A man came to the merchant district to buy some tools needed for his occupation only to find out that it was busier than usual.

"Hey what is with all this crowd today?" He asked someone in front of him.

"The emperor's messenger just announced to everyone that one of the royal children is going to open a new shop in the female district."

"Do you know which royal child it is?" he asked with eager eyes.

"I don't know, but since it is in the female market district, it is definitely one of the female heirs. Otherwise why else would otherwise everyone gather here?" It was public knowledge that all chid of the emperor are beautiful, especially his daughters. All his majesty's daughters were known to be renowned beauties in the empire. This often caused wherever they go to be often crowded by men trying to at least witness them before they die.

"All right thank you" The man said before running of to the female district.

"Hold on, don't go there young man. That place is so crowded to the point where the outer edge of female district is inaccessible due to people." But his advice was lost in the sea of noise among the market district.

From this it was possible to see how much admirer and fans the daughters of the emperor had. But even admirers and fans wouldn't let them pass the elimination round of the competition and enter the main competition.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seeing the crowd gathered outside the shop, restrained by the police, I smiled. I took a board and went outside to hang it under the sign of the shop. The board read 'Opening discount for the first day'. Seeing me come out the crowd outside went silent. I hung the board under the name of my shop, which read 'Luxury Meals'. The shop that I opened was a restaurant. There were 2 reason why I picked the female district to open my restaurant:

One-To make everyone think that it was one of the great renowned beauties of the empire that was opening a store, after the royal messengers advertised a royal child was opening a shop in the female district. Thus, gathering a crowd so big that they will all come and see what the store is.

Two-This shop was made targeting the male customers that are dragged around by their female partners for shopping. Which man wouldn't be tired after being dragged around to shop with their partner? Then imagine that man smelling the sweet fragrance of food after being tired. He would be compelled to buy something from here.

"Oi kid when will our princess arrive?" Asked a man among the crowd

"Princess? What princess are you talking about?" I replied after turning back to answer him

"We heard the royal messenger saying one of the princess were going to open a shop here." He answered.

"No, the messenger said one of the royal children was going to open a shop, and you assumed it was one of the princess."

Hearing what I said the expression of the people in front changed quickly to shock from expectation.

"Then which royal children is going to arrive?" Unable to believe what he heard he asked.

"No one is going to arrive because I am already here. I am John Field, son of Emperor James the 2nd, and this is my shop 'Luxury Meals'." Hearing this many of the people at the front got angry and started moaning. Soon the started shouting and cursing at their misfortune, and among other things directing their insults at me.

Not bothering to listen to them I entered the shop. I walked through the door as I observed the interior.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The front of the shop was made from transparent glass that enabled one to see the inside from out but stopped them from seeing the outside world from inside the restaurant. Thus, making the inside of the shop dark, if there are no light available.

The floor was made out thick glass which went over the water that had some unique colourful coral surrounded by a beautifully enchanting fishes. The water had a tinge of blue luminosity to slightly give a shade of light in the dark shop. The shop was again illuminated by the light coming from the garden outside which was beautifully laid out with all sorts of unique flowers that attracted all sorts of insects to them. However, none of those insect dared to enter inside the shop.

There were 10 sets of table with 2 chairs available on each table. The table were made from a special black glossy wood, that had strips of cyan glowing at the edge of the table. The chairs were a pairing match to the table as it was made out the same material as the table while the armrest of the chair had the cyan glow.

There were no decoration on the wall or anything, as it was plain black. The room carried on forward until it reached a section where it lead of to the kitchen. However, before that there was a desk that separated the kitchen from the hall. The desk too was made out the black glossy wood, while it was cared with lots florals which glowed with gentle colours matching the atmosphere of the shop. There was a rectangle glass plastered on the desk, which had the menu of the restaurant carved on it, which too glowed in gentle colours.

Overall the atmosphere of the shop convened was gentle and serene.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, nearly forgot." I turned around to the glass wall that lead outside and activated a switch. This caused a sign to appear outside, which could be read as 'Rules to follow' and 'Open'. Under the 'Rules to follow' sign it read:

1.Pay first, then eat.

2.One person per chair, maximum of 20 people.

3.No kids under the age of 10 without any supervising adult, and evidence must be shown to prove you are above the age of 10.

4.Any damage caused inside the shop must be paid.

5. Membership must be acquired if you want to participate in special events set by the restaurant or want personal ingredients to be cooked. The ingredients cooked will be charged depending on the mood of the owner.

6.No food is to be wasted, and when you are finished eating either leave or order more.

7.This restaurant has the right to blacklist anyone, the owner finds annoying.

8.Food will not be served outside of opening time. Privacy can be requested to block people from outside seeing you.

9.This shop welcomes everyone.

10.The owner gets to decide how much serving you can have and when you should leave.

11.More rules to be added later. Only those who are willing to follow these rules can enter my restaurant.

Next to that under the Open sign it had a different sign saying, 'This shop sells very expensive menu unless there is a discount going on.'

As soon as the open sign was on the police outside slowly directed the crowd. Majority of the crowd left, after finding out that no princess was coming, and it was the shop of another royal child. Still some were curious and wanted to enter. They felt strange seeing so many rules they had to follow, but from what they could see from the see-through glass outside the shop, the restaurant looked dark and gloomy inside.

Soon, someone turned the handle of the door leading to the restaurant and entered. He saw that what they saw outside was just vastly different from what they saw from inside the shop.

"Welcome to Luxury Meals." The person that greeted him was young teen, that was standing at the other side of the shop behind a desk.
