I walked around the market with this naïve one by my side.
She was looking so excited. Eyes sparkling at every shop we passed. Mouth hanging open at displays she found interesting.
Complete opposite of what she had claimed earlier.
'Scared my ass.'
She was peeking into every store as if she had never seen such things in her own kingdom. As if the royal palace didn't have a hundred times better merchandise.
Infact, I should be the one getting excited. This was my first time in the capital. Not hers.
When I was busy observing the surroundings, she grabbed my sleeve.
YANK.
Pulled me toward her.
"Goonman! There! I need those!"
She pointed at an Artificial Jewellery Shop.
'Goonman.'
That was the name I had given her. It had a certain vibe to it. And more importantly, I didn't want to give her my real name.
The less a princess knew about me, the better.
I just followed her into the shop.
