" Come Caroline, before those old men come let's try the candy." Said Arc, while pulling Caroline.
" What? I can't eat candy, it's forbidden." Said Caroline in a sad tone.
" WHAT?!" Said Arc while stopping in his tracks. " You can't eat candy? How is this possible?!"
" I am the third princess after all, it's improper to eat candy."
" What improper? I have read that even Great Saints ate candies, if even beings of such level could eat candies then you can also." Said Arc.
" There was a Great Saint who ate candy? Who? How come i have never read of it?" Said the Princess in a confused tone.
" Great Saint Warrick of course."
" Impossible, Great Saint Warrick is one of the most respected people in history. There is no way he would eat candy." Said Princess Caroline.
" O? And how do you know that he didn't eat candy? I am positive that he ate candy." Said Arc while thinking. ' Princess i am Warrick, of course i know if i ate candy or not.'
" W-Well there aren't any records of him eating candy."
" Then he ate candy."
" How do you kn-." Just as Caroline was about to finish her sentence, Arc interrupted her.
" Look that is the candy, let's go." After saying that, he took her hand and pulled her to the candy shop.
The candy shop was a local bakery that also sold candies, it was the only shop in the village that sold candies so as you can guess, that is their main income.
" Hello Mr.Walker, who are you?" Said Arc while waving at the shop owner." And miss Nicole, it seems like you have grown even more beautiful." Miss Nicole is the wife of Walker and the one who creates the candies.
" Ah, Arc it's so good to see you, come here and tell me where were you? Even when you were sick in the past, you would still come here to buy candy." Said Nicole while hugging Arc.
" I went to the forest to train." Said Arc.
" No wonder you smell like shit." Said Walker while looking at Arc. " So how many candies do you want?"
"First of all, that was rude secondly, enough candies for a month." Said Arc while looking at Walker.
" Impossible, where do you want me to find so many candies." Said Walker with anger in his voice.
" Come on, don't lie to me, i am your most loyal customer." Said Arc.
" True we have enough candy for someone to last a month, but you Arc eat at least double the amount a person eats in a month. We simply don't have that amount of candy."
" Ahh, i see, then give normal portions." Said Arc with a sad voice.
" Why do you need so many candy Arc?" Said Nicole.
" I won't be able to come here for at least a month." Said Arc.
" Why? Did something happen?" Said Nicole with a worried voice.
" There is a very high chance that i will be grounded and i know that my punishment will be to not eat candy for a month. So i need to buy some now." Said Arc.
" By the way, i forgot to ask you, but who is that cute little child Arc?" Said Nicole while looking at Caroline.
" Oh, she is a friend of mine, her name is Caroline." Said Arc while introducing Caroline.
" Nice to meet Caroline." Said Nicole while looking at Caroline.
Unfortunately, Caroline didn't pay any attention to her, or everyone else in fact. She is looking at the candy with an amazing expression while there was drool dripping from her mouth.
When Arc noticed, that he slapped her on her shoulder and said.
" Wake up princess." After saying that Arc looked at Nicole.
" Please prepare my candy, oh and give some to Caroline to try, if she likes any of them put them on the bag, i will pay for them."
" Ok."
Arc then left the two of them and went to Walker to talk to him.
20 minutes later, everything was ready, Arc paid with the coins he got from the bandits and left along with Caroline.
" Come princess let's go eat." After saying that Arc went to a small bench and sat down. Caroline followed him while eating a candy.
" See what did i tell you? Candy is amazing." Said Arc while looking at Caroline.
" They taste so goooood. When i get back home i will definitely buy more of them, even if father gets mad." Said Caroline.
After a couple of minutes, both of them heard the sound of people running. When they turned their back to see what was going on, they saw the village head along with Blake running at them.
" *Cough* Your royal highness, it's an honor to meet you. *Bow* I am the village head of this village, please follow me, i will take you to my house where you will be staying until people of the royal family come to take you." Said the old man.
" I understand village head." After saying that Caroline got up from the bench, turned to Arc, and bowed to him while saying. " Thank you Arc for saving my life, i will forever remember this favor for the rest of my life."
" No problem Princess, now go, i am sure that quite a few people are worried about you." Said Arc.
" That is correct, village head let's go to your home."
" Of course, as for you Arc i believe it's time for you to go home, correct?" Said the Village Head while looking at Arc.
" Of course old man, now go don't make the princess wait." Said Arc.
After their small talk, the Princess along with the Head and Blake went to the village head home.
'*Mental sigh* Time to go home.'
