“I am going to miss you,” I said as muzzled my nose into Carla's neck.
It has already been a week since I returned, and I have been busy, especially in the first three days and I am going to be busy again from tomorrow.
Today, the shipment of goods has left the Navr; it will reach the Mirador Hold tomorrow, and by night; the goods will be in the city. It is the day I had been waiting for and also the one I had been dreading.
The people reacted when they heard we will be trading with Navr.
I can’t help but be worried, about what they will do when the actual goods from the undead enter the city.
I have prepared for this moment for a week, but still can’t predict the reaction the people will have. I hope it won't be too much or I might lose my job.
I love my job, despite hating the guts of my boss.
“Don’t worry too much. Everything would be fine,” said Carla, noticing the look and kissed me.
The kiss lasted for more than a minute before our lips separated and she got out of bed, with the duvet sliding off seductively off her body.
“Stay,” I said to her, and she shook her head.
“I can’t. I am leaving in a few hours and there are many things for me to do,” she said as she quickly wore her clothes, which are scattered across the room.
Since I had returned, I had been with her for the night and now she is leaving. I wish I could have spent more time with her, but I was so busy; for the first three days, I slept in my office.
For the next four days, I slept only for four hours.
Soon, she finished wearing her clothes and bend down to kiss me. “We will spend all the together when I return,” she said and left the room.
I stayed on the bed for a couple of minutes before getting up.
A few minutes later, I walked out of the building in the faint light of dawn. After reaching my spot, I started yoga, which I hadn’t done in nearly two weeks.
By the time I am finished. Instructor David had arrived.
“Shall we begin?” he asked, without making any small talk. “Yes,” I said, and I moved to attack him with Rapid Legs.
A faint surprise appeared on his face, but he reacted quickly and responded.
Instructor David, as usual, came at me hard. Using a plethora of skills against me, some he had never used before.
His class provides him with many skills.
Some combat teaching classes get a repository, where they have many skills to teach their pupils.
Some repositories have tens of skills, while some have hundreds. I heard; I heard some repositories of very powerful classes have thousands of skills in their repositories.
Instructor David is good, but I don’t think he is over Level 30, close but not there. This means his repository will probably have around fifty skills.
These skills could only be used in teaching the pupils and not in the battle, or these classes would have been terrifying.
It is because of practice with these skills; I was able to survive against those bandits. They had many skills, some I have never seen, but I survived them, and the big credit goes to instructor David.
I responded to his attacks but mostly dodged. It is the thing I could do the best and planned to focus on in the short term.
Before, I wasn’t able to dodge so many of his attacks, but now I am doing it and it is not only because of my amazing skills but also because of the experience.
I had fought bandits, fought the bloody plants and undead. Every one of them had the power to kill me with a single attack, but I survived, and I will train even harder to survive more of such incidents.
I plan to live long, and I am sure I will come against many dangers. I want to be prepared to deal with them.
Soon, two hours were over, and we had stopped; an hour early than usual, but this is all I could spend today and in the next few days.
“You have improved tremendously in these two weeks, Remus. To be honest, I have never seen anyone improve so fast, except in the war, and even there, very few could make such comprehensive progress.” He said with wonder written all over his face.
“I have experienced a few things that forced me to improve,” I replied, and his expressions become serious.
“They must have been something,” he said, and I smiled.
I have been ordered to not talk about the dungeon. Even if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have talked about it; that place is not something one should talk about it in the open.
Instructor David left a few minutes later after giving me the tips and the promise of making the training even harder in the next session. I am more than open to it; I want it hard as possible.
I walked inside the building with much less pain than I would usually feel after training with instructor David.
The establishment feels a little different; it is not noticeable unless you are focused on certain things. Some of them had improved, like now there was little less dust accumulated on the hidden corners.
The six ritual enchantments were things I could notice easily, and they seemed to be working. Or it could be the spells doing to make me believe it.
To know for sure, I am spending a lot of money. I had asked her to make six ritual enchantments earlier. Yesterday, I increased that number to thirty-two and even ordered the material needed to make it.
They will arrive by tomorrow.
These thirty-two ritual enchantments will tell me the truth. As even if she is a powerful witch, she wouldn’t be able to maintain so much active spells constantly, if she is lying to me.
If she is telling the truth, then my establishment will become even better, and I will spend more.
Millions of crowns.
I will enchant the establishment with thousands of such ritual enchantments, till it could only be bested by the legacies alone.
It seemed farfetched but could be achieved. I am confident I will be able to do it, if it is the truth.
As I reached my room, I removed all my clothes and applied the numbing cream before walking into the shower.
Two hours later, I was waving at Carla, who was walking toward the ship with Eudo and Andrea. If everything goes well, then she will return in five to six days, a week at most.
She reached the ship and waved back at me.
I stayed for a few minutes before sitting back in my carriage. I would have waited till the ship has sailed, but I do not have time.
“To Nielson,” I said to the driver.
I have a couple of things to do today. First, meet with Valentina, that’s where I am going. Then go back to the establishment to finish the interviews, before going to the office.
I have taken the time and interviewed most of the girls, and now only two had remained. I want to finish with that as soon as possible and make my choice, as aren’t many days have remained, till the debut date of new girls.
The carriage stopped, and I got out of it and walked inside the building of the Nielson Guild.
“Miss Elar is waiting for you inside, Adviser,” said the receptionist. I nodded my thanks and walked into Valentina’s office and immediately got surprised.
There was Valentina and Chief Architect Davidson, sitting opposite of her, and between them, was a projection of a circular building.
Seeing it, a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face.
She seemed to have finished with the changes, I had asked her; they were a little complicated and couldn’t be done in a single meeting.
“Remus, welcome,” said Valentina as I entered her office. “Adviser,” greeted Davidson.
“Miss Valentina, Mr. Davidson,” I said, while still looking at the projection, which is covering the whole table.
My trip to Navr opened my eyes to some things and gave me perspective. So, I asked for the changes, expensive changes for which I had to give her the whole check I got from the Count and some more.
“We have incorporated all the changes you have asked for,” Valentina informed, and begin to show me the changes.
I looked at each and every one of them and she had incorporated it all. There are many changes, including adding a few more specialized rooms, some changes in the spa, and a few other things.
There is one thing I added, which took half of the check. It will be a long investment, but I could already tell it will be worth it. It will give her girls what they had never expected.
I just hope enough of them have a talent for that. I should have checked that, before making such an investment, but it is fine. I am thinking of the future, if my girls didn’t have it, I will get those who have.
The contract of those will cost me a lot, but I will get them.
“The changes will not affect the schedule, right?” I asked, and she smiled. “It won’t,” she replied.
I felt relieved.
The construction is progressing rapidly. I have seen what she was able to do in little more than a month.
She had already told me she was confident it will be finished in five months, instead of the six months she had said before.
“I don’t mind, if you finished early,” I said, and she smiled before rolling her eyes.
After hashing out a few details, I was in the carriage again, and a little more than ten minutes later; I was in the establishment.
I didn’t go immediately inside and turned to the construction, where over a hundred people were working. They are already finished with the first floor and within two months, the rest of the four floors will be contracted, along with a spa in the middle.
It is the small, complicated work later that is going to take a further two months.
I wanted to check it out, but there are other things for me to do. Sighing, I walked into the establishment.
“Master Silver,” Margaux greeted as she saw me in the hall. “Margaux, send the two girls for the interview,” I said and walked to my office.
I want to choose today; there are less than ten days before new girls debut, and I want assistant madam to learn at least a few things before loads of responsibilities fall on them.
Seeing the number of girls going to debut, the responsibilities are going to be heavy.
“Master Silver, Miss Ruvel has come for the interview,” informed Clair. “Send her in,” I replied.
A moment later, a woman in her mid-forties with dark blond hair walked inside.
Fifty-five minutes later, I had finished with interviews and asked Clair to call Margaux. I had made my decision.

The door opened, and Margaux walked inside. “Have you decided, Master Silver?” she asked as she sat down.
“Yes,” I replied and forwarded the page. She looked at it and was surprised immediately.
“Three?” she asked, and I nodded.
I originally planned to hire only one for the job, but after thinking. Three would be the best; I would need capable people. Not only for the establishment but also for the place I am constructing.
There are also a few other things I have in mind, and I would like to have a capable person in my hand, till that happens.
The three girls are Lola, Della, and Andrea; all of them are capable and are the top earners in the establishment. They will have to work and juggle the administrative responsibilities together.
I am worried, but Carla and Margaux seemed confident. They will be able to do it and I believe in their judgment.
