Chapter 126: A seductive scent
The door was pushed open, and the ginger-haired princess walked into a room that looked like a sitting room with couches and a small coffee table, and the fireplace was on. The room was brightly decorated, different from the dark tone this castle had, and that had to do with the fact that this was part of Abrielle’s chambers.
In the room, there was a well-dressed gentleman with two other younger assistants around teenagers waiting for the princess. As soon as they spotted Abrielle they got on their feet to greet her with a bow.
This startled Abrielle a bit but she guessed she would have to get used to it based on her status. "Sorry for keeping you waiting." Abrielle politely mentioned before taking a seat. She didn’t want to think much about why Lucian and Callista were here. Maybe it had to do with the fact Cedric had refused to go to the palace.
"No, it’s nothing; the wait wasn’t long; it was rather enjoyable to wait in such a lovely room." The gentleman, whose name was Roderick, was the owner of an expensive perfume shop in the capital. Abrielle was a bit stunned when she learnt Roderick had to close his shop to come attend to her. That was the peak of luxury.
"I am glad you enjoyed your stay," Abrielle answered. She was used to Roderick’s flattering; it was normal for nobles to butter up the royal family to be in their good light. Although Cedric was not the crown prince, he had a good reputation in the military and was a general of his own making, so this made Abrielle’s status pretty good.
"Yes, I must say you have great taste. The decorations are perfect." Roderick continued his flattering, causing Abrielle to chuckle. She had nothing to do with the decorations although it was based on Abrielle’s taste.
The room was warm, and her eyes drew to the table that already had a couple of perfume samples arranged in it. "Thank you, but I don’t think I deserve the flattery. Most of the decorations were done before I came here. Please I will prefer it if we get right into business." .
Roderick straightened up and beckoned his assistant to open the samples. "Do you have anything in mind, Like a scent you particularly like?" He inquired.
Abrielle thought a bit; it would be better if she just stuck to the original owner’s favourite scent. Hazel, on the other hand, was not a big fan of expensive perfumes and used mostly sweet-based body sprays back on earth, which she wasn’t sure was available here.
"Do you have anything delicate and lavender-based?" Abrielle suggested and they got into work bringing out several bottles of perfumes. "This is one of our best Lavender scents," Roderick said, handing over the sample. The perfume did have an expensive scent but Abrielle didn’t like it.
