The Thief (Sahyo)

Chapter 10: The Dinner

Sana ran around her rather large bedroom trying to find a suitable outfit for Jihyo to wear. This was to be her first meal in a royal setting rather than their usual meal together in her chambers. Sana had less than two hours to clothe the alpha and teach her proper table manners.

The woman in question flopped rather ungracefully atop the princess' bed and placed one arm behind her head while the other lay lazily on her stomach. Jihyo looked on in amusement as the omega mumbled to herself quietly as she threw various items of clothing over her shoulder and onto the floor.

"What are you doing?" Jihyo finally asked causing the princess to stand abruptly as she held out a pair of long trousers.

"I'm trying to find you something decent to wear." Sana scoffed.

Jihyo looked down at herself and scrunched her eyebrows up in confusion. She thought she looked nice, Miyeon definitely thought she looked nice, so why didn't the princess?

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" The alpha asked dumbly.

Sana let out a loud laugh before stopping herself at the sight of the confused alpha. "Oh, you're seriously asking me that?" After getting a nod from Jihyo , she continued. "Well, those are daywear. I'm finding you evening wear."

"Evening wear? I actually have to change my clothes halfway through the day just for a meal?"

The princess nodded and held out a few different articles of clothing. "Yes. In fact, if you lived here permanently then you'd have to change your clothes at least three times a day." The alpha sat up just as Sana neatly laid out the outfit. "You'd wake up in your bed wear, change into your daywear, then change again into your evening wear and then change one last time back into your bed wear."

"Wow." Jihyo looked over at the expensive looking fabric and fingered the exquisite stitching. "Back before we created the village, I was lucky if I got to change my clothes once a month."

"Seriously?"

The alpha nodded. "Yes, and that was only because I outgrew the clothes I had previously. I spent all the money I was able to steal on food and clothing for my sisters. I didn't have much left over for myself so I saved up a few silver pieces here and there and promised myself to only spend it when I was desperate."

"You really are a wonderfully selfless alpha." Sana smiled lovingly towards the thief, who in turn blushed a light shade of scarlet. "Here, try those on. They may not properly fit as they're only sample sizes the royal tailors sent over when they were informed of you. I told them that you're roughly the same height and size as I am, so hopefully they fit nicely."

Jihyo nodded and held up the trousers Sana had laid out for her. They seemed a lot tighter than the ones she was currently wearing. She gathered the clothes in her arms and looked around for a safe spot to change, one where there won't be any prying eyes and no discreetly tucked away handmaidens.

The princess watched in amusement as the alpha span around trying to find somewhere to change. She slowly made her way over to where Jihyo was standing and took the clothes from her.

"I'll help you change." She smiled warmly.

The alpha's eyes turned as wide as saucers and Sana had to stifle a giggle at the younger woman's expression.

"It'll be quicker if I help." Sana placed the clothes neatly back on the bed. "Plus, Miyeon is due back here to help me change any minute now. Do you really want her to see you half naked and struggling to put on this ridiculously puffy shirt?"

Jihyo relented and suspiciously eyed the overjoyed expression that graced the omega's face. Sana clapped her hands together excitedly and ordered the alpha to take off her daywear. Jihyo hesitated. Memories of her past flooded her mind but before she could sink any further into her past, Sana caught her.
