Annette was already sitting in the horse carriage with Egbert. They went to the Merland market center to buy some of Annette and Aldrich's needs. Along the way, Annette threw her gaze out the window. Pay attention to the scenery that is still so beautiful, far from smoke and pollution. Egbert said, in his country still does not have a sophisticated vehicle like in the land of humans. They still use horses and horse carriages that were like ancient kingdoms as transportation.
The horse carriage stopped and Egbert got off first. Annette got up from her seat, wearing Egbert's oversized robe on her thin body. It made her feel heavy every time she moved.
"Jump towards me"
Egbert stood below, spread out his hands to greet Annette.
Nervous, Annette hesitantly jumped up and immediately fell in the ambush of Egbert who took his small waist and lowered it slowly to the ground.
Tidying up her standing position, Annette was surprised by the people passing by around the market. They seemed to stop the activity and glanced towards it. They were whispering and gossiping a little. Some of them looked at Annette full of question marks, some showed dislike, others looked envious and only a few smiled innocently.
Annette drew closer to Egbert, docked into his sturdy body, "They really don't know that I'm a human?" His whisper. Annette lifted her head, looking at Egbert who was much taller than her.
Egbert bowed and his mouth whispered in Annette's ear, "As long as you don't bleed, they won't know you're human"
The vampires, born after the exile system, no longer have such a keen sense of smell that they can detect humans without smelling their blood. It was because consuming animal blood had changed a lot of the powers of the vampires.
"Come on!" Egbert wrapped her arms around Annette's slender waist and took her inside a boutique.
Behind them were followed by four bodyguards who were ready to guard the whereabouts of the two important people.
Madam Agnes was shocked to see Egbert's arrival. The classy boutique, it has always been a visit of the nobles and the rich. But it was the first time he had the arrival of the crown prince of Merland.
"Your highness crown prince, welcome to Agnes' boutique"
Madam Agnes named her boutique after herself. Lifting up her dress slightly, Madam Agnes bowed and saluted her respects to welcome Egbert's arrival.
Annette froze when she heard the words of the woman in her forties.
What say?
Your highness the crown prince?
Egbert nodded slowly, his gaze as usual. It was flat and expressionless.
"Can I help your Majesty?" Madam Agnes raised her head and asked politely.
"Help my wife get some dresses"
"A-what's i-wife?" Madam Agnes stammered as she turned towards Annette. From the rumors that circulated, the crown prince was still unable to release his former lover until he rejected all proposals from the noble daughter who came to him.
But how could there be a wife next to him?
When did the crown prince get his wedding?
Annette was helpless, just pulling both corners of her lips a small smile to the woman.
Madam Agnes immediately recovered her senses and went to Annette, "Ah, b-well. Then please come with me to see some dresses that you might like" she said politely.
Annette nodded lightly and Egbert released her hand from wrapped around her small waist. Annette followed Madam Agnes to see the dresses in her boutique.
They are a group of dresses that are as graceful and distinctive as in the era of ancient European empires. Annette touched one of them and felt a very fine fabric fiber.
"Did anyone interest you?" Ask Egbert. He stood behind with both hands folded in front of his chest.
Annette glanced at Egbert, "All the dresses here are so pretty"
Then Annette went back to the other dress, "I didn't know which one to choose"
"You can have it all"
Annette smiled silly. It was true that Egbert would buy all these dresses for her.
Egbert ignored Annette's gaze that felt ridiculous about what she said earlier. Looking at the madam Agnes said without hesitation, "Please prepare all the dresses in your boutique and send them to my residence with a list of costs"
Madam Agnes's eyeballs trembled happily, "Good noble one. I'll get it ready soon"
Annette ran up to Egbert and pinched his waist which had no fat at all, "Egbert, what are you doing? You really want to buy all the dresses at this boutique?"
Oh that's right! They are very much. Annette won't even be able to wear it.
"Yes" nodded at Egbert without a burden.
"Can't" Annette bluntly opposed, "You don't know what you're doing this is so extravagant"
Egbert just came up with a small smile on his lips and softly nosed Annette, "I bought my wife's needs, how could it be wasteful?"
"Yes, but not like this either. That's too much"
"Didn't you hear that?"
"Hear a-what?" Annette blinked her eyes confused.
"What did this boutique madam just call me?" Whisper in Annette's ear.
At that time Annette stared and looked at the handsome face of Egbert who was almost no defect in the slightest.
"You are the son of the crown of this country. W-why didn't you tell me?"
It was only fitting that the old woman and the rest of the people in the residence called 'Her Majesty' to Egbert.
Egbert smiled. Attaching a few strands of Annette's hair behind her ear and whispering again, "As the wife of a crown prince, shopping this much has still not been said to be wasteful"
"This much, still not extravagant you say?" Annette was not yet exhausted with her shock, only to be pulled Egbert out and go to another shop.
They went to one store to another.
They buy a lot of stuff.
Sleep pajamas are of various types, some of which are very sexy and transparent. Annette's face burned to see him, feeling so embarrassed by the store staff. Egbert had deliberately chosen all of that.
Furthermore, there are also bathrobes that are not only one, but more than ten kinds. Also jewelry of plaid pure gold, a set of cosmetic tools which of course has the ancient essence— lip-splitting lipstick and powder. Lastly, Aldrich clothes are not less than his own dress.
"Is there anything you need?"
"No-no, no more" Annette quickly shook her head.
They had already shopped so much, I don't know how much money Egbert had spent by buying all those things. Annette just felt breathless seeing it.
"Then you still want to go around to look around?"
Sight-seeing what? Every time Annette said her interest, Egbert would definitely buy everything.
"No" Annette shook her head, "My knee is already very sore. Let's just go home"
Annette is still able to move. But he was too afraid that if they lingered there, it was not impossible that Egbert would buy the entire market. It was clearly very possible to see how her shopping was like buying a pack of candy.
As if in his eyes, everything was nothing.
