Lady Liz was eager to reject the old beggar's pouch. Seeing how shabby and dirty the man was, she was sure the pouch he held out was dirty too.
Why would the princess accept trash for her kindness? It would be better if the old beggar just say thank you, get out of there, and stop bothering them.
However, Rowena accepted the black pouch with a sweet smile on her face. "Thank you, Grandpa. I appreciate this."
Rowena opened the bag. It contains several black seeds. There was nothing special on them. The old man might have taken them from the nearby plants, who knows what these were...
"I'll take good care of them," the princess said and kept the small pouch in her coat pocket.
The old beggar bowed his head so deeply to show his respect to Rowena.
"You are such a wonderful young woman," he said with a smile. "Beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside."
