Chapter 2 We keep scamming 1

The next morning, we got ready and took our goods to the market place, Swift looked nervous but had calm down a bit, we were dressed in long clothes and long straw hat

"You better, not sell us out" I said between clenched teeth.

We walked past numerous traders and found a spot, trying our best to avoid taking the same spot we took last time, Swift brought a table made of mahogany that he rented earlier and spread a white floral material on top, arranging our goods on it.

"Buy your magic cure, for just thirty pieces of silver!" We kept shouting that, some people had gathered around us.

"What does it do?"

"Can it make me bare children?"

"My mother has a strange sickness, can it heal it?"

Anxious questions were flowing in the air. I braced up for the lies I was about telling.

"Yes, the name is Magic cure, because it works like wonders, one touch can heal all your diseases, even the hidden one" I said

"Really?" A passerby asked, he looked more curious, he was wearing a black coat.

"Tell me more" he inquired and everyone else had their ears to the ground.

Swift took the so called magic cure, high in the air.

"This is what cured my grandmother's leg problem, the moment she took it, it changed positively" he said smiling

"How are we sure, you are not trying to scam us, the medicine looks too good to be true" the man said

What's with this man? Can't he just buy the damn medicine.

Actually, What's wrong with everyone? They are all waiting for someone to buy it first...

"Trust me, I will take full responsibility if it doesn't work" I said confidently

Full responsibility? What? That's not me.

I'm going to make sure we never come here, ever again.

"Thirty pieces of silver, are you selling out someone?" A woman asked from the crowd and murmuring issued.

I was about answering, when a purple carriage came running, two guards were in front on the Welsh pony.

Everyone, stopped to stare at it, as it passed by with Murmurings again.

"Another courtesan?" I whispered asked, Swift who was beside me.

"Yeah, another courtesan" he said and sighed

"Another unfortunate soul" I said with pity

"Come on, it's not that bad" Swift said chuckling

"Hey, I heard from someone in the castle that another courtesan will be coming by the next full moon" some woman whispered to her neighbour beside her but loud enough to be heard by us because they were standing so close.

"See" I gestured to Swift

"Another courtesan, just how many does he have?" I asked Swift like he knows the answer to my question.

"Who knows? Maybe a hundred" he said

After the purple carriage was out of sight, everyone turned around, returning their focus back to me, suddenly remembering the magic cure.

An Idea suddenly came to me, I smiled and said

"Everyone, listen, The king told me to keep this as a secret but since you are all doubting the efficacy of this masterpiece, I have no choice but to say the truth, just don't let the king know that I told you..."

"What are you doing? The king? Seriously" Swift whispered cutting me short but I continued, nevertheless.

"This is the magic cure, that the king bought for one of his Courtesans!"
