1 - Exiled

Persia was strained by the two knights.

"Pesia Moon will be stripped of her title as the crowned princess and therefore will be exiled in Hebreo Kingdom" The Emperor declared. The color on Persias face almost lost its color as of her blood was drained.

She was accused of harming her fiancee by poisoning him but the posion was intended for countess!

She was dragged away from the room amd before she realizes it she was already riding the carriage towards Hebreo.

She clench her fist.Hebreo was known for poverty. And she who was born as a noble will be disposed there unprepared. She was not able to take some of her jewelries or clothes!

She cant still believe what is happening. She just wanted to erase the woman who seduced her fiancee. She always get what she wanted whether in a moral or in gruesome way.

She clench the pouch that was handed

to her as a mere compensation. A golden coins to start her life as a commoner!

What can a pouch of golden coin can even do compare to her countless spending of money before?

She doesnt have anyone now. She is alone.

The sudden voice of the coachman awoken her of her stupor.

"We have arrived"

She went down on the carriage without anyone offered its hand to her. She stared at the small house with creased forehead.

She slowly walked towards the door and opened it. Its more look like an abandoned house.

She entered and run her fingers at the table. It was dusty. A sign that one had live there for years.

She stared at her clothes. It would be troublesome to wear such clothes in the place.

She went out and scan the area. The coachman already left.

She walk towards the nearest house and knocked.

When the door opened she was greeted by a woman who was about in her fiftees.

The woman look at her with wide eyes. "A noble?" The woman asked herself.

"Hello" Persia greeted not knowing how to interact with commoners and only said the first word came to her mind.

"Oh hello may I ask what the madam needed?" The woman asked flustered at the appearance of the young lady who seems to be a noble.

"I am noble who was stripped of her own title and I want to ask if you can spare me some clothes that i can wear. I will pay for it" Persia asked. She doesnt have any plans to lie and what for.

The woman suddenly felt emotional. A young noble who was stripped of her own title? How unfortunate. How can she even live not knowing anything? Can she even cook? Or wash her own clothes?

"Do you have someone with you?" The woman asked worriedly.

"I am alone. I live there" Persia replied pointing at the small house near them.

"I see. Come inside while you wait." The woman offered and they both entered.

Persia satdown at the table. The woman began to rummage at the closet near the window.

"How old are you?" The woman asked curiously.

"I am nineteen" Persia replied. It was a marriagble age. The woman wondered why she was suddenly exiled but she did not dare to ask not wanting to sadden the young woman.

"Oh the same age with my nephew" The woman said smiling as he finally saw the clothe she was trying to find.

"Here I only use it twice when i was the same age as you" She handed two pairs of clothe to her.

She accepted it and began to untie her pouch.

"Oh dear no need for payment you can use it in your everyday needs" The woman chuckled.

"Thank you" Persia blushed in embarassment.

Persia was also confuse so she asked the woman. "Are you also alone?"

"Oh no dear My husband went to the forest to hunt for dinner He will be back at noon"

"Wheres your children?" Persia asked again in curiousity.

"My son is already married so my Nephew only come here often to visit us"

Persia nodded when her curiousty was already answered.

"I will be going then Thank you for your kindess"

"Youre welcome you can always come here if you need anything dont hesitate"

"Thank you"

Persia walked back in the small house and change her clothes and began to wipe the dirty room. She tear her expensive clothe since she cant use it there so she can use it as her rag.

She did not notice that change has already started within her. She doesnt know how to say her gratitude before but meeting a warm person suddenly change her.

She stare at the window. She wash her hands and the make up on her face at the nearest river and went her way holding some coins in her hands. She has to find food before it gets dark.

She tied her hair using the ribbon from her clothes and went towards the town.

Theres a lot of people gathered. The stall who sells bread caught her attention. She doesnt know how to cook so it might be enough to fill her stomach.

"Hi beautiful young lady what can i get for you" The old woman said. Persia smiled not realising it since the old womans flattery.

"How much here?" Persia pointed at the long bread.

"Only for two silver coins" The old woman said. But she has golden coins in her hand and it cost hunded silver coins.

"Can i have two and how much here?" She asked pointing at the bread wrapped in paper. It resembles the cake.

"Only five silver coins"

"I will have two" Persia said and handed the golden coin. She remembered her neighbor and she will give it as her gratitude for giving her clothes.

The old woman handed her the change.

"Thank you beautiful young lady come back again" The old woman said.

She cant believe the one golden coin can already buy a lot of bread.

She began to stroll around to find something that she can use.

She saw a stall that sells blanket. She immidiately went towards it.

"How much here?" Persia asked pointing at the thickest blanket. She needed a thick blanket to lay on since she doest have a soft mattress.

"Twenty silver coins" The man replied.

"Can i have two" Persia asked and the man tied the two mattress together.

She handed her payment. But to her dismay it was difficult for her to carry it since she was already carrying a bed.

" Rogelio!" The man yelled noticing the struglle of the young lady.

"Come and help the young lady" The man in his twenties strode towards her and helped her.

"Thanks" She can only say since she cant refuse.

They both walk towards her new house.
