Chapitre 32: CHAPTER 32: LOVEY-DOVEY DATE
At the capital city,
Ignacia and Estella went to the jewelry shop first.
"What can I do for you today, Your Highness, Lady Ignacia?" a shop manager asked.
"We want the custom-made rings for our marriage ceremony." Ignacia said.
"Oh, please come this way," a shop manager said and led us to a private room.
"Please use this catalogue as a guideline. I will call the jewelry designer to talk to you two in details, Your Highness, Lady Ignacia" a shop manager said and left.
"Choose the design you like the most, Estel" said Ignacia gently.
"What about you, Igna?" Estella asked.
"I will choose the matching design with you and add some details in the design," said Ignacia nicely.
"Hmm…what is it?" Estella asked, curiously.
"Stars," said Ignacia attractively.
Estella blushed with shyness. She did not expect that she has this sweet side of her.
'Knock' 'Knock'
A shop manager came inside the room with jewelry designer.
"I heard you two want to get the custom-made rings. Do you have the design in your mind, Your Highness, Lady Ignacia?" a jewelry designer asked.
"We have just looked for some design in the catalogue," Estella said.
"Might I ask which style of rings Your Highness like the most?" a jewelry designer asked.
"I like jewelled ring with elegant and unique style," Estella said.
"Might I ask you as well, Lady Ignacia?" a jewelry designer asked.
"I want the matching ring with Her Highness," Ignacia said.
"What kind of jewelry do you like, Your Highness?" a jewelry designer asked.
"What do you think, Igna?" Estella asked Ignacia.
"Blue diamond. It resembles your eyes, Estel" said Ignacia affectionately.
Estella blushed with embarrassment. She turned to tell a jewelry designer, "Blue diamond."
"Please wait for a moment. I will sketch the draft design for you, Your Highness" a jewelry designer said.
"Ah, my ring should be man style and I want you to add small diamond stars apart from the center of blue diamond," Ignacia said.
"I will design the best design for you, Lady Ignacia" a jewelry designer said.
A jewelry designer was very skilled in drawing, she spent time 30 minutes to finish the sketch of 2 rings design. She designed the emerald cut diamond at the center; the ring for Ignacia was emerald cut diamond wide band ring with 4 pointed-star on both side as the side diamonds; the ring for Estella was emerald cut diamond with four claw prongs, the round tapered shank and trapezoid side diamonds.
"I like it. What do you think, Igna?" Estella said, happily.
"I like it too," Ignacia said, gently.
"We chose these designs," Estella said.
"All right. The material would be white gold, and blue diamonds on these designs. We will take time for 2 months to make the best quality, Your Highness, Lady Ignacia" a jewelry designer said, "Oh, I would like to measure the size of your ring fingers. Please forgive my rudeness," She measured our ring fingers.
"Find the best blue diamonds for us. Don't worry about budget. Deliver the rings and give the bill to butler at Virtusarium Manor."
"Yes, Lady Ignacia" a shop manager said, smilingly.
"Do you want anything else, Estel?" Ignacia asked her kindly.
"No, I had brought all new designs already," Estella said.
"All right," Ignacia said.
"Thank you for entrusting our services, Your Highness, Lady Ignacia" a shop manager said, smilingly.
Ignacia and Estella left the jewelry shop and went to Lepos Shop, a clothes shop that own by a famous designer who was great in the design of high fashion, the popular clothes shop among the nobles.
"What can I do for you, Your Highness? Oh, Lady Ignacia" said Priscilla, a noblewoman, long purple hair, purple eyes, who was in her late thirties. She was surprised after she saw Ignacia coming with Estella.
"We would like to order our wedding suit and dress and the suit and dress for the party, Countess Priscilla" said Estella nicely.
"Oh my, Congratulation! Your Highness, Lady Ignacia" Priscilla said and asked, "When will you hold the marriage ceremony, Your Highness, Lady Ignacia?"
"We planned to hold it in the next 6 months. I will send you an invitation card, Countess Priscilla" said Estella nicely.
"You can order more dresses, Estel" said Ignacia gently.
"You're so sweet, Lady Ignacia" Priscilla said, smilingly.
"Please give her the best design, Countess Priscilla" Ignacia said.
"I'm so jealous of you, Your Highness. All right, would you mind if I measure your size first, Lady Ignacia. We have no details about you," said Priscilla nicely.
"No, I don't mind. Please do it," Ignacia said.
A tailor came to measure her body.
"Please come this way, Your Highness" said Priscilla nicely. She led her to fitting room.
"Tell Countess Priscilla to give many dresses to Princess Estella to try. I will buy them all," Ignacia told a tailor.
"Yes, Lady Ignacia" a tailor said.
Ignacia sneaked out of Lepos shop and went to the jewelry shop again.
"Oh, Lady Ignacia, what can I do for you?" a shop manager asked.
"I want to order the custom-made jewelry set," Ignacia said.
"Please come this way, Lady Ignacia" a shop manager said.
She led her to a private room and left. She went to call a jewelry designer.
'Knock' 'Knock'
"I heard you want to order custom-made jewelry set, Lady Ignacia" a jewelry designer said.
"Yes, I want to surprise Estel. Please give me paper and pencil," Ignacia said.
She drew a necklace in shape of lilies, which arranges in tier, the biggest lily at the center, and the sequence of smaller lilies for both side as the chain part. Apart from that, she drew the earrings in lily design to match with the necklace.
"Wow, you are great at drawing, Lady Ignacia" a jewelry designer praised her.
"Ah, it looks like natural design. I like your jewelled design. I think that you can make it more elegance and luxurious. I want the largest lily at the center to be highlight," Ignacia said, then asked, "Is it possible to use white gold, and blue diamonds mainly. It would be good if the materials could match with her ring."
"I will adjust the design and make the best jewelry set for Her Highness, Lady Ignacia" a jewelry designer said, willingly.
"That's good. I want you to design the brooch and cufflinks for me as well. It should match with my ring," Ignacia said.
"I will do my best, Lady Ignacia" a jewelry designer said.
"How long will you finish all these extra orders?" Ignacia asked.
"It might take time 4-5 months. We need to find the best blue diamonds as your requirement and your design required the high skilled craftsman to make the best quality, Lady Ignacia" a jewelry designer said.
"All right. Please finish these orders within this period. The marriage ceremony will be held in the next 6 months. If you need to pay for the extra expenses, just added it in the total cost," Ignacia said and gave 1,000 gold coins to them, "this is a deposit, I will pay the rest after you finished them all. You can tell my butler that you finished my orders but don't tell him in details."
"We will not disappoint you, Lady Ignacia" a shop manager said, smilingly.
"Ah, one more thing, this jewelry set was designed by me. I want you to keep it secret and I will not allow you to make this design to other customers or sell this design to the other shops. You can process the document to make the rights between me and your shop. I will response for any expenses," Ignacia said and explained, "well, you know, Estel don't like someone using the same thing with her. I hope you understand."
"Oh, we understand. We will do everything as you said, Lady Ignacia" a shop manager said, willingly.
Ignacia left the jewelry shop and went to flower shop next. She brought a bouquet of red roses to use it as an excuse for going out without telling her, then went back to Lepos shop.
"Where did you go, Igna?" Estella asked, sulkily.
Ignacia handed her a bouquet of red roses to her, then kissed her on the cheek.
"…Thank you, Igna" Estella said and smiled bashfully.
"Did you choose the design of our wedding suit and dress?" Ignacia asked.
"No, I want to ask your idea but I didn't see you around," said Estella sulkily.
"I thought you need time to try the new dresses first," said Ignacia kindly.
"Here, I like this design. What do you think, Igna?" Estella asked. She showed her a design in catalogue.
"It suits you, Estel" said Ignacia gently.
We spent time for a while until we chose all the custom-made suits and dresses for our marriage ceremony.
"Shall we have a lunch?" Ignacia asked.
"Yes, l would like to go to The Saporista Restaurant," Estella said, delightedly.
"All right," said Ignacia gently.
We walked to The Saporista Restaurant, holding hands happily.
"Look! They are so sweet," a noblewoman said.
"They suit each other. I'm jealous of Her Highness," another noblewoman said, admiringly.
"Lady Ignacia is so cool and handsome. I like her," a noble woman said, admiringly.
"I think so too. Who is going to care she is a woman? She is a commander and the future Duke of Virtusarium," the other noble woman said, admiringly.
We passed them and heard everything while the waiter was leading us to the table.
"You are popular as the same, Igna" said Estella calmly.
"I'm yours anyway," Ignacia said and looked at her affectionately.
Estella blushed with shyness. She felt happy with her words.
"Your Highness, Lady Ignacia," Olivia called.
"Oh Olivia, how have you been?" Ignacia asked, nicely.
"I have been good," said Olivia nicely.
"Did you come alone?" Ignacia asked, gently.
"No, I came with my friends. I saw you and Your Highness coming inside. So, I would like to greet to you and Your Highness," said Olivia nicely.
"Ah, it's good to see you here. I have something to tell you, Oliver" Ignacia said.
"What is it, Lady Ignacia?" Olivia asked, curiously.
"I will marry Princess Estella in the next 6 months. I will send the invitation card to you, Olivia" said Ignacia gently.
"Oh, Congratulation! I will wait for your invitation card," said Olivia smilingly, she tried to hide her sad feeling, "Well, have a good day. I will excuse myself," She hurriedly walked away, feeling hurt uncontrollably.
Estella looked at Ignacia and smiled the smile of satisfaction.
"You can kiss me if you like the way I behaved, Estel" Ignacia teased her.
"We are outside, Igna" said Estella bashfully.
"Isn't it good? Everyone will know I am reserved for you only," Ignacia said, looking at her affectionately.
"They will know when we hold the marriage ceremony," said Estella bashfully.
"All right. I'm in your hand. Everything is up to you, Estel" Ignacia said, looking at her adoringly.
"I will see how long you can behave, Igna" said Estella nicely.
"You will see my performance every day, Estel" said Ignacia passionately.
Estella blushed and smiled the smile of joy, then changed the subject, "I will tell my father to invite the High Priest to be witness in our marriage ceremony."
"That's good. What else we have to prepare? You can tell Pervis to do it for us. I don't want you to get tired, Estel" said Ignacia kindly.
"I will list everything again and talk to Pervis," said Estella nicely.
"All right," Ignacia said.
