The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"He doesn't want you, but I do."

What kind of sucker is this, or what kind of comment is this?

Philippa was also stunned by Sofia's remarks.

She wanted to use her sincere feelings for Grey to persuade the saintess to give up on her and find another goal, but from Sophia's sad and beautiful eyes, Philippa felt her utmost sincerity.

If Gray rejects her after she confesses her feelings, will she accept Sophia?

Philippa dared not draw any conclusions. She could not simulate her state of mind at that time, and naturally she did not know what choice she would make.

Philippa didn't know how to respond, so she just lowered her head and avoided eye contact, saying, "Thank you...you're a good person..."

Sofia's lips twitched, and she almost lost her composure.

Philippa got friend-zoned by a cute girl, but she probably didn't realize the rejection it carried and was simply expressing her gratitude.

"Okay, no need to be so serious." Sophia regained her usual cheerfulness, hiding the bitterness in her heart: "How about this, let's make a deal. I'll be your wingman and help you pursue that Grey Brandt. If I succeed, I won't bother you anymore. In return, you just need to waive the wedding gift money for me."

If I fail, how about accepting my confession?

Sofia finally understood that she would never be able to win over Philippa without getting past the obstacle named Grey Brandt.

But if Philippa were to get closer to her under the guise of helping her get closer to that Grey Brant, she probably wouldn't be so resistant to her.

Based on this, an agreement was made that Philippa would fully benefit from.

They help her pursue men; if she succeeds, they stop; if she fails, they take over, and all the benefits go to Philippa.

What a humiliating and disgraceful treaty this is!

But that's precisely why Philippa was moved.

It would help her relationship with Grey, which was something she couldn't refuse; even if she failed, there would be someone to support her and offer comfort.

However, this would be too unfair to Sophia, but Sophia herself proposed the agreement.

Sure enough, Philippa couldn't resist this most tempting condition: "Okay, I accept. I won't target him like that anymore, if it really works out..."

Sofia replied, "I will keep my promise and stop bothering you. I will not offend you in any way again. You must keep your promise too."

Philippa knew that Sofia meant that she would accept Sofia's promise after the failure: "Of course, but don't get your hopes up too high. I will definitely send you an invitation before the wedding."

Sofia chuckled. Anyone can make bold statements and set a goal, so she immediately retorted, "I'm afraid someone won't be crying and hiding in my arms for comfort."

Philippa scoffed, "We'll see."

In reality, the agreement Sofia made was not as unequal as it appeared on the surface.

In Sofia's view, the prerequisite for helping Philippa pursue men is to have more interaction with that Gray Brandt.

The adopted son of that impoverished noble family will likely stay in the family territory for a long time. The hero's team will definitely not spend too much time in Bifeng Territory. They will be traveling around to train. The number of times they will meet that Grey Brandt will be very few. Where will they have any opportunity to develop feelings for each other?

If Grey Brant were single, I might be a little afraid of you, but with a fiancée, what do I have to fear from you?

In other words, the advantage is on my side!

Indeed, Philippa would benefit regardless of success or failure, but if she failed, she would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

Sofia was secretly delighted, but on the surface she showed no sign of anything amiss, lest Philippa realize it was bad news.

To prevent Philippa from realizing the problem, Sofia immediately suggested diverting her attention.

"Let's go to a clothing store next. Clothes make the man, so you need to stock up on a few outfits that can charm him, right? I can help you pick some out."

Philippa: !!!

That's right. Could it be that Gray is indifferent to me because I've never paid much attention to my appearance?

Philippa looked at Sofia in surprise, not expecting her to actually give useful advice.

Yes, she'll definitely be recognized as the biggest contributor in the future! (Provided it actually succeeds)

And just like that, Philippa was pulled by Sofia to the front of a clothing store.

The shop's signboard reads "Water Blue Home" in large characters, with a line of smaller characters below.

A woman's wardrobe.

As she approached the door, the glass door suddenly opened to both sides, startling Philippa.

Sophia explained from the side, "This is an automatic door launched by the Grand Chamber of Commerce. It's said to open whenever someone approaches and close automatically when no one is around. Isn't that amazing? I was quite startled when I first saw it."

Amazing……

Philippa couldn't think of any other words to use to praise her.

This automatic door must have a sensor function to open and close automatically. In Philippa's mind, such a high-end thing must need some kind of magic circle to support it, but she did not feel any magical fluctuations.

It must be... hidden by some means. Philippa didn't believe that something so advanced wouldn't involve magic.

"welcome!"

Upon entering the store, the first thing you hear is the welcoming voice of several female staff members.

The store is exquisitely decorated with soft lighting, creating a warm atmosphere. The walls are covered with all kinds of clothing, colorful and dazzling.

On the left is a dazzling array of dresses, ranging from elegant gowns to playful mini skirts, each with its own unique style. Upon closer inspection, one can see that each dress is made of high-quality fabric, adorned with exquisite lace and sequins, showcasing feminine grace and charm.

On the right are various tops and coats, from casual T-shirts to formal suits, catering to different occasions. Hanging on the racks are also some stylish fur coats and down jackets, adding warmth to the cold winter days.

Several display shelves in the center of the store showcase a variety of accessories, such as necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, shimmering with dazzling light. These accessories complement the clothing perfectly, enhancing the overall look.

The fitting rooms are located inside the store, offering privacy and spaciousness. They are equipped with comfortable sofas and full-length mirrors, allowing customers to try on clothes to their heart's content and enjoy the shopping experience.

Philippa was stunned by the store's ambiance and the dazzling array of merchandise hanging there.

Is this a clothing store? It doesn't feel like a palace at all.

A fantastical world is being invaded by modern culture from Earth.

Seeing Philippa's naive and unsophisticated expression, Sofia chuckled.

Who wouldn't be? Most people would be startled the first time they see this scene.

That's why she highly regards the Grand Merchant Guild; these are things that are hundreds or thousands of years ahead of their time, and the impact they have on people from other worlds is unimaginable.

Grand Chamber of Commerce yyds!
