93 Shopping with Arrora (1/2)
The black sky gradually transformed into faint grey and the glow of the stars got slowly dull. Millions of stars in the sky started cloaking their luster and slowly disappeared as if someone brighter than them was going to arrive.
Sparrows chirped an explicit background melody while divergent birds were gently flying in the clear sky and their melodious dawn chorus was clearly audible.
The first orange hued rays appeared on the skyline, which went through the clouds and the immense sky was plainly visible. The sun came out of its dwelling across the sparkling orange horizon and shone in the sky. The sparkling sun started slowly rising up and painted the blue sky in a beautiful golden color with its rays. The warm breeze could be felt and the few plants in the barren lands made a blissful smile towards the sun.
Aside from the early birds in the sky, there were two figures standing on swords and flew towards Virnam. The two figures were Don and Arrora, Don was going to a new place and he didn't want to show his powers in case he met with some trouble because it was more advantageous to him if he hid his powers from princess Darlene for a time being.
Since Arrora was a peak level great master and having a beautiful bodyguard with them was not rare among the royalty, Don decided to bring Arrora with him to meet princess Darlene.
Although Don decided to bring along Arrora, he made her wear the magical mask to change her face so no one would recognize her from the auction or anywhere. Other than the magical mask Don gave a silver pendant for Arrora to wear, at first Arrora hesitated before wearing as the silver pendant was like an ugly web of wears and metals forged into a triangle also it was considerably big to call as a pendant.
Seeing the familiar gates in the distance Don and Arrora descended to the ground and started to walk to the gates.
”What's your purpose of coming to Virnam?” Don was asked by the guard when his turn came to enter the city.
The guards had no idea the brown-haired youth before them was their king since Don had his face changed with the mask just like Arrora.
The guard looked at Don and Arrora for a moment then signaled the both of them to enter the city. When he entered the city Don was slightly surprised at seeing the crowd on the streets, unlike his first visit. It was clear that Warren's doing good as the streets had more people with all ages and races, each and every store in Don's view had at least a couple of customers.
”Let's go” Don remembered the route to reach Luther and Granner, while navigating through the maze of streets Don and Arrora noticed few petty crimes like pickpocketing or thievery which indicated the lack of soldiers and guards but this was not the time for Don to deal with these crimes.
Fortunately, no one picked Don and Arrora as their target to pickpocket and eventually both of them reached Luther and Granner.
”Truly magnificent” Arrora exclaimed when she saw the five storey building before her.
”Welcome to Luther and Granner my lord, my lady” a human girl wearing a silver dress welcomed Don and Arrora.
”Where's the section for men?” Don asked the girl while Arrora stared at the store and the clothes in wonder.
”This way my lord” the girl gestured at Don to follow her towards the stairs leaving Arrora who was still gawking around the store.
The floor for the men section had countless robes, tunics, jackets, and jewelry neatly hung in the stands.
”Your size will be there my lord” the girl led Don to the stand that surprisingly had perfect sized dresses for Don.
Don was not a picker when it comes to dresses so he just picked the clothes that were not pink, yellow, or green. While picking the clothes it was obvious to Don that most of the clothes were not high quality like his black armor or the clothes Jemma wore but he didn't care much.
”My lord, don't you want to try these on?” the girl couldn't but ask seeing Don picking the dresses like he's picking fruits from a tree.
”No, show me the other sizes” after picking clothes for him Don decided to buy clothes for the people in the castle back in Everlight.
Seeing Don taking this many clothes, the girl quickly took out a space ring and put all the clothes he chose into the ring as her smile now turned into joy thinking about her commission.
Don finished picking the clothes and grabbed one silver long-sleeved coat and black trouser which lined with grayish fur and went into the trail room to change.
”My lady” the girl said when she saw Arrora walking towards her
”My lord is in there changing” as the girl said Don walked out of the room wearing his new clothes.
”You...” Arrora was awestruck for a moment, the silver long coat perfectly fitted his well-built physique and his new face. If Don would have worn this dress with his original face he would be so handsome and attractive to any girls that lay eyes on him.
”You look great” Arrora said and closed the sales girl's mouth with her hand.
”Didn't you buy anything for yourself?” Don didn't see any clothes in Arrora's hand and hearing Don's question Arrora shook her head
”Show her the ladies section” Don said to the girl
