Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate - 159 chapter 159.

” They might be doing their business here, instead of doing it inside the market because of the high supply there,” Aeinshia thought as such.

Since city shelter is famous, and only tourists visit, supply is more compared to demand now. So, it is only reasonable if few continued their business outside the market to gain some profit, knowing, people only prefer to visit famous eating restaurants and places inside the market.

Seeing the old man, placing all his tools, this only tells that, he is taking perfect advantage of passerbys to the temple, by selling some juice here, quenching their thirst. So even if he sold for some price compared to the market, people could only buy it, as they left with no choice.

“Smart~” Aeinshia internally exclaimed as such.

The little boy rushed towards Aeinshia, with his small foot steps. He looked too adorable to not stop peeking at him. The large pot almost covered his head, and the pot might have been heavy too, considering it’s size. Yet, the little child didn’t give up and came rushing towards her.

Soon reaching her end, the little boy strechted his hands, which is holding the pot. Aeinshia immediately took hold of the pot. Aeinshia was caught off gaurd and she might have dropped the pot if she was any little careless. The pot is heavier than she thought and wondered how that little kid carried it with ease.

” Should I increase my stamina? Guess, I became too delicate and weak to not even strong enough to carry a pot now, ” Aeinshia commented on herself internally and made her way towards George.

Noticing her highness come towards him, George immediately placed his sword in its rightful place. That is, he returned back the sword to it’s sheath. He isn’t a kid to not understand Aeinshia’s purpose of coming towards him. He immediately grabbed the pot, while Aeinshia stretched her hands, allowing him to successfully get access to hold the pot properly.

” Please take care of it for a while in my stead, ” Aeinshia asked George politely, to which he replied with a nod which showed his acknowledgment.

Aeinshia smiled back and made her way towards the young boy, ” Little child, what’s your name? ” She enquired.

Listening to her question, the child immediately started to cry.

Wah~ wahhh~

Aeinshia baffled at his response for her question. It’s not like she did anything rude or went over board in dealing with him. So it must be that, he is a cry baby and she know how well she need to take care of such babies.

Aeinshia bent on one leg, as she held the little boy by his shoulders.

Hic~ hic~ ” Mom… Momma…. Mommaa… ” The boy called out helplessly, as he felt it hard to day or continue rest of his words.

Aeinshia frowned listening to him and was about to ask further, which got interrupted by the old man.

” Sorry to worry you miss. This is my grand child as I told before. We are in below poverty line and we can only get food to eat if everyone in our family works daily or else, we will be starved. Recently, the farming too didn’t go well with us and hence his mother could only go out for work and left his care on me. She went to find some work in the city. Since he is still young, he still didn’t get used to being away from his mother. Hope you don’t get it wrong, ” He hurriedly explained the whole situation. He could only make up a lie at the last moment or else his family would be in danger.

Aeinshia fell into silence and stood their quietly as she pacified the child by caressing his back with affection.

” Don’t cry. Momma is working for you. This isn’t something a brave boy should do. Don’t cry, ” She tried her best to console this young lad, as consoling others was always hard for her.

Hic~ hic~

The young lad sniffled, but stopped crying listening to her words. Though he is young, he sensed his mother is in danger and he wanted to help her, but he got dragged out by his grandfather and didn’t know what to do.

He thought of seeking this nice miss help, but sensing his grand father’s glare at him, he again fell into silence, but didn’t leave Aeinshia’s hand and tugged her fingers.

” That’s a good boy now. Do you need anything? ” She asked the lad again, thinking he might ask for any candies.

The boy didn’t say anything, but instead, held her hand tightly and didn’t wished to leave her hold. He felt safe and secure around her and he don’t wish to go back to his house, but he knew, he can’t stay here like this. His family is waiting for him, but he is afraid. Is it wrong to feel fear facing such situation at such an young age?

He still got a chance to save his family, despite cowering inside the corner. He just need to find a perfect timing, without his grandfather knowing it. If his grand father caught a whiff of it, then he wouldn’t surely allow it.

Aeinshia too didn’t say anything to the child, instead took a socket from her pocket and passed it to the old man, only to get refused back.

Aeinshia strected the socket of gold coins for him to take, ” Please take it as a return gift for honey, ” She passed the hold bag to him.

The old man reflexively waved his hands into a no and spoke, ” Please. We don’t need it. Its a gift out of gratitude for the imperial family hardworking towards the glory of nation and the empire. It’s for their thoughtfulness to take care of us all along these years. Please don’t value it by money, ” He spoke, as if he got offended by Aeinshia’s actions.

Aeinshia felt loss of words. Indeed her actions can be misunderstood, ” You got me wrong. Trying to value your present was never my intention. It’s just a token of return gift, ” She assured him back.

” Miss, this peasant here can’t accept it. This money, we don’t deserve it. If you really wish to help us, you can buy our special grape juice nectar. I can assure you, you can’t find such good juice any where near this city. It is hand made by our family ” He spoke, as he began to execute his plan. His plan will complete once they drank this drink.

Aeinshia nodded her head understandingly.

” Might be his self-esteem stopping him from accepting the gold coins. Then I guess it is only good to accept his drink, ” Aeinshia thought and nodded her head.

” So what will you use in making it? ” She asked, just to be sure. They need to clear about what will he be adding in the juice.

” Miss, grapes are main ingredient in it and instead of normal sweeteners, we use honey making it less sweet and more natural and extremely delicious…..” He spoke and gave the full procedure to her.

“Oh… Ok, then please use this honey, ” Aeinshia told, as she directed her gaze towards the pot in George hand, which she gave him to hold earlier. They are on a journey, and it is only nest for them to carry as much luggage as possible.

” As ordered, ” Saying that, the old man went to his set up of tools and began making the juice.

He got engrossed in his work. Noticing it’s his time to execute his plan, he dugged derp inside his pocket and the little lad passed a note to Aeinshia secretly. He carefully held inside his plam and passed it to Aeinshia like it.

Aeinshia frowned noticing the kid to insert something, but didn’t speak anything and simply took the note out. She saw few scribbled words and didn’t understand what was that. She thought the kid might have bought it to give it to her, while he simply stared back at her.

She immediately took the note and tugged inside her pocket.

Soon enough, the old man shifted his attention back to the princess.

Nearing Aeinshia, while carrying a large bottle in his hands, he spoke, ” Miss, I hope the princess will enjoy this drink, ” Saying that he gave the drink to her and grinned happily inside. That’s it, his part and purpose to come here is over. He finally did as ordered.
