Walking in the street.
Emerald sighs and look back.
"Can you hurry?"

Ed, Prince Yosef, is startled.
They are walking in the street without any protection or escort.
They are just strolling without any care.

"H-how can you g-get permission to go out?"
Yosef asks flustered.

Emerald smiles.
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. I am resourceful."

Yosef thinks that Sir Randy favor this girl too much.
But he took a deep breath and enjoy the scenery.

"It's good to go out once in a while."

His heart id at eased after learning that he won't actually die.
He doesn't care anymore if he is a King or not but he wish to become a military personnel at most.

"Princess,"

"Good day Princess."

"Good day everyone." Emerald smiles back.

Yosef frowns.

Observing this girl gave him the sense of alienation.
As if everything he believes are not real.

"Give it to me for 20 copper per kilo."

"Princess, that is day light robbery!" Granpa Jeff said.

"Urghhh...Give me more discount. I will buy 5 kilo."

"Your 20% discount is enough for you!"

"Stingy old man!"

"Robber!"

Yosef grabs Emerald's arm and pull her a bit.

"Ouch. What?"

"What are you doing? Don't you fell ashamed?"

"Huh?"

"You are robbing the poor citizen of his product."

Emerald seriously sigh and shakes his head.

"You believe him? He is a merchant. He won't sold it without getting even a small profit. By probing his bottom line you will know how much is his initial capital. Then you can strike to lower the item price."
Emerald said excited.

"What I am saying is have some dignity!"

Emerald froze and look at Yosef.
But she didn't get mad.
"Your highness, this is a normal thing in this market place."

"If you have more money you better not ask to lower the price."

"But I feel that to know people you have to talk to people. By talking to them you will know what makes them feel uncomfortable or if they like it. This way you can judge the persons personality. If they are nice they will surely not slip a rotten product with the other fresh product. If they are honest they will not over charge you if you didn't count the amount of your change."

Yosef is startled and then he nods.
"It's true that you can know people this way but to get a lower price for their item. I still think that it is not good for you to do this."

"Why?"

"Because you are a princess."

"But I don't have much money."

"What? How is that possible? Sapphire has 100 Gold spending money a week."

Emerald pouts.
"Wow, really?"

"How about you?"

"I received 10 gold for a month. Ahhhhhh! I don't want to ask so why did you even tell me. Now I feel down. Stupid." Emerald angrily slaps Yosef hand and return to the old man.
