A long line of servants followed behind her, clutching treasures.
Her entourage was so grand that the entire street was staring at her.
“This is so satisfying, meow!”
She laughed wildly inside.
Using Lucia’s influence, spending the money of her subordinate Grand Duke, and buying items from her own treasury—wasn’t this the ultimate way to get things for free? She glanced back at the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.
Cassius’s deathly pale face was still etched in her mind.
That’s what you get for calling me a “little thing” earlier! Now you know how powerful I am!
“Miss,” Lilith’s voice came from the side.
“Do these items need to be sent back to the Evernight Palace now?”
“No need, meow!” Lilia waved her hand.
“Find a place to store them first.
I haven’t shopped enough yet, meow!” Since she had finally managed to get out, how could she go back so soon?
“Understood.”
Lilith nodded and gave a few instructions to the old butler.
The old butler immediately arranged for people to carefully transport the pile of heavenly treasures to the chamber’s top-tier warehouse.
“Sister Lilith, where should we go next, meow?” Lilia tugged on Lilith’s sleeve.
“Are there any other fun places in Asla, meow?”
Lilith looked at her excited expression, a hint of helplessness flashing in her purple eyes.
Once this young lady went wild, no one could stop her.
“Miss, if you wish to continue shopping, there are many specialty shops on Nightless Rose Street.
For example, the ‘House of Golems’ sells various alchemical golems.
There is also ‘Dreamweaver Apparel,’ the empire’s top magical fashion boutique.”
“A fashion shop, meow?”
Lilia’s eyes lit up.
She looked down at the Gothic dress she was wearing.
Although it was ornate, it was all part of Lucia’s perverted taste.
She had wanted to change out of it for a long time! “Let’s go! Let’s go there, meow!” Lilia pulled Lilith and headed straight for “Dreamweaver Apparel.”
—
The storefront of “Dreamweaver Apparel” was not as grand as the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, but it was more exquisite.
At the entrance was a shimmering crystal curtain wall.
Inside the shop, garments radiating magical halos hung on display.
Having seen the “previous example” at the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, the manager of this shop immediately treated Lilia like an ancestor the moment he saw her.
“Miss Lilia, is there anything in particular you would like to see?
We have just received a batch of gauze dresses woven from the wings of Moonlight Butterflies, as well as gowns sewn with Lava Spider silk…”
“No need for an introduction, meow.”
Lilia interrupted him, once again making a grand gesture with her hand.
“Wrap up every single piece of clothing in this shop that fits my size, meow!”
The manager’s breath hitched before his face erupted in wild joy.
“Yes! Miss! I will pack them for you immediately!”
Half an hour later, Lilia walked out of “Dreamweaver Apparel.”
Behind her was yet another team carrying ornate clothing trunks.
Throughout the afternoon, she was like a queen inspecting her territory, rampaging across Nightless Rose Street.
She bought a hundred useless but cute rabbit golems from the “House of Golems.”
At the “Sweet Illusion” pastry shop, she reserved all new cakes for the next hundred years.
She even visited a pet shop and bought herself an Abyss Fluffball Beast that looked like a ball of soot and could only make “cooing” sounds.
As the sun began to dip into the west, the entourage following Lilia had become so spectacular that it was enough to block half the street.
The amount of money she had spent today was enough to bankrupt ten Grand Duke Cassiuses.
However, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of heartache.
After all, she was spending Lucia’s money!
“That’s about enough, meow.”
Lilia let out a yawn, feeling tired.
“Sister Lilith, let’s go ba—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Lilith stopped in her tracks and listened intently for a moment.
Then, she turned around and bowed slightly to Lilia.
“Miss, Her Majesty has sent an order.”
Lilia’s heart skipped a beat.
Had that pervert… realized she was squandering too much money and was coming to drag her back?
“W-What did she say, meow?”
“Her Majesty said…”
Lilith’s tone was steady, but her words left Lilia stunned.
“She is very satisfied with your ‘performance’ today. As a reward, she invites you to a certain place tonight.”
A reward?
Lilia’s guard went up immediately.
This pervert’s “rewards” were never anything good.
The last “reward” had been making her wear a maid outfit and feed Lucia while kneeling.
The time before that, she had to wear a collar with a bell and play hide-and-seek in a lightning maze.
What kind of trick was she playing this time?
“Where are we going, meow?”
“‘Starfall Court,'” Lilith replied.
“Asla’s largest auction house. Her Majesty says there is a ‘new toy’ there tonight that you will be very interested in.”
An auction house?
Plots from various novels and movies instantly surged into Lilia’s mind.
At a high-profile auction, she would engage in a bidding war with some reckless fool, finally using money to slap their face until it was swollen! This kind of plot… was much more exciting than simply buying out a whole shop!
Furthermore—Lilia looked down at the Black Ring on her finger.
Unlimited credit.
She could spend as she pleased throughout the entire empire.
The rare treasures at an auction would surely be much more expensive than the things in these street shops, right?
If she bid like a maniac at the auction and bought all those sky-high treasures… would Lucia’s treasury be able to hold out?
“I’ll go! I must go, meow!” Lilia’s fatigue vanished instantly.
She could already imagine herself sitting in the most luxurious private box, legs crossed, barking orders at the people below.
Walking out of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, Lilia had a spring in her step.
A long line of servants followed behind her, clutching treasures.
Her entourage was so grand that the entire street was staring at her.
“This is so satisfying, meow!”
She laughed wildly inside.
