her parents ever since Adela was young.
Even though the main reason was because of her weak body, but she still looked rather naive.
Aurora sighed. "What if you get sick later?"
"I'll be fine." Adela waved her hand. "Don't worry too much about me, Sister! You should also buy some food that you like."
Seeing that her persuasion was useless, Aurora didn't stop Adela anymore and let her do what she wanted. Aurora knew very well that no matter what she did, she couldn't force Adela to do what she didn't want.
If she did and this made Adela cried, her mother would only reprimand her and made things difficult for her.
Aurora would rather ignore Adela and simply receive the reprimand from her mother for not doing her duty well as the older sister. Who made her younger sister never truly listened to her older sister?
Walking through the streets, Aurora looked around at the stalls and found that most of them were selling food. There were a few of them selling accessory such as small wooden figurine, wooden sword, and some others related to the festival.
It was lively.
Perhaps, it was the original intention of the festival itself.
Rather than remembering the blood sheds because of the war and the sacrifice, it would be better for them to remember it as the day when they won and enjoyed the victory in happiness.
The Sun Festival seemed to be pretty good.
Aurora walked around and saw Adela had followed her at some points. However, Adela's attention was quickly attracted to the various food stalls at the sides.
It seemed that she was like a small foodie who never had enough.
"Does Adela not eat enough at home?" Aurora asked.
"Miss, you know the doctor restricted the food that Second Miss could eat," Les explained as they walked through the street helplessly. "Madam didn't allow Second Miss to eat a lot of dessert in consideration of her health."
"I see." Aurora nodded.
Adela herself didn't seem to care about her health and more about her enjoyment at the moment. It was not something rare as many other people did the same as her.
But for Aurora, she only felt headache coming.
Because she knew very well that when she got back, her mother will definitely ask for her explanation.
Bang!
Hearing the faint sound of fight at the side, Aurora furrowed her eyebrows. She glanced at the side and saw two people arguing with each other. There was a young woman kneeling on the ground behind a young man while he argued with a middle aged man.
"It's not right to force a young woman!" The young man said to the middle aged man in front of him.
"Bah!" The middle aged man sneered. "She owed our place a large debt. You pretty young man, you shouldn't be involved in this matter if you still care for your face!"
"I… I don't have money," the young woman said tremblingly. "Please give me more time and I'll repay the debt."
"What time! We've given you half a year but you still haven't earned enough money. Isn't it easier for us to sell you instead." The middle aged man sneered.
The young man looked at the woman behind him and then looked at the middle aged man in front of him. "How much did she owe you?"
"Do you want to pay for him, Pretty boy?" The middle aged man shook his head and looked at him up and down. "With your appearance, do you really think that you're some kind of rich person?"
"Don't make me repeat it, how much did she owe?" The young man frowned.
"10 gold," the middle aged man replied.
10 gold?
Aurora, who was listening at the side, shook her head. It was impossible for a commoner to have that much money if they didn't have some kind of business.
Besides, the currency that was used was gold, silver, and copper. 100 copper is equal to 1 silver and 100 silver is equal to 1 gold. The monthly wage for commoner were usually only 1 silver to 5 silver at most. In one year, they wouldn't be able to reach 1 gold.
Even the generous paying job wouldn't allow them to earn that much.
But she owed 10 gold?
It meant that she would have to work several years if she wished to be able to repay this debt.
"10 gold?" The young man frowned. "Then if I paid the money, will you leave her alone?"
"You? Can you pay?"
Aurora at the side looked at the scene in front of her and knew that this young man definitely could pay.
He's the crown prince of the Yellow Kingdom, Crown Prince Edward.
