A Court Of Thorns And Roses -Lucien Vanserra

2

Feyre and I woke as soon as the sun came up. We walked to the market and tried to avoid the children of the blessed. Her sister's tail us, knowing she is going to have money.

"Alright Feyre I'm gonna go ahead. Good luck with that," I said jogging a bit forward, waving and pointing at her sisters as I said that.

Feyre nods knowing my chinanagans. I go first and see the children of the blessed. They try to stop me but I bump into her shoulder and use my slight of hand stealing whatever money she had.

"Ah. Sorry. I'm in a rush," I said as she was about to stop me, I rushed away with a smirk as I turned the corner I pulled out the little bag of money and open it. My lucky day. It's filled with gold pieces. I empty it into my satchel and toss the little bag now empty to the side. I enter the market.

I pass by people casually stealing from them and browsing the stalls to see if I wanted anything. One thing is, I never steel money from stall people. That's my golden rule for when I steel here at the market. I pretend to browse stalls and steel from passerbys. Sometimes I would actually buy stuff from certain stalls. Mostly stuff that reminds me of my brother. Also when I steel  I always put the peoples wallets back in their pockets so they don't know nothing.

I walk past a stall. It sells cheap jewelry but something caught my eye. It was a purple oval pendant held by a black string. It looked like the pendant Baji got me for one of my birthdays. I had lost it a while back when running from the royal knights the night they slaughtered Baji. It has the same crack on it from when I've lost it.

"Excuse me ma'am," I said as I stopped and stared at it.

"Yes how can I help you," she said with a smug smile.

"How much is that pendant?" I asked as I pointed at it.

"It's ten coppers girl. But since it's cracked I'll sell it to you for five coppers," she said.

I pulled out a gold coin and hand it to her,"I'll take it."

She looked at me with a look, " I said only five coppers."

"It's alright. It reminds me of a distant memory is all so it's worth much more to me," I said as I took the pendant and put it on.

I walked past an alley and hear Elaine talking," please don't hurt us. This is all we have"

I was there in an instant. Standing in front of Feyre's sisters being cornered by a male mercenary.

"Wanna die? Get out of my way," but before he could even finish I punched his face with all my strength nocking him unconscious.

I smirk and grab all his money, " here," I tossed his money sack to Elaine and walk away, " enjoy. And leave Feyre alone. Also get rid of his sack. Just take the money."

I leave the ally and head to where my brother's death was. I sit there, no one around to witness. I study the pendant and see that it is indeed the one my brother had given me. It has a B + V engraved messily on the back of it. I stay there for a bit, closing my eyes.

I stay till the sun starts to go down. I get up and head back to the cavern, avoiding the children of the blessed. I soon arrive. After eating dinner and chilling by the fire for a bit I went to bed. Again, a dagger in my hand and my satchel clutched safely in my hand. The only one I trusted was Feyre to not steel from me. Her sister already tried and failed. Feyre got pissed and I almost stabbed Elaine.
