Chapter 510: Flower Handicraft
"Flower handicrafts to beautify your room, to beautify anything! Fragrant flower handicrafts!"
The sweet voice of a little girl rang out as people passed by, offering her merchandise to them. However, no one seemed interested in buying, and they continued walking past her.
She stood there in plain attire, a flower in one hand, while many more filled the wicker container on her back.
Despite the lack of interest from passersby, she did not give up. She kept offering her flowers with a sweet smile. Her eyes then caught sight of someone approaching, and she thought this person might be interested in her merchandise. Hope filled her gaze—maybe this time, she would succeed.
When the robed figure stopped in front of her, she froze. Beneath the robe was a handsome young man. Even so, she didn’t falter. She offered her merchandise with her brightest smile, holding out a flower toward him.
"Sir, would you like to buy it? It’s just one silver coin," she said.
The figure looked at the flower in the girl’s hand and picked it up. The figure, of course, none other than Aldrian.
To be honest, he felt pity for the child—having to do this at her age, when she should be enjoying her childhood. Scenes like this could sometimes be seen in other places as well, a reflection of the harsh realities and circumstances some people faced.
Aldrian looked at the flower for a moment. The handicraft was made from wood and crafted with beautiful detail. He looked at the child with a warm smile.
"Did you make this yourself?"
The child nodded.
