Chapter 6- Going Out

"Laila, do you want to come with me to the town centre?"

"What do you mean My Lady?"

"Well, I mean we can go shopping today. We have not visited our favorite stores for two weeks now."

"Saying our, My Lady is..." Safira saw Laila blushing. Whenever she shops she will buy something for her, too but only things that will not be too suspicious with her family, like some trinkets. It was their secret to keep, the kind of warmth the previous Safira hold on until its gone.

"Yes. So let's go."

Usually the family will not bother with her when she goes out as the allowance given to her is but a little budget from them. They have to maintain their reputation as well by being a loving family.

The previous owner of this body always goes to visit stores to make herself happy, it does not necessarily means she buys something. She may not know it but she is also trying to cope from her experiences. This is also probably to fill the void of her heart so she seeks it in material things which helped her in some way she did not know or understand.

Safira did not need to worry about jewelries since she has plenty of them. What she seeks now is a designer so her future plans will be moving in the direction she wants. Her vision for dress and swim suits are so bright she can't help herself smiling crazily.

"M-my Lady, your face..." Laila brought her back to reality.

"Oh. Erm. Yes, we shall be going now."

"You are not going to bring anything My Lady?"

"Not today. Anyway, we can shop and ask the attendants to bring it home."

"Are you sure, My Lady?"

"Yes." She smiled cheekily. It is as if her stepmom and siblings just let her be when she goes shopping. They still berate her but only when she is home. She plans to irritate them anyway.

She is still not used to this lavish lifestyle but it will not stop her to adapt it. Who in the world would let this opportunity go? She will go shopping spree!

But first things first.

"Laila, I want you to go to Rhow Town today with me before we shop."

My lady-in-waiting looked horrified and surprised. Her expressions are so funny from my announcement I had to laugh softly.

"My Lady this is not a laughing matter." Laila scold me.

"It is a commoner's town and they said people there are so unbecoming where they lack discipline and harm nobles whenever they see one. This is the reason why they always bring heavy security with them."

I can see Laila's fear and there should be something I have to do to reassure her about it.

I wink at her and said,

"We can bring Sir Barth with us."

That made her blush. I know she has a big crush on our knight but is too shy with him. I also know that the feelings are mutual.

I grinned and keep winking at her.

"My Lady please stop making those weird faces." Laila informed while still blushing.

After asking Sir Barth as they have no other activities today, we head out to Rhow's Town.

"Remember guys, we are going incognito today."

"My Lady, you are speaking words we do not understand again."

'Oopps! It can't be helped. Oh well.'

I smiled sheepishly. It was Laila who accepted me immediately after I woke up. She made me feel secured and cared for even though I know she has a lot of questions.

That's the thing with Laila, she respects Safira and what she is going through. She will offer a shoulder to cry on and laugh with her.

I replied,

"Don't mind me I am just saying we will blend with the crowd."

Sir Barth nods and Laila made an expression.

Recalling what we did before going out, we borrowed some clothes from the workers back home and even though I can see Laila protesting, I immediately made my move.

"Please Laila you have to help me. I feel sad in here." I made sure to use my pleading eyes with her. The attack she can never resists.

"My Lady, you know I can't leave you even if there is danger."

I smiled ruefully. She never did... I gave her my warmest hug and urged her to change.

Laila sighed, shake her head and resigned her fate with me. But I can see in her face she is happy, although there is still worry.
