222 Hotel and Tea House (1/2)
Thousand Agorian gold coins could be used to exchange for one low-quality life energy stone. Amaryll had notified Don that after discussing with Joel, Uncle Dior, and Amber, they proposed the plan to charge two hundred gold coins for a night in one of the third-floor rooms and fifty coins for a room on the second floor.
Don was happy with the prices and if he could manage to pull this restaurant business successfully, in the long term, it would turn into a very profitable business.
After experiencing the extravagance of the third floor, the rooms on the second floor paled in comparison. However, even those rooms looked like Don's chamber in the Agoria castle which made him think about renovating the castle itself because a king's room shouldn't be less fancy than a hotel room.
”Have you come up with a name for this establishment?”
Reghys asked Don when they returned to the dining hall as everyone looked at Don
”I left that matter in Amaryll's hands”
Hearing Don, Arwen couldn't help but remember the times they lived in the forest and built huts made of leaves and sticks but now, Amaryll got to run a high-end business like this and name the place with whatever name she likes.
”Continue your work, I want this place ready before the winter”
”It'll be ready, me king”
With this, Don took his men and made his way to the tea house which had been constructed near the restaurant.
”Your majesty, if you give the order, I can hire bards and start the advertisements”
”You do that”
Advertising and marketing were assigned to Joel and his men but since Lord Clemo asked, he decided to let him do it as Don wanted to get much attention towards his establishments as much as he could.
Following Lord Clemo, they reached the second construction site where another group of refugees was busy with grooming the plants outside the building as the dwarves were fixing the front door frame.
Unlike the restaurant which was built using the marble stones, the tea house was built using mostly wood and reinforced glass.
”Your majesty, Captain Arwen, Guardian Reghys”
When the black-armored guard who was supervising the other workers came running to them when he saw them. And even though the man kept his helmet on as he was ordered to, Don knew he's an elf by judging his accent and the wild jasmine perfume that elves like to apply on themselves was a dead giveaway to him.
”I'm the lead builder here, your majesty, Llarm, I'm called”
An elf who was talented in building things, it really surprised Don and even Arwen.
”Show us around, Llarm”
Arwen ordered the elf as he nodded and gestured at them to follow him.
Amber proposed the two-floor plan for the tea house and the first floor was built underground and the second floor was built on top of it.
”This is the entrance to the ground floor, your majesty, that way the nobles and comments have little to no chance of seeing each other”
Even though the place was built underground, Llarm's team built an elegant reception above the place to let the commoners and normal people know about this newly built establishment.
When the elf opened the doors, he was greeted by a luxurious hall filled with elegant tables, bar counters, chairs made of stone that resembled the marble stones but had a tint of blue shade to it.
The walls were painted with charcoal color and the golden chandeliers perfectly complemented the dark interior and the white objects such as the tables, chairs, and everything else.
”Your majesty, are we in the right place? It doesn't look like the place for commoners”
”We are indeed in the right place, Lord Clemo”
The elf proudly said and gave them a tour around the place.
”The supplies will reach here by the end of this week, your majesty”
Don nodded and checked the chimney built into the wall that was producing the heat to keep this place warm while Lord Clemo checked the sturdiness of the chairs by sitting on every chair he saw.
”Shall we go see the place above?”
Reghys asked Don after she checked this place out as Don nodded.
”Follow me, your majesty”
Llarm said and after a few moments, Don reached the door that he first saw.
Lord Clemo wondered how fancier this floor is going to look, compared to the one he just came from. The people were still carrying boxes that looked like containing glassware to the inside when Don and his men entered the floor.
And just as the glass door opened, he saw tables for two, four, and a family made of fine oak and luxurious golden sofa sets that were neatly arranged uniquely.
The expensive marble stones reflected the golden light produced by the huge elegant chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The place seemed like it could easily accommodate a hundred nobles comfortably because the hall was very spacious and even after the sofa sets and chairs, it had space to place statues or any other decorative items.
By looking at the wooden boxes lying on the ground, Don could say Amber hadn't done with this place yet.
