Kabanata 8.
Apparently, the girl in front of me is from Ravella family. Ravella family is an aristocrat family who are known for having the ability to control arachnids. Spider for example.
In Zann-ar, people with ability are very rare. So rare that only four aristocrat family get to maintain their ability by making sure that the blood line will continue.
"Madam... Madam, there are so many spiders on the ground," bulong sa akin ni Erida.
"Just step on it. Why? Are you afraid of spiders?" Tanong ko sa kaniya. Hindi ko na hinintay pa ang sagot ni Erida.
"Thanks for entertaining me, Lady Sianara Ravella. It's nice meeting you. Your feet, you should cherish it. Next time you will not be so lucky. Someone will cut them off for me. Be careful."
Nagpatuloy na ako sa paglalakad.
"No, stop right there! Where are you going!"
Natawa ako dahil sa malakas niyang sigaw.
"Erida, signal the guards. Tell them to shut her up. I'm done playing with her."
"Yes, Madam."
"Hey! I'm not done with you yet! Who are you?"
Tumigil ako sa paglalakad.
"Let her off this time," pahayag ko ng maramdaman kong dumaan ang isang guard sa aking tabi.
Nagpatuloy kami sa paglilibot ni Erida. Hindi ko na inalala pa si Sianara Ravella dahil alam kong hindi niya ako magagawang sundan.
Ezekon's people are also on different level. They are all strong and capable. I don't need to worry about that girl.
And I'm very serious when I advised her to cherish her feet because I could feel the murderous intent from one of the guards earlier.
"Madam, we're here."
Inalalayan akong pumasok ni Erida sa pakay naming dress shop. Siya ang nagsuggest na dito kami magpunta noong tinanong ko sa kaniya kung saan ang pinakamahal na dress shop sa Amaris City.
"Call the manager, Erida."
"Yes, Madam. Please wait here."
Naupo ako sa resting area. Inilibot ko ang aking paningin at nang masiguro ko na wala akong makitang kahit na sino ay saglit kong binaba ang blindfold na suot ko.
Pinagmasdan ko ang mga nakadisplay na dress malapit sa akin. All the dress in here are beautuful and elegant. Some are a bit extravagant but gorgeous.
Muli kong tinaas ang blindfold na suot ko ng marinig ko ang tunog ng footsteps ni Erida, kasabay pa ang isang hindi pamilyar na footsteps.
"Greetings, Madam. I am the manager of this shop. My name is Josef. Your maid already informed me about your situation. Don't worry, I will describe all the dress here in my shop. So please, shop as you like."
Napangiti ako sa magalang na bungad sa akin ni Manager Josef.
"I'd like to buy a blindfold. The thinnest the better. Do you have it here?" Tanong ko.
"Yes, Madam. What color would you like?"
"White, black, blue and red. Ten of each."
"Got it, Madam. Would you like some tea or coffee while waiting? I'll need sometime to ready your orders," magalang na tanong sa akin ni Manager Josef.
"Juice will do. Thank you."
Nang makaalis si Manager Josef ay naupo lang ako sa may resting area. Tahimik lang sa tabi ko si Erida.
