Chapter 222 A Day At Ghaleria (Part 5)
There was only one cabin inside the dressing room, the space was enough for two girls to change at the same time, so Sarina and Kana the first pair of mother and daughter entered.
Lilia chuckled, she leaned her head against her son’s shoulder and handed him a couple of bags.
“These are the clothes I selected for Rya darling, consider them a gift from me, you can keep them in your spatial ring”.
Aster saw the grin in his mother’s face and he kept the clothes in his spatial ring, for later “usage”.
His attention was then drawn by the sound of curtains opening as both Sarina and Kana came out of the dressing cabin.
Sarina was now wearing a light green colored long dress which perfectly combined with her emerald like eyes, the dress accentuated her voluptuous figure while still making her look elegant and refined.
Sarina felt Aster’s gaze on her body and she blushed a bit, her usual style isn’t that different from the dress she was wearing right now, the principal difference was that they are looser than it, on the other hand she wasn’t just a mother anymore, she had a lover and of course she wanted to look pretty for him.
“I’m younger than Lilia, with time I will reach that point”, she said to herself.
Aster smiled at Aria and she entered the dressing cabin to change her clothes back, the other clothes she chose had similar designs… with the exception of some that will be exclusive to the dormitory, but she was a bit shy to show them when Camila and Mylene are present, so she kept them as a surprise for night.
The next one was Kana; she had a bright smile on her face as she turned around showing what she chose, a white dress with a few blue designs which looked like flowers, it made her look fresh and cute, truly fitting of her energetic self.
“Mom helped me chose it, does it look on me big brother?”.
Her adorable praising looking expression was way too cute, Aster couldn’t help but nod.
“It suits you pretty well”.
Kana happily giggled and then entered to change back with her mother’s help.
Once they left the next ones were of course Lilia and Alice, needless to say but Aster was quite interested in whatever those two chose, last time Lilia looked superb in that white dress which was exclusive for his eyes.
And his expectations weren’t let down, his eyes were immediately attracted to Lilia as soon as she appeared.
Lilia proudly flaunted her explosive figure in a low-cut dress with a side slit on the right side of the skirt, the red color of the dress combined with her eye color, her shoulders were also exposed showing her pale skin which had a healthy tone, it was a pleasure just looking at her.
“Damn, she looks so damn good… but I won’t let her wear that in public”, thought Aster, while looking at her breasts which seemed to be about to burst out of the dress.
Lilia inwardly nodded after getting the reaction she wanted from her son, she turned around and returned to the dressing cabin while graciously swaying her hips.
Aster felt two different gazes on him, one of them was Mylene which was a bit curious of his relationship with Lilia, the other one was more on the suspicious side and belonged to Camila.
Ignoring their gazes Aster changed his attention to Alice, his sister chose a similar yet different approach compared to Lilia.
She was wearing a black dress with a modern style, leaving a big part of her legs in plain view while still covering the important parts, on the upper part her breasts were covered by two strands of fabric while the area of the cleavage was covered by a thin black semitransparent cloth.
“A mix between elegancy and rebelliousness, that’s so like you”, mumbled Aster.
Alice stuck her tongue at her brother and then left the “scenario” for the next girls, both Lilia and Alice sat down next to him, while Mylene took over.
Aster was a bit surprised that Mylene participated in this little fashion show, although it wasn’t necessarily a couple thing, it was still not something a girl will do for any guy, friend or not.
It didn’t take long for Mylene to show them her new get up, completely different to her princess like pink long dress, she was now wearing a skirt and a turtleneck light purple blouse with a slit that showed a portion of her cleavage.
“Not too flashy not too demure also”.
Aster gave his verdict which made Mylene smile.
“Now that I know the truth thanks to Eris, I will never behave like I did back then, so I wanted to have a total change, this is me “Mylene” and not the young miss of the Karel family!”.
Over the past days Mylene showed a big change in her personality, Aster could see that although she still kept her guard up a bit around them, she was now comfortable among them, especially after being entrusted with the security of Kana and also teaching Aster about alchemy.
Aster didn’t mistreat her nor ordered her to do anything she didn’t want to do and Kana considered her like an older sister instead of a servant, so slowly but surely, she was unconsciously integrating in Aster’s family, just like Eris.
That being said Mylene never had anyone who she could consider a friend on the same generation as her, so she still felt a bit shy trying on clothes for someone else.
Unlike Lilia, the clothes she chose weren’t so “daring”, so she didn’t change back to her former pink dress, her intention was clear, she was going to use these clothes she chose by herself.
Although she felt a bit embarrassed after seeing Lilia wearing that flashy dress, Camila was actually having fun, so ultimately, she shrugged and decided to participate.
After a couple of minutes of hesitating inside the dressing cabin she opened the curtain for them to see her current look.
Normally she wears a long dress with the emblem of the Wolfstein family, since most of her time she has to act as the supreme elder, while Isaac was plotting and letting himself drown in carnal pleasures, she had to manage the clan.
But right now, she was just trying on some clothes with other girls for fun.
She chose a black long-sleeved one-piece dress, with a pretty different design, the skirt was a bit short on the lower part, showing a few centimeters above her knees, her chest was covered but her shoulders weren’t.
Lilia inwardly chuckled, “If you start showing that much skin, you will get trapped to never escape you know?”, she thought.
Seeing that although Aster looked a bit surprised about her dress, he didn’t show that much of a reaction, she felt eased, this morning she caught some of the guards which usually just look at her with admiration, having a different feeling on their eyes… desire.
And of course, she related it to the sudden changes she underwent last night, but now she looked at Aster which was still as relaxed as ever and she let out a sigh of relief.
“Maybe I was overthinking this morning”, she thought.
The girls tried a few more get ups for Aster and then once they were happy with their choices, they opened the door of the dressing room, the manager was respectfully waiting for them outside.
“Were the clothes up to your liking, or would you like me to bring a few more options?”.
Aster shook his head and handed the woman a few spirit stones.
“That’s not necessary, we’ll take everything, this should be enough to pay for it right?”, although Aster had some gold ingots, he didn’t have any coins as they were practically useless for him.
The manager happily accepted the payment and they left the shop, outside Eris was waiting for them, but she didn’t look happy, her expression changed when she saw Mylene’s new look but she didn’t say anything.
Aster noticed Eris was a bit frustrated and he asked.
“Did anything happen?”.
I wasn’t likely that she got into any problem considering she is currently a sea of knowledge cultivator in the energy path, but Aster still wanted to make sure just in case.
Eris sighed.
“It’s nothing, I wanted to find a few slightly decent materials, but the stores here didn’t have them, so I only got the lowest things on my shopping list”.
Aster contemplated things for a moment and then an old memory flashed through his mind.
,m “I think I know of a place that might have what you are looking for, but you won’t get the things immediately as they will be transported here”.
Eris’s eyes glowed.
“It’s fine, I don’t need them for today”.
Aster nodded, “You too Mylene, the it’s easier this way, just prepare a list of the thing you need and we’ll have someone look for them”.
After saying that Aster guided them to the street where people saw the birth of the “golden reaper”, that’s right he took the girls to the auction house which is managed by Wieland Kraft.
“This sure brings back some memories” thought Aster as they entered the auction house.
