章節 252: Clothes Store (PT:1)

After leaving the palace Daedalus couldn't help but chuckle at the stupidity of the guard. Who demands to know the identity of someone leaving the palace, and more so if the person isn't wearing servants clothes?

Having a good laugh, Daedalus then continued with his plan to explore the capital and maybe the surrounding area. His first order of business was, of course, to get himself some new and less conspicuous clothes. While walking around Daedalus had realised the style of clothes most people were wearing was medieval in style but with a cleaner look.

So Daedalus looked around for a while and occasionally asked where a clothes shop was. He was actually rather disappointed with the attitude that most people had, Daedalus guessed it was because his clothes looked worn out.

Eventually however Daedalus found his way to a clothes store where he decided to look around. It was a larger building and clearly one of the more luxurious stores in the city. What he noticed other than that was the lack of people going near the entrance, some even went out of their ways to avoid it

Daedalus gave it no mind however he did notice that most everyone who saw what he was doing sneered at him or laughed with pity in their eyes. As he arrived at the door Daedalus quickly realised why people had been avoiding the entrance and even laughed at him. There was a formation that required you to produce a broach or other item containing an insignia, likely of one of the noble houses.

This made Daedalus realise that he had made a mistake, he had been trying to be low-key and not catch people's attention. Now though they had laughed and sneered at him which made him not want to back down. So he wouldn't back down.

Daedalus walked forward and took out a small trinket that Ceridwen had given him while saying "Use this if you want to do what you like, just don't cause too much trouble." Daedalus chuckled as he remembered that but reached out to use the trinket.

Before he could a voice from behind said "Who let a commoner like you walk in front of me? Get out of my sight!"

Daedalus immediately felt annoyed thinking 'Is it another one of these cliché events that Richard talked about?" Sadly the voice spoke again while he was thinking "Someone deal with this commoner."

Daedalus had had enough and just put the trinket into the formation causing it to light up in a green and gold light for a moment before the door swung open. The person behind Daedalus yelped before taking a massive breath. Daedalus then walked inside having not turned to look at the person this entire time before saying "What's your family name?"

The person behind Daedalus spoke again this time with a tone of pure regret "I am sorry for my mistake, my family name is Tian and my name is De Long Tian. I didn't expect that a royal would wear clothes like that and assumed you where a commoner. I apologize again for my mistake."
