This is where the main center of commerce is, and probably the only center of commerce in the kingdom. Many vendors are on the street, some big, some small. There's anything from food to armor here, and there's many people in the streets...

Moch found himself on the streets of the marketplace, and more of his fears came true. People were shouting up and down, "The new king! The new king!" Many vendors offered Moch free things as he passed, but he kindly rejected them. Many guards were about, some giving Moch a puzzling stare as he passed by alone, aka without protection. Moch used to be a paladin, he could handle himself... Then it happened. Moch felt something crash into him from behind, almost knocking him off balance. He turned around to see a boy run by, one who looked like he had never been in a real home, or had eaten a good meal in days. Following the boy came a merchant chasing him and yelling angrily. "THEIF!" he yelled as he passed Mochokoy. Before he could get to far away, Moch grabbed the merchant by the shoulder. "GET OFF OF M- Oh, king! I-I'm, I'm sorry!" The man sputtered. "What did the boy still?" Moch asked calmly. "Three apples and a hunk of meat... Why?" Moch knew the boy was probably homeless and starving. "How much would those items usually cost?" Moch asked. "Ten pieces of gold at least!" The merchant said. Moch reached into his pocket and pulled out some gold pieces. He handed them to the merchant. "There's fifty. If the boy steals again, let him go next time." Moch said, smiling and then walking off into the crowd again...

Zack walked into the marketplace and headed straight towards the blacksmith, he needed his armor repaired as fast as possible. People would come up to him asking favors of protection, he would do them then walked off into the blacksmith and handed some gold pieces and his equipment to him, "Fix it and upgrade it." He said sitting down on a chair.

Eventually, Moch didn't know what else to do... He wished there was someone he could talk to, but no one else really knew the pressure's of being king, only himself and thew now deceased former king. How did he do it? Moch's thoughts went around in circles as people yelled and hollered and cheered at him, and he kept his smile on, but on the inside he felt like he was being eaten alive from the inside out. He eventually leaned against the wall of a nearby home, and slowly slid down and he was sitting, where he put his arms on his knees, and his head on his arms. He didn't care what people thought about him right now, he was confused as anything...

Allya finally came close to the marketplace. Her sister excitedly chirping behind her about all the colours and sounds of the marketplace. Allya just nodded and mumbled to all of her chattering. She could see the horse hitching post and tied her horse to it. Allya lited Tessa off the back and double checked that she had the letter. Taking Tessa's hand, they passed by the houses as they made there way to the marketplace.

Raphael wandered the market place hands in his pockets, there was cheering from the next street over. Eather there was a good fight or a rich person who was popular in town. It'd be stupid of him to steal from an actual poplular noble, like there were really any with him. "might as well go for it," he said grinning and changing direction to where the noise was. Comming closer he was able to identify the hollaring for the new king, this was going to be better than he expected. If he could pull off stealing from the king...

Suddenly Moch heard a voice in his head, it sounded like an old friend of his. "Suck it up!" Is what he made out. It sounded like Mewoka, one of the knights Moch was in training with. Even though he wasn't around, Moch knew the voice in his head was right. He was king, there was nothing he could do about it. He should make the best of it and make this a better nation. He laughed at himself a bit, feeling silly for being so pathetic. He slowly got to his feet, balancing himself against the wall, and standing up straight. He used to be a paladin for crying out loud! If he showed this much weakness and uncertainty, he would've gone back to training! Moch moved his bangs out of his eyes, and looked around. A small crowd had gathered around him, puzzlement in their eyes. "Um... Sorry everyone. Just was feeling a bit sick... I feel alot better now!" Moch lied, not trying to show weakness. He then slowly walked off, the crowd following him with their eyes...

Allya heard a loud cry coming from close by. "Can we go and see Allya?" Tessa pleaded, pulling on Allya's hem of her dress, "Pweeeassssse???"
"Fine" Allya sighed, she really disliked crowds. She was a shy person by nature and crowds and her did not mix well, "But only for a little while. We can't stay too long if we are to get back home before nightfall." They walked over to the crowd and pushed up closer to the front. It was the new king they were cheeing for. Suddenly Tessa broke free of Allya's hand and ran into the crowd. Allya called for her and ran into the mass of people to catch her before anything went wrong...

Raphael moved his way into the crowd, its worse than market days or fairs, he thought carelessly bumbing into people and grabbing what purses he could hiding them on his person. The king is moving, he thought as he felt the crowd shift, I need to get up there.

The crowds never seemed to stop. It was as if their whole life revolved around Moch. In a way, it did. He could ruin their lives, keep them the same, or make them better. He hoped in his kingship, to make them better. From the poorest peasant to the richest noble, he hoped everyone would say that Moch was one of the best kings Lukia had ever seen. Then Moch heard a yell different from the rest. He craned his head to see two girls running at him. One a bit younger than the other, and the older one chasing the younger. Moch smiled and laughed a bit, and he could tell the younger one was a bit excited about something, and the older sibling didn't seem to want to have to chase after her younger sister.

Raphael followed the path cut in the crowd made by a younger girl, once she cut free of them he grabbed her, "best not be running into our king, little one," he said hoping she had someone comming for her. He still had to get to the king himself and do exactly what he told her not to do; knock their new king on his royal behind.

Moch had stopped now to make sure everything was okay, but before he could say anything another man appeared and stopped the younger girl. Something in Moch's conscience told him he may need to look out for this man, but then again, Moch was probably judging a book by it's cover. This guy was probably a good person, he did stop the girl from going to far and all... Moch shook it off and stood there, just to make sure everything was okay with the siblings and the guy.

"TESSA!!!" Allya cried out, "this is not funny!!!" She ran after her almost tripping as she went. Allya finally saw a man grab Tessa. Allya looked up to find herself in the centre of the crowded circle and staring down at her was a young man... the new king... At a lost for words Allya stood up and bowed low to him, "I, I, I'm sorry your majesty..." her face turned a deep red. She took Tessa by the arma nd thanked the other man for catching her, she then quickly turned and, dragging Tessa behind her, tried to leave the circle without trouble, but that proved harder than first thought....

Raphael laughed, at the girl trying to leave with her sister. There was no way they were getting anywhere with the king still here. Turning he bowed to the king, "my apologies ur majesty but next time you come grace us in public best wear a disguise." Straiting he looked for where the king would keep his purse without being to obvious, he'd be no good if people actually knew what he did for a living especially when he was doing it.

Moch smiled and laughed a bit as the two girls scurried off. The closest thing Moch had ever had to a sibling was Shacoa, and it was usually Shacoa chasing Moch to try to stop him from doing something dumb. Moch called out to the old sibling, "It's okay! No problem!" Moch then turned to the man. Disguise? Why would Moch need a disguise? "I see where those may come in handy," Moch said to the man in a more serious tone, "But I don't think I need to hide from my people. What if one really needed my help, and I'm hidden? And eventually people would realize that was me in the disguise, so I'd have to get another one, and another one, and... I think it would be easier if they just saw me." Moch explained.
