Aurora put the monocle crafted by the artisan on her face and admired it in the mirror.
The golden frame matched her eye color perfectly, and a thin chain of the same material as the frame was attached to an ear clip.
The material used was a relatively lightweight and durable titanium alloy, so it wouldn't press on the bridge of her nose even if worn for a long time. Furthermore, to prevent potential impacts, the artisan had coated the lens surface with an anti-shock film. This way, even if an accident were to occur, it would absorb the impact force to the greatest extent possible, preventing direct stress on the lens.
The rest would depend on Aurora taking good care of it herself.
Overall, it was well worth the money spent to make these glasses.
Aurora looked at herself in the mirror; she already had a scholarly air, and with the monocle on, she inexplicably gained a touch of sophisticated villainy.
Though, is this really how one 'compliments' oneself?
"Thank you, sir! Your work is perfect; this is exactly what I wanted. Once I return, I will have my father settle the final payment."
Aurora placed the glasses into the matching case, praised the quality of the artisan pony's work, and handed over a check.
"This is a small token of my appreciation; I hope you don't mind."
Because they had applied for a patent, the three sisters had already received a portion of the profits. Once Aster really got the magic fitting mirror industry chain up and running, the money the three of them would receive would only increase.
The artisan accepted the tip with a beaming smile and happily packed up his things, preparing to return to Manhattan.
After seeing off the artisan who made her glasses, Aurora slowly walked back, an uncontrollable smile on her face.
She couldn't wait to show her glasses to the other two ponies, just like sharing newly acquired jewelry or cosmetics with best friends.
However, today, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle had gone to the Library together to read, and even Princess Celestia wasn't around; it seemed she would have to wait until later to show them.
The Grand Princess had gone on a business trip today without telling them where. But she had flown away from the balcony on her own, so it probably wasn't for official business, and judging by the direction she flew, it was highly likely she had gone to Ponyville.
Hmm... Could she be scouting locations? Preparing to send one of them, or all of them, to Ponyville?
That didn't really matter; in Aurora's future plans, Ponyville was also one of the stages in her life.
Besides the reason of visiting a holy site, there was now another one: that mysterious magic book, though later it should be called the 'Wordless Book'.
Celestia had once said the book's pages were made of materials from the Everfree Forest. To get to the truth of these spells, she would definitely have to make a trip to the Everfree Forest herself in the future.
However, the danger of the Everfree Forest was evident to all ponies; if she proactively suggested it, she probably wouldn't be allowed to go.
Thus, she needed Ponyville as a buffer; Ponyville was right next to the Everfree Forest. Besides, she might even be able to ask her senior sister to accompany her; after all, they were both ponies who didn't follow the beaten path.
As for now, it was better to just enjoy life peacefully for the time being. When to do what was all within Aurora's plans, and she enjoyed this slow-paced life; it was very healthy.
Returning to her room in Canterlot Castle, Aurora intended to put her things away and then go to the Library to find the other two ponies.
But a letter that had fallen through the gap in the door caught Aurora's attention.
Frowning in confusion, Aurora immediately opened it to read the contents.
When she saw the handwriting belonging to Sunset Shimmer writing, "I am going to do something special...", Aurora's eyes widened instantly.
