By the time he returned home, he felt psychologically tired, even if his body and mind were brimming with energy. The presentation hadn't been very long, but it drained his energy a lot, simply the subconscious pressure that it put on him with its sheer importance and the importance of the people evaluating it drained him quite a bit.
"Looks like my baby is quite tired," Lashara patted his head gently. "Get some rest. You've been running around doing all sorts of things even though you just came home."
"A lot that I can't ignore has been happening," Rui heaved a sigh. "I also need to go shopping to purchase some good formal suits."
He hadn't forgotten the invitation to the reception being held by the Raemina Foundation. Given that it was much more formal than the meeting that he had just concluded with the Martial Prince, he would need to be much more prepared.
"Take Alice with you, she loves shopping and I'm sure she'll be able to pick some wonderful suits for you," Lashara replied gently.
"Will do, mom," Rui heaved a sigh.
The following days were more relaxed. He and Julian did indeed take Alice with them to go shopping. Rui hadn't worn formal attire for so long that he had lost all fashion sense about what would be suitable and what wouldn't.
He took them all to a premium luxury fashion store in the heart of the Town of Hajin. An experience that was new to both Alice and Julian. Once they realized just who Rui was, the staff of the shop immediately tended to them, taking measurements before narrowing down on style and other minutiae.
That day, both Rui and Julian came close to death.
"Hmmmmm, this is not bad," Alice muttered. "But it doesn't match your hair."
"This is too colorful."
"This is too bland."
