Capítulo 66: His confession

Before night fall the villagers that were disguised as bandits invited as to rest in their village for the night.

"We don't have much your highness but please feel free to eat as much as you want." An elder woman said.

"Thank you very much." I replied. "I am not a picky eater so do not worry. Please join me." I smiled. The food on the table can feed the entire village.

I look at the villagers around me. They are thin and frail looking. Food aha been scarce in this drought and my father hasn't done anything for his people.

"Oh no your highness, we do not dare." The elderly woman said. But then a little girl came near me.

"Can I get a little?" The little girl asked.

"Of course you can, all of these are your food. Please feel free to eat with me." I said. And then the little girl smiled widely that melted my heart. She sat down beside me and started to eat.

After a while the other children and villagers started to eat with me as well.
