City of Desire [Kingdom Building]

Chapter 223: Gates Open

“Open the gates,” Caena ordered right at six with a big smile on her face.
 
“She seemed quite happy saying it,” said Carla. 
 
“It is something only Madam’s could say and since it is her first day, she is excited to say it,” added Margaux with a smile.
 
I didn’t say anything and watched Caena leave the floor after speaking a few words to Stavad.
 
The first floor is different. It is not part of the brothel; it is what I had said to invite the people. It is a very much part of it, not the brothel, but of the establishment.
 
I had invited a lot of people, not because I wanted the patrons. No, I already have them, seeing how the establishment becomes full in less than half an hour.
 
Even with more girls, I wouldn’t have that problem.
 
I have done that because I want to expand my clientele. I want to reach the people who would never step into the brothel and women.
 
Though, that will be a challenge.
 
Some might come with their husband today because I had invited them, but it is hard to say whether they will come on their own.
 
It will be dependent upon the experience they receive. Let’s hope, all the preparations work as they should, and the rest should be handled by the charms.
 
Caena watched till the gates opened before going upstairs. The first floors aren’t for the girls or Madam. It will be under her, but she will not be able to show her face.
 
It is a restaurant; the madam had no place here.
 
It will change. It will take time, months, years, or decades, but it will definitely happen.
 
Opening a restaurant beneath the establishment is a risky move, considering I already sell food and wine.
 
It is still available on the upper floors.
 
There are several reasons why I took such a huge risk, but the biggest one is the promise I had made to myself. I wanted a place that is more than a thing, where people come to vent their lust.
 
I want to create a place where people get to experience, they would never get anywhere, a place where their desire would be fulfilled.
 
I had made huge progress in that vision; seeing only around 30% of patrons, have sex, while others come for good food and company.
 
This time, I took a step further, opening a restaurant at the establishment.
 
Here, I will be able to satiate the desire of the people who do not have any interest in the girls and services they offer.
 
I had needed to be a little forceful with the invitation. So, they would bring their wives and I am not proud of them, but I am not ashamed either.
 
The experience will be thrilling for people, and they love thrill; especially those who are bound by the restrictions of society. They reveal in the slightest bit of freedom they get, the conventions, they break.
 
It is not just the women crave it, but also the men.
 
I had worked hard at the restaurant; conceptualizing the idea until it became what it is today.
 
To give the best experience, I had given Drev complete freedom, and he didn’t disappoint me. I have tested it, and I can confidently say that it is better than anything in the city.
 
It is comparable to or even better than what I had tasted in other cities; the only thing that had better food was the legacy in Navr.
 
Which I wouldn’t be able to compare in my whole life, but I will try my damn hard to do it.
 
The charms are working great; the effect they are creating is amazing. They are tailored to enhance every aspect of the establishment and, from today after a month of break, more charms will be added, creating an even better ambiance here.
 
So, I really hope, the people coming here, some of whom I had forced, would come back on their own next time.
 
Hun!
 
The carriages began to come inside as the door opened and a less than minute later, the first guest came in and it surprised me.
 
“Well, this is surprising,” I said, while Carla and Margaux nodded in dumbfoundedness.
 
I had expected many people to come, but never in my dream. I had expected he would come.
 
It is none other than Damon Hardt. I had invited him yesterday like I had others, but I hadn’t thought he would come.
 
He is expressionless, while his wife is looking at everything with surprise and excitement.
 
Stavad welcomed him and Edina. The maître de took him inside and seated him at the best table. 
 
The other guests came after him. Some had surprised me, like Vice-Guildmaster Soren, who had also come with his wife.
 
He is not only from the vice-Guild-master who came. A few seconds after that came Locke with his wife.
 
Minutes passed; carriages kept coming through the gates of the establishment. Though not all of them had entered the restaurant, more than half of them took the entrance above.
 
There are three entrances throughout the establishment. 
 
One is direct, it is on the left side of the fountain, while the main entrance to the restaurant is on the right. The second one is through the underground parking, and the final one is through the restaurant itself.
 
It is hidden on the way to the bathroom, but some people found it within minutes and went above.
 
At the twenty-seventh minute, the gates of the establishment closed. The restaurant is filled, including the stools by the bar and the private cabins, which have been occupied by the groups.
 
The same is true for the three floors above; I hadn’t gone up yet, but if that wasn’t the case, Caena wouldn’t have closed the gates.
 
It is quite surprising; that the establishment filled so quickly. The restaurant has one hundred and forty-two tables, excluding the nine private cabins and space on the three bars.
 
There are also more girls, two hundred and nine, on the three floors above. There is a total of two hundred and seventy-one of them, that will work, but not all at the same time.
 
From today, the establishment changed to night brother today/night brothels. I had wanted it from the beginning and now, nearly a year later; I have got it.
 
I am glad I didn’t rush into it. The timing now feels perfect.
 
“It seemed to be working well,” said Carla, and I couldn’t help, but nod. 
 
It was working beyond well; I could see people eating and drinking and this time, there were no girls, but friends, family, and colleagues.
 
Smiles on their faces are really big and nearly everyone, especially women, would glance up, now and then, with a thrill and excitement in their eyes.
 
Seeing that, a big smile appeared on my face.
 
It is for this reason; that I had created this place. So, they could experience these emotions. Even if they never come back, the memories of this place will always remain in their heart.
 
I looked for a few more minutes before walking out of the secret viewing soon, which was now even bigger.
 
It had enough space that five people could sit easily in it.
 
We climbed the secret stairs and went to the second floor, where I saw the girls, laughing and smiling at the patrons.
 
It is a familiar scene that made me smile, but it is also different from the past. 
 
So much different.
 
First, the interior is much better, with high ceilings and a huge chandelier along with beautiful art. The dresses the girls wore were wearing; all of them had a magical thread in them.
 
The accessories they were wearing were also expensive and, more importantly, they were doing great.
 
A month of training and learning had made them better. Even the experienced girls are showing quite an improvement. The new girls mixed between them are also doing well.
 
I could see Jenna moving around the table, talking to the patron, laughing, flirting.
 
Every floor had a floor leader; they were the assistant madam’s. The leader of this floor is Jenna, and she is doing amazing.
 
We looked for a few minutes before we went to the third floor, which is a little smaller than the second floor and has fewer girls than it. 
 
The higher the floor, the fewer girls it will have, but they will be better leveled, and the interior of the floor will be much nicer.
 
Danielle is handling this floor, and, unlike Jenna, she is a little reserved, but every time she approaches any table, the patrons turn to her with a smile on their faces.
 
Finally, we reached the top floor; it had the smallest space, but its interior cost me more than double of two floors below.
 
I had kept intentionally small and, due to it, the space behind had a lot of rooms.
 
The floor only had twenty-eight tables and the girls on them were the best of the establishment. Most of them are the highest leveled, some closing on Lv. 25, but some hadn’t been Lv. 20, but are here.
 
I want the best, not the highest level, and sometimes, it doesn’t mean the same thing.
 
Mena is the floor leader, but Caena is also present here. 
 
Caena’s is responsible for everything and a minute after we stepped onto the fourth floor, she went down.
 
“I thought it was a little risky to have those two on the top floor, but it seemed like, it was a good decision,” said Margaux and I couldn’t help, but smile.
 
I didn’t have to ask them to know who they were talking about.
 
They are talking about Bell and Rexy, two new girls. They were not supposed to be on the top floor. 
 
The top floor was supposed to be for the experienced girls, but those two have impressed me enough that I added them to the top girls.
 
It is huge, but I thought it would be worth it, and seeing how they are doing, it might be worth it.
 
Though nothing is concrete; it is just a first impression and barely an hour passed. Those two are a little complicated, one is orc blood, while the other straightforwardly said that she won’t have sex.
 
Rexy isn’t a problem; the orc blood is beautiful, funny, and charming, completely opposite of Senar, who is reserved.
 
She is also on this floor.
 
Bell is different, she is quiet, but not reserved. There also seemed to be an air of heaviness around her, she tried to hide it, try to look nothing more than a pretty face, but it was there, and it came now and then.
 
The reason I had chosen her, was because of her ability to hold the conversation. She could keep people engaged in even the most boring topic.
 
It is one of the challenges here and the man who is sitting opposite to her is one of the most boring people, but he gives lavish gifts.
 
It is the reason he is on the top floor.
 
Not anyone could get onto the top floor. There is a list of people, made by madams and girls. Only those on the list could have the privilege of coming to the top floor.
 
Thankfully, the list is quite long and will keep growing every day or I would have been worried about getting patrons here.
 
“We will need more girls in the leadership role, both in the establishment and in the circle,” said Carla suddenly.
 
“Dell and I will be able to handle the circle,” said Margaux, a little defensively. 
 
Her tone is understandable. Today was her first day, and she didn’t want anyone doubting her abilities.
 
“You can handle the girls at the current number, but what will you do when more girls come?” Carla asked back her friend.
 
Instead of answering, Margaux looked at me.
 
“We do need more girls at leadership in the establishment. We only have one madam and three assistant madams, we need more since the establishment is going to be a day/night business,” 
 
“As for getting new girls, it will depend on how the establishment does,” I said and looked ahead.
