"Shopping?" Lila repeated, the word sounding strange coming from Lady Aiko in such a serious tone.
"Yes, shopping…"
"Now, go. He needs to be prepared. The meeting is important."
"He needs to look proper…"
"Also, tell him he's going to get a haircut. His hair is nearly overgrown."
Without waiting for a response, Aiko turned around and was on her way, her blue hair whipping around behind her.
"Get to it," she added over her shoulder, her voice leaving no room for delay. "Notify me when he's ready to leave."
Lila stood frozen for a moment, her mind catching up with the odd request, but before she could dwell on it,
"Get to it," Aiko added over her shoulder, her voice leaving no room for delay. "Notify me when he's ready to leave."
"Understood, ma'am." Lila bowed her head slightly.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a voice called out, "Come on, Lila!" It was Beatrice.
