"How are you feeling now, Miss Mary?"
In a bespoke eyewear shop on a street in capital City, Elise looked at the black-haired girl in front of her, who was gently touching the frame of her glasses, her expression dazed. Elise's tone was calm.
"I feel much clearer..."
Hearing Elise's question, Mary nodded, her tea-colored eyes flickering with faint light.
"Thank you, Lady Elise!"
In the Valeria Empire, glasses had always been a luxury that only the noble class could afford.
And lenses that combined practicality with the ability to correct vision were even more expensive.
Without the level of mental control of a magister, it was impossible to achieve the precision needed to craft such lenses.
If Mary had ordered these glasses herself, it would have taken her at least half a year's salary, even if she didn't eat or drink.
"Don't thank me. This was Princess Astrid's idea."
Elise spoke softly, correcting Mary's words.
