While Clyde was strolling around the streets on a date with “Radiant Saintess” Suhiya, one of the leaders of Light Church’s special envoy squad, they encountered his younger sister Lucifer, this innocent-looking Bloodkin Lolita. Under her lead, they arrived at a newly opened grand hotel.
Steinbeck Fief was still in the developing phase. Many stores had still not opened. Although Suzerain Princess Saras had issued many preferential policies for investment, the highest benefits even reaching the level of a one year tax exemption, because the population of Steinbeck Fief was too low, coupled with the safety of the environment being too bad, and all the nearby Clark Alliance nations, many merchants thought that this place was not a safe investment.
However, there were some exceptions like this grand hotel “Moston” in front of Clyde’s party. Its main building was nine stories, and it had an extremely luxurious interior. The standard was comparable to a five-star grand hotel. Even compared to the five-star grand hotel that Clyde had stayed at in Adrian Empire’s capital, Samuel City, the level of luxury here was clearly better. However, Ckyde couldn’t understand since in the current Steinbeck Fief, only a few dozen people could afford such a high-grade hotel. Even if there were a preferential tax exemption for a year, it was hard to avoid losing money when opening such a grand hotel. The daily labor costs alone were very high.
Clyde was worried that an awkward situation might arise due to his and, later on, other locals not having enough money; however, after seeing the advertisement hanging outside “Moston” Hotel, he suddenly saw the light. He finally realized that this Bloodkin Lolita Lucifer was truly a clever person who knew all the loopholes in the preferential welfare policies. At a conspicuous position at the “Moston” Hotel’s entrance gate, a billboard stated that Light Church’s members didn’t need to pay for anything. In addition, they could bring along two non-Light Church members who would also not need to pay any bills.
This “Moston” Hotel was the conscience of the industry. Members of Light Church didn’t need to pay for anything and were even allowed to bring along two friends to enjoy sumptuous meals free of charge. Fortunately, all members of Light Church in Steinbeck Fief were priestesses, nuns, and saintesses who, as girls, didn’t eat much. If instead they were people like Bishop Nichols, it wouldn’t be strange for “Moston” Hotel to go bankrupt.
“Radiant Saintess” Suhiya stood outside the entrance of “Moston” Hotel. Looking at the golden rice-ear symbol on the signboard above the hotel’s entrance, she was a little confused. She felt that she recognized the origins of that symbol. Clyde noticed her small movement and also paused as he was preparing to step into “Moston” Hotel.
“What’s wrong, Suhiya? Is there a problem with this hotel? If this hotel is not to your liking, we can choose a normal one.”
“Nothing, just this symbol… This hotel is run by the Morston Clan. That rice-ear mark symbolizes their family. I wonder why they would want to open a hotel here.”
“You don’t need to care about it. Suhiya, we are here to just have a meal. Don’t think too much.”
“Okay, perhaps I was too sensitive. Sorry.”
Clyde looked very calm and collected on the surface, but, in his heart, he was calculating the pros and cons. Morston Clan was one of the three big tycoon clans that secretly controlled Adrian Empire’s politics. They monopolized the grain industry. Because they had an abundance of wealth, they often opened side businesses to make money, and hotels were their most common choice.
However, Clyde didn’t think that the Morston Clan would foolishly spend money to open a grand hotel in a new fief. While he was pondering this issue, Lucifer had already led them inside “Moston” Grand Hotel. The attendants were well-trained. After seeing the pure-white priest attire of Light Church on Suhiya’s body, an attendant came over with a smile and led them to a special compartment.
There, they encountered many acquaintances. Just after entering the doors to the luxurious compartment with Suhiya, Clyde saw three other saintesses of Light Church. “Punishment Saintess” Tiffany, “Light Saintess” Maria, and “Ice Saintess” Shirley along with a large number of nuns and priestess of Light Church’s secret envoy squad were all dining here. When Clyde and the others came, the complexions of these saintesses turned slightly red, looking very charming. Even the beautiful, pretty, innocent, and young Shirley expressed a rare feminine charm on her face.
Clyde glanced at the dining table and saw several empty bottles of fruit wine. The quality of most of the fruit wines available in Ximengsi Continent was poor. Generally, they couldn’t make people drunk. Those that could make people drunk like how these priestesses currently were were high-class goods. It seemed “Moston” Hotel deserved its reputation. Even though they were serving these members of Light Church free of charge, they weren’t stingy and offered those good wines.
“Suhiya, how come you are here? You usually don’t come to this kind of hotel.”
“Maria, Tiffany, how could you bring Shirley to this kind of place! She is still young.”
“Big Sister Suhiya, don’t blame them. I am not a baby, and these are just fruit juices, nothing more. Make an exception today, won’t you?”
Shirley was clearly drunk, but she was still coherent. Her complexion was slightly red as she coquettishly shook Suhiya’s arm. Suhiya helplessly sighed. Looking at Shirley with a doting gaze, she nodded before taking a seat. Clyde and Lucifer sat off to the side by themselves, not disturbing this gathering of saintesses. The secrecy measures of this compartment were quite good. After all, these Light Church personnel usually maintained strict and serious appearances in front of believers, and it would not be good to let ordinary believers see their drunken appearances. Otherwise, it could easily disillusion numerous believers, and their impressions towards the Light Church clergy would instantly shatter.
“Big Brother Clyde, among those ladies you brought back, I have already turned many disobedient ones into obedient children. What do you think? These big sisters of Light Church, I can… wu!”
“Sister Lucifer, when eating, don’t think about these strange things.”
Clyde used chopsticks to pick up a piece of roast meat and stuff Lucifer’s little mouth, not allowing this wicked erotic Bloodkin Lolita to talk about strange topics at the dining table. Naturally, if Clyde said that he had no thoughts towards these saintesses, even he himself wouldn’t believe it. Besides Shirley who he had just met, he had already seen the rest naked. Handing them over to other people, no matter how he thought of it, seemed wrong.
“Big Brother Clyde, you are too bad. Don’t you know that Bloodkin don’t eat human food? I only drink blood.”
“Eh, Sister Lucifer, where do you usually go to suck blood?”
“There are so many beautiful big sisters in the palace. Of course, I… It’s time to eat now. Don’t talk about strange topics.”
Lucifer put the roast meat back on the table. She was a Bloodkin, so she didn’t eat human foods; she had just come to this hotel to play around. Although she had stopped herself, Clyde could already guess the truth. Those beautiful maids in the palace were enough to fill Lucifer even if she only sucked a little mouthful from each one. Thus, there was no need to worry about her sucking the other party dry.
Naturally, Lucifer had a sense of propriety and didn’t turn those beauties into blood servants. Only she, this kind of special existence among Bloodkin, could control whether to turn the target into a blood servant. Since Lucifer didn’t eat any food, Clyde had to eat everything. In any case, the saintesses were occupied with each other. It was very unlikely for them to notice the abnormal situation here. Lucifer watched Clyde eat with a smile while reporting the recent developments of Steinbeck Fief to him. The scene looked very warm like a real brother and sister intimately chatting.
As the real behind-the-scenes controller of Steinbeck Fief, Lucifer’s understanding of Steinbeck Fief was far above the acting Suzerain Princess Saras and the other “higher-ups.” Naturally, her understanding of the beauties around Clyde was also the best. If Clyde wanted any information on any woman around him, Lucifer could immediately provide him first-hand information. Clyde had nothing to say. He truly wondered how this wicked Lolita with her off-the-chart ero-attribute was never bored doing this every day. Whenever she had free time, she would monitor the entirety of Stanley City and the actions of the various beauties in the palace. Lucifer knew what they did even better than they themselves did.
“Sister Lucifer, you… you don’t monitor them all day long, do you?”
“Of course, they all are big brother’s people. We need to watch for disloyal hearts. Rest assured; they will never know.”
Lucifer replied with a relaxed and pleased expression as if the things she did were a matter of course. Clyde didn’t know what to say. He himself had tacitly consented to her actions and even indulged them a little. With her strength, she was the strongest among his beautiful companions, so it was very unlikely that she would be found out if she didn’t will it. In addition, since she behaved like an endearing, silly younger sister with the many beauties, no one had noticed the wicked aims of this Lolita.
While Clyde was enjoying the good food, a beauty dressed in exquisite knight armor suddenly entered the luxurious compartment, before handing him an invitation card. Without a doubt, this black-haired beautiful knight was a paladin, similar to Alicia. Clyde silently opened the invitation card and immediately noticed a conspicuous symbol, Morston Clan’s golden rice-ear emblem. In addition, there was an anonymous magic debit card of ten thousand gold coins.
“Miss Paladin, did you give this invitation card to the wrong person?”
“Respected Mister Clyde, my family’s Miss wants to negotiate with you. These ten thousand gold coins are just a gift for a first meeting. If you are interested, please come with me.”
