It"s been 2 hours since we opened the doors and I think I can say that Asters is a success. Right now we are packed any floor you go can see many people buying or trying our products.And of course today both G.o.ds of Wealth are coming and I plan to get as many coins as I can for both of them.
Speaking of the Devil.
"Prince William you are here, where are your sides?"
"Don"t you know is your job to bring them so I can rob them?"
"They will be coming later with their families. Why, am I not enough for you?"
"Only if you spend as much as you can. Come I will introduce to you our store."
"*sigh* please be kind with my wallet"
"I"m always kind Prince. Here is the beauty section, are you going to get gifts for Her Majest of course right?"
Will smiled weakly at me.
"Haha, of course. Do a package of the ones you recommend for her but just one line ok? And for father a perfume should suffice you can let my brother gift him the rest."
"What about you?"
"Haa... give me what you recommend."
"Sure~"
Pulling one of the attendants apart I a.s.sembled all the products in different gift boxes and ask to be sent later the Palace.
"Should we go to the next?"
"En"
On our way to the 3rd floor one of the security guards came to me
"Excuse me Miss, the Crown Prince has arrived, Sir Leon is talking with them and asked me to inform you"
"Thank you, you can go"
Turning to face William I thought I should drag him with me to endure the annoying couple.
"Your Brother is here, let"s meet them"
"I"m really fine without seen them though."
"Shut up. I need a suffering partner"
Dragging him we soon met two annoying birds and a suffering soul.
Looking at Leo"s face you could see traces of impatience, anguish, anger and tiredness. Hang in there Leo, I"m here to save you!
"Prince Albert, Miss Julia. I"m honored to have you come to the opening of my store, I was just about to guide Prince William to the clothing section, would like to come with us?"
"Yes please"
Quick and concise. Without her routine nonsense Julia is abiding to our deal
"She is more lovely this way indeed"
"Please follow me then. Leo stay here to welcome the guests please"
"Yes Miss"
I can feel how relieved he is that he don"t have to come with us.
I started to walk in front of them and Will quickly came to my side"
"Oi what did you do to her? Teach me"
"Fufu~ we made a deal~"
"Oh. What deal?"
"She came to ask for help to fix the status quo with your mother. In exchange for my advise I asked her to be quiet as possible when she sees me. Isn"t she more lovely this way?"
"So you were the one behind her sudden interest to the Queen"s training. I thought that Brother create courage to put her to do it"
"Please stop dreaming. The probability of your brother forcing her into something has negative values. We are here"
I will ask for Sarah"s help so we can make this quick
"This lady will help us find attires that matches with your tastes. Lady Julia why won"t you come first"
"Lady Julia nice to meet you, my name is Sarah. What can I be of help today?"
"I need 3 summer dresses and 2 evening gowns. I want something similar to what Miss Cecile used at the Royal banquet. And for the summer dresses I want something colorful"
"Too little"
"Sarah, bring that striped jumpsuit and three sets of summer clothes besides the ones Miss Julia asked."
"Sure thing Miss"
"But-"
"Trust me, now that you"re the future gown princess you need a lot of clothes to attend the gatherings."
"En"
You should always be obedient like that dear. Is so less annoying.
"What about the two of you"
"You can do the same as the previous floor. Father doesn"t need anything from here. Ah, mother asked me to buy a dress for her to attend you mother birthday"
"I"m just here to accompany Julia"
"I have the perfect dress for Her Majesty! And Prince Albert we cant have that, even if you don"t buy for yourself you should at least buy some gifts to the Queen. You don"t have to worry, I know Her Majesty preferences. I"ll select a few clothes for her what you think?"
"*sigh* with you"
"Great! Oh here it is the cloths for Miss Julia, quickly go to prove"
"Let"s ply doll dressing"
"Sarah, while she tries the dresses can you please select 3 sets of working cloth, 2 sets for evening party , and 4 casual sets for Prince William? Also do you know that strapless black dress that has gold embroidery? Get it for Her Majesty and select a few pieces that can be used in a tea party"
"Yes Miss, I"ll be right back. Will His Highness try the clothes?"
"No need. I trust Ceci"s people"
Julia didn"t take long to show us the cloths, and I must applaud my team of designers, the clothes really are to die for. Maybe the FL aura helped a bit, but my clothes are still the main point of my appreciation.
"We will take them all"
This phrase even when said by the Sc.u.m Prince is still music to my ears.
"Thank you for your patronage. For where should I send to?"
"The Royal Palace, of course"
Hm?
Maybe I heard wrong.
"Royal Palace right?"
"Are you deaf?"
"... I don"t want to commit any mistakes"
Deaf? No, non. Is just that the phrase is too absurd.
Is she living in the Royal Palace even without being his fiancée? Isn"t this prohibited?
"Oi, Will, they are living together?"
"Haaa.... they are. They are even sleeping in the same room, can you believe it? Mom doesn"t talk to brother anymore. She gave up on correcting him. We are all so tired of their nonsense that we let almost anything they do pa.s.s. That"s why we were really happy when Julia went to the Queen Training"
"Holy fondue! Doesn"t it mean you"ll be soon be an uncle?"
"Don"t even joke about it. I just got gooseb.u.mps all over. Do you ever imagined how annoying their child will be?"
"I did. And also imagine that the child will have a high status then me and I won"t be able to teach him"
"Haha. Good luck"
"Come, lets go to the last floor and then I will take you to the cafe so you can try our specialty drink"
...
"Prince Albert and Miss Julia why don"t you get a jewelry for couples?"
"Sounds interesting, show us"
"What about a necklace? We these models, please have a look"
I bet 10 gold coins that he will choose something that screams Crown Prince"s property, keep out.
"This one"
"Sure enough"
The design that he chose is an image chosen by the client. Each necklace has half of the image and in it is written his/hers only that.
"What pendant do you want? A heart? A circle?"
"Do it with royal crest."
"... is this even permitted?"
William please come and put some sense into your brother.
No, don"t ignore and pretend this is not your problem, come back here!
"Didn"t I say to do it? Just do it, this is not something you should worry about"
I should never had asked. Spent my good intention.
"Sure, I will show Prince William somethings that Her Majesty asked. This Lady will show to you the rest of the products available. I hope you enjoy what we offer, if you excuse me"
I can"t take this Sc.u.m anymore. Dragging Will to the other side of the floor, I chose some jewelry for Her Majesty and a pocket watch with His Majesty initials engraved. As for William, I one of each product on the masculine side to him.
He should compensate me for all the neurons that were burn since his brother arrived.
Pa.s.sing by the Sc.u.m Prince and Squirrel I remember them to pa.s.s by the 2nd floor and pick some beauty products and that they should create their own perfume so that just both of them.
As possessive as Albert is, is a foregone conclusion that he will buy it since is another way to mark his territory.
And now the finally awaited cafe!
Maybe you were not awaiting, but right now I"m starving.
After enjoying a nice cappuccino with a torte and making Will taste almost half of the menu I bid him send him out and went back to just sell beauty.
I should go back and escort the Crown Prince you say? Sorry don"t know who this is. Look that Count seems to need help. Let"s go there and help.
