Chapter 10
Jenny's point of view.
I know you all want an explanation for screaming when we landed and denied Jai, Right? well i have no excuse for that i just thought it would be fun just not expected to have generals patrolling the town.
Miss, what kind of foods are you buying for your sister? a kind maid asked, she was almost my age, beautiful with amazing long hair, i mean what do you put in your hair,
Just get anything tasty, she's not really picky including the flower cakes please she's been dying to try them out
They are called moon cakes not flower cakes is there anything else?
Pick a few for yourself, don't worry about paying
Thank you miss Jenny
Just call me Jenny, alright?
Who do we have here, and I was busy waiting for your arrival at the palace but instead you are here enjoying yourself, a familiar voice said.
Crown prince, I wasn't expecting to see you on the streets but as you know am still healing and it will hurt me more to see the girl that stole my man, am sorry I need more time.
If you can't come to me I'll come for you, is that alright with you?
I can't deny it if that's what you like your highness, I replied politely.
You don't have to address me as your highness in public i don't want to attract attention but instead call me Fai,
Wait Fai and Fu, the famous twins whose names mean the beginning of great wealth.
Yes how did you know I was a twin?
Who doesn't know, its written in all history books which I have never read before but uncle Martin would always talk about how the two brothers hated each other so much they...
What books are you talking about and why do you have so much information about my brother and I?
My big mouth will get me in trouble, I thought, No i didn't imply you, its a story my Uncle used to tell us, I got carried when you said your name was Fai,
How come you never mentioned about your uncle yesterday, are there other things you are hiding?
No your highness i couldn't hide anything even if we wanted his a random man we met after father passed Away he stayed with us in the mountains but he departed and went back to his family we are not sure if his still alive thats why we didn't mention him. ..... So your highness has a brother, is he as good looking as you? I said trying as much as I can to change the topic
We may look the same but I am better than him in many ways and i dont like to talk about him
I won't speak about him in front of you then, would you like to join me shopping?
Sure its not like I have anything better to do i might as well kill time while am here
Let's go and try to keep up there are alot of things i want to try out, I said pulling his hands as we trolled down the streets with the guards distantly following us.

Hours later.
Does shopping take this long? Miss Jenny we have been walking for hours I don't think I can go on any further, the prince complained
But we haven't even gotten half the things i wanted and you are complaining.
Thats because I have never gone shopping before, I am a prince everything was provided for me, he bragged.
alright how about we rest up for some time and then continue, is the fine my prince
Yes please lets rest, he said heading in one of the restaurant and sat next to a window, lets seat here the view is amazing.
You are not wrong the view is indeed amazing, its such a colorful busy street,
Yes it is, people from around the world come to trade here because its peaceful and I hope it stays peaceful forever.
And if war broke out? I asked not wanting to spoil anything for him.
I will fight and protect those that I Can protect, but am willing to die for the country.
You Really love it here,
Well yes you can say that its home after all, he smiled as he sipped his tea still starring outside.
Your highness! guards rushed in disturbing our peaceful moments, Your highness, you need to return back to the palace the streets are not safe. he said .
What's happening? the prince ordered
Black powder was found in a few shops in town we are not sure how many more shops might have the black powder but we have been ordered to have you returned at once.
Who ordered you?
The generals, they a conducting inspection in the other surrounding shops, they sported you here.
Take me to them,
But your highness its dangerous
Its only dangerous if they know am there and right now am just a commoner, do take me there now, he demanded.
Am coming with you, I asked getting up
No miss Jenny its dangerous, its better for you to return home.
Says the prince who wants to be a commoner, if you go there with all the guards you will attract people and am not sure they will want to leave you alone right?
No we cant do that, your highness
So how about I go there with you while the follow you from a distance and i will protect you, you can trust me.
Am supposed to protect you but if you put it like that i have no choice let's go, he agreed,
Your hig.. General Jun was cut off before he could say anything. Fai what are you doing here I strictly told them to take you home and how can they leave you unattended to.
Am not alone, miss Jenny is protecting me with her life, right miss Jenny?
Yes am his guard, and i will be sure to return him in one piece not even a scratch, I said and smiled.
what's happening here? the prince asked.
More black powder has been found, its like they are scattering it around the city am not sure how much they have left. the General explained.
how is it passing through the city gate with such tight security?
Thats because they are using something or someone you cant suspect, I said after studying the environment.
why do you say that miss Jenny.
You need to study the area more you won't be able to find anything now because they are alerted and ..
the warm feeling, the same one I felt at the palace, hit me after a lady passed by us, why did my heart ache so much, I turned to find the lady again
Miss Jenny are you alright, a voice asked unaware of what was happening, the entire world felt heavy and blurry as the woman walked further and she turned back one last time before disappearing into the crowd
Mother?
