Nigel through all this, stayed positive and determined. He hoped one day he would get some luck in his life and he would have a home again. For now he just stayed put with his empty cup for coins.
-
Smiling, Azalea walked by and blinked, kneeling down with a slight frown. She carefully pulled out a sack of coins, placing her finger to her lips as if to say "don't tell" before setting it in front of him. "Have a nice night," she murmured gently.
-
Nigel took the sack of coins from the stranger and said "You are very generous, my friend." He smiled and put the bag in his cup.
-
Azalea blushed lightly and looked away, "I certainly try. Please be careful out here, my guards aren't too polite to those out after curfew," she warned, standing and brushing off her satin black gown.
-
Nigel said "Don't worry, I have a good place to hide. I hope you do."
-
Azalea chuckled and nodded, "You could say that, I suppose. As long as I'm not caught sneaking in, that is." She turned and ran off, her long blonde braid following.
-
Nigel smiled at the fact that this stranger was kind enough to give him those coins. He looked at a clock in town and saw it was past curfew. So he went to the back of the alley, laid down on some paper and covered himself in cardboard. He fell asleep shortly after.
-
Before long, the sun had risen and guards stormed the alleyway, barking orders to find the missing money. One blinked as he seen a rather large lump of cardboard and picked it up, his eyes widening.
-
Nigel woke up with the sun in his eye. He said "Ugh, somebody turn off the sun. I'm trying to sleep." He was poked and said "Okay, I'm up what is it?" He saw a lot of guard there and asked "What is going on here?"
-
The guards glowered at him before lifting his cup, "This is it. The sack of gold missing from the castle." He grabbed Nigel's arm, jerking him up and beginning to practically drag him to the castle dungeons.
-
Nigel was really confused. He said "What's going on? I didn't steal anything. Somebody gave me those coins, I didn't know they were stolen."
-
The guards scoffed, "Like we haven't heard that one before-" "Release him!" Azalea snapped, walking over briskly and removing their hands from him, "He did indeed receive them from someone else, and that would be me!" The guards stiffened, "P-princess....?"
-
Nigel said "You gave me those coins? I didn't think the royals cared about people like me."
-
Azalea looked at him, hurt. Before she could speak up, a booming voice intervened. "Azalea! Because of your ignorance, we've lost money! Now this boy will pay for it!" She gasped and turned, "Father, you mustn't! Give him partial freedom at least!" He grunted and turned away, "Fine... Boy, I place Azalea in your care. You are her new servant." Azalea flinched and looked away before her father glared, "or would you rather go to the dungeons?"
-
Nigel, looking really scared and nervous, said "No, it's cool I'll be a servant. Although I would like some new clothes or something."
