THE FOUNDING FESTIVAL (7)

"THANK YOU for inviting me to have tea with you, Your Majesty," Gypsy said politely. "It's an honor."

Empress Audrey sipped her tea first before speaking. "It's been a while since we met at the duchy. I would have asked how you've been, but I can tell that you've been doing well." The empress' gaze landed on the handbag that she carefully placed on the table. "So, that's the handbag worth seventeen million rays that the young ones have been talking about all day."

Yes, that was the impact of the first Crescent handbag that she softly launched in public today.

Her strategy worked because everyone was talking about it now.

[It even reached Her Majesty's ears.]
