CURSED : The Blue Eyed Maiden [ BTS FF ]

Chapter 72

Author's POV

The daily market was especially crowded because of the lantern festival. The street was filled vendors and tourists from different kingdoms. Different types of goods were sold and the demands were high as the festival was close. The merchants were selling their finest silks, the street smelled like spices, there were lights everywhere, tourists were awed by how beautiful the street looked, and the vendors yelled their goods names, bargaining and clapping loudly to attract the customers.

The women were all dressed in fancy silks, adorned in jewelries, bathed in perfumes, stood in groups of their friends as they eyed the handsome men, batting their eyelashes as the men walked past them. Children chased each other down the street, giggling, couples enjoyed the matching tattoo stores, getting tattoos on their bodies to show their love for each other.

Among the crowd, stood a young man with long brown hair, smoking while following his bestfriend. "Friend? What are you looking at?" He asked the person infront of him with a grin, "See all these beautiful flowers, oh my god. . . Are they waving at us?" He waved back as he eyed the women near the fruit candy stall. "The beauty of north is surely breathtaking huh-"

The younger just smiled and looked away, his eyes glued at the different varieties of exotic herbs from different kingdoms. His eyes sparkled as he sniffed the familiar herbs from his homeland. "I am making a new potion for my mother. She's frail and recently started complaining about sore knees. That's why I am preparing her an effective potion as a gift."
