Wu Jinmai's POV
I wasn't expecting to bump them into the market. I thought they left the palace early this morning.
I guess I have to accept that I will always bump into them, no matter how I try to keep myself away from their sight. But two men join the gang.
"Greetings, Your Highnesses," they both say. I smiled and raised my hand.
"No need for formality, and I wished to keep my title off me while I'm outside. Anyway, happy summer festival to all of you. We have to go," I stated.
I was about to walk when someone pulled the sleeve of my clothes. I turn around and look down. I saw a dirty girl looking at me. I crouch down and look at her.
"Can I ask for food?" she sweetly asks.
I smiled and gave her the paper bag I was holding. "What is your name, sweetheart?" I ask. She looks puzzled.
"I apologize for that. Take care of yourself, okay?" I utter.
