《The Tailor: A Short Story》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Jane woke up and her husband was already out of bed. She went down on the kitchen and there was already a pot of water on the flames, the bread was cut, and an apple core on the table. After washing her face, she made a cup of tea and went to the shop. Lucas, already wearing a proper shirt and hair tied, was already drawing his designs on the table. The loom was already prepared behind the shelves.
“You’re early and full of energy,” Jane said as she placed the cup on the table.
“Good morning, darling. I have to. Six dresses are a lot of work, the sooner I finish, the better,” Lucas replied.
“Can’t wait to see and talk to your special client again?”
“Special client?” her husband chuckled, “Darling, she’s a client with deep pockets, that’s what makes her special.”
“Deep pockets, a pretty face, and fancy books just like you.”
“Oh darling, you’re prettier than her. And if I wanted someone with deep pockets then I would’ve married old Madam Victorina from on the next street,” Lucas stood up and held her by the waist. Jane chuckled and bit her lips as she looks back at her husband’s green eyes.
“You’re lucky I can’t get angry at that charming face of yours,” Jane smiled, put her arms on her husband’s shoulders and leaned for a kiss. Lucas sat back to continue his draft and his wife left the shop.

An emerald, navy blue, violet, and yellow dress line up on the racks and on another was a dress with both yellow and green, and another dress with both blue and violet. Jane touched the silk sleeve of the emerald dress that was lined with white fur.
“It’s the same color as your eyes,” she said.

“Do you think I had done better, darling?” Lucas asked.
“Each one you make is a masterpiece, darling.”
“Be honest.”
“I am honest, darling, now I really do envy her.”
“Don’t worry, darling,” Lucas chuckled, “After this job, I’ll make you the most beautiful one that even the Holy Patriarch will fall for you.”
“You should!” Jane replied.
The couple then folded and loaded the product carefully in the cart. Lucas gave his wife a kiss and sat on the front of the cart.
“Be careful, darling. Comeback home immediately and let’s make that dress you promised.”
Lucas pulled on the reins and the horses begun walking. Jane waved and the cart begun to speed up until it joined the busy streets of the town and blended with the traffic.
***
Jane sat behind the desk at the shop there were two cups but only was still full. Cartwheels slowed down at the front of the shop and the door opened.
“Good evening, darling,” Lucas greeted.
“What took you so long? Are you alright?” Jane asked.
“Yes, darling. It’s just…,” her husband scratched his head, “I had to draft another dress for the lady, she was impressed by my work and commissioned another.”
Jane frowned and looked away.
“It’s just one dress, darling, it’ll be over in a week,” Lucas pleaded.
“Alright,” Jane replied coldly, she then took the empty cup and went back to the kitchen. Lucas followed her but stopped at doorway. His eyes followed Jane as she made her way to the large barrel of water to wash the cup. She did not say anything nor looked at him. Lucas sighed and went back to his shop.

Romance - plus Judgemental Powers? Completed
Blue was a red headed boy who desperately wanted a girlfriend. So he asked the class beauty to walk home with him. She very nicely refused him. So he asked another girl in the same class, one with an average rating in the social status ranking. She also refused him. So, still desperate, he thinks – “I’m probably at the bottom of the ranking for boys in this class, so how about I ask the girl who is also at the lowest ranking?” The girl’s name was Pink. She said yes. Gulp. “What do I do now?” was his reaction. Well, obviously, have a romance. And, along the way, they get one hell of a lot more than they bargained for. Like, for example, supernatural Judgemental Powers. How did they get those? And that was only the start. The two most insignificant students in their class become famous. Not just in their class or even in their school, but to the population at large. They end up breaking and making the top politicians and rulers of their country. But finally, of course, they get what they wanted. A committed relationship. This is an Esmeralda the Angel of Death story. It follows on from my previous novel “Maybe it would have been a good idea not to wish for a harem?”, however it is a totally separate story with only a minimal overlap in the characters. There is no need to read the first story to enjoy this one. Although you just might enjoy the first story also… This story has multiple characters and multiple Points of View. Every POV change is clearly marked with a new header. Inside each POV section, the POV character’s thoughts are in italics. This story has about 105,000 words (about 380 RoyalRoad pages). It is fully written and proof read (the poor man’s proof read using Word). It has 25 chapters, and will be published at the rate of roughly one chapter per day.
