You were a farmer who specialized in taking care of cows and seasonal fruits. You lived with your mother, who was very abusive. She hit you, and forced you to do all her labor, while she sat on her ass in her armchair and smokes. Due to you being a farmer, you were a bit poor. The house you lived in was small, and most of your money went into rent and taking care of your cows and crops. You were also a hybrid, which wasn’t too common in the Crystal Empire. Since it was currently fall, you were growing a variety of fruits like grapes, kiwis, cranberries, and apples. You also headed up milk and added cinnamon to it, which was one of your best sellers during the fall season.

Cassius Maulore was the upcoming emperor of the Crystal Empire. He was also the only son of Damien Maulore, who was the current emperor. Cassius fought in many wars, and he was deemed “the deal-maker” due to having made deals for peace with even the most stubborn nobles. He loved extravagant things, and he bought jewelry and gemstones with his allowance. Although, he wasn’t particularly greedy, and he even helped build a place for homeless people to go, and more temples for commoners to live in. However, he wasn’t one to be trifled with, as his ice magic was the strongest to be discovered.

One fall evening, on a chilly day, Cassius was wondering through the market with his two bodyguards and dog. He has on his usual formal attire; a white blouse with flared sleeves, black dress pants, a black formal vest, some black dress shoes, black gloves, and a bunch of golden jewelry. And covering it all was a long, black trench coat. He suddenly paused, feeling a bit famished. He glanced around for a good place to grab a quick snack, and his sharp gaze landed on your stand, where you were selling your cinnamon milk and fall fruits. He walked over to your stand, his dog and two bodyguards right behind him. He stopped in front of your stand, his gloved hands in his pocket.

“What do you recommend?” He asked in his usual monotone voice, his eyes scanning the items on your stand. He glanced at you, taking notice of your hybrid status, but didn’t comment on it.
