Chapter 119: CHAPTER 118

Just as Andrew had guessed, Marie and the other members of the black night agreed to join the Heavenly Palace after Oliver spent a lot of time convincing them. Technically two hours wasn't really a long amount of time, but Oliver had been having conversations with this group for a month, in the last two hours he just took the final step, so it was really a long time of conversation.Andrew doesn't really know what Oliver said to convince them, but he didn't bother to ask, because they had accepted and that was all he need to know. Quickly Andrew asked Oliver to explain the plan he had in mind.

When Andrew started this conversation, Oliver had said that he had a plan, but the Heavenly Palace was understaffed, however, adding the members of the black night that problem was solved.

"Young master, the plan is quite simple, we just have to escort the baron's son from the shadows and get rid of any threat to the young nobleman's privacy and for that these guys are perfect," Oliver said without wasting time.

The plan was really simple, in fact, after some thought, Andrew realized that it was pretty much the only plan they could make, so he agreed to stick with it.

After everything was cleared up, Andrew introduced all the members of the Black Night to Carolina, Helena, and Aki. He also introduced the girls as his wives and this surprised Oliver, as he didn't know that Aki had become Andrew's third wife.

Despite the initial surprise, Oliver said nothing. He regained his composure quite quickly and after a quick greeting, left together with the members of the black night to establish a more detailed plan regarding the arrival of Baron Castal's son.

The night passed and although Aki slept with everyone in the same room, there was no fun, because Aki refused to do it, in fact, she did not want to take off her mask even when she went to bed and practically Andrew, Carolina and Helena had to fight her to get it off.

Aki's complex with her face is quite strong, but Andrew and the others wanted her not to worry about it. Well, in a week it won't matter, because the creams Andrew gave her would erase any trace of her scar, so at that time Aki won't hide her face anymore.

The next morning, Andrew and the girls went to the dining room for breakfast as usual, but Andrew had already given the order to make additional food for 10 people.

Hector and the other cooks were a bit surprised by the order, but they still complied with it. Andrew wasn't going to tell the others in the Heavenly Palace about the existence of the new intelligence team because they didn't need to know.

Since Aki was similar to Marie and the others, Andrew asked her to be the one to deliver the food.

The boys of the black night were delighted with the food, after all, Héctor was a great chef and despite the fact that the boys of the black night were earning good money with their jobs, they were not wealthy enough to go to restaurants of high end, where they could find more delicious food than Hector and his team of cooks.

Everyone ate their fill and Marie couldn't help but thank Aki, "Miss Aki, thank you very much for the food". Aki looked at her still wearing her mask and letting out a small laugh answered, "Marie, you don't have to be so rigid with these things, believe me, Andrew won't treat you badly, even if you want something special just ask, if he can get it for sure he will give it to you."

Marie was surprised by Aki's words. Oliver had said something similar to her when he was convincing them, but she was still wary. If it were up to her, she would not have agreed to join the Heavenly Palace, but since Oliver had already been released from slavery, she believed that even if Andrew had bad intentions, Oliver would not let him harm them, so she agreed to join the Heavenly Palace.

After breakfast, Andrew, Carolina, and Helena left for Candice's store to continue training Canna and the models for the fashion show. He would soon complete the week of training and he could say goodbye to this annoying task, not to mention that he could open the Heavenly Palace for business again.

Just like the day before, Oliver sent several guards over to Aki, to watch over Andrew and the girls from the shadows. Everything went smoothly and time quickly passed, reaching the date to finish the training and repair of the business part of the Heavenly Palace.

Andrew and his wives had done a lot of shopping every time they left Candice's store after finishing fashion show training. Carolina and Helena spent large amounts of gold coins buying high-quality decorations and furniture for the reopening of the Heavenly Palace.

With the remodeling of the establishment, the Heavenly Palace would increase its status as a house of pleasure, so they needed to decorate the environment to meet the expectations of the customers, obviously, this would increase the prices as well, but they were not worried, as they were sure that the customers would pay more for better service.

The establishment had already been completed, at least the part that would be open for business since the rest of the place would be remodeled in the following week. Carolina and Helena were currently instructing various guards to accommodate the furniture and decorations they had purchased.

Andrew had stayed on the sidelines, as he was aware that his sense of aesthetics was weak, to say the least, and he wasn't hard-working enough to move furniture either, so he hid in the office.

As the Heavenly Palace prepared for its reopening, Candice was also not idle. Since the training was over, it was time to organize the event.

Wasting no time, she instructed Canna to set up a room in her clothing store, "Canna, organize everything, the event will be in two days." Canna nodded her head and left to organize everything.

While Canna was organizing the event, Candice began handing out the invitations. She sent letters to various baronesses and viscountesses, but the guest of honor had to be invited personally, so Candice left her tent in her luxurious carriage for the nobility area. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Soon she comes to a large villa. At first glance, the property stood out from the rest, as it was a huge piece of land and the construction was majestic. A large and beautiful garden filled with flowers of all colors adorned the property.

Upon her arrival, she was stopped by the guards at the entrance, and after the guards saw her, she was asked, "Madam Candice, what a pleasant surprise. Are you coming to meet the marquis?"

"No, today I come to meet the Marchioness Teresa, would you be so kind as to announce me?" Candice said formally. She had to take care of her manners, although she had a good relationship with the Marquis Donald who was the owner of this mansion, she could not be careless.

The guard nodded and said, "Of course, please wait a moment," then the guard called a colleague and asked him to inform the Marchioness of Candice's arrival.

Even though Candice was known to the mansion guards, they wouldn't let her in until they received permission. The guard quickly ran into the mansion and approached one of the butlers and reported Candice's arrival.

The butler wasted no time in going to the back garden where Marchioness Teresa was having tea. "My lady, Mrs. Candice is visiting and wishes to meet you," the butler said after bowing.

The Marchioness Teresa was a lady of the same age as Candice and just as beautiful. Her elegant dress but not ostentatious, made her look worthy. Upon hearing the butler, she was surprised, because Candice normally came looking for her husband, not her, which made her curious and allowed Candice to enter.

The butler informed the guard that had come to deliver the message that the marquise had accepted the visit, and then the guard ran to the entrance. After the arrival of the guard, Candice's carriage was allowed inside.

Candice's carriage was parked at the entrance of the mansion where the butler who notified Teresa was waiting for her and when she got out of the carriage she was formally greeted, "Welcome to the Mansion of Flowers."

The Mansion of Flowers was the name of this villa that belonged to the Marquisate Valoid. Candice nodded and replied, "Thank you for the warm welcome."

After cordial greetings, the butler led Candice to the backyard where Teresa was waiting for her. The butler accompanied her to a few meters from the small but elegant kiosk where Marchioness Teresa was enjoying her tea.

Candice entered the kiosk and respectfully greeted, "Nice to see you Marquise, I appreciate the opportunity to meet you." Seeing her ceremonious greeting, Teresa chuckled and said playfully, "Come on, Candice, don't be so stiff, you know you can talk to me normally in private."
