Beck took a few steps ahead before stopping as he felt Tray let go. Confused, he turned around and looked at her. "Is something wrong?" asked the Faowind as he walked toward her.

Tray looked at him then for the first time in awhile smiled slightly and shook her head. "No, nothing is wrong. Just...having a flashback is all."

Beck looked at her as she smiled and grinned. "Of what?" he asked as he walked towards Tray, gently taking hold of her hand as he awaited the girls response.

Tray looked at Beck's hand and blinked before looking ahead again and she chuckled slightly. "of a lot of things."

The silver haired man smiled even more as Tray chuckled. "Well then lets make a new memory right now, so we can look back on it in the future." with that he turned and opened the door to the bakery, motioning for Tray to go in first. As the door was opened, the aroma of various breads and other baked goods wafted past the King and it caused his stomach to rumble, followed by a nervous chuckle.

Tray glanced at Beck as she heard his stomach growling at the smell of the baked goods. It made her smile and put her hand to her mouth and chuckle again as she looked ahead and headed inside and looked at some of the pre-baked bread.

Beck soon followed Tray and smiled at her chuckle. She was starting to become happy and he liked that. The King stood beside Tray and as his eyes glanced and skimmed over the foods, there was a light gasp. Beck looked at the source and saw man who's hair began to show his age. "Beck...is that...really you?!" asked the man as his eyes were wide. The King nodded with a smile and replied "Yes it is. How have you been Daniel?" The man smiled, obviously cheerful before calling out "Meran. Come here! You'll never know who stepped into my bakery!" A few seconds later a man that was in his late teens showed up, jet black hair with green eyes. An apron covered him as it was tattered with flower and other baking ingredients. His mouth opened before his eyes shot to Beck. Meran stood there, shocked at seeing an old friend. "Beck...it's been a while." replied the young man. The Faowind nodded with a chuckle and said "It has Meran. The years have treated you kindly." Both men walked towards Beck before stopping and finally noticing his outfit. "Your King now...aren't you?" asked Meran as they looked at Beck, still in awe. "Yes...A battle that lasted only a couple of months has passed with my army as the Victor, made me King." Without hesitation both bakers fell to their knees. "We've heard you're victory over Viktor during the battle. We've heard everything, Your Majesty." said Daniel, his eyes on the ground. "I may be royalty, but I'm still Beck." he said and made them stand up before asking "How's the business going?" Beck noticed that the four were currently the only ones in the shop. "Business isn't as good as it was. We're about to go under soon." Beck frowned and said "Well I fired all the staff at the castle since they worked for Viktor and as a result, I'm in need of a few bakers." A small smile formed on Beck's lips as they looked at him with eyes wider than before. "Yes...please. Come work for me in the Castle. I've to repay you for all those cookies and loafs you've given me for free in the past." chuckled Beck.

Tray for now stood back and watched as Beck interacted with the bakers and listening to them speak to one another. Since the three seemed to be distracted however she was the only one paying attention to the store and the surroundings. She walked to some of the baked goods on display, they all looked freshly baked and delicious. As she looked around she came across what appeared to be a little body behind some barrels. A tiny hand reaching up to a shelf and grabbed the nearest loaf of bread.
Frowning a bit, she was about to go over and interact with whoever was their when suddenly a little child, in an attempt to dash out the door and not be seen, accidentally knocked the barrels over. The little boy stood their in mid run and horrified as he looked at Tray and clung to the bread as if his life depended on it. Tray stood their frozen to the spot, and she watched the boy as he suddenly looked at Beck and the others before continuing his run for the door, still clinging to the loaf of bread. Tray could only stand their and watch.

Meran was about to open his mouth when a noise caught all three of their attention, turning to see a little boy, terrified and clutching a loaf of bread to his chest-which took up about half his size- looking straight at them before darting off. Daniel became enraged before running after the boy. "Daniel. Stop!" exclaimed Beck with power in his voice. The baker suddenly stopped and turned to Beck. "But Your Highness, that young boy has stolen my bread! I can't let him get away without punishment!" Beck looked at the old man and shook his head. "Let it go. He's already gone. I'll pay for the bread as the boy clearly needed it for something." But the King did have his doubt. "Just in case though, Tray. Please follow the boy and see what he does with it." "As for my offer, will you two become the bakers at the Castle?" Meran looked at his father before nodding himself. "I'll do it!" Daniel asked "Well who will look after the shop?" Beck replied "You can change it into your house. All you have to do is show up during the day and retire at night. Your income will be great." smiled the King.

Tray's attention was sill at the door that the little boy had run through, though hearing Beck say her name made her attention snap back, she looked at Beck and blinked then nodded. "Of course your majesty." she was curious herself so she walked out the door and noticed the boy running a way's ahead of her. She started for a run after the boy, as she did she was thinking deeply about something.
She watched as the boy darted into an ally and as she rounded the corner she saw...nothing. The ally was completely empty except for a few boxes. As she walked down it she looked around. The buildings had no side doors he could have gone through so where could the boy have gone? She was about to turn and give up her search when she heard a faint sneeze behind her. Looking back she got closer to the boxes and realized that their was no reason for them being their. She moved one to reveal a little hole in the fence. Blinking she removed the rest of the boxes and their was a small hole about the size of a child, a curtain over it as well.
Frowning Tray reached over and moved aside the curtain and what she saw behind it made her eyes wide and heart sink. Aside the little boy, their were at least three other children. They all stared at Tray in mid eat of the loaf of bread the boy she had been chasing had acquired from the bakery. They were all horrified to have now been caught and it was clear on all their faces.

"Once Tray get's back, I'd like us all to have a bit of breakfast with some bread and soup." said Beck with a smile. The other two nodded, an obviously still angry Daniel was starting to calm down a bit.

Tray bit her lip as she looked at the children who were all now huddled together in fear, none of them wanted to be taken to the king and get punished. Something came to her mind and sighing Tray slowly stood up and looked like she was going to leave, but then stopped and looked back at the frightened children.
Some time later Tray slowly returned to the bakery, she opened the door and looked at Beck and the others. "Your majesty?" she said to Beck and then looked down at her feet, the four children she had found eating the only thing they could get to eat so they could survive surrounding behind her in fear of not only the new King, but also from the baker.

Beck turned to see the Tray and smiled before his eyes lowered to the four children huddled behind her in fear. Daniel looked and became enraged. "What are they doing-" Daniel was interrupted by Beck as the King got up. He took a few steps towards Tray and then looked at the kids with a smile before taking a seat on the floor. "I see...so you're just looking after your siblings huh kid?" asked Beck with a smile. "Meran...Daniel. Now seems like a good time for the soup and bread." said the King. Meran, knowing where this was heading, smiled and walked off to make the food before he was followed by an angry Daniel. Beck pointed to the child from before and motioned to come closer. "Come here child. I'd like to know your name." he said with a heart warming smile.

Tray watched as all four of the children huddled together more as the new King came further. But all he did was sit by the floor so he was eye level to them. The child from before looked at him then up towards Tray who merely nodded encouragingly to the young boy to step forward.
Still nervous and unsure the boy slowly walked around Tray's leg and closer to the king he looked at him then looked towards the floor."My name...my name is...is um...it's...""Go on little one, he wont bite I promise."The child looked back at Tray then at Beck again. "My name is...Jaden."

"Jaden." smiled the King as he motioned the boy to come closer. "Are those your brothers and sister?" asked the King with a voice of curiosity. "Jaden. How old are you?"
