Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)

Chapter 68: Festival with Vivienne (XI).

Kein's POV

Vanilla was going to wait outside patiently just like before. We were  continuing our journey shopping for Vivienne's necessities but this time, we were focused on her clothing.

Vivienne held onto my pants as I held the door open for little Vivienne who runs inside and was immediately taken in with a variety of dresses displayed.

"Whoah!!!" She was already liking my old boyish noble clothes and back then Baron Hills was kind enough to let me choose what I wanted to wear.

I was expecting to be in a dress twenty-four seven back when I got adopted but I'm glad that it's not like that. I would want to be the same for Vivienne. I don't want to neglect her and just leave her with my old clothes in case she doesn't like any of them so it's best if she would explore on her own for now and let her choose for herself.

"Mama!"

I could hear Vivienne yelling and pointing excitedly at a little blue dress that was on display and several more that were out of her reach. "That's a really nice one. Mm, you have a good eye for these." I walked up to her and patted her head looking at the dress she picked to be a good one.

I noticed that the store had a few more other customers that were eyeing us and I felt a little shy. They also looked like young mothers who brought their daughters along to shop for the upcoming festival. So I guess I wasn't alone...

New clothes means welcoming the new time in style and perhaps if the light goddess has taken a liking to the clothes that you pick she'll be happy and give double the blessings.

Is what the new rumor I heard coming around here.

After the clothes we should take a small trip into the city to get food as promised.

"Hello- good morning, how can I help you?" Another new staff lady approaches us and asks us what we needed.

"Any dress that would fit my daughter, both formal and casual attire. I would like to have them delivered by Baron Hill's estate." I take out my card address and hand it over to her.

The staff lady's eyes widened while accepting the card I offered with shaking hands.

"Y-You're-! I see!" Her eyes flicked a hint of recognition before bowing slightly. It seems even here the Hills family name holds some recognition of the fact that we're well known around the city.

"Right this way. Milady! Please we'll take you to the finest products that we have!" She continues hurrying to escort us at the back.

I nodded following the lady as I picked up Vivienne to see some of the clothes the staff lady took out from the back. "These are some of the new tailored designs that can be delivered in two weeks in your estate, milady."

She holds up several dresses that were tied up in her arm and I put down Vivienne to help her change her clothes. She was rather excited to wear the whole thing because she kept jumping up and down, her face turning into a little kettle when she was impatient.

"Milady, I'll help your daughter go change in the back. You can just watch as we put on a little fashion show for you." She asks and I'm not going to lie. A little fashion show for Vivienne and walking on an imaginary runway seems fun!

"Alright. I'll be sitting in a corner right over here. Please do great care of her." I saw a little couch right in front of the public changing room that was inside the store. Mm... I decided to wait around the place as I looked into the time. They were already picking a lot of casual and formal dresses.

From the looks of it, I think if Rose were with us shopping for Vivienne's dresses she would be the one mostly handling it all. I don't know a thing about what kind of dresses would fit our daughter... ah... speaking of which I would need to tell her soon of the news that we'll be adopting her as soon as the legitimate papers arrive.

"Milady- your daughter has just finished putting on some dresses. Would you like to see how much it fits your daughter?"

"That would be appreciated, yes. If you don't mind I would like to see her in all the dresses she would put on to try."

A small curious crowd formed and watched along with me, the curtains of the changing rooms opened and closed watching the modeling scene happen.

"Hmm~" (Vivienne) posed as the curtain opened with the blue dress she picked out before moving to another. It felt like a small little fashion show with how the other people decided to stick around and watch.

"Oh what a cute little girl! I wonder where her parents are."

"I think that's her mother right there… they certainly look alike."

"She seems too young to be a mother though but goodness me she is rather charming."

Vivienne didn't feel shy towards the strangers watching her model for them, she even felt proud and confident about strutting inside the store.

Little Vivienne was now out with her little toothy grin showing herself in cute little dresses as she waited for me for my reaction.

"It's cute, if you want we can have it delivered by the next few weeks."

Ka Ching!

Another shop has disclosed, Vivienne was not carrying much because we had some of the dresses tailored to her size for the little girl to wear properly.

I took out another pouch filled with money and grimaced, giving it to the staff lady who smiles happily having some of her clothing sets being bought. "Thank you for your purchase today!"

"I would like to have them by two weeks, I will have my servant pick it up by then. Thank you." I told the staff lady who escorted us to the buying and showing process as we got out of the shop really quickly because Vivienne seemed to be hungry, her face pouting as she held her stomach with both of her hands.

My storage ring feels somehow lighter when I use all those coins.

I know that this would be considered something of a small knowing that I'm now in a Low ranked family of nobility who has a huge business towards land expansion and charity.

pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ If I would've converted that money I would've gotten a few couple digital coins to buy for some coins to pull for some Gacha games that I quit in my old world in 2025. Then again, Vivienne seems to be happy with all the things that we bought today so I suppose it was worth it.

Speaking of which, I know Avery Williams probably took her money to buy some digital goods and accessories for her own entertainment. She seemed to be the type to do it.

"Mama..." (Vivienne) holds my hand and tugs it. Ah... with all the thoughts running across my mind I almost didn't feel it.

"Yes, Vivienne?"

She looks down into the ground and kicks a small rock looking a little depressed over there. "Mommy... next time we bring."

Oh- she wanted to bring Rose to shop with her. She really has gotten attached to Rose and I, it would be the same for both of us because this is only nearing the third week that we have gotten her. Even Father, the estate servants and Vanilla have gotten attached as well.

"Rose... erm your Mommy we'll invite her next time. I promise you that. She was just a little busy, that's why she couldn't be able to come today but she told me that on the day of the festival, mommy will be able to shop and play with you." I took her hand in mine and we walked together moving towards the shop's exit.

"I almost miss your mommy, so let's wait for her together okay?"

.-.-.-.-.

Vanilla was outside as expected, she waited and angrily saw me. She bumps her head at me with a little force, hinting me that she was hungry and she wanted to eat now. "Vanilla! Hehehe..."

Vivienne on the other hand seemed to have forgotten her hunger after seeing Vanilla who waited for her oddly happy return. I could even see Vanilla's tail wagging slightly like I've been replaced, I don't even think she answers to some of my commands now.

She only answers Vivienne's.

"Alright sorry- come on let's go eat. We'll be running around the city streets and buying some fresh fruit and skewers for you both but- hopefully we can get Vivienne something easily digestible too." I held Vanilla's leash onto the left of my hand and the little blonde headed girl on my right.

"Yay! Food!"

"I still can't understand how you can eat that much and stay small."

After some occasional staring we went into the market and was bombarded by so many people yelling and shoving their wares into the customer's faces. I felt unsteady and fear that Vivienne might get separated from us so I picked her up and carried  her into my arms for safety.

It was rare that someone would bring a Pegasus into the streets like I would so we would get some occasional stares but since Vanilla was wearing her uniform the people would understand that we were from the knights of order that's protecting the city.

"Miss! Please come take a look! We have everything that you might need!"

"Are you single, miss? Would you perhaps care to look at a brooch?"

"Apples! Fresh apples! Come and get them!"

I could see Vanilla's ear perked up from the merchant's words of apples so she bumps her snout to my back and I got the message of her wanting me to buy them- I already promised to buy a lot of them for her anyways. "Thanks for reminding me girl."

We went towards the seller and I bought about two bags of apples.

"Ubie... Does anyone... want some ubie nuts?"

Now it was my turn to have my attention taken by the same old lady... with distinctive clothing that originated from [Sprivanto] all those years ago... still selling the same sweet nuts after all this time.
