148 Polar Opposites
As soon as the shop owner got the order from the King, she whooshed around her large shop for a few seconds and returned while carrying a pile of clothes in her arms.
She then laid those clothes on the counter, and before showing the clothes to the King and the Queen, she went to grab comfortable chairs for them.
“Please, take a seat, Your Majesties,” the lady politely asked her esteemed guests.
Caspian helped Anastasia to sit down and then he also took his seat by her side.
The shop owner immediately began to show the collection of dresses that she thought would be somewhat appropriate for the monarchs.
First, she displayed a waistcoat and a pair of trousers that were black in color but shimmered in the light. “You may wear these with a plain white shirt.” She glanced at the shirt that Caspian was wearing at the moment and said, “The shirt that you are wearing right now will also look great with these.”
“If you want something a little bit extravagant, then I have one in royal blue color.” She was about to put it aside and show another pair.
However, Caspian stopped her, “I will try the first one. Now show something for the Queen.” He turned his head to look at his wife and then further added with a smile on his face, “Preferably something red.”
The lady gave a nod and then shuffled through the clothes that she had chosen. She found a gown that matched the color that was desired by the King and then pulled it out from the pile.
.....
“How do you like this, Your Majesty,” the lady showed the gown to the King instead of the Queen.
And Caspian replied a bit crudely, “First, show it to the Queen. She is the one who is going to wear it.”
The lady gave a nervous smile and turned to the side to display the gown to the Queen. “Is this to your taste, Your Majesty?” she asked as politely as she could.
Anastasia looked at the long red gown that the lady was displaying by holding it in front of her.
The gown was shimmering when the light fell on it. It looked like it was a tight-fitting gown; it didn’t have any pleats on it and it looked like it didn’t have any other pieces that needed to be worn together.
Anastasia checked the bust and waist. The bodice was beautifully sewn inside the dress. She liked how it had full sleeves but wasn’t really sure about the low neckline of the gown.
“You should give it a try,” Caspian leaned towards her and whispered. He was also looking at the dress, and needless to say, he couldn’t wait to see his wife in that dress.
Anastasia gave a nod to Caspian.
And Caspian asked the store lady, “Will you help her change into this gown?”
“Gladly, Your Majesty,” the store lady said with a smile. She looked at the Queen and then asked while gesturing towards a door that was on the other end of the room, “Please follow me, Your Majesty.”
Anastasia got up and then did as the store owner asked.
After entering another room, the store lady locked the door and then looked at the Queen while slightly narrowing her crystal red eyes.
‘I never thought that I would have to help a damn human to get changed,’ she thought to herself with a slight feeling of hatred towards the Queen for no reason, except for the fact that she was a human.
‘I thought that our King announcing a human as a Queen was a baseless rumor. But it looks like it is true! And what’s more?’ She tightened her grip on the gown that she was holding and thought with a look of anger reflected on her face, ‘It looks like the King has fallen head over heels for this mere human.’
Anastasia carefully took off her shawl and then turned around to look at the owner. She happened to catch a glimpse of that lady’s angry face.
She had already expected to face discrimination from the ‘superior race’ today. She had also expected that a lot of them would be unhappy with her as the Queen of a vampire nation. Thus, that disdainful look didn’t affect Anastasia that much.
So as not to give more reasons to that lady to hate her, Anastasia smiled and spoke in her usual polite voice, “My handmaid would have helped me out, but she isn’t here at the moment. And my husband is being a little impulsive today. I am really sorry to have troubled you.”
The lady was quick enough to realize that she was not keeping her emotions to herself. She was now a bit scared that the Queen would later complain to the King and have her punished for hurting the Queen’s ego.
So she hastily pulled a smile and said while waving her hand, “No, Your Majesty. It’s not a problem, really. It is my honor to be at your service.”
She then immediately went and stood in front of the Queen and began to help her out of the gown that she was wearing at the moment. She wanted to appear like a saint even though she still hated having to wait for a species that she considered being beneath her.
Caspian was waiting right outside the door, impatient to see his wife and also listening in to the conversation that was going on inside so as to make sure that his wife was safe at the hands of that vampire.
After waiting for quite a while, the lady finally opened the door of the changing room.
Caspian’s gaze instantly got stuck on the gorgeous beauty who looked like a freshly plucked rose in that red gown that enhanced her curves. Anastasia looked so beautiful that his eyes widened and his lips slightly parted on their own.
The gown lifted her bosoms, slimmed down her already tiny waist, and gave an illusion that she had broad hips.
The pearl necklace and diamond earrings that she was wearing looked more prominent now.
Caspian didn’t realize that he was holding his breath and was staring at his wife like a fool.
Anyone who saw the King at the moment would be clearly able to tell that he was falling in love with his wife all over again.
“How do I look?” Anastasia shyly looked at Caspian and asked if the gown that she was wearing looked okay.
Caspian finally took a deep breath and replied in a spellbound voice, “You look absolutely stunning!”
He walked inside the changing room, unable to withstand that small distance between him and his wife. He gently held her palms and gazed at her innocent-looking face and then at her exquisite dress.
His wife’s persona and the gown that she was wearing were polar opposites. But at the same time, they both went so well together that he found his wife to be cute, gorgeous, and alluring, all at the same time.
Anastasia was already flustered by the way her husband was gazing at her. So she pointed her brows at the shawl that was sitting on a chair and asked, “Shall I cover myself with it? This gown looks a little-”
“No!” Caspian instantly protested. “You are going to do no such thing. You look perfect.”
“Are you sure?” Anastasia asked in a skeptical voice.
Caspian lifted Anastasia’s hand and bent down to kiss the back of her palm. “I am a hundred percent sure.”
Though a little unsure about her look, Anastasia was happy that her husband liked it. Also, she thought that she was only going to use it for like five or ten minutes. So, she agreed to wear it.
Caspian then gave a bright smile to his wife and asked, “Wait for me to get changed now. It won’t take long. And we shall take a leave from here.”
