Chapter 197: Lady Fairfax Vs Emmah
In the afternoon, a ship that had sailed from Medoris landed on the shores of Eldoria. From the ship, five merchants carrying the latest products of their empire rode into the capital city. They reached the heart of the city just before the sun set.
Even though the carriages with their goods were slow to arrive, the merchants themselves were quick to arrive with their wives and children, dressed in modern silk dresses. The fashion was the same as the designs introduced by Emmah.
They traveled through the shopping streets, spending money lavishly and attracting the attention of so many people. When they arrived at Emmah’s shop, that was when the trouble started.
As soon as she set her eyes on them, the first question out of her mouth was where they had got their clothes and plagiarized her designs.
"Your designs!" One of women scoffed. "In Medoris, we dress like this all the time. What’s so new about silk qipao’s and gowns? Its obviously you that copied designs from our great empire and you are now passing them off as your own."
All the Medorian women looked down on Emmah, staring at her with contempt. The men laughed as if she was a clown.
The shop was filled to the brim with noble ladies, shopping for themselves and their children. In all of Eldoria, Emmah was the only one selling such clothes and the quality was quite excellent.
However, uniqueness was her biggest selling factor. On learning that the new fashions that they had been fighting over were not as unique as they thought, the vigor to purchase started to dampen.
"This is what happens when people have not seen the world, they spin lies and fool others." A Medorian woman said.
