Chapter 609 Embarassing Dilemma

Dragons are a very prideful race.

Their finesse is immaculate, and their standards are extreme. It is practically impossible to impress a Dragon, who has experienced far better from their Empire.

And, even if such an impression is made, it is extremely difficult for them to express it.

But, to every rule there is an exception.

That exception happened in the case of Kat'erin and Shai'ya.

"How may I be of service to you?"

The lady's beautiful smile; particularly her exotic-looking hair and captivating face, caused both girls to tremble slightly. Still, being the more sensible of the two, Kat'erin swiftly regained her composure and spoke up.

"We'd like to lodge in your most exquisite suite." There was no politeness in the way she spoke, as she was speaking to a mere human.

Her eyes were cold, her head was raised high, and her tone was imposing. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

This was a command.

"I see. Well, it costs a Gold Coin per night." The ebony lady said, with her smile still plastered on her face. "That excludes food services and other extra services you may require."

"Gold Coin... huh?"

It was at this point that Kat'erin stared at Shai'ya and realized something quite fundamental.

'We don't have money!'

The Dragon Empire was, and had always been a Socialist State for as long as they could remember; where all economic planning was governed by the higher ups in the position of governmental power.

Dragon Citizens didn't need to pay to get certain public amenities like accommodation or even feeding. All was provided for by the Empire.

"We are esteemed guests who have paid the finest sum of money in gold to you. As much gold to last us for a month, and also to cater for our feeding expenses as well as other kinds of additional expenses."

"I... understand. You have submitted a total of 50 Gold Coins, 30 Silver Coins, and 1 Bronze, to cater for all your needs for a month."

"I-Indeed." Kat'erin didn't really know how currency operated, so she wasn't particularly in a place to do calculations.

She was also stunned by how quickly the receptionist responded to her with the breakdown. It was a lot more convenient for her, and it made her even more pleased with the human for being so competent.

"Understood." Reta began to write down some things in a book, and then generated two cards for the two ladies.

"All preparations are ready. These cards have been credited with the exact amounts that you've deposited within the room. They will serve as your passes to your room, proof of identification, and purchase tender."

"I-I see..."

Kat'erin appreciated that the lady was competent enough to tell her information she did know without her needing to ask. It was clear that she was different from others.

'She could even be useful in... other respects...' The Dragon thought to herself as her eyes narrowed in deep thought.

"May I escort you both to your rooms?" Reta asked with a blank smile on her face, still under the influence of the [Dragon Voice].

Kat'erin glanced at Shai'ya for a second, but the latter threw her hands in the air, clearly clueless on what to do or so.

This wasn't a new thing in their relationship. Ever since the Academy, Shai'ya had always been the lackey, despite having the potential to be so much more.

'In any case... I'll just take control and responsibility for everything, as usual.' Kat'erin finally decided with a slight sigh.

"Take us to our rooms."

"Right away."

Reta left her position behind the counter and began to walk ahead of the two Dragon Girls. 'Tch...' It pissed the both of them off that a human was taking the lead, but they did their best to suppress their annoyance considering she—Reta—was merely doing her job and taking them to their destination.

'Besides, since she's under my power... I'm the one commanding her to do this.'

Using these mental gymnastics, the girls were able to walk silently behind the receptionist without throwing any fuss.
