After a few days of riding through the grassland, Y/N Smith finally arrives at the village by the Kingdom.
"Wow..." she whispers to herself, admiring everything from where she's sitting on her horse.
She can clearly see all the small houses in the village as well as the big castle surrounded by trees and bushes. It's even more beautiful than she imagined.
She jumps down from her horse as the two of them approach the gate. Two knights are standing guard, ready with their swords in case any danger should happen.
It scares Y/N a bit, but she did expect it. They do have a royal family to protect behind these walls.
She slowly approaches them, clearing her throat. "Hello... I'm the new resident of the village" she shyly says, trying her best not to look intimidated.
She hands the knight to the left her official paper, which states that she will live here for a while. The knight takes the paper from her, scanning its content.
As he looks at the girl in front of him, he gasps.
"Um, is everything all right?" she questions, looking worried. Is the information on the paper incorrect?
The knight who gasped clears his throat. "Yes, yes, everything is all right. Welcome to the village, Ms. Smith" he states as he hands the paper back. They open the gates for her.
"Thank you" she says as she smiles before entering the village with her horse.
Once they are inside and the gates are closed, the knight to the left looks at the other knight.
"Did you see what I saw?" he questions, hoping he's not going crazy.
"If you mean that the girl looks similar to the Queen, then yes, I did..." the knight to the right says, looking just as surprised.
The knight to the left sighs. "I guess we must be overworked, huh? The Queen doesn't have any other relatives. At least not as far as I know" he says, looking deep in thought.
The knight to the right shakes his head. "I'm quite sure she doesn't. You are probably right, we must be overworked" he agrees, choosing to ignore what they just saw.
Why would that girl look like the Queen?
Y/N and her companion walk as they observe everything, admiring their new home. It's absolutely beautiful here.
They have a lot of shops, and they are all inside the village! It's definitely different to what she's used to.
She can't wait to tell John and Mary! Speaking of her adoptive parents, she promised to send them a letter right away.
She tries to look for the post office, she however can't spot it. They simply have too many shops here.
Unsure of what to do, she decides to ask someone. But who should she ask?
There's a knight right over there, but she doesn't want to disturb him.
There's a red-haired couple, but they seem rather busy with their conversation.
She really doesn't want to bother anyone. What should she do?
She almost jumps when she feels someone tapping her shoulder.
Startled, she turns around to see three people around her age.
"Hello, you seem lost. You must be new here. May we help you with something?" the boy to the left asks as he smiles. He's wearing glasses, has green eyes and dark hair.
