“You should be careful around Caesar and Benjamin, Patience,” Princess Margaret suddenly warned while pinning together the pieces marked with the same symbol.
I just stared at her, confused.
“Ugh! You don’t understand your own worth!” the princess grumbled. “Albert is obsessed with your musical talent, and those two will surely become obsessed with your skills in alchemy. You’re the only girl in alchemy club, so you must watch out for yourself.”
Though I had lots of ideas, I didn’t have the skill yet to bring them to life. Princess Margaret didn’t know that, and at the moment, more important than my safety in alchemy club was the fact that she was pinning things out of place!
“Lady Margaret, you must pin the pieces together correctly. Otherwise, the dress won’t come out like the pattern.”
It was difficult to pin things properly, so I could understand why the princess struggled. What I found more concerning was that the princess’s sewing speed seemed incredibly slow. Basting stitches were basically long running stitches, so this should have been a quick process. I really need to make a sewing machine! It won’t need a magic stone, so I can probably sell them through the Burns Trading Company! Wait, the problem there is that I don’t really remember the specifics of the components of a sewing machine. I guess I’ll have to save that idea for later.
My current priorities were building a washing machine, a bicycle, and an ice cream maker. I was personally interested in making a hair iron, as well as magic lamps for Mary and my father. I was also thinking of making some hair irons as gifts for my aunts and my cousin Lucene.
I didn’t know what would make a good gift for Lord Salius, but I wanted to thank him for the sword fighting lessons he gave my brothers. I didn’t even know what life was like for a knight, so I couldn’t begin to imagine what he might need.
I wish I could’ve explored more of the Burns Trading Company store.
