Tale 14
Marriage?
“Have you heard what happened last night?”
“You mean the bandits?”
“Yes! I heard old man Jack’s warehouse was ransacked by bandits from the mountain.”
“So scary.”
“I heard it’s the notorious bandits from the Northern Mountains.”
“You mean that group of bandits called White Foxes?”
“Yes, I heard it’s them.”
“Didn’t they became a group of wandering bandits out of fear of Duke Crimson?”
“Yes, the White Foxes are bandits from the North, but because of Duke Indigo Crimson’s fearsome reputation, those bandits fled and turned into rogues.”
“I can’t believe they’re lurking so close to our town now.”
“I hope they leave soon. I’m now scared to go out to drink at the pub at night because of them.”
“But there’s an even more shocking news going around the town recently.”
“Really? What news?”
“It’s about the Lady Boss!”
“The owner of Tomes, Tea and Coffee cafe? Why? Did she introduced a new beverage again? I heard the Milk Tea and those new Smoothies are so good. I want to try them.”
“No, it’s not about the new beverages. But you should try the Peach Yogurt Smoothie, that’s my new favourite. It’s perfect since it’s specially hot today.”
“Oh, I will.”
“The news is not about the menu. It’s actually about the Lady Boss and that new baker.”
“New baker? Boss Titus?”
“Yes, Lady Boss and Boss Titus.”
“Why? What happened? Is their competition for customers getting fiercer?”
“No, it’s actually the opposite.”
“What do you mean?”
“I heard that.... they’re getting married.”
“.....what?”
