"So you dare to make a bet on it?"
The knights came forward to hold hazel when she raised a brow but there was no panic on her face. In fact, she was standing there lazily, there was no panic of tension on her face that even made Elizabeth confused. Why was the girl so assured!
She looked back at the staff with narrowed eyes. Could it be that they were really selling imitated dresses!
And the most important thing that she did not even spare another glance at Elizabeth and looked at the staff who had asked her to leave first.
"I was looking at the texture of the dress all this time. It was as I said, it is imitated and not a real one.`` Hazel replied as if she did not hear the laughter of the royal princess or had seen her ugly face.
This was like a bucket of cold water was thrown on the face of Elizabeth. Her whole face turned red. This was the first time that a lowly noble had been humiliated like this in public. The way she was neglected and treated, if she would not teach the girl a lesson then where would she show her face!
Her face turned ugly and twisted as she forgot about Hazel and started staring at the clothes. She even went closer and touched the dress Hazel was talking about but she didn't feel anything was a miss.
The cloth was soft like a feather to touch and had that warm feeling for which it was famous for. Since the cloth did not belong to their empire, she could not be so sure but she had brought a dress of this silk from Alienore empire in the past too and the dress had brought her a lot of glory.
It felt the same! And the name of this boutique was so profound that the owner would sell imitated products here that could affect their image of so many years.
She looked at the staff with cold eyes who shook their head,
"We do not have any idea what the lady is talking about. The dresses are made by designers. We are only here to show them to the customers. We did not know anything else.'' Both ladies trembled but shook their heads and bowed so deeply to avoid getting entangled in this mess.
Though they did not dare to go against the royal princess. They did not dare to irk the man too. He was like a lazing beast, if he would get furious he would not think twice before killing all of them and annihilating.
They wondered why they were even here! Elizabeth snorted as she looked at the fearful faces of the staff. She couldn't believe that they did not trust their shop even when they were working there for so long.l
But if she could not be sure if the dress was a real one or an imitation, how could a commoner who had never studied about dress and had not seen one in reality knew better than her?
She was only trying to stick to the point that the dress was imitation to go against her. She must be trying to take revenge for the words she had spoken when she had entered and trying to show that she was worth getting entertained here!
Her face filled with disdain as she thought so and looked at Hazel with disdain who was trying to climb up by making her a stepping stone.
"you!!, if you are ashamed to accept that you didn't have any knowledge about the dress. Then I understood. But it does not mean that you lie and try to prove the other person wrong!
This dress is definitely a real one! So, do not be petty and accept defeat or else it will give you more troubles in the future!" She sounded like a strict elder who was trying to show the right path to her junior.
But in reality, she wanted all of them to see the real face of the girl! How she was lying with a blank face and trying to act superior.
But when she ended her stern lecture all of them looked at her strangely as if she was a fool and then looked at Hazel as if they were going to have trust in her, which she could not accept!
On the other hand, Hazel did not say a word as she only chuckled and shook her head. Her expressions were like a parent who did not want to argue with a small kid, knowing that it would only waste their time and efforts.
The girl was clearly looking down on her! There was no way that Elizabeth would accept it.
"Why are we even wasting our time in arguments? I have already offered you, if you think that you are right, then let us have a bet and ask the owner who is right or wrong!" challenged Hazel in a calm voice once again but Elizabeth snorted.
This was only her act to scare her, she would not fall into her trap! So, she mimicked the same confidence that Hazel had and looked at her with a smirk as she offered in a challenging voice,
"Sure, I accept your challenge little girl. But then you have to prove that the dress is an imitation but not a real one with facts. The words of the owner did not matter!" she crossed her hands in front of her chest and hazel nodded.
"Alright, I will prove that in a few minutes. But then what will the winner get?" there was still no fear in her eyes and Elizabeth for a second felt impressed by her act. If there would have been anyone else they would have believed in the girl rather than her with that confidence.
"Anything you want. I swear on the name of my family that I will grant you a wish!"
