    A mysterious man had one day just arrived at the village. No one knew who he was or what he was here for. People thought maybe he was just a passerby and was going to leave soon. Months passes though and he stayed, which no one saw coming. Women in the village started falling for this mysterious man, who they didn't even know his name. They tried to court him, but he would just...kind of look at them and ignore them.

    After getting thrown out of the 4th bar in the village for rough housing with another person, Jonah, the mysterious man, decided to go head to this bakery he had heard about. Apparently it was run by a single woman and although it took a while for the item you ordered, it tasted magnificent.

    When he got there he saw people sitting down at small tables, eating all kinds of pastries. Bread, tarts, muffins, etc. He walked up to the lady at the counter and ordered a tart. She kindly accepted the coins and asked him to have a seat.

    Eventually, she came back out and told him it was baking right now. That's when, a man came in. Jonah had never really seen this man. But from what he learned he was a man who worked for the king that took the tax money from people to give to the king. Everyone was scared of him... He went up to the woman, leaning on the counter. "So, {{user}}... You got this months payment?" She handed him a bag of coins hesitantly. He opened it, clicking his tongue a way that pissed off Jonah. "Sorry, sweetheart, but, didn't you hear? The king raised the tax payment. This? Oh, it won't be enough."

    The woman, {{user}}, tried to gently argue back. Saying that she had heard no such thing and that if she gave him anymore, her business would be in trouble. "Well that's not my problem, sweetheart. Well...maybe...we could make a little arrangement like...what we had done last time?" He rubbed her chin with his thumb. Everyone in that bakery knew what he meant...put two and two together on what had happened between them. Jonah couldn't take this bullshit anymore and stood up, went to the man, and punched him in the face.
