Episode 47 – Black Pearl (1/2)
Kiel exhaled slowly and tried to reason with her “In this place, the waiters are dressed in higher class gar like this”
To tell the truth, Kiel wasn’t dressed like he was going to a party, but he was in no way dressed shabbily While his garments were practical, they were also stylish and made it hard for people to mistake him for a commoner
Elaru, on the other hand, was more casually dressed
“Black Pearl doesn’t discri as you look like you have enough money to dine here” Elaru looked Kiel up and down “They will be able to tell you are a Rroda right away, so even if you dragged in a half dead person in blood-stained rags, they’d still let you in and treat you like an honored guest”
Kiel stared at her dumbfounded That confidence…
“…you are not…talking from experience…are you?”
Elaru deadpanned: “I always talk from experience”
“…” Kiel’s face stiffened and after ahalf dead people in? Do assassins and thieves dine here too?”
“Anyone with enough ed “Black Pearl even has a deal with the Peacekeepers that prevents theitive comes to dine here, they would be completely safe from capture until they leave the premises of the Black Pearl”
Kiel’s eyes flashed “Then the question is…do you have enough money for us to dine here? Cause I sure don’t”
Elaru patted Kiel on the shoulder “Ye of little faith If I didn’t, would I have brought you here?” Without waiting for Kiel to respond, she turned her back to hi towards the entrance of the restaurant
Frowningly Kiel looked at her back Her long red ponytail was glittering like silk, ju with her every step Her narroaist and ay clothes
After a hed and followed her in
As they entered, what greeted the over the entrances and exits A violet carpet path led them from the entrance to the reception desks around which were positioned many servants in tuxedoes
As soon as Kiel and Elaru entered, a servant stepped forward frohtly bowed and exclaimed “Welcome to Black Pearl my lord and lady I will be your personal servant today Do honored guests have any special instructions for this lowly one?”
If the guests wanted to go to a specific floor or booth, had reservations, or perhaps co for them inside, they would be able to tell it to the waiter so he could bring theo
Since the moment he stepped foot into the restaurant, Kiel had started wearing his friendly sance and refine short of perfection
Like a gracious noble he was, Kiel nodded to thevoice: “We have come to enjoy a meal That is all”
Elaru’s mouth twitched when she heard his voice It wasn’t that Kiel’s voice usually wasn’t extremely pleasant to the ear On the contrary, he naturally possessed a deep, sexy voice that could easilyhis best to be as perfect as possible, he even exercised control over his voice to beto the ear
She found it funny how nobles did their outmost to appear as perfect as possible Yet as it that that they had a single fixed definition of perfection? They trampled on individuality and enforced their own outdated ideals And they even did it with a sense of self-righteousness as if stuffing their own kin into a single mold was only proper
She thought that Kiel’s natural way of speaking wasthan this side of him that tried to conform to the norms and appear as noble as possible His natural as unique and thus carried much more charm than the usual demeanor every “proper” noble used
The waiter bowed again and then motioned for them to follow him He led them towards a corridor out of the reception hall Many nureeted them from the both sides of the wide corridor It looked as if they were in a hotel instead of a restaurant Some doors had white numbers, and some had black nu next to the door
The waiter stopped in front of a door with a white nu hi spell nor did he have some kind of a key The door wasn’t locked
Inside the door was a sht be better to call it a booth It had a rack where one could leave their coat and a dining table surrounded by a co black leather couch Besides the entrance, there was an additional door leading to the bathroom
The wall opposite of the entrance to the roolass, and one could look at the beautiful garden scenery outside
Black Pearl Restaurant didn’t have a hall filled with tables like ordinary restaurants Every custoiven their own booth where they had absolute privacy, not couests
The waiter wanted to help the two take off their bags but Kiel waved hi: “We’ll call you e are ready to order”
The servant bowed and exited the roo for further instructions
When the servant exited, Elaru wasted no ti ical array which locked the door (and turned the numbers on the door black)
The two of the each other
Kiel was the first to speak up “Out with it What are you up to?”
