Chapter 268 - Shopping (1/2)

Regaleon and I reached the town after just a few minutes. Just like Regaleon said, the town is bustling with merchants and customers because of market day.

”Let's leave Midnight here.” Regaleon said after spotting a public stable.

Regaleon got down first and helped me after. We left Midnight at the public stables and started to look around the town square.

The town square is filled with traveling merchant that made makeshift stalls good for the day. There are many items and goods that are displayed such as fabrics, cheap jewelry, food, and the likes. People all around are busy with their own businesses.

”Let's look over there.” I pointed out one store that sells trinkets.

The stall was relatively small, only displaying small trinkets such as necklaces, earrings, rings, and hair ornaments.

”Good day sir and madam.” The stall owner welcomed. ”Do you fancy any of my items? My items are crafted with the up to date trends of young ladies.”

I smiled at the stall owner and started to look at the items in front of me. I saw a beautiful looking hair clip. It was designed with two lily flowers that are platinum colored with blue gems at the center. I picked it up admiring the craftmanship.

”Do you like it?” Regaleon who was just beside me asked.

”Yes.” I nodded looking at him with a smile.

The hair ornament was simple but elegant. I feel that it is suitable for me.

”We will buy this.” Regaleon said and gave a few pieces of silver coins to the stall owner.

”Thank you, dear customer.” The stall owner said with a business smile. ”Let me get your change.”

”No need.” Regaleon said with an air of confidence. ”Please keep the change.”

”Oh my gosh, this is too much.” The stall owner was taken aback but beamed with a huge smile after. ”Thank you very much, dear customer. Please, get other items that you like.”

”Then I will get this to pair with the hair clip.” Regaleon took a pair of blue drop earrings and a silver necklace with a small heart shape sapphire pendant.

”I will wrap them up right away, dear customer.” The stall owner said happily.

”You don't need to buy these many.” I said to Regaleon.

”This is a must.” Regaleon looked at me with eyes full of doting. ”I want to spoil you now that we are together again.” He smiled affectionately.

I felt touched with Regaleon's words. I did not really need to be bought gifts, but the feeling of getting spoiled is something I look forward to.

After buying from that stall we continued going around town square and looked at different stalls. We bought street food along the way. All in all, the trip to town was fun.

”Why don't we look inside here?” Regaleon said in passing. ”You will need some clothes.”

I looked at the store he was pointing to and saw a clothing store. It is true that I did not bring anything with me when I escaped Jennovia. The little clothes I took were all destroyed when my magic powers gone out of control. Even the magic crystal that Anna gave me was destroyed.

”Hmm.” I nodded in reply to Regaleon.

Regaleon opened the door to the clothing store and a bell rang to inform of our presence.

”Good afternoon.” A young lady in her mid-twenties came to greet us. ”What can I do for you?” She asked.

”My wife would like to try on some of your clothes.” Regaleon said nonchalantly. ”If you have some readymade everyday clothes, then it will do.”

”W-Wife…” I whispered and looked at him. I can feel that my face is burning with the word he uttered.

Regaleon teasingly smiled at me and made a 'shhh' gesture with his finger. I did not have any choice but to go through with his playful act.

'But calling me wife…' I felt so happy inside that my heart was beating fast.

If someone look at us in perspective, they will think that we were young newly wedded couple. Just by thinking this made me internally scream in joy.

”Oh yes of course.” The lady said with a smile. ”If you can come right this way young madam, there are ready made clothes to pick out.”

The young lady took my hand and dragged me towards the back section. I looked around to see Regaleon looking at the beautiful clothes on display at the front of the store.
