William sat on the steps of his small stone house. He was fiddling with a gem he happen to come upon while making a trip to the market for food. He knew not who dropped it, but being the curious one he was opted to keep to for himself. His home was not far from the market at all so he had to be wary that the original owner did not find him. His luck ran dry when his mother called out to him, "William! You forgot to get the spices, yet again!" William sighed and headed off towards the market, pocketing his new found gem. He could easily try to sell the gem, but he wasn't one to sell priceless items. he instead collected them. By now, he had a small fortune of collectibles he had found over the last few years. Being 17 years young, he was quite handsome for a guy his age, but being in the class he was it would be predicable that he would not be noticed by another fair maiden.
William entered the market and the first thing he spotted was the most beautiful lady in the land. A princess? What was she doing in the common market. He tried not to stare but he found it hard. William looked at his old, torn clothing and realized he looked a fool. She would not spare a second for him. Although he did not know her well. It wasn't often he saw royalty. He decided to nod it off and continued towards the spice seller. "Hello there Ulric, I need, uhm, I need this and that and..." He did not know the names so instead he pointed out what he needed. Ulric simply laughed and collected what was needed. "Alright boy that will be 4 silver pieces." William searched his pockets and noticed he only had 3 from what his mother gave him. He sighed and pulled out his secret supply totaling out the price. He handed Ulric the pieces and took the bag. Perhaps this was the highlight of his day.
