Chapter 40 - Waste Of Time (1) (2/2)

“Are you done with your shopping?”

‘Wasn’t this the same person who tried to get himself out of going shopping together just this morning?’

“What are you doing here?”

“I was in the area when I saw your carriage. Are you still far from done?” Alexcent looked around her impatiently.

Lunia glanced at the clerk who had served them earlier. As she saw the clerk unable to close her mouth and staring at the two in shock, Lunia couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

“You’re just in time, Alec. Out of these two dresses which one do you think is prettier?”

Amethyst looked up at him with large sparkling eyes and took turns in bringing the dresses near her frame, asking him to choose one. Alec realized he was reliving the horrors of the other day and quickly called the clerk over, who finally seemed to come to her senses as she approached them rigidly.

“Yes, Your Highness?”

“Pack everything from here to there,” he waved his hand but then thought of something else. “Better yet, just pack everything here and send it to the palace. Including the ones that my wife is holding.”

The madam looked ready to faint.

“Alec?!” As Amethyst spoke in a surprised tone, Alexcent coolly met her gaze and continued.

“What are you contemplating about? If you like them, just buy them all. What a waste of time to choose between two.”

“You…you—”

“Yes?” He rose an eyebrow, challenging her to speak something against him in public. But she was only impressed by him.

“Nothing, you’re awesome.”

Alexcent was as awesome as the main character in her favourite novel. She showed him a thumbs up and smiled widely.

The clerk seemed deep in shock, as the person she had just looked down on was the wife of the prince. Then shocked again by the fact that the famous prince of blood had just bought the entire shop for his wife. She couldn’t fathom which she found more surprising. Probably both.

“Are you still not done yet?” Alexcent asked in an agitated voice.

The clerk finally came to her senses and started to move hurriedly. Even though she was busy packing, she found the time to discreetly approach Amethyst and whisper to her.

“My Lady, I am so sorry for my rudeness and not having recognized you earlier on. Please don’t hold it against me.”
