As soon as the lady saw the general's household seal her smile became extra saccharine and she said,
"Welcome, welcome. It is our honor to serve the general. Now what kind of outfits you are looking for and what occasion."
"We are looking for something that can be worn under armor on the battlefield," Niya said.
The lady looked at Ralph and said,
"Then you are mistaken gentleman. We only sell clothes for women. There is a shop across from ours. They specialize in making clothes for men, in fact, it would be not an exaggeration to say they are the best in the empire. Even Prince Leh shops from there." She said still with that sickening sweet smile on her face.
"You have gotten it wrong madam. We want battlefield clothes for a woman." Ralph said.
"You must be joking gentleman. Why would a woman need war robes."
