He woke up in the morning, Lora was still asleep comfortably beside him. He smiled and stayed there looking at her sleeping. After a few minutes, she slowly opened her eyes and froze when they had eye contact.

She blushed and then noticed that she was wrapped in the blanket while he was laying without it. She immediately stood up "I'm sorry young prince I didn't mean to bother you".

Marco giggled "don't worry about it I don't mind and you didn't take the blanket from me so don't feel bad".

After the interaction he stood up and looked around he found all eyes on him and Lora. He gave them a smile and scratched his head.

He sat down and began thinking of a plan. "Let's see at the moment we stand out due to our lack of normal clothing."

That's when he remembered the 30 copper coins that he had in his pockets. Marco turned around to look at the guards.

"Alex how much would a set of commoner clothes cost", he asked.

The captain began to think, placing his fingers in his chin. Marco couldn't help but think about the statue of the thinker from Night At The Museum.

After thinking for a minute or two Alex answered: "clothing for men would cost about 20 copper as for women 25".

Rex nodded he began to form the rest of his plan.

Rex looked at his stats in surprise "how come my stats for stamina and agility increased?"

Ding 🤖 "Well after that long walk you had your physic improved a bit. Even if you ended up getting carried like a sack of potatoes you still worked out more than the idiot prince ever did."

(("Do you really have to remind me about that."))

He looked at the guards "follow me I have something I want to ask Maria".

The guards nodded and followed. When they arrived at the house Maria was waiting for them. She looked a little nervous as the group got closer.

Marco looked at her and dipped his head in respect "Miss I was wondering if you would be willing to let me purchase 3 sets of your husband's clothes for 60 copper coins"

Maria looked at him in surprise. She began to weigh her options but in the end nodded "just give me a minute and I'll get them for you".

They waited at the entrance until she brought the clothes. He gave one to Alex and Brad keeping one for himself.

He looked at the rest of the group "don't worry we'll get clothing for you as well".

Marco turned to Maria and thanked her. He knew that the only reason she was helping him was because he charmed her and increased their friendship but still he felt grateful.

They headed back into the woods and stopped. Marco looked at the group and smiled bitterly " For the moment we have 2 problems, the first one is that all of us still haven't found clothing so we can easily be identified as possible survivors of the kingdom".

He looked at each one to make sure they were listening "the second is that we have no money to start building our strength. I know that all of you here are strong. That's why I ask you to hunt some monsters so that we can sell them and buy clothing for all of us."

The group nodded now that they had a way to blend in they would have no problem selling monster remains. They began to split up into 2 groups and scanned the area.

After 3 hours they regrouped. In total, they had hunted 5 Wolfs, 3 horned rabbits, and 2 flaming foxes.

Alex, Brad, and Marco went towards the village carrying the meat, claws, and fangs from the monsters. At first, they were a little hesitant to bring him with them but in the end, they had to follow his orders.

After asking around they found a trader and received 3 silver and 2 bronze coins.

(("Hey LEAD can you show me the currency?"))

Ding 🤖 "sure here they are".

Copper =$ 1

Bronze =$ 10

Silver =$ 100

Gold = $ 1,000

Platinum =$ 10,000

(("So in total, we got 320 dollars worth of coins. We need 70 coins for the clothing of Jack, Anna, and Lora. That leaves us with 250 coins."))

After buying the clothes they began heading back to the forest. As they were about to leave the village he found children laying in the ground on one of the alleys.

He quickly ran towards them and found 4 sickly children. Alex and Brad ran after him "wait don't go there" they yelled.

When the three got closer Marco asked: "What happened to them".

"Sir they are starving, while you were buying the clothes Brad was getting info. I think they belong to an orphanage that was closed."

Marco looked around "give me some of the rations that we have".

He fed them and sat them against the wall. He turned to the Captain and Brad "Alex walk around the village and find as many of the children as you can. Brad go and take the clothes to the rest and bring them here."

They both refused to go but Marco ordered them. Brad and the rest came back not much later and they began helping Alex to find the children. After an hour they had found another 5 giving them a total of 9 kids.

The children were about the age of 9. After one woke up they asked them if it was all of them. The small girl nodded and fell unconscious again.

Marco looked at them with sadness. He looked at Brad. "Go and buy 4 blankets".

He began feeding the kids as they waited for Brad to return. Once he came back Marco took the blankets "each one of you takes 2 children and let's head back to the forest".

The guards looked at him in surprise "sir with all the children we can't ensure your safety" replied Lora.

Marco shook his head "I can't leave these kids here. These people turned a blind eye to these kids, we have nowhere to put them here. In the forest, we could at-least provide them with a temporary shelter.

The group nodded and began walking towards the forest.
