The Lost Lady [ON HOLD]

Chapter Nine: Settling Down

With the bright morning sun dazzling over the land of the kingdom of Alyxzandryte, the Capital was the busiest and the most bustling place where one could ever be even it was still early in the morning.

People could be seen roaming around the entire city. Some were walking, some were riding on their horses, and some carriages were rolling along the roads, all heading towards the Capital City's Blinxe Market.

Rows of different shops and stalls were neatly lined up on the streets and along the Blinxe Market. Different people were chattering and laughing as they tend to their businesses and as some went on their tasks. The surrounding was filled with warmth and vigor.

Among those busy people going around, a certain lady dressed in a bright and blinding orange floaty dress could be seen going from one store to another with a pair of maidservant dressed in gray clothes following behind her.

The two maidservants could be seen having boxes and sacks on their hands while the lady in blinding orange dress was happily humming as she looked around in yet another store. This time, they were inside a huge textile shop.

The lady in bright and blinding orange floaty dress was none other than Lena.

"My lady, is there anything I can help you with?" asked a shop attendant.

Lena looked up towards the middle-aged woman shop attendant and gently said, "Oh, I'm just looking around."

The shop attendant's lips twitched. It has been approximately an hour since the lady walked in and have been looking around. Other shop attendants had already asked her a few times since then, but despite all that, Lena was still busy just looking around.

The middle-aged shop attendant was the head of all the other attendants. They had no choice but to call the head in order to deal with the scourge. But the head seemed to also be having a hard time dealing with Lena. They couldn't just scold or shoo away the lady in a bright orange dress carelessly.

From the shop attendants' perspective, judging the appearance, the bearing and the demeanor of the lady, it was obvious that she was not from a simple family, given the fact that they were in the Capital, the lady could be from a noble family and it would be difficult for them to offend one with their ignorance. Thus, they could only grit their teeth as the lady in orange dress kept on pacing around, up and down at their shop while scrutinizing and examining almost all the racks of the textiles in a disturbing manner.

Even the two maidservants could do nothing about it and just kept scowling in their hearts as they stood still near the entrance of the shop as they wait for the lady.

After about another thirty minutes, the lady finally turned around and signal for an attendant. As she did, most of the attendants heaved a sigh of relief.

Lena, with her sharp and dazzling eyes, swept another glance around the store, took a deep breath and spoke, "I want this, that, that, and those, ah, also this one, this one, that one, two yards of those and that...," she kept on leading the attendant up and down and around the store. Another pair of attendants had to follow behind her to accommodate all her needs.

After gathering all the textiles that she needed, she went for the counter to pay for all the goods as she casually showed the black transaction card for the payment.

When the shopkeeper saw the bodacious color of the card, the shopkeeper had to gulp hard as his eyes went wide. The head attendant who was standing beside him was also shocked silly.

Good grief, it's all good we were not in a rush to shoo her away...

Really, good grief...
