Lords of the Warp Beginning with Violet

"Follow me. Although I don't go to those clothing stores very often, I still come here with my friends occasionally." Dietfleet said after finishing the bread in his hand.

The two followed Dietfleet to a shop that didn't look that big...well, it was a handicraft workshop.

"Are you sure?" Li Sheng looked at him with an expression like "You're not kidding me."

"Of course not. Compared to those so-called dress shops, I think this tailor shop is better. It just happens to be a few days before the party starts?" Dietfleet said, pushing the door open and walking in.

"Mrs. Susanna." Dietfleet looked at the old woman sitting at the sewing machine working at the door, nodded and said hello.

"Ah! It turns out to be Flit. Are you here to order costumes for the banquet?" The old woman came over with a smile after seeing Dietflit.

"No, I brought my friends here this time." After saying that, he turned sideways and motioned for Li Sheng to come forward with Violet.

"Hello, who made the clothes?" the old woman asked with a smile.

"It's a custom-made dress for her." Li Sheng took the girl's hand and motioned for her to come forward.

"Ah! What a cute little girl." The old woman looked at Li Sheng and said, "Can you let her come in with me to measure her body data?"

"Of course it's no problem." Li Sheng said, then let go of the girl's hand and asked her to follow the old woman into the back.

"By the way, here is a rough picture of the dress. You can take a look at it first. You can design different designs in terms of details." As she said this, she handed Li Sheng a brochure.

After the old woman took Violet in, Dietfleet looked at the brochure and said: "The things above are all clothes designed by the old man. The old man never designs the same dress. Many nobles in Leiden Businessmen and businessmen like to come to her to customize clothes.”

"Will there be many people making custom orders like that?" Li Sheng looked up at Dietfleet and asked.

"Tsk, do you think everyone will stay in the hospital for a month like you? Others have already ordered it, so there will be no shortage of time." Dietfleet curled his lips and explained.

"Um... isn't there an injury on your body?" Li Sheng said, lowering his head again and looking at the booklet in his hand.

Li Sheng flipped through the book and asked, "That's right? Why did you rise in rank so quickly?"

"Naval battles are not your army's. We must eliminate the enemy's physical strength. We only need to deal with the enemy's warships. If we fight more downwind battles, we will naturally improve." Dietfleet explained simply.

"You guys, you've had enough. How can war be as simple as you say?" Li Sheng complained.

While the two were chatting, the old woman also measured Violet's figure, and then took the girl outside.

"How's it going? Have you chosen your clothes?" He looked at Li Sheng and asked.

"Well, I've chosen it." Li Sheng pointed to a piece of clothing inside and said, "Just this one."

He was referring to a yellow-reddish dress with a black tulle jacket on top.

"This one? How about widening the sleeves of the dress into pleated ones, and changing the bottom to a slightly looser one?" As she spoke, the old woman picked up the pencil on the table and drew the dress she wanted. .

"Okay." Li Sheng nodded, then looked at the old woman and asked, "How much does this dress cost?"

"It costs 5,000 korols in total." She seemed to be afraid that Li Sheng would find it too expensive and explained: "The whole dress is made of white gauze from Eastern countries, and I only earn 300 korols in production fees. "

"It's okay, it's just that I don't have that much money with me." Li Sheng said and took out two thousand korols from his body.

"Can I pay for the rest when I come to pick up the clothes next time?" Li Sheng asked.

"It's okay. You can pay together next time." The old woman waved her hand.

Shaking his head, Li Sheng paid a deposit of two thousand and left with Violet.

"Do you have anything else?" Dietfleet looked at Li Sheng and asked.

"No, I came out just to take her shopping for clothes. Once the clothes are bought, it's over." Li Sheng said, and then as if something suddenly occurred to him, he looked at Dietfleet.

Looking at Li Sheng's eyes, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"When we go to the banquet in two days, could you please come to this store to pick us up before you go?" Li Sheng said.

"No problem, it just so happens that those guys are going with their female companions, so it doesn't hurt to take you with them," Dietfleet said.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Li Sheng looked at him with a question mark on his face.

"It's nothing. Standing with those guys will make you feel isolated as a couple, but you won't feel like you are with Violet. Do you understand?" Dietfleet said.

Then he added: "After all, even if you are together, others will only treat you as an elder brother with a little sister. After all, normal people will not refine copper like you, even if they can see that she will be very beautiful when she grows up. "

After being left speechless by Dietfleet's words, Li Sheng went shopping for a while, and then took Violet home.

----------

Monday.

Li Sheng opened his eyes from the bed, then turned to look at Violet, who was wearing pajamas and had just gotten up to push herself awake.

"Get up quickly... There is a banquet this afternoon... It's all because Li Sheng had to stay up all night last night..." Violet said with a slight blush.

"I know, I know, I'll get up right now." Li Sheng sat up from the bed.

The quilt slipped off his body, revealing his body with scars and obvious muscle lines.

He took the military uniform he had prepared last night from the stool on the side (for details, please see the one Gilbert wore when not going to the battlefield), and without paying attention to Violet, he just put it on, and saw everything he should see anyway. .

After washing up, Li Sheng took Violet to the tailor shop. Li Sheng was still holding a pair of shoes he bought while visiting the night market last night.

It was because of buying these shoes that the two of them slept until the afternoon.

Before he even arrived at the store, he saw Dietfleet standing there with a dark face looking at him. By the way, he had forgotten about this guy.

"Haha, I'm sorry. I went to bed too late last night to buy things and didn't get up this morning." Li Sheng said with a haha.

After the three of them arrived at the store, the old woman saw Li Sheng coming with Violet, and then took the girl to the fitting room at the back.

She had put her clothes inside in advance so that Violet could change into them as soon as she came over.

When Violet changed her clothes and walked out, both Li Sheng and Dietfleet were a little surprised.

Fortunately for Dietfrit, he was not interested in this kind of little girl. Li Sheng also looked away after looking at her for a while. Although the girl was very beautiful, he could still control himself.

His eyes were attracted to the leather shoes under Violet's feet, then he asked the girl to sit down, took out the lavender high heels from the bag and put them on for her.

"Stand up and walk around, be careful." After fixing the hook on the shoe, Li Sheng said while supporting Violet.

After the girl walked a few steps, Li Sheng looked at the girl and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's a bit unfamiliar...but if you just walk normally, it should be fine." The girl said.

"That's okay." Li Sheng let go of Violet's hand and gave the old woman the remaining money.

"Thank you for the dress."

"It's okay, it's all what I should do, and I'm very happy to see such a beautiful girl wearing the clothes I made." The old woman looked at Violet and said with a smile.

"It's getting late, so we won't disturb you." Dietfleet said after looking at the time on his watch.

"Well, go ahead and take your time on the road." The old woman smiled and waved goodbye. After a few people left, she returned to her tailor shop, and then slowly drew a piece of clothing on the booklet with a pencil.

She loved making clothes all her life and making all kinds of beautiful clothes, but it was a pity that her lover could no longer wear the clothes she made for him.

Sitting in the car, Li Sheng looked at Dietfleet sitting in the passenger seat and asked, "Are you familiar with that old woman?"

Dietfleet shook his head and said: "She is not very familiar, but basically all the famous people in Leiden should know her."

"Huh? Can you tell me in detail?" Li Sheng was a little curious.

"The lover of the father of the current head of the Leidenshaftrich Imperial Army Noble Faction was just because the king wanted to marry his daughter to the general.

As for Mrs. Susanna's status as a civilian, it was naturally impossible for her to be with the General. Of course, even if she was a noble, the General's reputation was too high, so he could only marry a royal woman.

However, the king also acquiesced to the fact that the general had a secret lover, but did not allow her to give birth to the general's child.

It's a pity that the general died in the last war. Otherwise, with the majesty of the general, the aristocratic faction would not be as rotten as it is now. Dietfleet said in a calm tone, and at the same time, one could hear his dissatisfaction with the aristocratic style of the army.

"Aristocratic faction?" Li Sheng was a little curious.

“Actually, there was no such thing as the aristocratic faction and the realist faction at the beginning, there was only the difference between the navy and the army.

However, after the old general died in battle, his son, the newly appointed General Rhine, could not suppress the officers under the general.

So the original army aristocrats split into the real power faction. This faction did not care about their origins and could be promoted as long as they had merit. So General Erwin, who followed the general and rose from the civilian ranks, became the leader of the real power faction.

The aristocratic faction, on the other hand, secretly deals with the big businessmen in various ways, but the good thing is that they will pay part of the military expenditure, which is somewhat useful. "

"Then your family is a powerful one?" Li Sheng asked.

"Almost, but that's my brother. There are no factions in the navy. After the general's death, Admiral Erich Raeder, who opposed him, adjusted the deployment of the navy and strictly prevented the birth of factions." Dietfleet said.

"..." Li Sheng said nothing, but this naval admiral sounded familiar?

Dietfleet glanced at Li Sheng through the rearview mirror and said: "Don't think about it, General Erich Raeder is not dead yet, he is one of the three generals of Leidenshaftrich. .”

"Okay, this guy is quite viable." Li Sheng complained.

Dietfleet didn't say anything. This guy really didn't regard himself as an outsider. He complained about his boss in front of him, a naval colonel. But one thing is that he is indeed quite alive. He seems to be almost a hundred years old now. .
