The King holding his Daughter arrived to the haunted tavern. Before opening the door to the tavern, he told one of his guard to enter and let the door open. "Huh? You're not entering first, Daddy?" With a smile he whispered. "You'll see why." The Guard entered, a man shrieked inside. "THE KING, HIS DAUGHTER, AND FIVE GUARD ARRIVED. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"


Charle let out a chuckle while his Daughter was looking around. "How did he know? There are no windows on the front!" They got inside the Tavern. Just next to the door is a man trying to hide himself, cowering and whimpering while slightly balancing himself in fetal position. The King pointed at him while making his way to a nearby round table. "This is Ben. The local crazy man. He has the uncanny ability to tell who's coming." The King sat down with his Daughter sitting on him, meanwhile the Guards dispersed, two staying close to the King. A waiter came with one plate of pancakes with a large amount of syrup and a flagon of mead. "HUH? HOW DID HE KNOW?" Felicia ask, eyes widened. The King once laughed again.


"I'm glad you didn't ask me more about the place. It wouldn't have been as fun as seeing your reaction!" He chuckled, preparing the fork for her. "Oh, wait Daddy! There's too much syrup! I wanna eat next to you!" The two guards next to them moved from their spot, allowing her to sit where she wants. The King let the fork rest on her second breakfast. "Of course, of course! I wouldn't want your pretty dress sullied now! ...But that would give me a good reason to bring you to Taylor's Dream, hm?" "TAYLOR'S DREAM? YES!" She hugged her Dad before sitting next to him. "But I don't wanna get syrup over me either way! Sorry Daddy!" He drank some of his mead while watching her sit and eat.


Another waitress came to their table and bowed down. "Lady Fortune knows you are here for her. Please finish your meal and head to her room upstairs, the second door to your left. The door will be unlocked." She said before going away. "Wow, did they really know?" She looks back up. "Yep! That is how it works here. The haunted tavern is widely known for it's...Anticipation aspect. They know what the customers wants in advance. The place itself isn't haunted." She tilted her head. "But how is isn't haunted if they see the future?" "...Because you don't need ghosts to see the future!" "I guess that makes sense!" She continued to eat, but in a hurried fashion.


After finishing their meal, they went to Miss Fortune's room. Purple clothes littered it along with other strange knickknacks and artifacts. In the middle of the room is a table, and she was just on the opposite end of the door. Clothes in purple, a piece of fabric hiding her mouth, she was looking at the duo entering the room. Felicia was once again in the hands of her Father. The Guards stood up outside, two monitoring downstairs. "Ahhh...Charle! It is so good to see you! How is your Family?" She says in a foreign accent. "Very good! All of them are enjoying their day at the Castle...Except little Felicia here, we decided to spend it together since her idol is in town!" She rose a hand toward the seat in front of her. "That is good to hear! I suppose one of you would like to start?"


Felicia and the King looks at each others. "Would you like to get your fortune first?" Charle ask to Felicia, she tilted her head. "Ummm...I'd like you to start!" She said with a smile. "Okay, sweetie!" He brought her down to the floor. "Lady Fortune talks to the person alone so you'll have to wait for me outside, okay?" "Okay!" She gave him a big hug before doing so, she then went next to the Guards outside and waved goodbye while he did the same, closing the door. He then sat in front of the woman who began to play with her cards. "She is lovely. I suppose you wish for daily cards?" "Yes...I don't really want to for the day, but I might as well." She stops her cards placement. If you do not wish to read the cards, you may allow your Daughter inside instead. I'm sure her future will be more pleasant to count." He smiled up. "Ah...Speaking of future. You remember when you said I would have three child last time?" "Of course, it been almost seven months now."


"Well...I've tried my best to change this, instead I have four." The woman boasted a laugh. "Oh dear...! Please don't make these sorts of mistake again!" "They're not mistakes, they're just a handful! You know how it is?" He chuckled. "Yes, yes, very good thing you have maids...Disciplined Maids! They care for your children...More than you would expect them to." "Yes, I'm a very lucky man...! But I'd prefers getting my readings later, I don't feel up for it at the moment." "I understand, you wouldn't want to ruin your day if any bad cards would present themselves. This is only natural...Do not worry, I doubt anything bad would be here." He smiled and nod. "I'll bring Felicia in." She nodded back.


He went outside, Felicia gave him a bright smile, fists barely clenched toward him in anticipation. "Wow! That was fast! What did she say?" "Ah, don't worry about it! Your turn, sweetie!" "YAY!" She quickly got in, the King barely had time to ruffle her head that she was already sat on the chair. "So! What will be my future?" "See you, sweetie!" "See you Daddy!" She waved at him, he waved back while closing the door. She looks back at the woman. "Ah, no need to be in a hurry my dear!" She prepared the cards. "Today is a special day for you, girls your age are usually at home and cannot leave it. It is good your Father spend time with you!" "Isn't he amazing?" She balanced her legs on the chair while saying so, letting herself approach the woman and peeking on the table "Yes! All of his cards points out at how great he is. He is a formidable man!" "Ohhhh, can you say to me what was his cards?" "I'm sorry dear, but all the talk between I and your father will remain a secret...Until he talks to you about it." "Oh? So it is the same for me?" "Yes! This is to prevent any sort of intimacy issues that could ensues."


She smiled up. "So if the Cards are bad, or point to something that was only meant to be for me, only I and you will know?" "Exactly." "Ohhhh, this is so great!" "This also means that you could attempt to do like your father and change the future...If you so wish." "Hm, but he said only to change the bad stuff! That only the positive should stay!" "This is a wise decision, I hope your cards will be good, little girl!"


She prepared the cards, presenting them in a pack to the little girl. "Please take this card." With one hand she slid one card toward Felicia, she picked up the card, revealing the Queen of Heart. "This Card is yours. It represents you. Once it will be with the others cards, it should reveal itself once more to you...Along with your fate." She took back the cards and bundled it up with the rest, doing a little shuffle before passing them to Felicia. With a hand gesture, she rubbed the table. "Please shuffle the deck and take eight cards. Place them in any way you would like them to be set.


Felicia took her time shuffling the deck, wondering what will come up. She wasn't sure how it would work, but she was hoping for good luck. Placing the Cards on the table, the fortune teller looks at them thoroughly before giving her answer to her.
