I woke up, and after a shower, walked out of my room.
 
Today is the last day of the celebration, and it is going to be even more stressful. All the important people are coming today.
 
From powerful nobles to hosts of legacies. My Grandfather and Gerald are also coming from Namdar to attend the celebration. 
 
The past two days have gone great, everybody was impressed. If I had not impressed them, even after spending so much, then I really would have been ashamed of myself.
 
I do not care about the money; I will earn it back and it wouldn’t take me that long. I have that much confidence in myself.
 
Click!
 
I entered my office and saw that Caena, Margaux, and Carla were already waiting there. I nodded at them and sat down.
 
“How are things?” I asked directly, there is no time to waste today.
 
“Till now, all good. Though, the Countess Wilstein would be coming an hour early at eleven, with Marchioness Gats and a few more ladies,” informed Carla.
 
The nobles, never make things easy.
 
Countess Wilstein is the wife of Count Darrow. She arrived yesterday, along with her daughter-in-law. Marchioness Gates should have arrived by now with her son from Dustorn Fortress.
 
“You handled it, right?” I asked. “Yes, the appointments have been adjusted,” she replied, and I took a sigh of relief.
 
Till two days ago, not many nobles and other important people were interested in the spa, but now everybody wants to have an appointment. That spa is running constantly, without a single break.
 
It was too good; I listened to the old man’s advice and trained all the old of the spa.
 
The old man’s advice wasn’t exactly about the spa. He just said, I should have more people in the field, which I think going to work. Because if it really worked, people are going to want it and nobles are going to be forceful.
 
They were, and I couldn’t decline the requests from powerful nobles like Countess Wilstein.
 
“Take good care of them. I want those women impressed,” I said to her. “They will be,” replied Carla.
 
It will be a challenge, seeing the Countess didn’t want to see a face of a single whore while she was her. Those were her exact words, which I straight up declined, saying the establishment was a brothel.
 
“Have all the supplies arrived?” I asked. 
 
The cost of food and drink is enormous. In two days, those bastards had eaten and drank, more than I had estimated.
 
“Yes, a few hours ago. The special delivery will be brought by Mr. Lindgren, he will arrive in two hours,” replied Margaux.
 
Old man Vanis had a legacy for nearly a century and has a large collection of great wines. With Legacy, I could get mostly all wines in the top hundred, but really aged ones are hard to get.
 
I had asked the old man for a few, and he agreed.
 
“Are staff and girls ready for today?” I asked as I turned to Caena. “They are ready,” she replied.
 
They have done great in the past two days. Handling all sorts of guests, from angry to obnoxious.
 
However, the guests also kept their behavior in control. This is a legacy and not a common brothel and I am sure they all must have come to know how the legacy is born and what would happen if you were too rude.
 
Still, we had banned the one guest on the first day.
 
A few minutes later, they left, leaving me alone in the office with my thoughts.
 
I really wished the celebration had been only one day long. It was too stressful, but I had to follow the tradition and could understand its uses, but still, the pressure was too much. 
 
Thankfully, the family had sent a few people to handle things outside, along with three house council members. 
 
They are the ones, along with my sister, who is responsible for handling the guests. Which is good, because I wouldn’t have been able to handle everything alone.
 
A few seconds later, everything in front of me turned dark, and the sun appeared, along with planets and all. 
 
Once the guest arrived, I wouldn’t be summoning it. There are a host of legacies, present in the establishment, and I don’t want to summon it in their presence. Who knows the kind of abilities they have?
 
Some of them might be able to see through my legacy, and I don’t want to take the chance.
 
I focused on the dense emotions coming into the sun from the spa. It was running all night and even running now.
 
Many people wanted the appointment, but there were limited spots during the day. If you still want it, you will have to choose the spots at night and midnight and many important people didn’t have any problem with that.
 
Many didn’t get even that.
 
I was planning to keep the spa open from morning to evening, but seeing how many people are vying for the appointments, we will have to keep the spa open for longer or even all day and night.
 
I might also use the trainees. The girls who are learning to be spa therapists and the new staff, I had hired.
 
All of them are at the level of Maeve, with many better than her.
 
It wouldn’t happen for the latter despite their level and skills, before they prove their loyalty. Working with emotion mist is a privilege that only be given to those we trust.
 
It’s not like I need more spa therapists. The current numbers are enough to maintain the exclusivity of it and we could slowly train the trainees with emotion mist, who are ready to fully commit to it.
 
I looked at the emotions that were pouring into the core, and it was in a big amount. Not as huge as it is during the day, but still big, and almost all of it is from a spa. Since nothing else is open.
 
Hun!
 
I looked at it for a few seconds and was about to close it when suddenly I stopped with my eyes wide in surprise.
 
Since yesterday, we have been keeping the spa open all night, but I didn’t notice it yesterday. I couldn’t be blamed, because there were many couples yesterday morning, but right now, it is mostly women.
 
“Only two couples today,” I said. I didn’t need to use Instant Recollection; I was there when Caena, Maeve, and others finalized the list last night.
 
There are only two couples, the rest are women, but the emotions coming from the spa are just as intense. 
 
Some wisps of emotion seemed far more intense than yesterday's.
 
There is love, longing, desire, and affection, but there is also fear, desperation, and excitement of different flavors. 
 
I didn’t have to think about what was happening there. There are two people in each resting room and most of them came in pairs. I had not issued extra invitations to the first two nights' guests, but I had to do it one thirds of the nights.
 
They are important enough that I couldn’t reject them.
 
I wish that I could see the emotion through the specific relaxing rooms. Currently, I couldn’t do it. I could see the emotion coming from the specific sections, but not through the specific rooms.
 
If I concentrate, I will be able to sense the presence in the specific rooms, but not the state of their emotions or what they are doing.
 
To see what they are doing; I have to activate one of the planets and I have no wish to do that. What they are doing there is their business; the only thing I care about is the experience they are having and the emotions my legacy is getting.
 
In that, they have made me happy.
 
I looked for a few minutes more before coming back to the real world. More confident that it won’t take even six months, which I had thought earlier for my establishment to level up.
 
I did some work for a few minutes before walking out of my room.
 
I looked at all the preparations that were happening and a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face. They are doing well and if preparations are anything to see, then this night would be better than the two nights.
 
I was looking at the preparations when a carriage pulled in and two women walked out, and a young girl waiting greeted them, before leading them to the spa.
 
It is not just the therapist raking in the money, but also these teens. 
 
In the past month, they have been trained extensively for it. I had brought special teachers to them for the training, and they have not disappointed the establishment.
 
I had entered the garden when I saw a familiar man and walked into it.
 
“Sir Schengen,” I greeted the old man. He is a guardian; he could come and go to the legacy at any time. Though it was the first time he had come in the early morning.
 
“Lord Silver,” said the old man.
 
“I hope you like the establishment and our beautiful, so far, Sir Schengen,” I said, to which the old man’s eyes lit up. 
 
“You are a visionary, Lord Silver. Anyone who sees your work from the inside and the efforts you put, they are will not be surprised, seeing you birthing the legacy,” he said, looking impressed.
 
“Thank you for your praise, Sir Schengen,” I said, and the old man smiled.
 
For a minute, we didn’t talk and just walked, when the old man turned to me again. “I saw a training ring in back and heard from the guards that you practice daily?” he asked.
 
“Yes. I had too, seeing how danger seems to follow me around,” I replied, and the old man nodded.
 
“It is a good thing. People couldn’t protect you forever. You need to have enough strength to protect yourself,” he said, and this time, it was my time to nod.
 
I know how true it is. It is for this reason that I am alive. If I hadn’t trained and was prepared, to fight, I wouldn’t have been standing here. I would have been six feet under in the first danger I have come across.
 
“This old man isn’t very powerful but had some ability to train. If you wish, my lord, I would be more than happy to train you,” he offered, and for a moment, I froze.
 
The old man is joking when he said isn’t powerful. He is very powerful and used to be a high-ranking imperial knight before he suddenly disappeared a decade ago during one of his missions and was thought to be dead.
 
Only to appear in the Greltheaven.
 
Training from him would be immensely helpful. It was the greatest dream of old Remus to be an Imperial Knight. He used to live and breathe for it and now an imperial knight is offering to train me.
 
“It would be my honor to receive guidance from you, Sir Schengen,” I replied.
 
I know the old man had an ulterior motive. There are always, but that doesn’t mean, I would let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
 
I need to take this opportunity, now more than ever.
 
I stayed with the old man for half an hour, before getting into the carriage. 
 
I am going to the port to welcome someone. He is the only one, who is important enough for me to go to the port to welcome him personally.
