320 Visited to make an order and beca VIP custors
“But enough of the five wedding dresses. I don’t know if the Lionheart family will agree.” Vincent tried to change the subject. ” I ca here to order so pillows and a custom-sized heavy-duty bed. I guess one for eight people should do. ” Vincent continued.
However, it didn’t take long for Vincent’s cheeks to blush lightly. Similarly, Lilith blushed when she heard Vincent preparing a large stage.
[A lot of pillows for a pillow fight and a custom-made coffin to be buried beneath a pile of won. No wonder you don’t want this shop to close.]
[And here I thought Vincent beca a badass. But it turns out.]
-Ahem!-
“We can talk about the price later, but can I ask how Xu Xao Long is doing.” Fabio turned his head toward Lilith and continued, “I hope, young lady... I an, lady Lilith could inform this servant about my previous employee.”
“You know Maid Xu and Lilith?” Vincent curiously asked.
“Yes. I was montary surprised when I heard you would marry the Lionheart family. I could decern it was Lilith because of her glasses, blue eyes, golden hair, and hat. Furthermore, the stitching on the hat looked like Xu Xao Long’s when I took a glance. I see she hasn’t lost her touch after being a maid for so long.” Fabio answered.
Lilith raised her head and turned her gaze on Fabio. “... Fab... is... is it you?” Lilith asked.
.....
“Yes, it is I, the one and only Fabio. ” Fabio responded while bowing elegantly.” I feel sad lady Lilith didn’t recognize imdiately. Hehe.” He joked.
“Jokes aside, I am actually delighted to hear lady Lilith rember . I know we didn’t et many tis, maybe five tis at most, before Xu Xao Long stopped working here to beco lady Lilith’s maid. Many years passed, but I can not forget her skill in stitching, nding, and attaching ornants.” Fabio revealed a part of Maid Xu’s past.
It appeared Maid Xu worked for Fabio and had the Lionheart family as clients before Leonis saved her life and later decided to work as a maid. Maid Xu always gave the vibe of a tailor. This information confird her previous occupation.
Lilith stood up. She removed her veil and the hat. Then placed them on the chair. “Fab. I am sorry for not recognizing you imdiately. I didn’t know this was your shop since you always visited us and it has been so long I... ” A tear trickled down her cheeks as she rembered the man whose shop made her favorite clothes when she was young.
“Your face!” Fabio exclaid.
“...” Lilith averted her gaze.
“You...” *cough* “Lady Lilith looks as young as when I last saw you. Furthermore, the brilliant sapphire eyes, the pair of cheeks that blush when praised, and a smile which soothes one’s soul are impossible to make forget.” Fabio said.
Fabio seed excited and continued saying, “It feels unfair how young lady Lilith remained, but... everyone says my lady is sick.”
Fabio stopped talking when he understood he let his mouth run loose. “I apologize for the inappropriate comnt. Please forgive my transgression.” He apologized while respectfully bowing.
“It’s fine Fab... thank you for your praise. ” Lilith spoke warmly, and she didn’t appear as flustered and nervous as before.
“Lady Lilith is magnanimous like an angel. Now I understand why lord Leonis and Teresa Lionheart called you an angel all this ti.” Fabio praised. However, as he raised his gaze from the apologetic bow, Lilith looked different in his eyes.
“I can feel it! My muse! For so many years, the inspiration I missed has been here and in front of ! I will make five wedding dresses at no cost! ” Fabio announced in an outburst of joy and inspiration.
“...” Lilith stared at Fabio with a blank gaze. She didn’t know what was happening anymore. Her? A muse? Lilith was in utter disbelief.
“Are you sure about that, Fabio? I feel bothered to ask so much for free.” Vincent was happy about the offer and hearing soone genuinely complint Lilith, yet Vincent didn’t want to take advantage of Fabio.
Fabio proudly patted his chest and responded, “I will be happy for the new Lionheart family branch to use my shop for any textile needs. I will also offer ho visits as you are now my VIP custors.”
“Oh! Where are my manners! Would the soon the be Lionheart couple like to drink a beverage? I have warm tea, cool juice, or water.” Fabio added after rembering he offered nothing.
“I am fine. What about you, Lilith?” Vincent asked.
“There is no need Fab.” Lilith lifted the veil and wore it. Then she lifted the hat and placed it on her head. “I think it is about ti we leave. ” She said.
“About the order. ” Vincent asked.
“Thirty silver coins for a dozen pillows, a massive custom mattress with a bed fra, and bedsheets for sumr and winter. ” Fabio stated.
“But Fab... the order Vincent placed might amount to one gold coin or more.” Lilith beca worried Fabio was going to lose a lot of money. Five free wedding dresses was already too much, she believed.
[Fabio is a sly man, hehe. He wants us to be more than custors. I can see it from a mile away how he wants to use the Lionheart na to deter problems.]
-I had a feeling he was being too generous, but now I understand. Fabio is buying us out. But it is not a bad thing in our situation.-
[Yeah. The more people on our side, the better.]
“Fabio. I can’t help much in terms of funds or businesses offers, but you can use the Lionheart family na as backers of this store. Additionally, we would like to invite you to our wedding. Maybe it can bring you luck.” Vincent showed how he understood Fabio’s intentions and agreed to let the shop speak of the Lionheart’s na when the ti required.
“Fabio Fabulous! Hahaha.” Fabio laughed cheerfully at the exchange Vincent was willing to make.
Lilith approached Vincent and asked, “But the family isn’t politically powerful to help Fab.”
“This is like an investnt. Only ti will tell if we can help Fabio, and he can offer a great service.” Vincent replied.
“...” Lilith nodded and stayed quiet. She understood both Vincent and Fabio’s intentions better now.
“The wedding is for the twenty-fourth of August. So it is going to be soon. You can visit today if you’d like to start soon.” Vincent inford. He turned the leave and continued, “See you later.”
“See you next ti Fab. Bye.” Lilith said before she left.
Fabio waved with a smile on his face. His heart fluttered from excitent while the ideas of the five brides waiting to be clothed by his shop rushed to his mind.
‘This might be the best order of my life. A bridal event with a sumr bridal collection from my shop to be presented in a real wedding. And a noble one at that. My fabulous store has a chance to grow. I need to promote my bridal clothes as much as possible. One man, five won, all fabulously dressed by the Fabioso Fabric Company. This slogan is fabulous. ‘ Fabio excitedly thought eting Vincent was a blessing. His shop could enter the top ten list of shops to visit.
Lilith saw Vincent waiting for her outside the shop with his hand extended.
“I felt bad for forgetting about Fab. We didn’t et much, and it was more of a greeting than a chat. It was Maid Xu who took my sizes and delivered the clothes. Fab was nothing more than an ordinary textile shop owner in my eyes.” Lilith accepted Vincent’s hand and added, “I am glad you helped him.”
“Ahh! Yeah...” Vincent averted his gaze and continued, “but I mostly helped because his employees can use Lupa’s fur to create a set of clothing for her.”
“Is that so? Hehe.” Lilith giggled after speaking in a teasing tone. “I am happy my man doesn’t care of the enemies he makes for his won.”
“I am not clean from all the walking, but if I was.” Lilith pulled Vincent’s hand to turn him facing her. She removed her veil and stole a kiss. “I would reward my knight in shining armor, hehe.”
[...]
[Now that’s new. It appears Lilith isn’t nervous if she is horny... I an acting romanticly. You want to try acting more romantic in public?]
-You are suggesting the impossible. I don’t want to attract more attention for the day.-
[Vincent, hehe. Are you sure about that? Did you forget about the cart?]
-... No comnt.-
Lilith wore her veil. She held his hand tightly after seeing one or two people looking at them. The sudden burst of courage only lasted for a mont, but a part of her true personality was revealed. Lilith might love to tease.
Later, Vincent and Lilith continued their date with dozens of breaks as so streets didn’t even have a single bench to sit on. The middle-class district was well kept, but there was nothing else to look at other than houses and a few lampposts.
Soon, they arrived at the large fountain. Lilith’s eyes sparkled the mont she saw people of all ages gathered in one large area. So were taking a break and sitting on a bench, so were window shopping the multiple stalls selling different products, and others were passing via the fountain as it is the heart of the south district.
Vincent saw an empty bench and led Lilith to take another rest. He summoned two cups of cold water and a pair of sandwiches.
