971 Chapter 971: For no reason
The young prince came out of the alley. He wore the most ordinary clothes he was able to find in the palace. Although those clothes also looked very luxurious, it wasn't enough to reveal his identity.
Many people noticed a young child walking alone on the empty streets of the inner city. Even a few royal guards saw him along the way, but none of them recognised him.
Even inside the palace, only a few people had seen the Prince who was the most protected person in the entire Empire. It was impossible for the city guards to know. The Prince innocently looked at the surroundings. He could see the streets that were filled with people. There were shops all around.
No one recognised him. He felt the true freedom. People were not stepping out of his way so he could get past them. No one was greeting him while lowering their heads. More importantly, no one looked scared of him.
Instead of others stepping aside for him, he had to move aside so he did not hit anyone. It was truly a new experience. He was seeing the sights that he had never seen before.
Previously, the palace was his entire world. But now, his world has become hundreds of times larger.
"Mother was worried for nothing."
While the Prince was walking alone, there was a sweet scent that caught his
attention. He was attracted to a small store that was selling pastries, and he couldn't resist going to the store.
"Do you want one?" The seller asked the young boy. Looking at his attire, he did not think that the boy could not afford it.
The Prince nodded.
The seller handed him the pastry on the plate and without a second thought, the Prince ate it.
"Mmmm, this is good. Why don't you make it available to the palace?" The young boy asked.
"The Palace?" The seller looked at the young boy. "You have quite a good sense of humor for a child. Why would those from the palace buy from us? They probably have their own chefs who are much better than us old folks."
"Are they?" The Prince did not think that they were. He had been eating what they made all his life, so even their delicacies had become very ordinary for him.
Instead, he much preferred the new taste of this pastry.
