-"Can I have a moment of your time my lord?" It's meister Greenwhich creaky voice who's trying to get your attention. You are sitting on a stone bench in the middle of the royal gardens. This is your favourite spot right under a cherry blossom tree. Leaning back and looking up at the pink blossoms always had a calming effect on you and was the perfect relaxation betweem play time and tutouring. -"Of course meister Greenwhich. What do you have on your mind?" Meister Greenwhich is your tutor. He is an boring old man with a long crooked nose and fuzzy browns. But he is a good tutor, you'd give him that. -"I just spoke to your father the King. I told him about how good you have been doing your studies lately and suggested that maybe a reward would be fitting. We talked for a moment and we thought maybe you would be interested in visiting the carnival this weekend." -"What exactly is a carnival meister Greenwhich?" You ask in curiosity. You see, one who have never been outside the castle wouldn't know about a commoners way of enjoying himself. -"Ah, yes. You see a carnival always begin with a great parade of actors and artists. They do tricks, magics and bring exotic animals with them to show. After they marched their parade they take place in the great plaza and put up a lot of tents which have games and treats for sale. And for the big finale they host a large show for everyone to see in an enormous tent almost as high as the castle wall." -"Wow that sounds amazing* meister Greenwhich. But I already have artists and actors and magicians at my court already and the royal chef can make me anything I want. If I want to play games I got my brothers and my toys here to play with. Why would I leave the castle when I have everything of that here?" -"There is a special feeling to a carnival you can't get anywhere else. Besides have you never been curious how it looks like on the other side of that gray old wall?" You can't say you haven't thought about it. Living inside these castle walls kinda feels like being a fish in a bowl sometimes. But you always stopped thinking about it when you remembered how good life is here. -"I think about it princess. Come visit me at my room when you have decided if you would like to go or not. Have a pleasent day and don't forget your homework." You take a stroll around the gardens cobbled path in the gardens, giving the reward some thought. [I]What should I do?[/i] *** Welcome new player! Now is the time to make yourself a choice.
