Through gritted teeth, you bring the carriage to a sudden halt throwing everyone forward. Fine, you will get the damn prince his damn pie. If he is really going to bolt at the first opportunity, then its better to let him do it now so you can catch him and have an excuse to finish the trip with him in chains.
Without a look back, you jump out and enter the bakery. You ask for apple, you pay for it, the women tries makes too much small talk, you dodge and change the subject. With pie in hand, you exit and deliver it to the prince. Who to your surprise, has not moved.
"What am I going to do with an uncut pie? Go back and get it cut you dope"
You slam the door, go back inside, ask to get it cut, dodge more questions, force a laugh, leave, return the cut pie to the prince.
"Uhh… What about a fork? Am I supposed to eat it with my hands?"
You consider throwing it in his face. Instead you hand him the pie, and one of his handmaidens appears a spoon from out of thin air. Upon taking a bite, a look of jubilation appears on his face. You have never seen him so happy putting something in his mouth.
"Do you know what this tastes like champion? Freedom. Would you like to try a bite?" The prince takes a spoonful of pie and offers to serve it right into your mouth.
"Ill have to take your word for it my prince"
"It is not a taste that is suitable for everyone. Maybe in time."
With the boy satisfied, you are now able to get on your way.
