Volume 7 Chapter 13: Treat It As A Present
While Keith and the rest were on a dungeon raid, Carolyn sighed deeply as she waited at the city square. Hah, I can't believe I'm wearing this. Right now, she was wearing a blue dress. Maria is worrying about this for nothing. From the tense expression, anyone could tell she went through a difficult trial.
You need to look presentable! Maria and the other girls didn't hesitate to dress the girl up. Hearing how she was going out with Alger, they were all excited! It was quite a long thing. Thank goodness I chose this dress. Maria tried to make her wear something else. However, Carolyn had chosen this one. It was the one she liked the most and where Maria and the others said okay too.
There's really no need for me to dress like this. Maria and the others were acting too anxious. This wasn't a date; casual wear should be good. Then again, Alger was a prince as well.
"Ah, you arrived early." Carolyn turned her head to see Alger. He was dressed in a casual outfit. It was prim and elegant. It didn't befit a prince, but it still made him handsome.
"Sorry about that." Alger scratched his head.
"Thank you. You look great, too."
"..." Alger and Carolyn shook their heads; only an awkward silence continued between them.
"Umm, where do you want to go? We still have time before the show starts." Carolyn looked down at the time; there was no need to head to the show. They still had a lot of time.
"How about we go to a clothing store."
"Hmm?"
"I was thinking about getting some new clothes. I was wondering if I could get your take on it." Alger grinned.
"Sure. But I will have you know; my taste is unique."
"I think I will be fine. I trust your taste." Like that, the two headed to a clothing store. It was posh and luxurious.
"Welcome to our store." A clerk greeted.
"We'll look around first.
"Understood. The men's section is this way. Please call if you need any help." The clerk let them off. The two started to look around. Carolyn grasped one of the clothes, checking the price.
Her eyes widened when she saw the price. Just one piece of cloth was 7 gold coins! That was absurd! Even if she was a princess, this was ludicrous!
"Are you sure you want to buy here?" Carolyn questioned.
"Mmhmm. This is where I always buy my clothes." Alger smiled.
"..." You're rich. As expected as a prince.
"What do you have in store for me?"
"Give me a second." Carolyn looked around before she decided on a cloth, "Here, this should be nice."
"Then I will go try it on." Alger went to the changing room. As Carolyn waited outside. I hope it looks nice. This was the first time she had chosen someone's clothes.
Keith had never asked me to do something like that. With how he looked, she really wanted to try. But the man said it was fine. The number of clothes Sophia and Camelia bought for him, he didn't need to worry about it for years.
"How do I look?" As she mulled over this, Alger came out of the store. Carolyn's eyes brightened; my taste was excellent. The prince came out of the dresser wearing a black shirt and white pants. He looked so noble and pristine.
"You look handsome, Senior."
"That's because you chose my clothes," Alger commented.
"Now that you chose my clothes, how about I choose yours?"
"Eh?" Carolyn quickly waved her hands, "There's really no need for you to do something like that." Buying one cloth was way too much.
"It's fine." Alger looked around and then chose something. It was a black and red dress.
"Please." Alger handed the dress over. Carolyn sighed, "Alright."
This? Carolyn hesitated before looking up at Alger. She took a deep sigh, "Alright." She entered the dresser and came out the next second.
"..." Alger's eyes widened as he stared at Carolyn.
"What do you think?"
"You're really beautiful. You look just like the saint,"
"...Thank you."
"I'll take it." Alger quickly paid for everything without a thought. Carolyn was about to reject, but Alger explained, "It's fine. Think of it as a present for all your hard work."
"..." There was a moment of silence for all of them.
"Let's go watch the show now."
