Chapter 195
Amanda takes my measure quickly before running off to find new clothes for me. Neither of my sets of Robes are suitable for a shopping trip, and I don’t want to give away that I’ve got storage devices still with me. Sure, they’re being nice now, but they already locked me up once.
She comes back with what is clearly a little girl’s dress. Purple with white lace, frilly and puffy. "It’s the best I could do without having something tailored. Nephilim girls are your size at about age 4." She shrugs and I notice as she hands it to me that the gown is backless to accommodate their wings.
"If we don’t want everyone to know I’m a Priestess, we will need a coat or something too." I say, headed to the bathroom to change. Her eye is good, it hangs just past my knees and fits perfectly, except that it leaves my tail trapped under my skirts. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to fix that, so I’ll have to be careful with the tail wagging.
She giggles when I come out and twirl, using the slippers from my Royal Robes to fill in for whatever footwear they might have been able to find me.
"You’re right, that mark is intense. I totally forgot that you didn’t have wings until I saw your whole back on display." Amanda says with a hint of awe.
The King pulls a cloth out of his storage ring, purple silk with white lace trim. I think it’s supposed to be a handkerchief for someone his size, but it makes a cloak on me. A simple gold brooch holds the ends together and my wardrobe problem is solved.
Meanwhile, Ahra has showered and returned in a black dress that hangs to her feet with a single white diagonal stripe across the front. It seems to be a uniform of sorts, but I’m not sure for what position. Amanda nods her approval though, so it must be suitable for a trip to the market.
"Where all are we headed today? This will be my first visit to a city in a Divine Realm, so I have no idea what to expect." I tell the Princess.
"Well, we need to go see some tailors, and then there’s some snack shops we should see, papa doesn’t let me go when he’s with us. Then we can visit an Alchemist if you need any pills."
