I couldn't help but chuckle at Thurul's teasing. He was definitely showing off the new pen he crafted. But this was also a given. If he did not test his own works to make sure they worked in the first place and then sent them out only for them to not work at all, we would lose any chance of making any profit. Bad merchandise equals loss of trust from the masses, which would be hard to regain. But I was very happy that my design worked.
"How does it feel when writing?" I asked curiously. I have no idea if Thurul had made any design changes at all.

Thurul reached in his pocket and pulled out two similar pen tips, and placed them on the table. I picked up each one and looked at them, and immediately saw the difference. One had a grove to allow the metal ball to rest in, sealing the hole just fine, while the other did not.
"I see. My design only allowed for the ball to be pushed up and down but not fully seal the tip itself. Thurul, thank you for catching that. The grove at the bottom really helps in sealing the ink in." I was truly impressed. It was a tight seal, and he even made a cap to go with the pen to keep it covered just in case. "The spot here, can we add a thin piece that runs down the side so it can clip to someone's pocket?"
"You know I was thinking about that as well. And did actually come up with something, look here." Another pen cap was placed on the table, and I couldn't help but nod my head in approval.
"Then let's go with both. We can add a few extra silver to the price with the pens with clips. We can even make some extra limited edition pens as well. Clips, caps, pen body, and even pen end. We can make those who love to collect things spend a pretty penny to get." My eyes were filled with piles of gold. I couldn't wait to fill up a chest and place it in a dark, secluded spot where no one would be able to….. Ahem…. I am starting to think I have an issue….
With things settled, I worked out the plans to have a few pens sent over to me the next day. I figured it would be good to have a few on hand. On the way back, Adel suddenly clapped her hands together and gave me a bright smile. "I just had an idea! Faith, would you like to attend a tea party with me tomorrow?"
"A tea party? I do not mind, but I do feel bad about leaving Sophie behind. Can she come as well?" I really did not want to leave Sophie alone during this time as she has been kind of clingy and insecure about what was to come.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Of course! I planned to have her come with us in the first place." Adel replied with a smile. She then stuck her head out the window to the driver and asked them to stop off at the best dress store that deals with demi humans.
A few hours later, a still half asleep Sophie was being dragged into a dress store, stripped and wrapped up in measuring tape before she even realized what was going on. "Your Highness, what do you think of this color?"
"Hmmm? A deep purple adorned with stars around the bottom hem. Not bad. Match it with some gloves and a few accessories, and it will be perfect." As I watched Adel pick out fabric for Sophie's dress, I felt a little out of place as I, for one, was not someone who has much knowledge in fashion. It was not that I do not like to look nice, it is just that I never really cared for fancy clothing or trends. If I could have gone to school in sweats in my past life, then I would have just because they were comfortable. But my parents forced me to wear normal clothing. Even now, I tried to wear simple things.
"Faith… why is she…." Sophie was next to me with red cheeks. She had never worn any fancy dresses, not even when the count took her in, she still wore what she brought with her. So to be pampered like this was not something she could ever have dreamed of.
"Because you are friends. She does not wish for you to be picked on by the noble ladies. We are going to a tea party tomorrow and will be surrounded by rich snobby girls who think they are better than anyone else. So tomorrow, stay by my side. If anyone dares to speak rudely to you, do not take it to heart I will deal with it. Take this as training to get used to crowds." Since Sophie would be dealing with many of these snobby rich girls in the academy, it was best for her to get used to it now. Especially when she will not be with Adel and I all the time. We will not be able to protect her the entire time. But as soon as I find out someone picks on her, then I will make sure to deal with them in kind.
Sophie nodded her head, seemingly understanding this fact. One thing about Sophie was she was not dumb by no means, just overly shy and unsure about the people around her. It is actually quite surprising that she warmed up to me so quickly, but this may be because I am also a demi human. But then again, she warmed up to Adle as well. But with how Adel's personality is, it would've only have been a matter of time.
Although I will admit, Adel can be a little over the top when it comes to me. But she is a good girl with a good heart.
