This led to the destruction of an entire race of spices and the founding of new worlds and knowledge. it contains tales of unnatural creatures, the crossing of dimensions through portals, and the opening of rems. Keep quiet and listen attentively so you could understand and ask a meaningful questions at the end of the class ).
"Nick! slow down you will knock someone down" yelled the royal Baker at a youth who just dashed past him, making him almost drop the tray of fresh scones he was taken outside to be packed.
" sorry screamed back the youth". I just need to check on the horses and carriages " he replied" as he turned a corner and almost collided with a maid he was just returning after talking towels to the stables.
Nick was a handsome young man with tanned skin due to long hours spent in the sun. Brown hair with the color of acorns held together in the bank in a little ponytail. Broad shoulders developed from training with the guards. Brown eyes that seem to smile, are his most welcoming feature. And though he is one of the King's many bastards. he was everyone's favorite from the servants, legitimate born, and even among the Queens.
The place of Brown city was in an uproar in preparations for the Grand tour of the kingdom by the princesses and princes both legitimate and bastard alike. Nick as usual has put it upon himself to make sure everything is in the right order and ready for the long journey.
Nick arrived at the stables through the door connecting the stables to the castle. just like everywhere else in the palace, the stables were huge, it housed horses of every breed. And many of these horses were being tethered to carriages by stables hards they were more than usual since more were temporarily employed to help with the preparations. Fifteen carriages in all. seven carriages for the legitimate princess and the bastard princess were to share six carriages two to one. (though the king expects all his children to be treated equally the queens try as much as possible to make sure their children get better things.) One carriage for princess Samantha betrothed to the Crown Prince Cravter. And the last, The princes were determined to make the tour by horseback, and the little Prince couldn't stay long on horseback.
Nick strolled towards a figure who was bent over, inspecting the hoof of a mare.
"Hey, Fred! is everything okay over here?" Asked Nick.
The figure straightened and turn to look at Nick with a grim. He had close crop black hair eyes the color of the sky, high check bones, and a chiseled chin. His body was of a termed bulk.
Brother! I told you I can handle everything about the horses and carriages or don't you trust me with this little task? He asked with his head dent inquisitively and his hands on his hips.
"Oh no! of course, I trust you who else can take better care of our transportation but you? I was just wondering if you need any help?"
Well no I don't need your help, now shut, off, with you, go brother someone else, " Fred said while pushing Nick out the door and into the courtyard.
The courtyard was nothing less than organized chaos. It was packed with wagons which were being loaded with barrels of other creates and trucks, mules we were being healed with a sack of grains, flour, and other provisions for the tour. There would be enough till they get to the next City to restock on supply. A young man with the same dark hair as Fred, but is shoulder length, and same blue eyes as his, but that was where the resemblance Fere had with his twin brother. Fere features weren't as chiseled as Fred's. He looks more like a too big overfed body, with his chubby face and round thinly. he was holding a tad and ticking it with a gun when Nick approached him.
"I can see everything is under control here, " started Nick.
" yes, I think so! just that the Baker isn't out with the bread yet". replied Fere checking his tab for the one thing that has not been ticked.
"Oh don't worry about that, I just passed him in the hallway sometime ago heading this way. And I guess we won't be having just bread but scones too".
" is that so?" said Fere asked smiling broadly. "We better eat those quickly before they become stale".
would they become stale or do you just want them in your stomach as soon as possible?" said Nick as he playfully hit Fere's protruding stomach and dodged as he attempted to hit his head with the tab and ran towards the servant's quarters.
