Where in the world are we going where we need to put so much effort into our outfits?

Asked Lara several times. Eunice and Ximena did not answer, only giving her a smile in place of an answer. They just got on the carriage and moved a great distance toward an unknown place.

“Huh…”

Soon afterward, they arrived at a dessert shop in the Dandelion luxury shopping district.

It was the place where Demian and his comrades were kicked out for being Barbarians and where they resorted to violence. It was said that Lampion destroyed the shop, but by the time Lara and the gang arrived, it had already been fixed. The shop was packed, rich customers stopped their carriages and went inside in pairs. The shop was decorated with fancy and bright lights. The employees were dressed in nice clothes. The shop was so successful that everyone passing through the street peeped through the shop at least once.

Lara clung to the window with her shoulders giddy with excitement. She kept losing control of the corners of her mouth so it was difficult to control her expression. Eunice poked Lara on the side.

“Hey, it’s going to be fun, right?”

“Nope.”

“Don’t lie. I can hear your snorting.”

Eunice opened the carriage door with her shoes on. Ximena pulled out a black fan the size of a tray. Lara managed to hold her composure but she followed her two friends with a lot of laughter around her eyes.

“Welcome, ladies!”

“Welcome!”

Not enough with fancy dresses, they were even wearing expensive ornaments. The three ladies who had unique vibes got off in front of the dessert shop.

Eunice said with a smile.

“This shop is lousy.”

Ximena chipped in.

“I’m here because I heard this shop holds a high standard for their customers. Doesn’t seem so though, so disappointing.”

Lara almost developed cramps in her stomach, trying to hold back her laughter. They entered the shop under the guidance of the workers who had become stiff. When one of them told the employees to bring whatever the most expensive one is, Lara laughed again. After sitting down, Ximena covered her face with her fan and whispered to Lara.

“Now tell me who it is.”

“Huh?”

“The people who bullied your lover, just tell your big sis. I will dust off their souls.”

“What? What are you going to do?”

“You don’t have to know that. Hurry up and tell me. I can’t just take anyone and harass them. We’ll just get another innocent victim then. My dear Lara can’t bear to see such a thing because only her mask is a villainess.”

“I don’t know who it is.”

“It can’t be helped then.”

Ximena leaned her back against the chair and sat in an arrogant position. Her pink dress spread out and she slowly waved her black fan.

The shop was crowded and the table where Lara and her friends were sitting was close to the center in the large hall. As they were dressed up in fancy and intense outfits, it was only natural for them to catch the eyes of other customers. If Lara had not been familiar with such gazes, it would have been very uncomfortable.

But this was nothing to her. Lara opened her arrogant eyes languidly and whispered to Eunice.

“Everyone must have fallen for you,”

Eunice laughed out loud. She replied.

“Crazy bish.”

Soon after, the dessert they ordered came out. The nicely dressed employees put a bite-sized dessert on a pretty plate and put it down one by one. The dessert itself was not bad. They could see why this shop was the most famous dessert shop in Dandelion.

However, Ximena glanced at the place with no interest and opened her mouth.

“Can I…”

She was about to tell them spitefully that she wanted to speak to the manager. But, suddenly, there was a huge commotion outside. Exclamations that were close to screaming, heavy footsteps that sounded like the army was moving, and the roar of the well-spoken aide.

“The promised glory of this land, Acerus Elin Tarragon! His Imperial Highness, the Crown Prince!”

Get out of the way, shut your mouth, and lower your head.

The voice of the aide was clearly heard in the ears of Lara and her friends in the store. Ximena, who raised her nose and was about to cause trouble, stood up first.

“Hey, why would the Crown Prince come here?”

“I don’t know.”

“You didn’t hear anything about this? I thought you’re close to him.”

“Nope. He is close to Demian.”

Lara also wondered why Acerus came to the shop. He had to be busy preparing for the Northern expedition.

Eunice reluctantly stood up and said with a face of disapproval.

“This doesn’t feel good.”

“Why?”

“He beat us to it. Why else would the Crown Prince come here? You said he’s your lover’s friend.”

“No way.”

Lara thought that was impossible. Even though Acerus was an extraordinary member of the Imperial family, there was no way the Crown Prince himself came to the dessert shop to get back at them for Demian.

“Here comes the Crown Prince!”
