Hunter looked around in complete awe. People bustled around the two princes paying barely any attention to either. Hunter felt like a normal person for once, not treated like a higher up. He twirled around to stare at Edric, mouth wide open.

 "This place is amazing" he finally gets out after a few seconds "I can't belive I've never been here" he grins trying to suppress the excitement that was built up in his chest. He didn't have any desire to come here until this moment. Now he wanted to be here forever. This place was almost enchanting.

Edric let out a small breathy laugh, almost a giggle, at Hunter's excitement "C'mon let's look around," Hunter feels Edric link arms with him. "Alright-" Hunter grins nervously.

Edric walks around leading him to small town Square, there seemed to be a flea market going on. "C'mon let's look around" Hunter grins practically dragging Edric to the stands. He looks around excitedly spinning to look at a the shops. "Wow-"he beams speeding over to a stand and immediately engaging in a friendly conversation with the merchant.

Edric stands there watching him speak with the lady behind the counter. She seemed to be selling a variety of different items. They ranged from strange to beautiful to just plain useless. He could see why Hunter was so intrigued by it. He chuckles a little before turning to another shop, he wanted to look around a little. 

He walks up to another stand, it had a lot of knick knacks most crystals and jewelry "how much for that..?" He asks the girl behind the counter, pointing to a gold brooch with a beautiful magenta crystal in the middle. 

"100 snails" The lady smiles "are you buying it for yourself?" He asks curiously 

"Huh? Oh, no I want a gift for my friend" Edric beams at the merchant behind the counter. He pulls out a pouch placing 100 snails (currency) on the table.

"I bet they'll love it, it sure itsm's beautiful" she laughs taking the money and gently placing the brooch in his hand. She gives him a sweet smile "have a good day," she waves.

"You too" He turns with a wave before returning to Hunter's side. "Hey cutie" he nudges him "I said don't call me that," he rolls his eyes playfully "Hello" he laughs 

"We should probably be heading back before they notice we're missing" Edric sighs

"Aww.." Hunter frowns "alright-" 

They both start walking towards the path back to the castle. Edric was surprised no one had noticed Hunter, it seemed strange the entire kingdom didn't notice its prince. He shrugged off the weird feeling continuing to stride along next to Hunter.
