Once upon a time...

II

*Joshua*

Me and Jeonghan were turning 18 in a week and well, princes turning 18 means business, and it's become a tradition to make it a big party, so today me and Jeonghan will go out to buy stuff for the party

"I'm sure we'll find everything today so we don't need to make second trips." The castle seneschal said with a checklist in his hands

We come to a stop and the carriage door opens, revealing Seungcheol one of the royal guards, my brother looks a bit surprised but I ignore it and step out of the carriage

"This is the closest bakery to the castle your majesty." Seneschal Roven said coming out of the carriage after my brother

Seungcheol leads us to the front door and opens the door revealing the most delicious smell

"Wow, it smells amazing." My brother looked around the small bakery, it did smell very nice

"Oh my." A woman in a light blue dress and flour over her hands comes out behind the counter, doing a small curtsy "What can I get your majesties?" She said with a smile

I loved the people from the kingdom

"We were looking...to see if you guys could bake the cake for our birthday." My brother said beside me

The poor woman looked shocked

Could they bake a 10-layered cake in a week?

"I..." she was in shock "Of course, it would be an honor." Roven comes with the instructions about the cake to the counter and starts explaining to her what to do

"What's our next stop Seungcheol?" I asked and he looked at me

"The kingdom's village." I nod, noticing Roven coming back and the woman with a basket of bread in her arms

"These are for you two." Jeonghan takes the basket smiling at the kind woman

"Thank you." Me and my brother say in unison

*

We insisted Roven on letting us walk through the village with the company of Seungcheol, promising nothing crazy would happen. As we walk we see people stare and smile, I mean it's not every day we come out of the castle

"Darling look, those are the twin princes." I hear a mother say to her child in her arms, my brother suddenly stops

"Jeonghan?" I look over at him, he is crouched on the floor talking to a little girl

"You majesty, could maybe me and my sisters braid your hair?" The little girl with brown eyes and brown hair asked, she was adorable

"Braid? Well, why not?" Holding the little girl's hand he gets dragged to a little chair, and the girls start brushing and decorating his hair

Jeonghan's hair wasn't long but not too short, perfect for a braid, while I watched the girls braid Jeonghan's hair, I noticed some commotion to my left side

"Seungcheol I'll be right back." I said not giving time for Seungcheol to give me a response, as I got close to the commotion I noticed it was the goldsmith area

"You can't just steal sir!" I young girl said

"You're a woman, I can do whatever I want and no one will stop me!" The man with various silver plates in hand said

"Stealing is prohibited sir, if you want I can get the castle guards for you." I said coming next to him, he didn't notice who I was yet

"Like those stupid castle guards are gonna listen to you." He looks at me and stops, the silver plates almost fall to the floor but I catch them with ease, I like having some authority, its satisfying
