I looked at the text in front of me, dumbfoundedness. I had levelled up in my witch class and that didn’t surprise me.
 
Though, I am happy, especially gaining the skill. The skill is not rare; most witches, especially those who work on charms, get it after crossing Level 10.
 
I didn’t have the chance, everything was destroyed by the time I got the class, and rarely made charms for years, in fear of getting discovered.
 
I pushed those thoughts and focused on the thing, that surprised me. 
 
The new class Madam.
 
I shouldn’t have got it, seeing I had a Prostitute Class, which had merged into the Witch class; giving me the primary class I have.
 
The experience I got from running a brothel should have gone to the primary class, which has my Prostitute Class, but that didn’t happen and instead, I gained the new class.
 
I looked at the class and skills carefully and felt every aspect of them, and soon a smile appeared on my face.
 
I understood why, I had gained the class.
 
The Prostitute Class that merged with my Witch Class, had an aspect of sex, lust, sin, and other things, but didn’t have administration.
 
I didn’t manage anything; I was just a common whore like the rest.
 
It changed when Master Silver made me the assistant, madam, and I gained administrative responsibilities.
 
The experience of it tried to merge with a Prostitute Class part of my primary class, but it couldn’t. 
 
If my Witch Class hadn’t merged with my Prostitute Class, it wouldn’t have been a problem. The Prostitute Class would have advanced to Madam, as it had happened with my seniors and assistant madams.
 
I think it was the reason why, I felt the buzzing in my class for the past two months.
 
Yesterday, the experience of administration was too much, and since it couldn’t merge; it had formed a new class with an administrative nature.
 
I am happy with my new class. It will aid me immensely in my duties as a madam.

“I breached the capstone,” I said as I looked at the three texts in front of me. I knew there was a high chance of it happening, but seeing it happening has still surprised me.
 
It is not a common level-up, but a breaching of capstone. People took years and many couldn’t even do it, but I did it and did it in little more than a year.
 
It immediately set me apart from more than half of the population of the world. 
 
More than half of the people of the world could never breach the second capstone.
 
It is quite surprising that I had gained not one level, but two. It is quite hard to gain level after the second capstone; one needs to work hard for each level.
 
It seemed like yesterday's convention-breaking opening of the restaurant, has given me a greater response than I had imagined.
 
I turned to the skill, not a normal skill, but a capstone skill. They are stronger and rarer and this one feels strong and gives me a similar vibe as Command Projection of my Trainer Class.
 
I think I have an idea of what it is about and could do, but I will have to test it first before I can say something about it.
 
Though, if it worked as I expected it to be. Then it is going to solve, many problems. Especially with what I am planning to do next.
 
I looked at skill before going back to the two-level ups and with them, the two attribute points I got. 
 
I want to add them to Charm and Intelligence, but I am still working on baronies, and it would be wise to spend on the physical attributes.
 
I didn’t feel good about that choice; I needed the points in my mental skills too, seeing most of the skills are mental in nature.
 
So, after much thinking, I made a compromise. I added one point to the Strength attribute, taking it to eleven, and one to Intelligence, taking it to twelve.
 
Their effect was immediate. 
 
I felt stronger like, I could punch through the wall and my thoughts became clearer. 
 
It couldn’t help but make but bring a smile to my face, thinking how much these points will help me, especially the Intelligence.
 
 

 
 
I looked at the interface for a minute, before closing it and stepping out of the bed.
 
Forty-five minutes later, I opened the door of my room and stepped into my office. Now, there is a room right behind my office; it is smaller than the room, I had before, but I didn’t mind.
 
It does the job and is big enough that I could do other activities without feeling constrained.
 
“Congratulations on breaking the capstone,” said Carla. I froze as I was about to sit down.
 
“How do you know?” I asked in surprise.
 
I wouldn’t have been surprised. If she had congratulated me on leveling up, but she had specifically said, capstone.
 
“Your skill, covering the establishment, spiked in power.” She replied, and I immediately deactivated the skill before activating again, while shaking my head.
 
It is useless; the people would have already been aware of it by now. There is no need for me to hide and I am not planning to hide it either.
 
Torch for Seeker is an extremely useful skill. It will attract patrons and there is no way I would lessen its power, just so I could hide my real level.
 
It would be like hitting my toe with a hammer.
 
Instead, it will benefit me. If people know, I have reached Lv. 20 so quickly. Sometimes, it is more useful to show strength than to hide it.
 
“How are things?” I asked. “With Carla and Margaux taking the reins, my responsibilities of the establishment had lessened a lot,”
 
“Which is good, because the responsibilities of our liquor business are increasing,” she replied. 
 
I had handed the business to her. She is doing a great job, better than I had thought she would. 
 
This is good, because, if the establishment did as I wanted it, to do and I got all the permissions, she is going to get very busy for a long time.
 
“Don’t worry; the help is coming,” I replied, and she smiled gratefully.
 
She knows my plans and understands how drastically things will change in the next few months.
 
It is why, I had a few capable people coming to share the load. 
 
They will be coming with members of the house, who are coming to set up a branch in the Greltheaven. It was supposed to happen months ago, but some things are happening there, that delayed them.
 
They will be here in three days.
 
“So, when we will file the applications?” she asked, with excitement burning in her eyes.
 
“We will have to see how the establishment does first,” I said, to which she waved her hand.
 
“I don’t think that is a problem. Even the kind of clientele you want didn’t come. It won't be a problem for us to fill every table at the restaurant with our usual clients,” she said, looking at me intently.
 
“Yes, I know, but we need that of clientele. If we want to take the establishment to a greater height,” I said to that.
 
“Fine, we will wait for a week. I just hope, you will be able to stay a week,” she said, and I smiled.
 
It is difficult to say, but I don’t think that would be a problem, seeing everything is going well in the baronies. Even the monsters are being handled.
 
Most importantly, more caravans coming from the merchant-state every day. I am receiving loads of messages from merchants from the city and Oksall, asking about the plot sale.
 
Speaking of which; the negotiations are nearly finished. We will complete a deal in the next few days.
 
I pushed those thoughts and focused back on Carla.
 
“Give me your hand,” I said to her, and she arched her brow with a suggestive smile on her face.
 
Seeing that, I wanted to jump out of my chair and rip that dress off her, but I controlled myself.
 
“Nothing of that sort; I want to test my new skill,” I replied and could see a faint disappointment before she gave her dainty hand to me.
 
I took her soft hand, and I wanted to kiss it. Instead, I closed my eyes and a second later activated my capstone skill, See My Vision.
 
As I did, I projected what I was imagining to her.
 
I have quite a practice for it since the Command Projection of Trainer Class is about the same, but I could already start to see the fundamental difference between the two.
 
The biggest of them all is the power of the skill and for how long, I could use it.
 
Two minutes and thirteen seconds later, the skill stopped, and I let go of her hand. It is far more time than the eight seconds I get with the command projection.
 
I turned to Carla, who still had her eyes closed, which she did some time ago.
 
I didn’t disturb her and waited. 
 
I needed to wait for more than a minute before she had finally opened her eyes, looking at me with shock.
 
“Is that your vision for the establishment?” she asked. To which I nodded after a moment. 
 
“It is beyond anything I thought and feels impossible,” she said with wonder in her voice. “For you, near impossible,” she added, and I smiled.
 
“Let me test a few more things,” I said and once again, she gave me her hand.
 
I tested a couple of things, till I felt tired and couldn’t do it anymore, but there was a smile on my face.
 
“It is an amazing skill you have got,” she said as I opened my eyes after a few minutes of rest.
 
“It is,” I said with a smile.
 
The skill can let me share what I want, memories, thoughts, and imagination.
 
It is anything as long as it is related to business. The things related to the establishment are the clearest; the ones related to my liquor business are also clear enough.
 
There was a huge resistance when I tried to share anything else, like scenery or memory unrelated to the business.
 
It is blank most of the time or extremely blurry.
 
There are a couple of more things I want to test, which I couldn’t do with Carla. Things like, whether I could use it with people other than the girls and those who work in establishments and a few other things.
 
“You rest. I have a meeting with Mr. Hazev from Deerpond in half an hour,” she informed me before leaving my office.
 
The Deerpond is lessening the restriction on goods from Navr, that came through Mirador Hold. However, they are not still letting their merchants come and I am trying for it.
 
It will be great if I am able to achieve that. Once Deerpond agreed; the rest of the cities which are resisting would also let their merchants trade with Navr.
 
It will bring a lot of taxes to the city.
