Ophidia & Scarab

Ophidia & Scarab

Egyptians liked to use scarabs as amulets. They believed scarabs possessed the spirits of perseverance, fearlessness, courage, and diligence, and that they had brought light and hope to the world.

In Ancient Egypt, the pharaoh's heart was removed and replaced with a scarab before the pharaoh could be made into a mummy.

Since they had already reached the docks, Pomona took a trip to Murano Island and bought a handmade glass scarab from a local glass shop.

Besides that, she bought quite a few travel souvenirs. Venetian handmade glass was still a state-gift-level present, perfect for giving away.

After buying all that, they went to T Square near the Rialto Bridge and used Gianluca's black card at Gucci's flagship store to buy an Ophidia canvas travel bag.

She pried off the Gucci logo and replaced it with the scarab. Now the appearance of the handbag she would use to "settle" the greenhouse was complete.

Luxury goods were priced more than ten times above their production cost. The purpose of buying them was not practicality, but the "display" of one's status, "praise" for oneself, and a hint of one's own superiority.

She could have used handmade bags made by artists, but she wanted to make Severus happy. He wanted her to spend money, since he could earn it now.
