My carriage stopped in front of the department store on the main street.

“Arrived, my dear,” said Lord Hans, my escort, who opened the carriage door.

I got off the carriage with his guidance.

The department store building was magnificent and splendid to match the name of the first of it’s kind in the Empire.

As soon as I entered the entrance, all kinds of high-end items displayed under subtle lighting caught my eye. Women’s shoes, bags, hats, perfumes, cosmetics, etc.

Normally I would have meandered around, but today I had a set purpose.

I stopped walking in front of the men’s clothing store. said with a kind smile, as drawn by the manager.

“Welcome lady. Is there anything you’re looking for?”

“I’m going to look around slowly for now.”

“Okay. Then, call me when you need me.”

The manager stepped back with a slight bow. I looked at the clothes on the shelves.

Maybe it’s because I don’t have much experience choosing men’s clothing, it was a lot harder to choose clothes than I thought.

I glanced at Lord Hans, my escort knight. I thought he’d know better than I did, so I asked for advice.

“Sir, would you pick out some clothes that would suit Kian?”

Replied Lord Hans in a confident voice, “Leave it to me!”

After a while Lord Hans showed me the clothes he had chosen. “How about this?”

“That’s a little….”

“What about this?”

“That’s a little, too…”

I respect his taste, but all the clothes he picked were cumbersome.

“Are you sure you picked the right one?”

“Of course! I’m more serious than ever.”

That makes me even more suspicious of his eyes. I realize the time, I’ve spent a lot of time choosing clothes. There are so many things to buy today…

Lord Hans advised me, pacing back and forth on the shelves. “Don’t think too hard, my dear. Kian would look good in anything.”

“Yeah?”

“Because he’s handsome even in a straight man’s eyes. With that face, he’ll digest any outfit.”

It sounded right. I must have thought it complicated from the beginning. Having come to a actualization, I called the manager immediately.

He asked with a polite smile, “Have you decided?”

I answered with a nod. “Please wrap up everything here.”

I swept the shoe, bag, and accessory stores behind the men’s clothing store.

It was easy to spend money because my worries were gone. It’s already been two hours since I started shopping.

I shopped combatively and got almost everything I needed.

“I think I’ve bought it all, but…”

In case I missed something, I decided to stop by the top floor of the department store.

****

Located on the top floor of the department store was jewelry. Inside the transparent display cases, a diversity of jewels emitted brilliant lights.
