Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Novel

Chapter 36 Shopping

On their way to the market, they could see that the atmosphere was not as gloomy as before. People had accepted the reality, but some still couldn't bear the deaths of their loved ones. Therefore occasionally, they could hear people crying and lamenting their losses. While others also wore sad expressions.

Max sighed in his heart. He was secretly glad that his family members, his father and Lilly, didn't get hurt in the beast tide.

He then looked at the Lilly. She was also glancing around. He was not sure what she was thinking.

After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the town market. Half of the shops were closed, and reconstruction was ongoing.

"What do you want to buy, Young master!" Lilly asked.

Max looked at her and rebuked, slightly displeased, "Didn't I tell you to call me by my name? Have you already forgotten?"

Lilly held her head down, seeing his slightly angry expression; she grew nervous and said weakly, "B- But there are people around us. How can I call you so casually?"

Hearing her reply, Max shook his head and said in a stern voice, "It doesn't matter as long as there are not any of my family members, and that is also until you aren't ready to tell them about our relationship. I don't want others to think of you as my servant because you no longer are. You are my lover, got it?"

He didn't have any choice but to be a little strict with her if he wanted her to stop thinking that she wasn't worthy of being his wife/lover. He wanted her to stop behaving like she was just a servant, but it wouldn't be this easy as she had lived almost all of her life like that, and any change in her attitude would take time.

Lilly raised her head to look him into his Sapphire eyes and nodded. She knew what he meant, which is why she couldn't help but fall deeper into his love.

Seeing her looking at him with love-filled eyes, He chuckled lightly and said in a joking tone, "Wait till we go back home, and I'll give you a good treat." He winked and walked towards a clothing shop.

Lilly's beautiful face flushed red after understanding the meaning behind his words. She held her head down in embarrassment and followed him quietly. At this moment, she looked so adorable that if any man saw her, he definitely would be mesmerised by her beauty.

...

They entered a luxurious looking shop that had a good reputation. Of course, Max didn't know this. He randomly chose this one as it looked pretty good.

As Max and Lilly entered and a calm and professional voice reached their ears. "Welcome, valued customers. Please come this way." A middle-aged man came running towards them when he saw them entering the shop. By Luxurious robes of Max and the fact that he had a maid following him, the man understood that the handsome boy in front of him must be from some wealthy family.

Because Max rarely came out of his Palace, no one had seen him. So this was natural that the shopkeeper didn't recognise him. If there were another one of his siblings here instead of him, they would be recognised instantly as the son or daughter of Viscount Garfield. Max didn't bother making his identity known because he had money and could buy anything with it, so it was unnecessary to use his identity.

"Mhm..." Max nodded and followed him inside the shop. The man led them inside a luxurious room and gestured them to sit on chairs as he wore a businessman's smile and asked politely.

"Dear customer, what type of clothing would you like to buy?"

Max was satisfied by the behaviour of the shopkeeper. 'Fortunately, it didn't turn out like in the s where MC would encounter problems no matter where he goes.' He sighed in relief and said, "Please show us some of your best dresses for this lady here." He pointed at Lilly.

The shopkeeper was surprised by this. He didn't expect him to buy the clothes for a maid from one of the most expensive shops in Claymore town. It was not only the shopkeeper who was surprised; Lilly was surprised too, but her surprise quickly turned into happiness, and a lovely smile appeared on her face as she looked at him.

Before, the shopkeeper could not see her as she had her face down. Now that Lilly looked at Max and smiled beautifully, the shopkeeper finally understood why he would do this for her. It must be because this maid was too beautiful, and it might be that he wanted to win her heart.

The shopkeeper nodded and went out to bring some dresses to show them.

He came back with many types of girl clothing hovering behind him. He pointed his finger at the table before them, and slowly all the dresses dropped on it.

"Dear customers, please take a look and see if any of these are to your liking?" The shopkeeper said as he gestured toward the table.

Max carefully observed him as he came with dresses flying behind him and wondered, 'How much control one would need to do something like this.' By now, he was utterly fascinated by the Magic. 'It seems I need to go to the magic academy if I want to improve myself in the way of the magic.'

After hearing him, Max looked at dresses and then looked at Lilly. "You can pick whichever dress you like." He didn't know about women's clothing, so he let her choose.

Lilly naturally didn't know it, and she looked at him for a moment and whispered, "Can you choose for me? I don't know how I would look in these."

Hearing this, Max shook his head and proceeded to pick a few dresses which he thought would look good on her.

"Please pack these for me and tell me how much should I pay?" He told the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was ecstatic to see that he had picked about ten very costly dresses.

"Yes, of course. These ten will cost you 120 gold in total." He said with a smile. He was barely able to control his excitement. After all, he would be getting a very generous share of this money as his commission for selling these.

Max nodded and took out a pouch that had his gold coins stored and paid him.

After that, they roamed around the market to see if there was anything worth buying. Lilly bought a few things, and just when they were going back, Max heard a merchant yelling.

"Young master, how about you check a few of my items. If there's anything you like I'll give you a 50% discount.
