Paris, the most beautiful city in the world some would say. Ever since Napoleon became Emperor it seemed like everything changed. "Yn! What are you doing, we have customers!" A deep voice hissed out. Yn spun around to see her boss glaring at her. "I-I'm coming just give me a moment please." Yn stuttered, looking down at the six year old sniffling and wiping her tears away. "I'll be back soon, stay strong for me please." She said, kissing the girl's forehead and giving her an encouraging smile. The girl nodded before sitting down on the wooden bucket in the corner where some nude women were trying to get ready for their clients.

Yn couldn't help but glance back at her. It's been two years since her husband died in the war and now having to raise their daughter on her own in a place like this was something she never wanted, but she had no choice. "You need to spend more time getting clients instead of dilly dallying with Adelyn. If you're not going to work then why should we keep you around?" The male hissed before shoving her back into the front of the tavern where multiple drunk men were, laughing and groping women. Oh how Yn felt sick, while she never enjoyed sex work it was the only thing she could do at the time to keep them both alive. Putting on the best smile she could muster she made her way to a middle aged noble, running a hand down his chest before sitting down in his lap.

Light shined through the silky white curtains, the fluffy blanket keeping Yn warm, making it hard for her to want to leave. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked around the room. She was in a noble man's room, evident by all the silk and gold as well at the middle aged man snoring in the bed with her. When seeing this she slowly stood up, looking for her clothes. When she found the dirty white gown she was wering the night before she slipped in. She put on her slippers and sighed, her head aching from all the alcohol she had to consume. Yn noticed the vanity and stared into the mirror on it. She looked beautiful, even if her lipstick was slightly smeared, hut an easy fix. Her hair was messy, and her gown was slightly see through which didn't help. A beautiful woman in a mansion with a see through gown was askign for trouble. Looking around she saw a fur blanket leaying on a chair in the corner near some bookshelves.

When she noticed this she snatched it, and made sure to take the bag of gold coins laying on the chair as well, for at least some comensation for the night before. All he had given her were a few silcer coins, she deserved more than that for her services, this was just pocketchange to a man like him, Yn was sure he wouldn't notice it was gone.

Once she got what she needed she fled the room and down the long hallway, avoiding any servants she saw on her way. WHile they paid her no mind they did give her a few strange glances. Letting out a huff she made it to the kitchen where a few female servants were preparing breakfast. When they saw her they gave her a smile. Yn smiled back, bowing her head. "Good morning." She whispered. Suddenly and older servant came up to her with an apple. "Take this before you leave, I'm sure you're starving." She said, causing Yn to smile. "Thank you ma'am," She whispered, staring down at the apple for a few moments beforr making her way to the door.

Once out of the mansion she hurried to the city before the noble could wake up and made her way to the market. With the money she would be able to afford a nice meal for her and Adelyn for once instead of them just eating bread and wine every morning.

Making her way to a familiar stand she smiled at the woman behind it who seemed shocked to see her. "Yn! It's so good to see you! I hope you and Adelyn are doing well, I haven't seen you both since your husband's funeral." She said and Yn nodded, happy to see the woman. "Yes we're doing well, I just wanted to get us something to eat, we haven't been able to have a nice breakfast for a while so might as well spoil her." She said and the woman nodded. "Always good to spoil your kids, here I have just the think." She muttered, ducking down and scanning through the shelves underneath her before finding what she needed. "Here, it's some honey cake. I remember Adelyn adored the ones I made I'm sure she'll be so happy to have one again."
