?Chapter 298: Chapter 255: Not Talking About Love Chapter 298: Chapter 255: Not Talking About Love Sonia let them fuss over her as she softly said, “Lois, you really went out of your way this time. I don’t even know how to thank you.”

“Hmm?” Lois, while tweezing her eyebrow pencil to help her draw eyebrows, said, “Isn’t it because you knew my family makes War Dresses that you asked for my help?”

“Ah? I didn’t know that.”

“Then you really are something, casually asking a roommate to find War Dresses—wait, did you actually just want me to go to ‘Flower Space’ and rent a War Dress for you?”

Sonia didn’t answer, she just looked at Lois with her innocent and somewhat dry eyes.

Lois sighed, “Turns out I was just making a fuss over nothing…”
“No, you gave me a 120-point surprise,” Sonia smiled. “I truly received your good intentions.”

“Don’t flatter yourself.” Lois held Sonia’s face, dripping eye wash liquid into her eyes: “I just wanted to use your renown to promote our family’s War Dresses—if you can secure a beautiful win tonight, maybe Sword Flower University will choose our family as a supplier. So, if you want to thank me, you know what to do?”

“I do.” Sonia, unaccustomed to using eye wash, quickly shut her eyes, letting the liquid slowly seep in: “Then you better watch me—though you might be disappointed because everyone will be looking at me, and not your family’s War Dress.”

“Humph.” Lois chuckled, “Let’s see if you can still say that later.”

The War Dresses they mentioned were a special kind of attire in the Kingdom of Stars. Since battles between Mages easily damaged clothing, participants in highly watched bouts needed to wear clothes that wouldn’t easily tear, as exposing oneself could be immensely embarrassing—especially as many Mages came from noble families, and losing face was tantamount to social suicide.

In the past, there were numerous cases of ‘Earl Revealing’ and ‘Marquis Buttock’ who committed suicide due to unbearable scandalous rumors.

Thus, more defensive and robust War Dresses had emerged. Initially, War Dresses were merely armor for Noble Mages but, as alchemy and materials science developed, cumbersome steel armors gradually left the historical stage, replaced by resilient fabrics with various Resistances.

Though the fabric still couldn’t withstand a Mage’s attack, at least it wouldn’t tear apart, damage was localized without creating holes that might lead to disrobing.
