The Cursed Prince's Strange Bride

Even though most of the villagers were more focused on other things, they could not help but throw curious glances at them.

In order to not draw any more attention to themselves, Harvey suggested they all change into common clothing like the rest of the villagers, so they would easily blend in and mix with the crowd.

Susan was excited about it, hoping this was a chance to finally change into an article of clothing like the one Alicia was wearing.

As they tried to find the nearest clothing store, they passed by many people crowding around a man who was seated on a stool. There was another stool across from him and a mat on the floor with different kinds of objects.

Curious, the group went to watch what was happening since people seemed eager to watch too, and Alicia was a bit surprised when she realized he was a shaman.

Didn't this kingdom forbid witchcraft? How come a shaman was right here in the middle of the streets? Or were they not the same thing?

Harold could see the confusion on Alicia's face as she watched the shaman read the fortune of a young lady.

He didn't know how to tell her that this wasn't considered "witchcraft". Some werewolves were lucky enough to have divine gifts from the Moon goddess, even if it were necromancy. But witches were... well, witches.

Now that he thought about it, it didn't make any sense to him either.

The shaman called for the others to come and have their fortunes read, but one man from the crowd complained about how expensive it was, accusing him of ripping them off their money, while some called him a scam and a shaman of doom.

The Shaman paid him no mind as he continued to shake his tambourine with his eyes closed while he was muttering some words.

"Give me some silver coins," Susan asked Williams in an impatient tone.

"What? Why?" Williams frowned at her. "Don't tell me you want to get yourself involved in that?"

"Just give me!" She said impatiently as she stretched out her hand to him.

"I have none."

​ "What do you mean you have none?"

"I came out to look for you in a hurry, so I didn't take anything with me." He explained to her.

"Even though I came out in a hurry, I never forget to take coins with me," Lance said proudly as he gave her his full pouch of gold coins.

At the same time, Harvey handed her three gold coins too, and she didn't think twice before snatching Harvey's instead, and excitedly ran to the front, leaving a displeased Lance who was glaring at Harvey.

Meanwhile, Alvin looked at the single silver coin he held in his hand before he returned it to his pocket as though nothing had happened.

"Can you really see the future? Can you tell me what the future holds for me?" Susan asked as she sat down across from the shaman, who was still lost in the spirit.

"Will I get married to a very handsome man?" She asked as she threw the 3 coins on the mat in front of him.

Williams shook his head at her. Of everything to ask, that was what she chose? Williams mused unbelievably.

He stopped shaking his tambourine immediately and opened his eyes to look at the coins. When he saw them, his eyes lit up.

Without saying a word, he handed her a cup filled with sticks for her to pick one, and she wasted no time before picking one up and handing it to him.

He looked at the stick and shook his head.

"You will never get married," he declared, and most of the people in the crowd gasped as soon as he said that.

The little group with Harold watched the scene in front of them each with varying degrees of surprise, amusement, and displeasure.

Perhaps the person who was most displeased by the shaman's announcement was Lance, while Williams, Alvin, and Harvey, who didn't have faith in the shaman, were amused. Harold watched with a blank expression, while Paulina and Luciana didn't know how to feel or react.

Alicia, on the other hand, was taken aback by the shaman's words. If he was a con artist or a fake shaman, wasn't he supposed to be telling her something she wanted to hear? Why would he say something like that to her? Or did he say it with the hope that she would ask for a solution and then he would get more money from her?

Susan's excitement died immediately, and she frowned at him.

"What do you mean by that?!" She asked angrily.

"You are not going to marry anyone." He rephrased as though that was the answer she was searching for.

"WHY?" Susan barked at the man, startling him, and immediately, Williams stepped forward.

"It's your fate. You won't get marrie..."

"SHUT YOUR FILTHY LYING MOUTH! HOW DARE YOU?!" Susan yelled angrily as she stood from her seat.

"You are a scam, are you not? You took my coins and--"

"Sorry," Williams apologized to the startled Shaman as he dragged Susan away from there, who continued to yell and curse at the shaman as he dragged her away.

Susan was even more enraged when she saw Alvin standing there with his eyes gleaming with amusement while Lance stepped towards her.

"Don't worry, my lady. He is wrong! I'm going to make you my w--"

"Shut your mouth!" Susan snapped at Lance before he could finish, shutting him up.

"You should know better than to take his words to heart," Williams said, trying to comfort her.

"Let's get going," Harold said, and started to walk away from there, but Alicia stopped him.

"You should go. I am curious to know what he would say about you," Alicia said to Harold, but he shook his head.

"I'm not interested in things like that," Harold said, but Alicia insisted.

"Come on, just try it. At least that way, we will know if he's real or not..."

"He is not real!" Susan hissed at Alicia, and Harold turned to glare at her, making her press her lips together as she looked away from them.
