Bakery

After the pretty brother left, little Megan joyously hopped back to the bakery with her pig-tails swinging to and fro. The bakery that her family owns is called "Vinnesia Bakes". This bakery is the most famous bakery in all of the Starlight Kingdom. Regardless of class, all the nobles and commoners come to get a taste of these pastries. There was even a rumor about the crown prince sneaking out to come here and buy a cake.

The Vinnesia family business is blooming with customers coming in nonstop. The family never got time to rest except on the weekends. The owner, Gustav Vinnesia, is Megan's and Theodore's papa. Theodore is little Meg's brother. Veronica Vinnesia is Gustav's wife and the two sibling's mother who also help out with baking.

Megan opens the back door to a hot and busy kitchen. Papa Vinnesia and Theodore was kneading the dough and baking, while mama Vinnesia was at the cashier filling the numerous incoming orders. Megan started playing with dough when she was 5 years old, so at 8 years old she was good at kneading the dough.

Little Meg took a stool and placed it next to the table. She climbed up the stool with her chubby legs and sat on it. Next to her was Theodore kneading dough, he saw little Meg and gave her a piece of dough for her to knead.

Megan's little chubby hands got to work and kneaded the dough. Since she gets small proportions of dough, little Meg is in charge of making small pasteries.

"Meg did you climb the tree to get an apple to eat for your break?" Asked Theodore. Her big brother was five years older than her and was ten times more experienced in baking as well. He had the same black hair and grey eyes as Megan, inheriting his mother's strong genes.

"No, I didn't. I meet a pretty brother with pretty eyes" little Meg's eyes shone as she spoke.

"Pretty brother? Megan what did I tell you about talking to strangers? Who was he? Did he do anything to you?" Theodore stopped kneading the dough and spin Megan in 360° to inspect if she was harmed.

"Little Meg you promised me that you were going to stop talking to strangers, what if you tried to harm you?" Theodore said worriedly.

"But that brother was pretty" said little Meg.

"..." Theodore didn't know what to say, she talked to a stranger just because he was pretty? Oh god.

"Brotha please don't tell mama and papa. That pretty brother didn't harm me, he said he's going to come tomorrow and play with me, he promised" said little Meg pouting making a sad puppy face. Theodore couldn't ignore that cutie face and sighed.

"Alright, but I'll go with you tomorrow and meet that pretty brother of yours okay?" Theodore said.

"Okay! Big brotha!" Megan said with a big smile.

***********

Meanwhile, on the other side, Victon swiftly ran and came home safely. The pursuers were Victon's guards and his best friend, Ben Henvor. Victon had escaped his lessons because he wanted to relax for the day, so he skipped. Ben and the guards panicked as they tried to search for the young master only for the young master to return right when dinner start. To keep his mother and father from knowing that he skipped today's lessons, Victon threatened Ben and the guards with deducing their salaries for the next three months.

"Victon you meanie! I ran a marathon and almost broke my legs to find you. My poor two legs" Ben said dramatically.

Victon glared at Ben, signaling him to shut up. Ben ignored his glaring and continued his dramatic act, "Oh this humble servant with bruised legs will search for you even in the deepest of hell that you belonged to." Ben and Victon are both 13 years old, but Victon was an inch taller so he would bend his neck down when taking to Ben.

Victon rolled his eyes when Ben said, "but seriously where did you go? You just go and came back like the whole mansion of Yvonne didn't turn upside down trying to find you. We saw you at one point but then you just vanished again. I'm soooo surprised with that speed of yours."

"I saw you guys catching up, so I hid. Then... I found a cute little girl" Victon said with a hint of adoring.

"You... playing with a child... you, Victon Yvonne, playing WITH a CHILD...I don't believe you" Ben said unbelievably.

"I'm going there tomorrow because she offered me her bread" Victon said.

"..." Ben didn't believe him. Even if Victon is ten years old, he still had a scary aura that children are not fond of. For a child to approach Victon sounds outrageous to Ben.

Later on, Ben left and Victon got read for bed. He lay there thinking about the little Lolita girl covered in flour, he chuckled and went to sleep.
