You quickly drank the glass of water beside your table.

That stupid dream again in your pathetic days. Sighing you changed yourself into an dress to go to town. Taking off your clothes you wore your undergarments and the corset and fitting into the brown dress and a straw hat and a basket.

Exiting yourself out in your room with only 4 gold coins in  your pocket and out of the secret base. 


4 gold coins is equal to 4000 silver coins which can last me 2 months or so. Haizzz.

First i should go buy bread, milk, strawberry jam, vegetables, meat, and cheese. As for my left over  money maybe i could buy myself  new clothes or accessories.

Snapping back to reality you suddenly stop walking as you saw a crowd gathering at the plaza. Feeling curious, you walked there and saw the official announcement of the royal imperial family. 

It was official.

The Empire of Laurenszia has aged war on the Empire of Regalia our homeland. It is stated if the 6th princess, Princess Isabella Beatriz Victoria Granduria doesn't appear in 1 month the Empire will start a war.

"Curse that princess!"

"What will happen to our Empire!?"

"How brainless are those royals and nobles!"

"This is why taxes are high nowadays tsk tsk!"

Disappointed rants and murmurs of the people whilst reading the paper plastered on the plaza's bulletin board.

Sighing you went off to the market and bought what you need to buy.

"How much is that all?"


"Let's see hmmm.... Vegetables 13 bronzes, dairy 29 bronzes and fruits 19 bronzes, 61 bronze coins in total miss."

The shopkeeper said while putting all of my purchased goods in my basket. You handed the money to the old lady and walked away. As you exit out of the crowded market you started walk down in the streets filled with many fancy shops that only can be afforded by the wealthy.


Passing by a store, something caught my eye. It was a rose pink dress sewed with laces and rose patterns, heels, gloves, parasol along with an feathered hat in the display. The glass window illuminated your figure in the fancy dress.

It must be nice wearing those clothes and walking around the streets or tea parties.

I wonder how much is this set?

As you were about to enter the shop, someone pushed you off causing you to fall off the floor on your butt and drop your food basket making your glass of milk and jam shatter.

"Filthy peasant, get out of my shop your scaring away my customers! or are you planning on stealing something on my shop!?"

The owner yelled.  You glared at him and picked up the food that was left on the floor. Your dress was soaked in milk, jam and dirt making you look unsightly and sticky.


"I was only looking, I'm not planning either in stealing anything."

A crowd started gather around you.

"Thats why i hate peasants."

"Ew she looks unsightly."

"Who let such an peasant to roam around the royal capital?"


You only sat in the dirty ground tightly holding the basket doing nothing but feeling humiliated. A few moments later you felt someone draping an coat behind your back.
