Fashion Contest

The same evening, on the eastern side of the city. A beautiful young woman mused over the words of the man in front of her.

"I don't see why not, then. You are offering to do it for free, right?"

"Yes. My Nelthilis Fashion will make sure your performers are the best dressed in the entire competition. This whole changeup with the fashion competition is a bit unexpected and incredibly lucky for me."

Malcom looked up, his gaze avoiding Eria's perfectly shaped face.

"My lead designer fell ill right before the scheduled competition, but this changeup has given him enough time to recover and prepare."

Eria couldn't help but crack a small smile as she leaned back in her chair.

'Malcom here is that rival designer West wanted to compete with… it seems West successfully incapacitated that designer, only to get screwed over by a schedule change. Hmm… this could get interesting…'

Eria leaned forward over the table, causing Malcom to back away.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"
