Chapter 266: Sigrid finally slaps Emmah.

Emmah’s old shop had been transformed thanks to some silver which had been given to her by her grandfather. It was now a pizza shop and as early as eleven in the morning, people were lined up outside, waiting to taste the wonderful smelling delicacy whose aroma was flooding the entire street.

It was not just the smell that had attracted attention, the music and dancing had drawn in a crowd. Emmah had employed a group of six beautiful young women, dressed them up in bright red dresses with antlers on their heads and put them outside her store to dance to vibrant music.

The dresses came up to the women’s ankles and they were dancing modern dance moves, swaying their waists, twirling in a way that was unfamiliar to Eldorian’s.

Some people had come for the beautiful dancing women and others had come for the pizza.

Many were recording, they were quite sure that the short dresses of the dancers could kick off a storm of fury in the empire.

Deanna was one of them, she had been in the carriage, watching from a distance and recording. She had been waiting for an opportunity to ruin Emmah’s grand opening somehow. But at nine months pregnant, swollen, exhausted and hungry Deanne had not been able to resist taking a closer look.

Nothing said she could not taste the pizza and ruin the grand opening at the same time.

The two knights that were guarding her cleared a path for her through the crowd and she arrived at the front where the dancers were. Her arrival coincided with the moment Emmah stepped out of the shop and joined the dancers.

Pre-Fairfax Emmah would have been in a dress as short as the ones the dancers were wearing but she could not risk angering the Fairfax’s so she had chosen to be decent by their standards.

She was in a long dress which had a small tail. The arms were open and she had compensated for that with a pair of long black gloves. She had opted for bunny ears instead of antlers. Around her neck was a silk scarf that was dancing in the air as she moved.

As she danced, the lucky halo glowed, making Emmah look like a professional dancer in the eyes of the crowd instead of the amateur that she was. The crowd was loving it, clapping, humming, nodding, shuffling feet or commenting positively.
