With Hazel as their guide, the group made their way out of the castle and onto the streets of the city. It was a lot more crowded and bustling than any other place they had been to before.
While the streets were wider, there were still more people on them, hence it was common for people to bump into one another. Something about this felt familiar to Vy, but she paid it no mind. Her focus was on getting a suitable dress.
It did not take long before they arrived at the first shop, but before they could even enter, the staff member stationed at the door turned them away.
"My sincerest apologies, but our shop is swarmed with customers at the moment," the staff member said as she bowed.
True to her words, the shop was packed with people taking measurements and selecting dresses. Hazel did not panic, she remained calm and simply directed them to the next shop. But Lady Luck was not on their side for all the shops they had visited turned them away.
