Chapter 11- Allison's awkward day out.

Virgil's wandering eventually led to him entering the main village in Evadonia, Havendale. The buildings there were made of a stone like material and were cold to the touch. Well not cold to anyone there though, since Evadonia had normally cold weather but still fairly chilly. 

The town had a small bit of commotion during the Mid-day bustle creating a comforting white noise. A slight smell of pine and apple wafted through the air into the noses of every passerby. It would have been calming for Virgil however there were small groups of people staring at him as he strolled through town. I guess because he was the Prince and people were surprised to see him but, it was still unnerving.

He glanced at the array of shops and homes taking in small details as he walked like how the dress shop was brighter than every other building or, how the bar had one or two patrons in it at the time. But his observation of the sides of the path led to him bumping into the person in front of him.

Once he collided with the ground he noticed the plethora of books scattered near him and the short black haired boy who was rushing to pick them up. Prince Virgil being the empathic person he is immediately got up and grabbed some books for the boy.

"Here, I'm sorry for this," Virgil said handing the boy who had finally noticed who he bumped into and was standing in shock.
He quickly snapped out of it as to not look like a fool and grabbed his books before bowing to his prince.

"N-No its my fault y-your Highness, I-I was in the wrong." He stuttered out respectfully.

"Nonsense you did nothing of the sort, what is your name so I can properly apologise for my inattentiveness?" Virgil asked the small boy politely and quietly as to not draw in more unwanted attention. The boy shot up from his bow in confusion as he tightened his grip on his six books.

"My n-name is Allison however your highness th-there is no need for you to apologise, n-no one was injured and nothing is broken or d-damaged." Allison replied with a very Logan-like response which made Virgil giggle a bit.

"Allison though nothing was damaged that doesn't mean I don't need to apologise, and as this is my first time out of the castle I need to make a good impression on all my future subjects, including you. So, I must apologise for both crashing into you and wasting your time, Sorry." Virgil said giving a polite smile and a bow before continuing down the road leaving an embarrassed Allison behind him.

After that somewhat awkward encounter Virgil decided that along with looking at the village he will also watch where he's walking. Good idea right? Did you expect a wrong after that? Well actually the rest of the stroll went without a hitch. But, eventually he became quite bored and hungry so, instead of listening to his better judgement he decided to venture into one of the many shops. After a few minutes of deciding on where to stop he stumbled across a small shop called "Brook's". Virgil took a deep breath pulled up his cloak's hood and stepped into the warm building.

This one was less busy than most of the ones he passed, which was good in his opinion. There were only about three separate groups of people in total in the cafe-like shop. Those groups consisted of some teenagers around Virgil's age, two elder ladies, and what Virgil could only guess to be a mother and her son.

He took the seat farthest from everyone keeping his head down trying to not draw any more attention than he had at day. A short girl in a yellow uniform skipped up to him and gave him a formal welcome and brief explanation of the items on the menu today.

"So what will you have?" She asked, her voice was frankly high pitched and cheerful to the point that it seemed like she was made of sugar.

"Um I think I'll have the seasonal soup and a water, thank you." Virgil ordered shooting the girl a small smile at she quickly returned but at a larger scale.

"Great choice! That'll be out in just a second," She explained before skipping her way back to the kitchen.

Sorry this took a while to come out, chapters should be coming out in a normal pace from now on.

Hope you enjoyed! 💜
