Fashion show

(Lex POV)

After Arlan finished his experiments of which 2 turned out successful, he got up and stretched.

"Lex follow me out you're items should be ready at the tailor's place"

I shut the book I was reading on ballroom dancing, it's history and various other things were also mentioned along with some hand drawn images of positioning and other little nuances. Not a very interesting read but it was a good pass time.

"Head in now, I'll be going to meet little Harper at the tower see you there. Also here's the money fr the clothes."

Shaking my head I raised my hand,

"I already paid for it using my money that came from the bounty so it's alright."

Arlan looked at me like there was something wrong with me and sighed,

"Books can teach you a lot about etiquette but not social structure huh?"

Curiously I look at him because of what he said, he elaborated,

"The slaves master has to pay for all the expenses that the slave requires and since I've hired you as an unpaid servant you shouldn't be the one to pay for expenses such as these. Fine just go in and ask how much the clothes for yourself costed let the money you spent for your servants stay with them."

A long monologue of how slaves are managed was suddenly told to me I understood the structure a little better now. I bowed a little right hand on my chest, by the book movements.

"Thank you for teaching me master, I'll see to your attendance soon."

Once again he sighed,

"Trust me... with her in there you will not be seeing me soon, I remember the last time I came to this country... yeesh."

He shivered with goosebumps in his reminisence and waved good bye towards me, from his hand to the rest of his body his body transformed into air and suddenly he wooshed away! I shake my head, I doubt I could be in there longer than I'd go shopping with my mom.

Pushing open the luxurious and giant sized doors I found a mess! Pieces of cloth and gems lying all around like little hills.

"Who's there?"

I hear a deep voice speak in a cheerful tone, from behind a particularly large pile of papers and clothes.

"Umm yes hello? I'm Lex Admine servant to Arlan Schmidt I was sent here to pick up our orders for clothes?"

A rumble, a menacing grunt from behind the mountain and a large muscular figure appeared head poking out with over exaggerated blue eye shadow on their eyes.

Their hair was tied into 2 curly pig tails and from menacing the atmosphere changed to cheerful.

"Aww~ Well aren't you a cutey I thought you'd be another one of those snide nobleman's appearance it seems your if commoner origins? A merchants kid maybe?"

'She has good observation skills haha.'

Not going to lie I was fairly intimidated by the large muscular figure. Likely being almost 3 meters or even taller in height. Other than her frame she appeared mostly human in fact her clothes had the cutsie style of an girl from the country side.

One of her glaring features though we're the two sharp teeth that poked menacingly from her mouth and her dark green skin. Ok maybe she didn't appear too human...

"Y-yes your exactly right miss...?"

"Oh goodness me how rude I am Clorka, no surname you can address me as miss Clorka it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Miss Clorka's voice rumbled in the room, she truly exuded a powerful aura.

"R-right *cough* is there anything that needs to be done or..."

Once her excited introduction calmed down, she sat me down in the limited room available and pointed to another mountain that I could change behind. I ended up changing into various butler clothes of black and white. Some even had a little bit of blue and yellow it seems that the gloves I'm constantly wearing have been reported...

It was all very stylish, to be honest I never expected to be able to look this good, if I had the stats unlocked I'd probably have an SS- charm or something. Too specific? Maybe, but what can I say in my new body I look hot as hell, I bet it'd be up to an SSS at night with the charm increase.

Miss Clorka was very excited she even started bringing in some of the prepared broches that they apparently had made for me. In colours of green and purple with some gems. A logo with 4 interconnected ancient runes, I don't know what they're supposed to mean and apparently miss Clorka isn't aware either.

Miss Clorka was so happy with the looks that she even started taking pictures with an all exclusive magic colour camera. She was planning to use my pictures for advertisements, she even asked to come model for her. I. genuinely considered it but I told her I'd contact her if the future allowed me to. She nodded satisfied with my response.

I truly underestimated her I was there for a whole 4 hours! Hours I tell you! Though it doesn't compare to when I once walked with my mom on Earth for nearly 8 hours in a mall, insane it was I tell you! Insane! This clothes modelling session was just as tiring though with having to constantly change and that too when she believed she had to change something or when I asked to remove some of the frilly designs. Though I don't believe people on Earth work this fast! Even with her abnormally large hands and no assistance I don't know what magic she pulled but every time she went behind her little mountain. A few machines clanked and there were some mystical sounding things going on.

When I asked she just said it's a trade secret and winked flirtatiously. I didn't shiver but there were a few goosebumps.

...

Now we were done, I asked Esel and Lily's clothes to be taken to them. There's were a lot simpler and not entirely clothes for servants. Well some of mine weren't too. There were around 30 sets of clothes for each of us they were from PJ's to ballroom dance clothes. There were even some light clothes made for work outs or casual travelling.

I thanked miss Clorka,

"Make sure to visit again Lexy~ I hope you'll come back to model for me. I'll pay you!!!"

I simply chuckled and waved her goodbye. My clothes were going to be brought to our rooms and looked after till we came back. While I was feeling all snazzy as if cosplaying I confidently walked through the halls. Specifically on the side, because we're not supposed to walk on the same line nobels would. Truly exhausting.

...

"Excuse me miss, where would the mages tower happen to be?"

There was a dazed maid walking through the hallway and a very slight tint of red appeared when I talked to her politely.

"O-Oh it would be after taking the second right and through the nobles villas."

'Villas? Villas! What kind of royal place is big enough to house even it's own nobels?'

Thanking her I walked away, not noticing the light blushing. I mean I was also blushing inwardly because I was not really used to this formal way of talking, it felt cringey to an extent but I pushed through this wasn't enough to stop me!

Lifting my chin I playfully walked through the corridors passing the eyes that looked at me... the eye candy. I even stole a few glances at others alot of people had their own charm and various unique hair colours that didn't exist on Earth. I spent so much time reading fantasy and watching anime though, I practically lived it so not a lot of surprised feelings upon coming here.

Monsters were still really scary to look at as real creatures. Even miss Clorka's aesthetic didn't freak me out as much as acknowledging that a few other races, though rare, can be found in this world.

Here over 90% of places are run by humanity, bit we are divided into so many little countries and continents. There is a massive empire that consists solely of other races living together. Lex Armine doesn't know too much because we didn't have a lot of business with them so I'll have to take my own time studying.

"*Whistle* this villa goes kinda crazy tho."

My earthly lingo slipped out under my whispers as I looked at the rows and rows of manors some bigger and moree luxurious than the rest. Each with its own aesthetic and logo on it.

"Some of these should he the embassy's of other nations..."

There were some buildings with flags raised in them representing neighbouring nations of the continent.

"Yeeeep~ thats exactly right Lex~."

A creeping voice whispered in my ear and I shreaked in surprise.

"W-what who!? Oh... hello Roy."

"Hahahaha should have seen your face haha."

Roydan who I hadn't seen since last night, laughed at me while wiping a few tears. He doesn't seek to attempt to hide his mischievous nature it would seem.

"Hah, hah sorry sorry phew! what are you doing here haven't you heard about what happened?"

I raised and eyebrow to his question,

"It would seem you haven't huh?"

He tapped his chin a few time,

"Yep it would seem I haven't... what happened?"

He looked at me closely and spoke,

"I mean I coooouuld tell you but what can you give me?"

I lightly clicked my tongue what's this guy trying to do... whatever I don't have to care for it if he's just trying to play at something.

"I could give you... nothing, I'll just ask somebody else."

"Hehe but what if I'm the only one who knows?"

I waved my hand telling him to continue,

"Well only the nobles, mages and royal family know about it so I wouldn't expect you to."

I put my hand on his should and condescendingly say,

"Roy, Roy , Roy oh sweet sweet Roy~"

I sing, he looks at me a bit confused like why am I doing this?

"Do you forget who my master is I could just ask him!"

I started walking away with a brisk pace and he follows,

"W-wait I'm coming with you is your master in the towers mines is too let's go together."

He stumbles a little on the bricks,

'Despite his high stats when he's startled that someone isn't looking to play his games he's a bit clumsy. Actually why would someone even fal for such a trap that he could he called the god of deceit? Is his charm stat high enough to coerce people to fall into his trap even if they were smart enough to avoid it?'

While we're walking and Roydan keeps talking I contemplate some things for the future and what should I try to do to become stronger?

While I was a bit busy Roy just talking playfully about his time as a servant; but I wasn't aware of the glare he was giving the back of my head.
