As she slowly strode down the street, she kept her ears open for any kinds of important rumors and information.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Did you hear, the prince has run away from the palace."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"You know, yesterday the Barber has been mugged."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"On the Market, there is a new fabrics and accessoires shop."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Lately, harassing of girls has increased on the streets."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"There is a suspicious movement of guards from the palace, the prince must surely have escaped! I wonder why?" </span><br/><br/>People were whispering to each other, some were talking loudly. They supposed to share secrets, but it was all an open book for her.<br/>Rumors were a first source of information for new prey.<br/>~A prince? If I can kidnap one, get ransom, and then I can move out for good. And my sisters will be green with envy...~<br/>She lost herself a little in daydreams, but then snapped out of it. There were lots of guards around, and since she was quite new in this kingdom, she maybe saw his face one or two times from afar. How would she know for sure if hes the right one?<br/>Being good at recognizing faces, she prided herself in memorizing features. But since she recently tried to get away from the villaindom, she forcefully suppressed her urge to look at some posters that were being plastered on the streets now. Still, from the corner of her eyes she saw.. "A reward of<span style="font-style: italic">ten to hundred gold for any clues</span>" If they were willing to give that much for clues.. how much would they pay for the real deal?<br/>Stopping herself from going closer and joining the crowd of discussing people, she decided to stroll the market and check out the new fabrics and accessoires shop. There were cute accessoires, hats, masks, tiaras. And of course fabrics. Lots of different ones...<br/>But she could not focus properly on them.
