Chapter 66: New Changes

Chapter 66: New Changes

The first rays of dawn had barely started piercing through the clouds when the carriage reached the establishment.

The guards immediately opened the gates seeing the carriage, and the carriage walked inside, through the pink mist, and stopped immediately as we crossed the mist, as I had told the driver minute ago.

I stepped out of the carriage and saw the mansion in all its glory, and it looked beautiful and big.

It had become three times bigger and wider, with pastel pink and white painting which made looked so enchanting that I got enamored by it.

It looked much better than the old color.

I love it and would continue with the color scheme, even after future changes; it might even be a signature of the establishment.

Many things have changed; the first one would notice that there is no fountain anymore; instead, there is a statue of a beautiful woman with classic imperial features gazing ahead with longing eyes.

I had to remove the fountain because it did not suit the new mansion and looked pale in front of it.

I wanted to replace it with another fountain, but when Valentina showed me the statue on a tour of her warehouses, I had instantly changed my mind and asked for it.

I looked at it for a moment before walking toward it with the paved road, which had been widened twice its original size.

More carriages could now come in and park without creating traffic.

Soon, I reached the statue, more than three times taller than me, with its stand; I admired it for a few seconds before walking ahead, reaching the white and pink steps of the mansion, before stopping in front of its white door with beautiful spirit carvings.

It is elvish and completely custom-made by the level 30+ artisan; it cost me a lot, but seeing beautiful carvings of spirits dancing, was worth it.

I admired it before pushing it open, and the view of the hall had appeared in front of me; seeing it, a big smile lit up on my face.

I saw a huge hall, bathing in the beautiful lights with a huge crystalline chandelier. A light from which would fall on pink and white walls with a lining of gold, making them look more beautiful.

The aesthetic is different from this world, but it looks amazing.

On the right side of the hall, there is a dedicated white stage, which is big enough for large and small performances.

Directly in front of me was a bar, which had become even longer and bigger, with thousands of wine bottles; the centerpieces cost hundreds of thousands of crowns per bottle.

This is the price at which I had brought them from Namdar, and here; I will sell them at a much greater price.

The hall is big, but it is filled with beautiful tables and chairs, like all things in the hall; the furniture, too, is new, and they adjust beautifully with the hall, increasing its beauty of it.

“When you chose the colors, I had felt they would be bad, but they looked surprisingly beautiful, unlike I have seen before,” said Valentina as she walked toward me.

She had been here since the last night; there were a few things that needed her help.

“Do you think it will be liked?” I asked her, “Definitely,” she said with confidence, and that brought a smile to my face.

I walked through the hall with Valentina, feeling that strange feeling I had been getting from the mansion since the day I had returned from the Namdar.

It is slowly getting stronger.

I don’t know what it is, nor have I discussed it with anyone, not even with Carla. I feel like it is imagination from my mind; if not, then others might also have sensed it.

I did not think about it further and continued to admire the hall, looking for any flaws, as I could still be able to fix them since I had today and tomorrow before the establishment opened, but I did not see any.

I was looking at the hall when I saw Eudo and Elese entering the hall from the other side and behind Dan and two guards.

“Has the studio been set up?” I asked Eudo, “Yes, the studio is ready,” he replied, and I smiled.

He, along with Elese, had been here since last night, setting up the studio. It was huge work since there were over a hundred dresses and a large number of accessories like shoes, not to mention expensive jewelry.

It is why I had hired the guards.

In the next two hours, I looked through every part of the mansion, and the more I looked, the more impressed I became.

This time, I had spent a lot, fifty-two million on building alone, eight of which I had yet to pay to Valentina; I will have two weeks to pay for that.

If I calculate everything, then everything had cost me eighty-one million, and some change, which is double what I had planned to spend one and a half months ago.

I wouldn’t have been able to do all that if not for that forty million crowns from a share of lich’s loot.

It is far less than I deserve, but I am happy; it helped me at the right time.

The manor had changed fully; it had an extra floor, expanded from all sides, but the biggest expansion had happened underground. I had not only expanded further but created another floor below.

Last time, I was not able to provide many amenities to girls and felt like I was caging them in the basement with little freedom, but now the basement has transformed fully with many amenities.

Finally, after looking through everything, I reached a new office which is now on a floor higher.

This new office is bigger than my old office, and everything is new and amazing.

The table is like the door, carved from a level 30+ artisan from the empire, grand but with a simple design.

The chairs, like the table, are also white and very comfortable to sit on.

The tables and chairs in Carla’s office are made by the same artisan, but it is a different design that she chose. Her office is beside mine; only a glass wall separates us, but there is a glass door connecting both offices.

The best thing about the new office is the window, it is big and gives the full look of the entrance. I had moved and removed some trees, and now, I got a complete view from the entrance to the statue.

Unfortunately couldn’t be opened for fear of the rogue; I wanted it that way. If they want to come inside, they will have to break the window, which is stronger than the wall itself.

“Jill sent a message to Carla to bring girls directly here,” I said to the young girl.

She is good, quiet as a mouse, without any presence that one might forget she is there. She is also quite good at her job.

“Yes, master silver,” she said and walked out of the office while I sat comfortably on my chair, thinking about the reactions; the girls will have a changed mansion.

....

Margaux

“I am glad we are going back directly to the establishment rather than the temporary resident,” said Ina as the carriage rolled out of the crystal spa’s estate.

I did not say anything and just looked out of the window; so much had changed in these seven and half days they had been in the spa; the change that had occurred in them was shocking.

Looking at my skin, which was glowing with a vibrancy like never before, that I get enchanted every time I look at myself in the mirror.

Everyone had changed in this past week, especially me, not only physically but also magically, with the unlocking of the mana attribute.

I had not told anyone about it, and I don’t know if I would.

Time passed in silence before the carriage had reached the establishment, and its gates opened, which were bigger with a more elaborate design than the old ones.

The carriage entered through the gate and passed through the mist before stopping a few seconds later.

Ina was first to get out before Carla, Lola, and Della stepped out of the carriage.

When I got out at last, I saw all three of them looking at the manor with their eyes wide, even Carla, who had already known about it.

When I looked at it, I also froze away for a couple of seconds.

The beauty of it had shocked me as I stared at it, but I controlled my emotions and turned back toward the carriages coming from behind and girls stepping out of them and having the same expression that I had a second ago.

I looked at each girl carefully, checked their names with the diary in my hand, and was relieved that everyone was present.

The girls are getting approached by the poachers left and right; some of them have even sneaked inside the spa.

“Let's go inside,” I said and led them toward the mansion.

Gasp Gasp Gasp

She stepped through the doors, and a second later, she began to hear multiple gasps behind; in their shock, they stopped, blocking the way for the girls behind them.

If I did not have the responsibility, I would have also let myself be swept into the shock.

“Girls don’t block each other’s way,” I said and brought the girls inside.

“Careful, don’t damage anything,” she warned as everything looked so delicate, she feared, they might break it. She is not the only one; the girls, too, are feeling the same as they carefully look at things inside the hall.

“It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” said Della, and I couldn’t help but nod.

It is really beautiful.

“Let’s check out the studio first,” said Carla a minute later, and she seemed strangely excited about it.

Seeing that, she followed Carla with a few other girls.

Soon she reached there and stopped before entering as Eudo was standing in front of the loosely closed door.

“No touching,” he said, simply pressing his hand's back, opened the door, and immediately stepped inside before stopping too suddenly, making the girls behind a crash on her lightly.

She quickly moved ahead and let the girls, who too stopped and had loud gasps coming out of their mouths.

The makeup room they had before now seemed like a clay hut compared to the studio right now.

Carla had told her Master Silver had brought amazing things from Namdar, and she imagined those things, but even in her wildest imagination, she had not expected what she was seeing right now.

The racks were filled with custom dresses with their names, and hundreds of shining shoes were placed on the revolving racks, along with belts, scarves, and other accessories of every size and design.

The one that attracted the most was in the center; it is a cylindrical rack made of crystal, and inside it is shining jewelry.

From necklaces to bands to chokers and earrings, there are some she couldn’t even name.

“Are these things for us?” asked Doll in shock. “Technically, it all belongs to the establishment, but yes, you will be wearing these things,” said Eudo from behind, and I didn’t even glare at him this time for his stickler ways.

I stayed in the studio for more than ten minutes before I walked out of it; I wouldn’t have done it if Carla hadn’t pulled me out.

After looking at the studio, I walked the stairs with Carla to check out the rooms where the girls would do the business.

“Don’t you think the common rooms are too little?” she asked Carla; like most things, they, too, have shocked me. Even the common rooms are much better than rooms from before, and there are three types of room above it.

The establishment has four types of rooms, Common, Crystal, Ruby, and Diamond.

The common and crystals are the same size rooms, but crystal rooms have much better interiors. The Ruby rooms are bigger than the crystal rooms, with an even better interior and outside view.

The final diamond rooms looked like they belonged to some nobles; she nearly fainted looking at them.

There are only nine of them.

“Remus is always right about these things,” said Carla as they began to climb down.

Only 20% of all rooms are common rooms, 30% are crystal rooms, a little over 40% are Ruby, and nine are diamond rooms.

It all seemed the opposite to me; the cheapest should be the most in number, and since the common rooms are free, they should be the most as people wouldn’t want to pay for a room when they are having it free.

As for what master silver is charging for the other three types of rooms, she did not know, and Carla said master silver hadn’t decided on that yet.

...

They had just reached the first floor when a young blue-haired girl came running toward them excitedly.

“Sister Carla, Sister Margaux, you should see our residence; it is like a dream,” said Vana, nearly shouting in excitement.

“Calm down, Vana, you might break something in your excitement,” I said; it seemed to affect the young girl as she took a deep breath to calm herself.

She is Vana, a girl who turned eighteen a few days before she came here with Della and others. Master silver had offered her time to decide whether she wanted to join the business, but she refused.

She wanted to work, and not that I could blame given the allure of huge earnings.

They left the girl to check out other things and walked inside through the door of the basement, and a few seconds later, what she saw had widened my eyes yet again.

Before, there used to be a common hall at the base of the steps, but now there is not; instead, there is an open space and stairs that lead to the floor below.

In front of me were two hallways, both of which had a beautiful plate with residence written on it, and in the center of both hallways was a big hall with ‘Common Hall’ written on the big place in beautiful letters.

They walked toward the common hall before pushing open its door and saw a hall filled with chairs and couches of different styles; all of them looked comfortable that could sit and chat for a long time.

It is big enough that more than fifty people could easily sit there, but no one is sitting there.

They did not stay there for more than a minute before walking toward the left hallway, where both sides had rooms, and each room with have a small plate with names beautifully written on it.

The first room had Lola and Della written on it; in her old brothel, she had shared a room with both of them, especially Della, who she will always be grateful for helping out with Ellie in those difficult times.

The room was not big, but it was not small either; it had beds on both sides, tables by them to work on, and cupboards to keep their clothes and things.

Both beds and cupboards are bigger than their last rooms had and looked more comfortable and species.

There is also a separation curtain in between for privacy.

They looked for a few seconds before walking away, looking at nameplates in each room till they reached the end, where there was a single door against the wall that had my name on it and madam written below it.

Click!

“Open it,” said Carla seeing me nervously staring at the door.

I took a deep breath and opened the door, and walked inside what was supposed to be a living room. It was slightly bigger than girls' rooms which beautiful sofas and tables in the middle.

Eight to ten people could easily sit in it.

The living room had two doors, one was at the end of the room, and one was at the left. I walked toward the one that was at the end and opened the door, and it turned out of the bedroom, with a bathroom attached to it.

I looked at the room carefully, taking every detail without saying a word; after taking a look at it, I returned to the living room and opened the door at the left, and what I saw made tears drip from her eyes.

“You deserve it,” said Carla as she placed her hands on my shoulder.

It is an office, a small one with a beautiful blue desk and four chairs, one for her and three for the guests.

“Try sitting on the chair, Madam Margaux,” said Carla. I hesitated for a moment before walking toward the chair behind the table and sitting on it slowly.

The comfortable chair pressed against me as I sat; it was comfortable without a doubt, but I liked the feeling of the responsibility that this office was giving me.

In my life, I had never thought I would reach such a position of responsibility and get my own office.

They stayed in the office for nearly ten minutes before walking out; I didn’t want to, but there were things to look at.

I will have time to enjoy the office; it is mine, after all.

Soon, they were in front of the common hall and went to the right hallway; the right hallway also seemed to have fifty rooms, capable of housing hundred people, just like the left hallway.

“It seemed like we won’t have to worry about space, even if another hundred girls come,” I said to which Carla nodded.

“Remus planned to do that after the new girls get acquainted with the work,” she replied.

I could see how she took his name directly; I don’t know if the deed happened yet, she had asked Carla many times indirectly, but she remained mum.

“It is a wise decision; the system of Master Remus is a little hard to get one’s head around it,” I said and really hoped master silver would wait before bringing the new girls.

Not only because it is wise but also because the pressure on me will increase, and I want to learn to handle these girls first before the new ones appear.

I pushed those and walked walk ahead before stopping as I looked at the door with only a single nameplate.

“Those above level 20+ will have a personal room,” said Carla seeing my surprise. The first one belongs to Ina; that girl, despite being more than a decade younger than her, is on the same level as her.

Including her and Carla, there are six people above level 20, and all of them have their rooms.

It will make one or two who are hiding their level reveal it.

Personal space is a luxury these girls never had and want zealously, and it will happen in a few hours. I am quite excited, as I have my guesses about who has reached level 20, but it has not been revealed yet.

“In a few months, a lot of these rooms are going to get filled,” I said, to which Carla smiled brightly.

It did not need to be said how fast they were leveling up since coming here. I myself had leveled up three times in these past three months. It is not just her but all the girls, and few months we will level up further.

Many girls close to level 20 will reach it, and if they reveal their level, they will get a private room.

At the end of the hallway, there is a suit; when they open it, they find it is exactly the same as hers, but with different furniture.

“The girls are going to fight to nails for this place,” said Carla, and she couldn’t help smiling.

It is true, but she does not know what one will have to achieve to get it, and even Carla isn’t willing to explain.

They went back toward the common hall and began to climb down; that is the place where they heard the most sounds, and it was loud.

The floor is nearly empty despite having amazing new rooms, so there must be something down below to keep them there and hear such excited sounds.

“My god!”

I said as I came down, it was not just me, but even Carla looked shocked by what she saw.

“Sister Carla, Sister Margaux, there is a freaking pool in there,” shouted Gloria as she ran while removing the buttons of her shirt.

They followed the teen and soon reached the pool, where she saw it was filled with girls and that there was barely any space in it; despite that, Gloria threw away her shirt and pants and jumped into the pool.

She did even take a shower first.

“Your days are not going to be easy,” said Carla with a big smile on her face while she just massaged her head for the headache that came.

It will be hard to control all these girls, as it is not teens playing in the pool, but women like Della are here too. They walked closer to the pool, and some girls quieted down, but they still kept playing.

I looked around the pool, which was big enough that fifty people could easily fit in it; there were chairs around it where one could lie, changing room, and a shower stall for a shower before and after the pool; the rule that nobody seemed to be following.

She looked around for a few minutes before walking out of the pool area without saying anything.

‘Let them enjoy today; from tomorrow, there will be discipline,’ I said.

I will need to create a system where they will be able to use the pool and other things without getting crowded.

After walking out of the pool area, they were to a library, where there were over three thousand books and enough chairs for more than fifty people to sit and read.

There are already people there, and unlike those in the people area, they are following the rules. It is completely silent; aside from the sound of flipping pages, there is no other sound.

I nodded at Ina and Lola reading the books and looked around it before going to the game room and then the art hall, which is divided into different rooms, like the music room, painting, and a few other parts.

There is also a residential area of thirty rooms; it is for young girls below eighteen. They will be living separately from the working girls, which I think is wise.

It will reduce the influence of working girls on them and give them greater freedom to make their own decision.

“It really feels like a dream,” I said after they looked through everything. “It is a reality, my dear friend,” said Carla and hugged her gently.

She could feel that the coming days wouldn’t be easy, but she couldn’t help but feel excited about it.
