"Don't think about the past...I'm blessed to have this spoiled girl as my wife." Rio said, kissing her forehead.
They stayed in a warm hug as Lia was emotional remembering their journey and how they became so close.
After some time passed, she separated herself from him, giving him a soft kiss on the face before climbing down the bed.
She went to her bedroom to freshen up as it was already late and everyone had woken up before her.
Fifteen minutes later, she came with Nyla and Helia and they all entered the bedroom.
"They are planning to go shopping outside the castle. Do you wanna join?" Lia said, her voice was serene as she looked at her loving husband.
"I thought I can not go without those etiquette lessons but if Nyla is going then there shouldn't be an issue. I can come." Rio said in a composed manner and gave his agreement.
"That's better. Lia was saying she wouldn't join if you didn't come. I really don't understand why my sister wouldn't want to join us to shop for someone like you." Helia sighed in a complaining tone as she was upset that the white-haired beauty wouldn't join them if Rio didn't come.
"Only an expert knows the value of a gem...My wife is the asura empress...If she is doing something then it must be for some great reason..." Rio said and declared him a precious treasure.
"Shameless..." Helia shook her head as this annoying fellow was bragging about his wife for the second time in front of her.
"If Husband and Nyla are coming outside the castle, they both need to disguise themself even if we are going to the private Jaded Bird cloth shop. " The white-haired beauty said, her voice was filled with concern.
"I can use my Blonde haired disguise since I can't take the Asura Empress's Husband form yet before you officially introduce me." the boy answered, reducing her worry.
"And What get up should I choose to go for our outing?" Nyla asked in puzzlement as she looked at her two new sisters for an answer.
"Change your hair color and you can use a veil like us then you will be fine..." Helia suggested her, the rowdy expression on her face was brighten when she talked to Nyla and Lia.
"Okay." She closed her eyes and cast [Ancient Disguise], a white fog enveloped her head and vanished, making her hair color black.
"Black also looks good on you." Lia praised her with a gentle smile.
"Thank you, Big Sis. I think I'm half prepared now." Nyla said with a lively expression.
"That's better. We will go at the noon, you should come with me and choose a dress you want." The lioness told them about the timing and offered Nyla a helping hand for her last concern.
"Okay..." Nyla and Helia walked out of the bedroom.
As the morning passed, The three beauties and Rio had their breakfast together happily as Nyla also joined them.
In the afternoon three beauties and a handsome boy were standing near the castle's gate as they were all prepared.
A middle-aged man with brown hair was standing near the carriage who was their coachman. He had a small mustache and long hair.
There were two horse-like creatures tied to the carriage to pull it. The beast had yellow fur and blue stripes on its body.
Lia and company stepped into the royal carriage as they were ready to go on their first outing together in the Shamor Empire.
Rio noticed the royal carriage was ornately decorated, with gold-silver trim and plush velvet seats for the passengers.
The coachman started the carriage as Helia commanded him to hurry.
Rio and three beauties settled in comfortably as the carriage set off, the sound of the beasts' hooves clattering against the cobblestone streets.
Nyla was excited as this was a whole new place than earth where she would be shopping.
The royal carriage made its way through the city road, it passed by streets lined with shops and vendors.
"Whoa!!!" The magenta-haired beauty was peeking outside through the windows that had curtains to slide away.
The aroma of fresh baked bread and roasting meats filled the air.
She could see merchants haggling with customers over prices, children asking their parents to buy stuff near the vendors, and some folk singers entertaining the crowds.
The carriage stopped near a two-story building, with a board 'The Jaded Bird cloth shop.'
"We reached our destination," Helia said as she informed the duo who had come for the first time.
Lia and company came out from the carriage and made their way into the cloth shop.
Nyla's eyes were gleaming with excitement as she was eagerly waiting to come here since morning.
There were many clothes arranged in the shop with doll-like statues wearing them.
There weren't any people inside the Jaded Bird cloth shop as Helia had already asked to send them notice to keep it empty as the royal family was coming.
A middle-aged lady in the shop was present who came to greet Lia and Helia when she saw them and bowed in respect.
"It's pleasure to see you, your highness and princess. Please come this way to the VIP room." Her voice was polite as she led them to the second floor of the building where they had special facilities for them.
As they entered the room, Rio noticed the luxurious decoration.
It had comfortable couches set in places with a rectangular white table topped with delicious food and juices. Colorful paintings of nature were decorated on the walls.
The room was already arranged with extravagant designer clothes for the special customers as they knew Empress is coming to buy clothes.
"Let's try them," Helia said to the magenta-haired beauty who was looking at the beautiful dresses in the room with enamored eyes.
