The most popular guy in Babylon (1)

One would wonder what really made Percy popular. Let me help you with the puzzle. He wasn't the richest, the poorest, He wasn't even the king. I'm telling you that this guy was more popular than the king.
I guess it would be easier to believe because nobody knew the name of the king save the royal family members.
But everyone knew Percy, but Why?

Journey with me a little bit, there months ago.

The typical story of the princess getting fed up with the political drama at the palace and escaping because she didn't like the man she was to marry.

I know what you guys are thinking. Percy swoops In and saves her and they live happily ever after.

That's not what happened.

The princess was caught before she got to the palace gate and was locked up in her room.

Now this was how Percy came into the picture. He was a thief, who stole the most craziest possession at the most absurd location. His next heist was at the palace.

Risky though but only the ones with tough mind could do much.

I already know what you are thinking. Percy breaks into the palace and would be discovered by the princess and eventually escapes with her.

Could you free your mind and allow me to tell my story. I'm not saying your suspicions are wrong, not entirely though.

Percy broke into the palace but was discovered before he could escape with the Gold coin. Through the window he sneaked into the princesses room to take cover.

Initially, the princess was scared but calmed herself when she discovered he was just a harmless guy trying to make ends meet.

The princess hid him in her room**********
