Chapter 188: Running into Scarlet.
Inez choked, as she couldn’t understand where this question even came from. She turned and looked at the woman beside her and questioned, "How come you even got that idea?"
"Did you not say that I should show my strength? What’s better than burning down this mall?" Jules spoke as if it made all the sense.
Realising that the woman had taken it literally, Inez shook her head and corrected her, "What I meant to say was that you should think of doing something grand, something that would make others respect you. Like fighting in a pack battle and winning or saving someone’s life. There is more than one way to show your strength rather than a literal massacre."
Jules frowned as if she could not understand what Inez was trying to say. She pursed her lips and then said to her, "Well, I guess you are right. But my papa doesn’t seem to agree with it. He believes that as a princess, my only job is to find a powerful mate and give birth to another dragon shifter who would become the heir to the throne."
"And do you think he is right?" Inez asked.
"I—"
"Miss Drakos." The attendant of the shop, who obviously knew Jules, stepped forward and greeted her with a smile on her lips. "It’s a really pleasant surprise to see you. Are you here to buy a new dress?"
"Yes, I would like to see Tracy, if you please," said Jules while looking at the many dresses that were hanging on the racks. "I am used to her recommendations, and you know she gets me better than the rest."
Inez didn’t know if the attendant was offended by Jules’ refusal to let her accompany them. But even if it did, the attendant didn’t show it on her face; she nodded and conceded to the demand that Jules had put forth. "Alright, please wait for a while. I will ask Tracy to come out and attend to you."
