All eyes turned toward the red carriage as it ca to a stop at the side of the bustling street.
The sheer elegance of the vehicle drew the atttion of passersby and rchants alike, halting their activities as they watched to see who might erge.
In this era, carriages were a symbol of wealth and power—rare and luxurious, reserved for the highest of nobles or the extrely afflut.
But ev among nobles, few could boast the grandeur of a carriage pulled by two fine horses, like the one now before them.
Ha Joon was the first to step out, his deanor calm and composed despite the curious stares from the crowd.
He barely acknowledged the onlookers, his focus instead on the task at hand.
Without a word, he reached back into the carriage and gtly took Artoria's hand, helping her down with the sa careful atttion he'd give to a que.
She had left Excalibur behind, knowing full well that the legdary blade would imdiately reveal her idtity.
Today, they sought to bld in—at least as much as a pair like them could.
Artoria descded gracefully, her every movemt exuding a quiet strgth, though her armor was hidd beath a more modest outfit.
Still, there was an undiable air of authority about her that caught the crowd's atttion ev more.
At the other oping in the carriage, rlin had stepped out, her black hair imdiately falling behind her as she looked at the other side.
"Everyone look, it's Lady rlin!".
"Lady rlin!".
The onlookers shouted excitedly as they all began cheering and waving at her. They knew better than to try and get too close to soone of royal status.
In response to their praises, rlin waved back at them with a smile, waiting for Artoria and Ha Joon to ter the store before she did.
Once Ha Joon got inside the store, he let go of Artoria's hand and stood to the side for a while.
'Hmm, rlin is quite popular, she wasn't kidding wh she said she's known throughout Calot.' He looked at her as she walked in, his eyes narrowing down to her ass, firmly shaped under her tight dress.
[You have arrived at the second store on the main district, would you like to add this to the other saved locations?]
'Yeah, do that.' replied Ha Joon before he began to follow behind Artoria and rlin.
rlin, with one hand on the counter, uttered to the beast man standing at the other side of the counter -
"Galio, be a while, how is business?".
Galio, the beast smiled back at her, "Lady rlin, it's nice to see you, how wonderful, it's be forever since I saw your face." He said as he began to walk out of the counter to et with her.
Ha Joon was dumbfounded.
'Is that, a human pig?' He whispered in his mind, watching as Galio got closer.
[Beast people are regular rchants in Calot, although humans take the most population, so parts of Calot are harbored by the beast people.]
'I spt so much ti in the castle I almost forgot this was a fantasy world.'
"How may I help the greatest mage in Calot, do you need new clothing for this fine man?" Glalio voiced out, standing in front of them.
"Oh no, the pri minister is here to take care of us ladies on the contrary." rlin stepped back a bit with a hint of a smile on her face.
"The pri minister?" Galio paused for a while and took a good second to scan Ha Joon's face.
That was wh he recalled, there was news about the newly appointed pri minister, but not everyone knew about this, it hadn't spread that far yet.
"Oh my, forgive my ignorance, it's an honor to have the pri minister of Calot visit my store." Galio bowed his head.
"Oh child, don't worry about it. It's only natural, mistakes happ." Ha Joon uttered, a warm look on his face as he placed his hand on Galio's shoulder.
Galio looked up at Ha Joon, his eyes sparkling to see such a handso man standing close to him.
"You can call Ha Joon," said Ha Joon with an angelic voice and aura.
"Lord Ha Joon." Galio called out, his eyes sparkling like he was in so kind of trance.
The sound of people adding lord to his na was finally starting to sound nice.
'Ahh, this must be what those nobles feel like everyday, it's so freaking amazing!'.
"Tsk!" rlin clicked her tongue.
"Uhmm, Lord Ha Joon, what can I do for you? Do you need clothes? Shoes, a custom made royal cape?".
"Oh, yeah, I need you to help get this fine lad- you can make a custom royal cape?!" Ha Joon tighted his grip on the man's shoulder in excitemt.
Galio was a bit surprised, but seeing that soone as important as the pri minister was showing interest in his work- began to overwhelm him. Despite the fact he was just eting him for the first ti.
"Yes Lord Ha Joon, I can, in a matter of days after getting the required materials." Replied Galio.
"Uhhhhhh sweet, so what? Do I give you a sketch? Need my asuremts, prices for material, maybe ev a bit of-"
Cough-!
rlin cleared her throat.
This caused Ha Joon to pause wh he realized he was already getting too carried away.
He slowly stepped back, his gaze now serious, "We shall discuss the cape later, for now, we need sothing for this fine young lady".
"Ohh…" Galio looked at Artoria, scanning her body with his eyes, "She appears to be shy, so, what kind of clothes are you looking for."
"Hmm, sothing a bit like…" Ha Joon began looking a the store.
anwhile, at the side, Artoria gtly pinched rlin on the arm.
"Is sothing wrong?" rlin asked as she moved her ear towards Artoria's mouth.
"Yes, why are we going shopping for ? I assud we were just here to check out the clothes for his sake." She whispered to rlin.
rlin smiled, "Well it seems like he wants to give you a prest, why not take it and indulge him".
"I've never worn dresses like these be-"
"Oh yeah, look, what about this? I think it would look good on you!" Ha Joon voiced out with excitemt, holding out a blue dress as he moved towards Artoria.
