The Branded Female Fencer
City of Pleasure, Part 241 - Ruler of Turam ② -
"What have you done so early in the morning?
"I'm here to see you, would you be angry if I told you? No butlers today."
"I won't be angry. But as you know, in the morning, when we're in the middle of nowhere, too. Many employees go on break after cleaning. That's for me, too, without exception. The others have already gone on holiday, and I'm the only one left. I'm not even ready inside, and I know that if you want to play, it would be even better if you stayed up late at night."
"Don't be so cold, I'm kidding. I'm here today to collect the reward for my request. Could Forminey have fallen asleep, too?
"The director of the whore is away on an urgent call. If it's about the reward, I'll use it again at a later date."
"Um, well. I can't even stay in Tarram much longer. I need you to ask me something a little more bothering than that, do you have time?
"If I may, in a little while. Why don't we just stand here and change the place?"
The purity hall was not in a condition that I could show you right after closing, so Levere led me away. The gardens, even equipped with fountains, are nicely pruned to garden trees and are reminiscent of the gardens of the leading nobility. It is not as large, but in terms of elaborate construction, it looks superior to Ekla's house.
When I guided him to Shia (Gazebo), which is inside the garden, he entertained Alphilis with the tea he had prepared there.
"Were you open even on a tough day like yesterday?
"Oh my God? What was the big deal?
"You know as much as a bunch of orcs were sieging Tarram, right? I'm not regulating information. You know there was a fight, right? And yet you say what was so hard about it?
"Oh, because if that's the case, it's not a big deal"
Levere said it was painless. It's like peeling a taro.
"From the beginning this taram has been a land of numerous perils. I hear there used to be numerous wars over this land. When you head north here, you'll be in need of transportation. Until the federal system of free commercial cities was created and the freedom of this city secured, the city was in numerous danger. Among other things, the inhabitants of this city know to enjoy it to the extreme. If there were firemen in the city, they would have escaped, but if they were under siege, it wouldn't even begin. It is also unique to the residents of this city to enjoy in the whorehouse until the situation moves. Exactly. You all came to the store only to escape.
Many residents have that much courage with them even now that the threat of external enemies has disappeared and peace has prevailed. The vigilante is now capped at about 2,000 people, too, but you think you've once secured more than 10,000 troops for a time? I wonder how brave the residents were in those days when there were threats from the outside. "
"You're familiar with it."
"It's a whore's preference. Plus, I'm pretty old now, so education for newcomers is also a role. I take customers, too, don't I? Only when I'm short on manpower, but look, I'm not suitable for other whores, because I have to entertain my lords with other things."
dusty and smiling Luvere, but Alphilis did not return a grin.
"But when you get that familiar, isn't it beyond the hooker's appetite?
"That's not true. The history of Tarram's whores is old. I'm a little interested in the history of this city, and I looked into it, but the history of this whorehouse is also a big deal. They say it's 76 years old."
"No, it should be older. The current trademark registration for this golden purity hall was certainly about 76 years ago, but when we put together a group that would be moving forward, they said they had over 200 years of history with just what they could look into. I couldn't look into anything before that, but maybe there was a golden purity hall before that."
"It is also said that history in this city is, as it were, the history of whores. If so, this whorehouse may have had a predecessor group for hundreds of years."
"That's possible. By the way, how did Levere end up in this whorehouse?
"Well... if I tell you the truth, it's because this whorehouse was the most stable to run. Besides, the personality of the workers is good. I was born and raised in Tarram, but you want to have a peaceful old age. The most trustworthy whorehouse I've ever looked into my work was here. There's no deep reason, that's all. It would be boring, wouldn't it?
"No, tranquil old age is important. Neither do I."
"It doesn't look good on you, Master Alphilis."
"Why?"
"To be at peace, curiosity is too strong. He's the one who runs in the direction of his own interest even if he's left alone. Difficulties, misery always go hand in hand with curiosity. But understanding that won't stop you. Because it's the sex you were born with."
"Are you going to prophesy? You don't feel too good."
"It's true. Your curiosity can't stop being here right now. For those of you who bother to call me off and talk to me."
Even though the wind wasn't blowing, I felt the air shake. As the soft morning sun shoots, the two women found themselves all the time. No hostility. However, Levere was waiting for the words of the Alphilis. Did Alphilis just eat the face too. The next word didn't come out abruptly, but there was plenty of time. Eventually, Alphilis inquired slowly.
"You are the ruler of Tarram, Levere."
