Chapter 194
"If we’re going into the city, you can’t go looking like that." Doosan tells me the next morning when I turn up in my Priestess Robes. I slept the night in the room attached to the lab, along with Ahra in her shiny new Gold livery, but I’ve been informed by the palace staff that I will be attending an event tonight that requires evening wear.
"Well, they took most of my clothes, and I’m not wearing rags. It’s this or the one other formal outfit I have left." I inform him, not mentioning I’ve actually got an entire wardrobe in my storage piercings they missed.
"Let’s see the other one and I’ll pick. Or I’ll go find you some clothes, we’ve got plenty of tailors around the castle."
I switch to my Royal Robes and he bursts into laughter. "Oh no, one hundred percent no. Not happening. Half the city would wet themselves if they knew they’d seen Dragon Priestess Royalty in the city. The last time most of them saw that outfit their home towns were burned to the ground with Dragon Fire during the war."
Just as he finishes saying that, Amanda and the King enter the room without knocking. Stopping at the sight of me in my formal outfit.
"Amy! Papa! It’s good to see you both again. I hope you weren’t injured during the attack yesterday?" I hop into Amanda’s arms again and she begins to giggle.
"See, I told you she wasn’t mad. She’s just weird." The princess informs her father.
"You need to learn caution, daughter. From that position she can kill you before either of us have time to respond." The King tells her with a solemn voice and she gives me a hurt look before setting me down.
"I mean, he’s not wrong, but I wasn’t planning on it. What brings you to the research ward today?"
