Bab 147: Rumor Has It

"Laina, Laina! Look, look!" Colette exclaimed with glee as she pointed to a stall selling hairpins. 

Then, another market stall selling toys caught her eye. The little girl tugged on Laina's sleeve and pointed it out to her. 

"Yes yes, that one is adorable, isn't it? Where do you wanna go first?"

"There! I wanna see the pretty dresses!" 

As per her wishes, they went over to the street stall selling children's dresses of every form. There were simple dresses for everyday wear and more formal dresses for formal occasions. Laina put Colette down so that she could pick out the dress she liked on her own. 

Margaret and Kol followed them closely behind. 

"For a girl who's supposed to have lost her family, she's pretty outspoken," Margaret commented as she folded her arms.
