Chapter 14 - Yuki turns an unexpected encounter with a drunk old man and a dramatic prince into a funny and memorable scene in a busy market

Have you ever been minding your own business and suddenly walked into someone else's big drama? Like walking into a fight that's already started, and you don't know if you're part of it or just watching? That's what's happening here.

Setting:

A dirty alley next to the busy Graaswell market. It's the kind of place where people make bad choices.

Characters:

Old Man: Acting drunk and looking for trouble.

Prince Gabrielle:A fancy guy with a sword and a big ego.

Yuki: A sassy and clever girl who gets into trouble by accident.

The Scene:

The old man is stumbling around, like he's trying to walk on a bouncy castle. His eyes are red, and he's yelling at Prince Gabrielle. "Who do you think you are?" he slurs, almost falling over. He's definitely picked a fight he can't win.

Then, Prince Gabrielle makes a dramatic entrance. He smoothly puts his sword back in its case, like a movie samurai. His cape blows in the wind. He steps forward and says in a loud, important voice, "I am Prince Gabrielle Graaswell! I won't let bad things happen!" He sounds like he's in a big-budget movie trailer.

Yuki looks confused and a little annoyed. She raises an eyebrow and waits a moment, then says, "Prince Gabrielle? Did I just walk into a Disney movie? Where are the talking animals?" People in the crowd start to giggle, and Prince Gabrielle looks a little less heroic.

Prince Gabrielle, still acting like a hero, offers Yuki his hand and gives her a big, shiny smile. "I was just passing by," he says, even though he clearly wanted to be a hero. "I saw the trouble. Are you okay?"

Yuki dusts herself off and strikes a pose. "Just another normal day," she says. "A little messed up, but still great. Thanks for saving me, Prince Gabrielle!"

The old man suddenly realizes who he's been yelling at. His face goes from angry to scared. He backs away, like he's seen a ghost. "P-Prince Gabrielle?! I didn't know!" He puts his hands up like he's surrendering.

Prince Gabrielle gives the old man a cold look. "Leave now," he says in a serious voice. "Or you'll regret it."

The old man runs away as fast as he can.

The crowd starts talking excitedly. Some people are impressed by Prince Gabrielle, and others are amused by Yuki's jokes.

Yuki whispers to Prince Gabrielle, "For a guy who talks about honor all the time, you sure like making a big scene."

Prince Gabrielle doesn't answer, probably enjoying the attention. Yuki smirks. "Guess that makes you a real Disney prince."

What this scene shows:

Prince Gabrielle: He's trying to be a hero and loves attention.

Yuki: She's funny, smart, and doesn't take things too seriously.

The Old Man: He's a bully who quickly backs down when faced with someone powerful.

It shows how different people react to the same situation. It also shows that things aren't always what they seem at first.

End of Scene:

After the crowd leaves, Prince Gabrielle and Yuki are alone in the alley. The city goes back to normal.

Yuki looks at Prince Gabrielle and says, "So, Prince, do you always save random people, or was this a special occasion?"

Prince Gabrielle thinks for a moment and says, "Only when it feels right."

Yuki laughs and walks ahead. "Well, you definitely made today interesting."

They walk back into the city together, leaving behind the memory of the funny and dramatic scene.
