Sarang sent her servant to the information guild to find about Julias but she could find nothing wrong about his profile. He was like the perfect son Count Haebar could possess.
' There is something wrong. He does not have a single bad quality? He does not go to pubs nor to the Harleys, goes to the cathedral and feed the homeless?! ' , Sarang let out a sigh
" This can not go on like this. Liliac, tell the servants to ready the carriage. I need to go to lady Hazel's boutique. "
Lady Hazel was a lady in her early 80's . She is the top designer of Atlantia and only sold dresses to nobles.
Most shops in the early 1300s were speciality stores. These were independently owned and often operated on the same premises on which the goods were made. Depending on where you lived and what you were looking for, a shopping trip might involve stopping at any of the following: bakery; bookstore; butcher; cabinet-maker and upholsterer (furniture); confectioner etc. Hazel's boutique is the first clothing store ever made and it also became a large hit.
Countess Rosela Fleur de Augustus's ball is an annual lavish ball where you could find most of the novelty. It is the perfect opportunity for Sarang to get to know about Julias. Sarang usually remained either in her mansion or the tower, so she barely had any dresses to wear in such a lavish ball.
It was a short thirty minute journey to reach her boutique. When she entered the boutique, with the ambience of the room, she understood, with such an eligance it is really store for novelty.
The interior of the boutique was designed in the Rococo art style. There was also a huge chandelier hanging from the false ceiling.
When she entered there, there were already some ladies sipping on a cup of coffee and were choosing dresses from the catalogue. She slowly sat by their side on the couch and asked to a lady working there, "Can you tell me about the latest trend ? I am going to Countess Rosela's ball so I want a nice gown for myself. "
She handed over a catalogue to her and started telling, " Dress that revealed the natural body, with a high waist and lightweight draping muslins. - " , just then she was interrupted by Hazel who just came from her chambers.
"I just made a new design . Once the wearer pulled on the sleeves and fastened the inner bodice lining, the skirt flap was pulled up where it was fastened with ties around the "waist" and the bodice front was pinned into place .", lady Hazel told this and handed her the design to see.
" Did you name it?. "
" Round gown. " , she smirked.
It was a beautiful off shoulder white gown with a hint of blue. At first glance, she decided to buy it.
When Sarang was writing the check, she heard the ladies beside her gossiping.
" Have you heard about it? The new duke titled by the Emperor, who has crimson eyes? "
" Oh my! I just heard it a week ago. I heard he is a blood thirsty man and single handedly killed the entire barbarian army. Do you know he will join Rosela's ball?. "
" Of course. I do not want to provoke him by any ways. He once cut a barber's hand for cutting his hair wrong. He did not even spare his closest comrades. "
' Uhh. Guess another problem has arose. '
