2 1.2 The girl wearing cloak

"I would like to have some sweet buns please.", A man with curly hair asked Mrs. Smith.

"Sure sure. How many?", Mrs. Smith asked. A smile was spread across her face. Mrs. Smith was a fluffy, curly-haired woman in her late 40s. Her bakery "Smith and Sweet" was famous in these towns. The man purchased a dozen buns and left.

"Such a fine young fellow.", Mrs. Smith thought of the man.

"Dom!", A girl called the man as soon as he came out of the shop.

"My lady!", The man murmured and walked towards her.

"What did you get today?", She asked.

"Sweet Buns. Here.", Dominique gave his master a fluffy bun out of the bag.

"It smells nice.", the girl smelled it and took a bite. "Mmm… It's delicious." Looking at his master, enjoying the food made Dominique's heart at ease.

"Why are they here?", The girl asked suddenly. Dominique looked at the direction she was looking at. Two people dressed in the uniform were walking across the street in a hurry. "Maybe some patrolling," Dominique suggested.

"No." The girl stood up. She shook off her clothes and stuffed the remaining bun in her mouth and said, "Meet me at the town's bell at 3 PM. I need to check these things out."

"Your Highness.", Dominique cried. "You shouldn't go alone. Let me accompany you."

"No Dom. You need to find shelter for us to say.", The girl said meaningfully. "Those men are from the army. I've seen them when we were at the border of this town."

Dominique couldn't stand a chance against his master in arguing. Although she was much younger than him, by around 8 years, Dominique knew her well. 'She won't listen.' He thought.

"Are you listening?" The girl was asking glaring at him with her dark eyes. By then she had worn the hood on her head. "Give me one more puff." She demanded.

"Then, I'm off." She walked swiftly in the direction of those two men. Her height was more than an average woman but not enough to grab any attention. Anyway, who would think that the princess of Abanthus was here in Stovaria, in the country which is the most dangerous place for her to be at? Dominique signaled his men. Four men started walking towards the direction the princess went.
