On route to Fortress City-State of Ur

On the road, where four horses carrying a white carriage with designs and inside of the carriage is Princess Prim Fiori, Pink Princess of Ur, Shield Princess of the Shield Alliance, cousin of Alicia Arcturus, and heiress of the Throne of Ur. After she made a visit to her cousin at the Fortress City-State of Feoh. Prim was not in a mood about politics and duties, she look at the window, the sight of trees, blue sky, birds flying freely, herd of stags running, and an old man wearing rags collapse on the side of the road.

Wait, an OLD MAN COLLAPSE!

"Stop the carriage!" Prim orders the driver to stop as the driver holds the birdle to stop the horses which the horses comply as they stop while the door opened widely as Prim went out followed by the driver and running straight to the fallen old man. She and the driver went to him, she lifting him and the driver holds him. "Are you alright?" The only reply she got is a weakly voice of thirst.

"I thirst. . . I thirst. . . I thirst. noble lady, I thirst."

She holds the canteen and puts the beggar's mouth as he drinks it thirsty then he sigh.

"There is no spring nearby from which a beggar old man is allowed to drink. I'm thirsty."

"Here." Prim gives another canteen, three loaf breads, fifty gold and thirty silver coins to the old beggar. "It's for you." She smiles sincerely. "For you, sir." The old beggar accepts Prim's generosity.

"Thank you, Princess Prim."

"How do you know my name?" She asks as the old beggar made a grandfatherly smile to her.

"There are only few good nobles who could humble a monarch and would give a beggar to drink from their own pouches. Even a pure, kind and caring princess like you." Prim blush a little of the compliment and she asks.

"Who are you, sir?"

He chuckles and he said to her. "I may not be knight, milday, but I am called Zarus." He dive his hand to his pouch and pulls out a necklace with a pink sphere jewel then he hands it to Prim which she accepts it.

"May helping hands be extended to you everywhere you go, my princess. And may you will meet your destined one. Farewell." He walk on the road. While Prim look at the gift of Zarus gave her as she puts around her neck.

"My destined one." Prim whispers as the jewel sparkles.
