City of Desire [Kingdom Building]

Chapter 67: Preparations

Clap!
 
"Ok, for the last time," I said as I clapped; the men left their places and walked out of the hall while the girls adjusted their positions from tables to bar.
 
Five minutes later, they returned and began to mingle with the girls during great music played in the background.
 
We have been doing this for two days; from the afternoon of the day, the girls came back from the spa. 
 
We practiced with the actors before they went to the spa, but I wanted them to have practice at the new establishment and was quite glad that Valentina had finished two days before the deadline, giving me a chance to perform the practice.
 
I sell experience and not sex, and this experience is a choreographed performance to give the patrons the best experience.
 
So, the more they practice, the better experience they will be able to provide to the patrons. I want them to practice until no flaw can be seen in their performance and they have reached there. 
 
Especially the old girls, who are absolutely perfect, and watching them, the new girls are learning fast.
 
The same had happened with lessons; those teachers having experience with the old girls, were able to teach them better. The new girls were also more fortunate than the old girls, as they had more time to learn than the old girls.
 
They could be said to be more ready than the old girls had been when the establishment had opened for the first time.
 
The practice continued as the hour passed, and everything was going great. They are practicing every scenario, from interactions to conflict, and excelling at everything.
 
I looked at each girl and turned to Margaux, who is the most important; for the past month, she had been learning from Carla, and today, she will take the full reins in her hands, and there will be no Carla to help her.
 
Today, Carla had officially resigned from the responsibilities of the madam.
 
"What do you think?" I asked Carla beside me, "They are doing great; I don't think there will be any problem," she said.
 
"I really hope so," I said.
 
A few minutes passed, and the practice continued before it was time to end it.
 
Clap!
 
"Finished!" I said as I clapped loudly, and a few seconds later, a man in his fifties dressed impeccably walked toward me.
 
"I hope you are satisfied with our performance, Mister Silver," said the man. "You and your company are best, as always, Keys," I said, Jor Keys, the same man I had hired for the girls' practice the first time.
 
I talked to him for a few minutes before he and his company left, and I turned to the girls who had gathered in the neat lines before me.
 
“Today is most of your all’s first day in the establishment, and I wish I could tell you all to enjoy,” 
 
That brought a laugh from more than half of the girls.
 
“Though try to find a little joy; the conversations can be fun, meaningful and if you don’t want to go above that, it is fine,” 
 
“As remember, there is a choice, and that choice is yours and yours only,” I said, emphasizing the last line, and to my surprise, some of them had begun to tear up after that.
 
“Thank you, Master Silver, your words mean a lot to the girls,” said Margaux emotionally. “Go rest; you all have a big day today,” I said, and they began to leave one by one till only Carla, and I remained.
 
“You have become quite good in speeches,” she said; I did not say anything to that and walked toward my office with her.
 
It is not a big day for the girls, but for me too; a lot of riding on how the establishment would perform today.
 
I hope to earn at least a million crowns daily, which will help me pay my dues and depts and plan for the future. There are a lot of plans, and they need money lots and lots of money.
 
…
 
“Alright, first nine get up,” I said and stood up, and with me, the nine girls. I looked at them before walking out of the common room with them following behind me.
 
Only two hours have remained till the opening, and it is time for us to start the preparations.
 
Soon, we reached the studio, and once again, it couldn’t help but enamor me. I have seen it tens of times, but it still shakes me whenever I see it.
 
“You have come on time,” said Eudo as we entered inside and turned to the girls. 
 
“Girls, get naked,” he said directly, and the three old girls, who were used to him, quickly removed all their clothes one after another. 
 
The teen girls, who were present to help, quickly picked up the clothes and stored them neatly, while to three naked girls, robes came flying and wore themselves on the girls' bodies with sashes knotted.
 
It all happened in less than twenty seconds.
 
The six new girls took time despite the practice; the moment they did, the robes came flying and wore themselves on them after some struggle.
 
“Good, now sit,” he said, and the girls walked toward the nine seats, which were better than the old three seats, with confidence and hesitation on their faces.
 
“Relax, everything is going to be fine,” I said as I sat down on a chair in the corner while five beauticians and Eudo moved to work on the girls.
 
At first, when the establishment opened, there was only Eudo, but then we hired Misses Rand, Elsa, as she asked me to call her, and two weeks ago, we hired three others; they are about the same level as Elsa and are good, especially when Eudo is guiding them.
 
Like everything in the rooms, the make-up, the instruments, and everything else are also new and of better quality, and their effects are evident as layers of make-up appear on them.
 
“Walk to the platform,” said Elsa said to Lydia, and she got up from the chair and walked to the small tile platform that had a mirror at every corner and disrobed without saying anything.
 
Elsa appeared beside her and sprayed her body with the delicate instrument, darkening Lydia’s pale skin.
 
With her skills and experience, Elsa took seconds to tan Lydia’s whole body before Eudo acted and made a minor adjustment with a little brush, but those instantly lighted up her skin with faint glitter, which made her look mesmerizing.
 
“Now for the dress and accessories,” he said, and I could see Lydia’s eyes lighting up; everybody was excited to wear beautiful things, even me.
 
As Eudo said it, the things came flying; the first came the black lingerie; Lydia familiarly moved her hand and feet as they flowed through her before it was time for a dress, a maroon color satin gown.
 
This gown is special, as it is made for her, and I could see the sheer joy on her face as it flowed through her body before fixing itself on her.
 
I nearly gasped seeing the gown; some girls even did.
 
She looked that beautiful in a gown that was crafted for her. No skill or spell compared to the fitting given by the custom dress, the way the gown hugged, and every curve and sloped around her body is amazing.
 
She looked beautiful like she had never looked before, and she was not even completely ready as the jewelry flew toward her.
 
A beautiful amethyst earing fixed on her ears and an amethyst necklace on her neck completed her before a few puffs of perfume sprayed on her.
 
She looked amazing beyond amazing, and when she looked in the mirror, tears began to flow out of her eyes.
 
“Your make-up may be waterproof, but I would prefer if you did not cry,” said Eudo, “Since it is waterproof, then it would be fine if I cried a river,” Lydia shot back; in a few months, some girls have become good friends with Eudo, Lydia is one of them. 
 
After Lydia got off the stage, another girl quickly took her place and, within a few seconds, transformed fully.
 
One by one, girls took the stage, and Eudo dressed them, using his telekinetic skill.
 
I couldn’t help but notice the range he could move things; it was longer than before. Whether he leveled up or hid the true strength of his abilities or both, I don’t know, but it had made things quite fast.
 
In nine minutes and twenty seconds, all the girls had been readied; it would have been even faster if not for the hesitation from the new girls. In a few days, they would get used to it along with new beauticians, making the processes even faster.
 
Exactly after nine minutes and forty seconds, another batch of girls came as she had asked them, and Eudo asked them in.
 
One by one, the girls got ready, and by the time five twenty, every girl was ready except for me.
 
“It is your turn, madam,” said Eudo, and she gave him a look before she activated Cloths Open.
 
Immediately her clothes fell down at her feet, and she became completely naked, but she did not remain naked for more than a second as the velvet robe flew over and slid her body.
 
The robe is different; while the robes of the girls were red, hers is black, with ‘madam’ monogrammed on it.
 
“I wish everybody had that skill of yours; it would have made things faster,” said Eudo. 
 
“Don’t worry, sooner or later, you will get such skill,” I shot back, and he glared before working on me.
 
The other beautician did not touch me, only Eudo, another privilege of being a madam.
 
“We do not want you to shine like stars the girls are doing; we want you to radiate the authority,” said Eudo as he worked on her hair and face at the same time.
 
Six minutes later, he finished, and I got up and walked on the platform once again, activating my skill; as I did, the robe fell, and I was completely naked, and this time, it was not going to be for just a second.
 
A brush with a shimmering solution went over my body, faintly adding a shimmer to my skin; it was the same over my body, except for my legs, where it was denser.
 
“Now it is time for you to get ready,” He said, and purple lingerie flew over her. 
 
She moved her hands and feet; lingerie appeared on her before a royal purple dress came flying in; it froze me for a moment.
 
The dress is beautiful, and the work on it is amazing; it also has a slit which is why Eudo focused more on the legs.
 
It is one of her favorites of nine dresses she had, all of them custom-made, more than any girl except for Carla. Master Silver had said that each girl should have at least nine custom dresses and, madam, a fourteen.
 
Currently, old girls have only four custom dresses each and new ones three; poor Elese had been working day and night to complete orders, and she will have to do it for a few months more, even with the new employees she is bringing every week.
 
From what I heard in the past two days, Master Silver had some great ambitions, and he will bring more girls in a month or two, which means more work for Elese.
 
Which she is more than happy to do; that girl loves her work too much.
 
The royal purple dress slid over her body, and a moment later, the jewelry came. A beautiful diamond necklace, which had a huge diamond twice her thumbnail and hundreds of small diamonds around it.
 
It looks beautiful, but it is not the end, as diamond earrings came next, and then the bracelet that looked made of vines, but it was not. It is some precious green metal on which diamonds are embedded beautifully.
 
She was just looking at the diamonds on her when the shoes came, and they were different from the ones worn by the girls.
 
They are high-heeled shoes made of purple crystals, and when she wore them, a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face. As they were comfortable, totally opposite of what she thought they would be.
 
“Now, a few sprinkles of perfume, and you will be ready,” said Eudo, and a white crystal bottle came in and sprinkled her with the most beautiful fragrance she had ever smelled in her life.
 
“I have reserved this for you; it suits you well,” informed Eudo, and I nodded my thanks as I loved the fragrance.
 
I took a deep breath of the wonderful fragrance and turned toward the mirror; what I saw couldn’t help but bring tears to my eyes. She had promised she would not cry as many girls did, but tears came out as I saw myself in the mirror.
 
In all the things I had dreamed and imagined, I had never, ever expected I would look like this.
 
I stayed there looking at the mirror for more than a minute, and for once, Eudo did not open his mouth to quip.
 
It took a while for me to control myself before I turned from the mirrors to Eudo.
 
“Thank you,” I said and got off the platform, and walked out of the room under the envious gazes of the women.
 
I never in her life thought I would be the receiver of those emotions, but I felt happy feeling their envy, as I felt like I had achieved something.
