Capítulo 33: Chapter 33 Paris Angel Trading Company

The pace of life in the 18th century was as slow as clouds drifting across the sky.

Although Joseph was aware of the frenzy among the ladies at the Palace of Versailles for Angel Water, it wasn't until the following evening that the beauticians' assistant brought back news from the shop.

"So, you sold a total of 1,460 livres?" Joseph asked the young man in astonishment, "40 bottles?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Those misses and madams were all bidding up the price, it was impossible to buy it at the original cost. I heard that in the 'Source of Elegance' store, their attendants nearly came to blows."

Joseph let out a long sigh, a misstep, sold too cheap!

It seemed,

his heart was still not cold enough...

his understanding of the weight of the ladies' purses was still insufficient...

his trust in the Queen's influence on fashion was still lacking...

Having learnt from this painful lesson, if there's a mistake, it must be corrected, and Joseph immediately decided—raise the prices!
