Secret Wardrobe Of The Duchess Chapter 230

It wasn't easy for them to walk in human form. When they finally arrived at the shop, they could see it was surprisingly neat. The door was made of quality glass and the sign was written cleanly in white paint. However, it only scared them.

"Wouldn't they kick us out?"

They were wearing clothes of the adventurers they had killed for trespassing their mistress's territory. And since adventurers never wore decent clothes, they were practically wearing rags.

But until now, it had been their only way to acquire human clothes. Of course, they could steal from people, but they had the pride as their mistress's underlings and didn't want to steal anything.

"I think they would."

Snow was immediately overwhelmed by the neatly dressed customers and saleswoman. She worried they might only get humiliated in there.

However, Blanco was just eager to reach those piles of clothes.

"If they tell us to get out, I will kick them out."

"But this isn't our mistress's territory. We can't do as we please."

"Even Madam Berry will compliment what I'm about to do! She said designers should welcome all customers."

Blanco acted as if Presa was Madam Berry's territory and she was her underling. Snow wanted to point out the fact, but she didn't.

She was also excited every time the saleswoman showed to the customers a dress. They all looked so pretty, and she was eager to take a closer look.

"They'll buy it if we say we're here to buy dresses for our wives. Although adventurers dress poorly, they always carry a lot of cash."

"But wouldn't they be suspicious of them? Adventurers might lose all their money at gambling houses, but they would never buy dresses for their wives."

"There are at least a few exceptions in every group. We can show them we have enough money, and they won't kick us out. It always works well at fabric shops."

The two underlings checked their wallets and went inside. The clear sound of a bell echoed as they opened the door.

"Welcome!"

Thankfully, the saleswoman didn't kick them out but welcomed them with a kind smile. Showing off their heavy wallets had been the right choice.

"I'm here to buy dresses for my wife. First, show me the best dress you have!"

"Of course, here it is."

The woman took out the most expensive dress in the shop and showed it to the excited Snow. It was made of silk ribbons and laces, and they had seen such dresses only in pamphlets. Snow immediately decided to buy it.

"I want to buy the biggest size you have."

"The biggest? But that's really… big. It won't fit your wife."

"How big it is?"

"Only someone who is three meters tall can wear it."

It clearly wasn't a size for humans. Why on earth had Madam Berry made such a thing? She even sent it to the shop to be sold.

Was she trying a weird thing for promotion effects? Anyway, the saleswoman had to explain about it every time a customer wanted the biggest size, so she really didn't like the extra work.

"I want it! My wife is that size."

"What? Your wife is three meters tall?"

"Yes."

They didn't have time to waste. Their transformation wasn't going to last long. It made Snow impatient and she showed her wallet first. The saleswoman thought it would be full of silver coins, but what she took out were shining gold coins.

"I will wrap it up for you."

No salesperson could resist the temptation of gold coins. The woman stopped thinking and started wrapping. Blanco went to her with a dress and carefully asked, "Is this the dress Ms. Grace wears?"

"Yes. It's in a different color and material, but the same design. But it's a dress for unmarried girls, so it won't be appropriate for your wife…"

"Marital status doesn't matter in fashion! Wrap me ten of this dress, the biggest size."

Blanco eventually lost control at hearing it was the dress Grace wore.

"Ten? Do you really need that much?"

"Yes, I need at least that much, for myself and as a present for my friends."

"What? You're going to wear it yourself?"

Blanco made a slip of tongue in excitement, and Snow quickly tried to take care of it.

"My friend must have made a mistake while talking in excitement. Um, his wife is really huge and hasn't been able to find a dress in her size."

"Oh, I see."

There were that many women who were three meters tall? It was hard to believe, but the woman decided to buy it at seeing Blanco take out more gold coins. Gold was never wrong.

"How about buying different kinds of dresses rather than buying ten of the same dress?"

"No, we don't have time for them. Just wrap them up quickly. We must go."

Blanco sensed her talons were coming back to their original forms and yelled. The woman quickly started to wrap. It was weird that the customer was asking for ten dresses of unbelievable size, but what was even stranger was that the shop indeed had ten dresses of unbelievable size.

But… whatever. She got a huge bonus every time she sold a dress, and she was paid almost three more times than that when she sold the largest size. That bonus made her dismiss her growing suspicions.

"Here they are."

As soon as she said that, the two underlings took their purchase and ran out of the shop. As soon as they left the alley and reached the forest, they came back to their huge original forms.

"We did it!"

"We bought dresses, we bought dresses!"

They had bought enough for themselves and their friends. They held hands and danced in joy. Minos smiled as he looked at them from a tree a little far away.

He was glad that his plan was working, but he was even gladder that he could take their gold. He had invested some money in the shop for it.

'Now they'll come every day. I must tell them to make as many of the largest size dresses as possible.'

And he was right, they came to buy more dresses every day. Moreover, Blanco and Snow were not the only underlings coming. In just a few days, Madam Berry became the second-highest deity to Iber's underlings, right after the dragon herself.

The moment they were all completely addicted to her dresses, Minos moved on to the next step.

"Blanco."

Blanco, who was happily choosing dresses to buy at Presa, looked up when being called. She could recognize Minos immediately, although he was in human form.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is. Claymore's loyal subject!"

"Oh, please don't be so cold to me."

Blanco wished she could grab him by his collar and throw him out, but this wasn't her home. She looked away as if she had just seen something dirty and talked to the saleswoman.

"Does this dress come in any other color?"

As Blanco was a VIP who gave the shop more than half of its profits, the saleswoman always considered her as her top priority. Blanco wanted to talk to her and ignore Minos.

"Yes, it also comes in sky blue. Oh, Mr. Minos!"

However, the moment she saw Minos, her attention immediately moved to him. She had never been so nervous around Blanco, no matter how many dresses she bought.

"I didn't know you were coming. Please, sit here."

She even asked him to sit down, but she had never asked Blanco to sit down. Of course, as she always had very little time to shop, she would never have been able to sit down, but the woman had never asked her, which was a huge difference. She couldn't help being jealous.

"Hmm."

Minos pretended to think and glanced at Blanco. She had her back turned to them, but he could see she was trying hard to eavesdrop. It was time to cast the bait.

"No, I must leave soon. Well, how is business?"

"It's going extremely well."

"Well? But your sales are a lot smaller compared to the other shop in the capital."

The saleswoman had thought she was about to be complimented, so she was quite surprised to hear that. Although she was selling only dresses of the largest size, it was almost a miracle to raise that much profit in such a rural town.

"Mr. Minos, I know this shop cannot be compared to the ones in the capital, but I think its sales are considerably high."

"No, I am not questioning your capability. I rather think you are being undervalued. You can do much better, you shouldn't be stuck in this small town. We're planning to start exporting our produces, so how about closing this shop and moving to a harbor? You will get many more customers…"

"No!"

With that shriek, Minos was thrown to the ceiling. As he fell again, Blanco's hand quickly grabbed him by his collar and ran out before the saleswoman could stop her.

'At least she's not throwing me on the ground!'

However, Blanco did exactly that as soon as they reached the desolate forest. She hadn't been able to do it at the shop only because there had been too many eyes watching.
