The organizers were still cleaning the venue, even it was already cleaned, their reason there bored. A soldier of them noticed a little girl entered the soldier who stood guard at the entrance stopped the little girl.
The soldier then spoke, " Sorry little girl but this area is still not open for people yet. Return here later with your parents, I"m sure they are looking for you right now. "
But the soldier noticed something odd about the little girl, it was her clothes and jewelry she was wearing. The soldier immediately thought, [ this kid might be a daughter someone rich. She is, wearing the most presentable and beautiful dress, that I"ve seen in all the kids I"ve encountered, also here jewelry is kinda expensive, is that real Sapphire, well it matches her eyes. ]
The little girl had blond hair and Sapphire blue eyes that match her necklace. She had white skin, which you would think that she was slightly pale, and she had a very adorable face.
Even the soldier was captured by her adorableness, he even said to himself, [ I wish my child would look like her. ]
" The little girl then spoke to the soldier, " Excuse me mister but why I"m not allowed to go in that place? "
The soldier replied, " well we are waiting for the king to arrive, as our place will open when he arrives to take a look at our products. "
The little girl asks the soldier another question, " Mister what is that thing your carrying. The soldier spoke, well it"s a rifle and it"s quite dangerous so I suggest you should not play with this. "
The little girls then asked, " why is it, dangerous mister? "
The soldier answered, " well it can take lives, in other words, it is a tool of war a weapon. O even call it the devil"s creation, but to tell you the truth, little girl this thing has saved me, and made an oath towards this thing. "
The letter girl replied, " Oh, I see mister, but I have to say goodbye, I"m sure y guardians are looking for me now. "
The little girl waves at the soldier as she was towards the other side. But the soldier saw the girl got pulled into the alleyway by a man"s arm.
The soldier immediately runs toward the alleyway where the little girl was pulled. He then saw the little girl getting mugged by some thieves. The girl"s necklace got pulled by a thief breaking the gold chains of the necklace.
The little girl screamed, " please give that back my grandmother gave me that. "
The thief then mocked the little girl, " Who cares if it"s from your grandmother, it doesn"t even suit you so I will be taking this, I"m sure your grandmother only gave it to you because it was ugly. So I will be taking this, so you must be even thanking me for removing something this ugly from your care. "
The little girl screamed to the thief, " How dare you call my grandmother"s favorite necklace ugly, please give it back ( sob ), that is the only thing, grandma left me ( sob ).
The bandit spoke, " Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, who cares about that, so just stay quiet while we carve some art to your face. Ok, we will also be removing your tongue so you could not speak of our ident.i.ty. "
The other thief spoke, " Hey she can still identify us if she points her finger at us. "
The first thief spoke, " don"t worry I will surely carve something in her eyes that will surely make her go blind, so my plan is full proof. "
The second thief spoke, " wow you are a genius partner. "
The soldier immediately shouted at the two thieves, " Drop that necklace and release the girl " pointing his rifle at the thieves. "
The thieves were having mixed feelings about the rifle, the first thief felt something was off about the iron rod that was pointed at them.
The soldier immediately puts the safety to semi-automatic mode. But he remembers the agreement they had with the knights. They will not cause any ruckus during the festival. He knew if he will use the rifle, it would definitely cause a ruckus, so he decided to point down the gun at the floor.
The soldier them spoke to the girl, " hey little girl listen to me, I want you to close your eyes and cover your ears, and everything will be fine. "
The first thief thought that man had gone crazy, thinking that the girl closing her eyes and covering her ears would work.
The soldier threw a flash grenade at the thieves, the thieves thought the soldier really got crazy, throwing things at them.
But after a few seconds, while the grenade was in the air, a burst of light blinding the two and sound that they never heard before made them stunned.
The soldier charged at the two thieves after seeing the state of the two thieves. He punches the first thief in the diaphragm and the second thief in his jaw.
The two thieves got knocked out by the punches, the soldier immediately grabs the girl, the necklace and the grenades debris and pin, to not leave any evidence of any weapons being used.
The soldier runs back to the cultural exchange venue, he brought the girl along with him. One of the soldiers spoke to him, " What are you doing with that girl, don"t you know that we are not yet open. "
The soldier replied to his fellow soldier, " I"m sorry but I think this girl needs ." He then put the sobbing little girl in a chair, his comrade then spoke, " fine but report this to the commander, I don"t want to get yelled at. "
The soldier then gave the little girl a chocolate bat and comforted her to stop her from crying. As the girl stopped crying the soldier the spoke to the little girl, " I will be leaving to tell this to my superior. Don"t worry my friend here will look after you, I know his scary looking but he is very nice you can ask him for some food. "
The soldier then left the little girl with his comrade. He then went to his commanding officer to report the situation.
After reporting the events to his superior, the soldier got scolded by his superior and went back to the little girl, who was munching happily to the chocolate bar.
The girl then spoke to the soldier, " this is very delicious and very sweet mister, also thank you for saving me, mister.
The soldier spoke, " don"t mention it"

The little girl hides behind the soldier after hearing the voice of the queen. Two men in armor also arrived at the venue and yelled, " princess Celine there you are we are looking everywhere for you. You had us worry, please don"t just disappear suddenly into the crowd. "
The two knights noticed the queen and king, which they reacted by kneeling in front of the two.
The soldier was surprised and asked the little girl, " are you, princess Celine? "

The soldier immediately bowed and asked for forgiveness to Celine and spoke, " I"m sorry for my rude actions your Highness. "
Celine them notices Eric, she then runs towards Eric and immediately hugged him tightly, Celine then spoke, " Brother I missed you where have you been this whole month. "
Eric wanted to ask Celine many questions regarding her being here, but he did not want to make the n.o.bles to wait for any longer, so he continued to look for Rogen.
As he found Rogen, the organizers were immediately ordered to bring the guests to their designated seats.
The n.o.bles were excited about what are the products that they will see today.

Rogen replied, " Yes it is the paper, now please take a look at this paper and try to write something on it. "
All of them were looking at the paper and was amazed at how clean and good the quality was.
Each n.o.ble got their hands on a paper which was an A4 white coupon bond paper. The n.o.bles started to write on the paper and were surprised at how easy writing was with a pen.
Rogen pulled another item this time it was a pencil, he distributed it to the people, he also.agve a sharpener. He then demonstrated how to sharpened a pencil.
He then asked the people to write using the pencil this time, after that Rogen asked them to use the other side of the pencil.
The n.o.bles were dumbfounded after seeing the things they wrote disappeared.

Rogen then proceeded to another item, this time he manages to get food from the cart. He then opens it and made the people pick a piece of it. It was junk food it was a potato chip, flavored with cheese.
The n.o.bles were surprised again, this time with the taste, this te Lyra commented, " salty, and crunchy at the same time addicting. I think I might have developed a craving for it. "
The queen also commented, " I think I also developed a craving for this food I hope you brought some more sir Rogen, I think duke Lyra and I would be wanting to bring some of this food.
Rogen replied, " Do not worry we have brought enough of this food, so giving you two might not actually hurt the supply that much.
