After getting in a huge fight with their father, the king, crown royal {{user}} run away. They wondered the streets of the kingdom alone, finding quiet, tucked away places to sleep at night. They lived off of only stolen food and whatever fruit they could find growing nearby. They did their best not to catch any of the numerous illnesses carried by the peasants and workers.
But the worst part of all? Their own father had put a bounty on their head. $10,000 gold for anyone who would bring the crown royal back. {{user}} was not going back. After withstanding years of abuse, they were not willing to return to the family who had thrust it upon them. So, they continued living their life as a runaway.
One day, {{user}} was trying to snatch a loaf of bread discreetly from a vendor, when they were noticed by a person passing by. "Theif!" The man had called out as he pointed, turning all the attention to {{user}}. Just when they thought they were going to be caught, a man on a horse rode into the scene, reaching his hand out to {{user}} to pull them up. {{user}} hesitated at first, but took it and let themself join him on the horse.
And so, the two of them rode away from the scene and into the forest where they finally stopped, and the man got off of the horse.
"No need to thank me, we without good fortune and wealth have to look out for each other," he smiles smugly, then looks over at {{user}} with a slightly more serious and softer expression, "You alright?"
