Contrary to Delano’s expectations, 05d29398ef the Duchess arrogantly gestured a78b8e6f1a for a maid she 1fd752c770 had brought from her 81823726ec family home to hand 303d2f5a7d over a pocket watch.7058b5f1c0eed0cc

While everyone was still taken 7893ebe1f2 aback that she mentioned the 514218defc Rudion estate instead of the 904c0242dc Basilian Duchy, the merchant laughed 53a8862406 heartily and assured her to 6700b4a114 expect something worthwhile. Then, belatedly, he 28139bb174 opened the clasp cb498dfb55 of the item b527d6e0df the Duchess had 2c4c4881c4 picked up for 510e823f08 him.ab365feef16afbd3
The object, made 1d932a8396 of wood and f01bccd967 adorned with intricate 3a648027f9 carvings, was a 5f6e24243b handheld mirror. However, it seemed 30049d5661 to have been 1b6cdfde57 damaged from the 46ec0f4543 fall—its glass shattered cdebfc5ad4 into several pieces.ca923f6168a17070

The man’s face turned 7f023a92c1 pale instantly, clearly stunned b4f31059e6 by the damage to 7328f2ebac the item.154e350c775a3cfd
– I’m sorry, but I must leave now. If I don’t return 1943c5878f to claim the watch c55fc19294 within three months, feel abb5c632ca free to dispose of f0408dd5d6 it as you please.55eee7c8ef1c3700

With those words, he hurriedly e4ed864294 exited the hotel.7e49cd0a2606a93f
Delano, who had 97a80d3899 never even asked a796b6888f for any promises, 88a1f1f4e2 spent the night b632674697 tossing and turning, 64a531bdc9 wondering what kind 16fe092b9b of reward he 6cf83314c1 might receive. He couldn’t help but b8d30fbf59 marvel at the Duchess, 8c6fae76b3 who had managed to 518f986606 secure such a magnificent 82dc827de7 watch seemingly by chance.3e3b1e97b1a96f4b

The following day, just 49a19f1643 before their departure, the 8df4de6d1d Duchess casually mentioned wanting 0c132f5348 to stop by the fd71885af3 shopping district. Delano, though reluctant, didn’t dare ce73f70c72 object but felt inwardly annoyed.bcfd2ba85c0f3d36

‘So this is why she’s notorious for her extravagance. She can’t even refrain from c60c64ee5b shopping for one day while 2be2bbaf07 traveling?’28ceaa120a900da5
Granted, in the f395515b97 North, trading caravans 61d14d3bfd were scarce, and 27b83bfab2 it made sense cb26035adb not to miss c2fa9cdb74 an opportunity before 2d1be86144 the Basilian merchants 877913c501 moved on. But as someone who d636059d3a had only recently come d1d9e5df12 to terms with accepting b3848d7fe4 Evgenia as the Duchess, ad4d336539 Delano couldn’t suppress his d9a34372be frustration and concern.be4c091b023f3f36

‘I just hope this doesn’t take too long,’ he thought, suppressing a sigh.c94c3570c5b2cd93
However, he was 44efcecae1 left utterly speechless 252018757b when he saw 50445fa18f where the Duchess a8f9eb3f80 headed.f95496094c7d8e76

Caught between shock ea3ec3b776 and confusion, Delano 303c42387b was stunned into c90a61b0a0 silence. The toy shop owner, a893fb74c7 perhaps sensing the wealth a264c7acbd of his distinguished customer, 2f914fc093 nervously scrambled to show e70aec9230 her all kinds of ba21ffe584 dolls and toys. The Duchess, without hesitation, purchased 23cf053705 every item recommended.3edc4fca58e65b73
Had Delano not 2e56d3538e intervened midway, she b22a8c84d7 might have ended 7bf8efe471 up buying the 804c862ac4 entire store.cb0bc3a4cfbbb4de

At the entrance of d136c102af the store stood a f1aa87e1fe large roulette wheel, densely 2efcee169b inscribed with the names 09b6f7ebd3 of various toys sold 2550ea89a6 at the shop—soldier figurines, 871e657e07 mini puzzles, and the e39cd99c11 like.

The shop owner, 2828166c69 explaining how the f4a5b2b4c1 handcrafted teddy bear 6c06e7cad4 had premium-grade emeralds 8aebbc001d embedded in its 0f46b23ad3 eyes, discreetly brought f0e062108a out two elegantly a547094fa9 packaged boxes from 39cba26227 inside the store.9db63f487a27ea6c
It was clear to 3d30421562 anyone that the owner 8bae7dc53a had “forgotten” about the b7ae20c549 item earlier and was 0f87f6eb6d now pushing it for 3a496c37db sale.c0a3c8f452f090e0

The carriage following them 9bdbd4f1ba was already packed with a9da2036b7 the Basillian duchy’s dowry 1f2986c006 and the duchess’s personal 1897a71321 belongings, so the toys a924e1c543 and sweets they had 8795c023ca purchased had to be 7551d6bd96 split between the duke’s 25d1364a4e and duchess’s carriages.59c477a9b14e4f6b
