A Little Trip Outside The Palace

Aimee chuckled seeing Arielle's blushing face. Hearing Aimee's laughter, Arielle realized their original purpose.

"I-I… want to get some more paint and brushes," she said.

Irene didn't really follow Arielle and the shop owner's conversation. She was focused on the painting displayed on every wall of the shop. They were really beautiful. It looked realistic, but Irene knew that it was made by human hands.

After shopping for the things she needed, Arielle took Aimee and Irene to buy her favorite snack, a sandwich and a crepe sold at a roadside in the square. William followed closely after putting everything Arielle had bought into the carriage.

Arielle bought a crepe with Frostberry jam, so did Irene who always imitated whatever she chose, while Aimee bought herself a turkey sandwich. Arielle didn't forget to buy one for William and some for the guards who were waiting near the carriage.
