Epithet Erased Royal AU

Chapter 1: Molly's Way Of Life

In Bearclaw Creek, Life is simple and boring. The villagers talk and do stuff a villager would do. People who have Epithets would do Epithet Stuff and Princess Molly is to never leave the palace.

Molly sits in her bedroom looking out the window. She sighs and puts her head down. Life isn't very simple for her. Not because she's the princess, but because she wants a life of adventure. Weird for a depressed 12 year old girl to say that but Molly's Molly, y'know?

"And yeah." Molly said lying on her bed. Sylvie, her royal therapist was sitting on a chair and writing things down on a magic mirror tablet. "So, how do you feel about it, M'lady?" Sylvie asked her. "Like, all I want to do is actually leave the castle for a bit." Molly replied.

All her life, she lived in the castle and never went outside. Her father strictly forbid it after her mother Queen Loren died. He wanted to keep her and her epithet safe from the Nightmare Queen. "Molly, you know your father is strict about leaving the castle, right?"

"I know! I just want one day where I can actually see the sun not just from my window!" She got off her bed and looked in her closet. A cloak, the brighest green with a little mask sewn into it. She made it herself and wore it whenever she snuck into the village. "So, im gonna sneak out right now!" Molly said and put it on. "M'lady! You really can't go out right now in morning time!" Sylvie tried to stop her but she was already out the window. He ran to the window and looked down. She had landed where Percy was. In the royal garden.

"Oof." Molly yelped as she landed on a bush. Percy was just looking at the flowers and heard her. "Hello, Princess." She said. "I presume you're sneaking out again?" Percy looked at her. "Percy! Its Bear Trap right now!" Molly said shushing her. "Right. I see." Percy sat down. "Where in the village are you going right now?" She questioned Molly's motive for this week.

"To get something to eat. I have a few coins left to get something from the market. Chocolate even if I have enough." Molly explained. She had been saving up the entire week for atleast a good loaf of bread exported from Soopensope and maybe some chocolate with it.

"I'll be right back, ok?" Molly said to her. "Don't come with me, Percy. It's gonna only be a few minutes." Percy nodded and went back to looking at the flowers. "Just be back before sundown." Percy said before the princess left. "Got it!" Molly shouted and closed the garden door quietly.

She ran to the village with her satchel and bag full of coins in it. The village was such a nice place to be. A crowd of people talking at every corner. She loved quiet, yes but the village had a bustle around every corner and it was lovely.

Molly looked around for the market and found a guy with a yellow cloak with a little bandana on it. That was the trader from Soopensope. She walked over to the guy. "Hello, good sir." Molly said fixing her cloak. The yellow cloaked man looked at her. "Ah, if it isnt my favorite customer. What can I get for you, Bear Trap?" He looked down at her.

Molly placed her bag of coins on the counter. "One loaf of bread and chocolate if you can." She asked. "Got it." Yellow Cloak said. He went to the back. "MOOOOOM!! ONE LOAF OF BREAD AND A BRICK OF CHOCOLATE!!" He yelled. "OK!!" His mom yelled and a few seconds later she passed the loaf of bread and brick of chocolate to him. The brick was heavy so he put that on the counter first. The loaf of bread Molly took and put in her satchel.

She picks up the heavy brick of chocolate and puts it in her bag. She closes the satchel and puts it on. She falls over because of how heavy the chocolate is. "You need help?" YC asked. "Yeah." She said. "MOM! TAKE CARE OF THE CASHIER WHILE I MAKE THE DELIVERY!!!" He yelled at the back. "BE THERE IN A MINUTE!!" His mom yelled again.

YC picked up the satchel. It was very light for him. Not. He also struggled to pick up the satchel. "You need help?" Bear Trap asked him. "Y-Yes." YC said. So, they both held the satchel and carried it to the castle.

Once they got to the garden door, they put down the heavy satchel. Bear Trap knocked on the door. Percy opened it. "Hello, Bear Trap." She said. "Who is this?" Percy added. "Uh..my name is...Yellow Cloak Guy!" YC stuttered. "Nice to meet you." She said.

Bear Trap walked inside pushing the satchel. "Let me get that." Percy picked up the satchel like it was nothing. Molly waved to YC and closed the garden door. YC took off his hood and sighed. "That hood was getting hot." It was the prince of Soopensope named Giovanni Potage. He too desired a life of adventure. But for him? Well, he wanted a life of crime. But also to be king. A king of criminals, I mean.

So, Giovanni walked all the way back to the village putting his hood back on. Soon, he'll get to do crime at night as Vincent Murder.
