the room was simple design with a mirror and a single bed and one window. Shanely smiled and close the door and took of the coat. and place down the bed. Shanely look over to the mirror and look at her outfit.

"i guess...its still clear my clothes are still expensive looking" she pouted and check her outfit. 

a vested long sleeve dress with corset wrap over it. "and here i tried to long ordinary..i should have borrowed some of the maids clothes but it would cause suspension if i did"  Shanely sighed as she walked over to the window and peepd outside.

looking at the busy street of the village she entered. "i miss my days as village kid..it was most relaxing and fun days of my life" she uttered with a smile. 

Growl~ 

Shanely eyes widen and touch her tummy, she giggle "now thinking about it i haven't have any breakfast yet" she muttered as she quickly grab her coat and head down. she told the inn owner shell be out for a few hours. 

 

she skipped out and look for  a place to eat. she found one and happily ate outside as she ate her finely made porridge,  she heard screaming from behind . she turn around and saw a young boy being chased by big men. 

"come back here!" one with black hair roared 

"Boy you are so dead!" other with brown hair shouted. 

the young male being chased, gritted his teeth and tried to run faster. as they run pass Shanely she manage to see blood run down his arm. the boy jump over a carriage and to a corner. 

Shanely pouted and wonder what was happening. until she over heard someone yelled 

"Please someone get that boy!" an old lady yelp 

"why?" one male ask " he took the bag full of expensive herb i bought for my grandchild" she said. 

 

Shanely eyes widen as she look back where she last saw the boy " he took it?, i thought it was other way around" she muttered as she drank her milk. after eating Shanely decided to take a tour around town buying things she needed for the journey. 

as she stop by the bridge admiring  the clam river, she cant help but hear shouting coming form small alley way , she walked over and took a look where she saw the very young boy she saw earlier being held up by the guy with the black hair 

"damn you brat!..where is it!?" he yelled the bo grunted as he head hit against the wall 

" where the bag that you stole!" the other shouted

"you mean  the bag you stole bastards!" he shouted only to grunt again as the one holding him up slam him harder against the wall

"Grr! shut it..where is it!!" he shouted the boy bravely spat at his face " where it belongs.. to the old lady sick grand kid..." he hissed 

 

Shanely eyes widen, how noble this boy was though his clothes were common but yet his nobility was far  greater than some noble people  she knows. Shanely smiled but only to frown wen the bigger guy slam the boy harder against the wall making him grunt in pain 

"you'll pay brat!" the other said as he was about hit him. when suddenly something fast and hard slam against his side breaking 2 of his ribs, he howled in pain and drop to the ground clutching his side. the other was startled by his partner scream. " what wrong!" he yelled. he heard shuffling of feet infront of him, so he look up and Right before him was Shanely covered in her dark green coat with the hood covering the her face she pointing the head of broom at him. her stance is that of royalty. the young boy thought.

"Why you..you pay AAAAARRRH!!!!" the black haired man Scream

even thought Shanely weapon was a broom it paid no disadvantaged for her , her skills were something of different level even making a not threating object into a lethal weapon. so with a single strike. she made him drop the boy and with swift movement she made quick strike to his knee causing the broom to break in two and  making the huge man cry in pain.

once he was down, she drop the remains of the broom and grab the young boy who was in trance " come lets run before the other one will get up" she said as grab his slim wrist and run, the boy said no complains as they run father into town. they run to a small path that lead to a bamboo forest.

"ha..ha,, that was fun" Shanely panted but was startle when the young boy snatch his hand away 

"wh..who are you?" the young boy ask as he tried to catch his breath. " why'd you help me!?" he exclaimed

Shanely stood quite taking few more breath she smiled and took the hood off, at that moment that boys heart skipped, as he was over whelmed by the beauty bestowed infornt of him

"I'm ..well ..you can call me Shane" she smiled as she proudly using her old name from her younger years. she looked at the boy who gaped at her. she felt awkward him just staring there so she wave her hand infornt of him making jump and blush extremely

"y-y-your A BEAUTY!!!!" he yelled as he jump a few feet away, Shanely shock  by his behavior but she could help see it as something adorable, she let out a chuckled at the young boy making him realize what he did and put his hands together and looked down.

 

"sorry" he muttered. Shanely smiled and shook his head " dont be..may i know your name?" she ask the boy nodded and straighten up

"i'..i'm Lee Taemin..c-call me Taemin!" he let out Shanely smiled wider

"Taemin" she muttered " i'll remember that name... what you did was it true?" she ask Taemin looked at her then looked away

"yeah..dont believe me?" he muttered Shanely looked at him confusedly " why wont i believe you?" she ask Taemin groan " dont act..its clear form what i wear and my action i'm a thief and thieves are not good people" he groan

Shanely took a step forward " but  not all of them are bad.." she said Taemin scuffed " yeah, like who?" he inquired

"You" Taemins eyes widen and looked at Shanely who warmly looked at him , she reach out her hand and comb his long brown hair back

"Taemin..just because you called a thief doesn't make you a bad person...you must a reason why you do, what you do" Shanely uttered a she back away

 

" i believe in words...my past doesn't define me and Taemin i see your different from what you say you are" she smiled and patted his shoulder

"so cheer up Taemin and see yourself as the person you really are."  and with that she begun to walked away " well i have to go..it was nice meeting you Taemin" she bid goodbye as Taemin stood in his place engulfing her words to him.
