Shopping...
"Are you ready to go?"
"Where are we going?"
"You'll find out when you get there."
Seraphina had no choice but to accompany Raven with his vague words. From the bedroom, Raven headed straight to the parlor that was not too far away, guiding her gently through the familiar halls of the mansion.
"This is the parlor."
"That's right."
Didn't he say we were going shopping? Seraphina tilted her head in confusion. Raven, however, was casually opening the door for her, his demeanor calm and confident.
"Huh?"
Seraphina's small lips parted in surprise. The parlor looked different from what she had known. Colorful clothes were displayed on wooden hangers, transforming the space into an elegant boutique. The once plain room was now vibrant and filled with life, the dresses shimmering under the soft light.
