Chapter 23 - where can I find the General?

The market got silence immediately as they saw her. She wanted to pass unnoticed but it failed .

"It's the princess" the child repeated again.

After the silence, murmurings could be heard . She could here people murmuring amount them, wondering.

"What's the princess doing here?"

"Without any guards, her that doesn't like to be with commoners."

"She's not as her brother, the prince, that usually comes and help us"

"I have heard that since they have kidnapped her, she's acting differently"

"Do you think they have knocked her head and she lost her memory?"

Then as if something came into their head, they all bowed, greeting her then they stood up.

"It's okay you all, you can continue your work. It's the princess not a ghost" said the woman that defended amber-ruby .

When she uttered those words the market regain it noisy full of life sound as if nothing happened.

"Come with me" Said the woman, grapping her hand.

.

.

.

The woman brought her in a shop of dresses. It was her shop.

"I think you should wear something more comfortable without this hoodie too.

Amber-ruby looked down at the dress then to the mirror in front of her. It is true that the clothes she wore is not so casual but in the dressing room of Logane, it was the only dress that look somehow casual.

She nodded with a smile.

The woman came with a bunch of dresses on her hands.

"Oh , I didn't present myself my princess. I'm Marie… Marie de la fleur" she said placing the dresses on a chair.

"Im pleased to meet you" she said "if I'm not mistaken, it's a French name" she added

"Yes, I'm not from Irischester. It's my husband that is from here, so, I followed him here" Marie said with a smile.

"I see, I Hope you feel very comfortable here" amber-ruby said

"Yes" Marie smiled "Even though when I was coming here, my family and friends told me that it's not a good kingdom" she gave the first dress to amber-ruby for her to try it.

"People from the exterior fear this kingdom" she added

"I understand, they were just worried" amber-ruby said .

They were chatting while trying dresses. After 30minutes , amber-ruby finally choose a trouser and a t-shirt.

Since she came into Irischester, playing the role of Logane, she was just wearing dresses, heels . She wondered why princess doesn't wear trouser.

'Now I feel very comfortable. I feel as when I was living my normal life. Actually I don't understand why they don't wear it . It's less stressful' she thought

"There's a problem" Marie said

"What's wrong?" Amber-ruby asked

Marie pointed at her hairs. "Your hairs, Only the member Of the royal family got that RED-BRIGHT HAIRS in the kingdom" she make a remark.

Amber-ruby slapt her forehead indicating that she forgot it.

"It's true! I completely forgot about that"

"It's not a problem, just tied it and wear a cap" she said.

"Okay." "In the market I have heard one person saying that my brother comes and help them. I don't understand" she added

"Yes, prince Ace is very helpful. Each weekend he comes and help people with their commodity. Making everyone to laugh and enjoying his company".

Amber-ruby took a stunned expression.

"Laugh? He jokes?" Amber-ruby wondered

"Yes, he's funny" Marie smiled

"Are we sure we are talking of the same prince? . His not aloof? Cold? Indifferent?" Amber-ruby asked

"Aloof? Cold? With your respect my princess, you're the one that's aloof and cold with your people."

"You know prince Ace help the people of Irischister. You see this shops, he constructed it with others with his bare hands when he was a teenager , I don't think the king knows this story" she took a nostalgic smiled. "He's caring with us. All these qualities make him a good king for the kingdom and It's also the raison why the people love him".

Amber-ruby was surprised with all those praises toward Ace. She knew he wasn't a bad person but all these compliments shocked her.

'So, he even jokes and smiled. The only time I saw him like that is when he was playing the role of Duncan' she thought

She smiled then stood silent for a moment.

"Marie?" She called.

Marie that was rearranging her merchandise, replied without at looking her.

"Yes, my princess."

"Do you know where I can find General Owen walker ?" Amber-ruby asked

Marie stopped what she was doing then looked at her.

"Don't misunderstand " she lifted her hand with an embarrassing smile. "He's a friend of my brother. He sent me there, he was busy" she lied

"The General stay at Nightinon , it is far from orlie-gham my princess. It's risky for you if you want to there, without guards" she said with a worry expression.

"Don't worry Marie"

"Make sure you don't get noticed. The town is risky. It's 11am if all is okay you can arrive they at 1pm"

"Can you indicate it to me on a paper?" Amber-asked

She nodded.

"I suppose it's not to talk of Barbie things with the General, isn't it ?" Marie said "I know if the General Owen is there, it means there's... war or seizure" she said

"Don't worry Marie, it's not something to worry about " she smiled to assure her.

She gave the paper to her.

"Thank you. I mean thank you for everything" amber ruby said

"Your welcome. Be careful "

Amber-ruby waved her hand and get out of the shop.

"Nightinon here I come. I can't allow Sir Garyl to achieve his goal with doing anything "

That's the reason she wanted to visit the town, she knew very well that here they will be one person capable of helping her to get to the General. She thoughts of how to stop Garyl and her thoughts dive to Ace's friends whom is also the General.
