28 Chapter 28 – Myriad Flowers lodge (2/2)
Whop!
With the full force of her weight, she sat down on him.
”Guaagghhh!” A weird voice came out of Adam's mouth as he was shocked into waking up. His body had gotten a bit sturdier after his training sessions and also Elaine was pretty lightweight so he wasn't particularly hurt by the exchange but the shock of the whole event had still left him with a foul mood.
He argued with Elaine for 10 minutes straight after waking up. Luckily he was able to get her to promise that she would never do that again so his mind was put to rest. It would have been his worst nightmare if his sleep were to be disturbed so 'violently' every day.
There were very few things he would not tolerate. His uninterrupted sleep was definitely on the top of that list.
Fen was lost in a fit of laughter as she watched her young master seriously scolding the drooping eared Elaine while Luna was doing her best to calm both sides down. Elaine could not figure out as to how she had 'offended' him so severely and as a result, was left speechless.
'Young master is so silly' Fen thought to herself. She thought back to how he handled an experienced slave trader with complete composure and even played him like a fiddle but lost his cool when he was woken up by a little girl.
”Big Sis… this is not a laughing matter. This is a life and death kind of situation!” Adam said with utmost seriousness. His sleep was truly that important to him.
Hearing his serious voice paired up with those words on the matter of him sleeping a few more minutes… Fen completely lost herself and reached the point where she was rolling on the floor in laughter.
In the pauses of her laughter, she replied ”Hehe, yes of course young master. Hahaha…..I haha will make sure they don't do it again hehe….Ahahaha.”
Not knowing what else to say, Adam continued scolding Elaine for a bit longer and then went to freshen up. At this point, even Luna could no longer control herself and began laughing while Elaine just stood there dumbfounded not comprehending what had just happened.
...…..
”Fen you go with them as well. Most of the girls have already taken up a profession class. You are the only one who hasn't decided yet. Since they are going anyway, you can take the opportunity to go and make your decision.” Yuki said after breakfast was done.
All the girls in the lodge would take up a profession class and be trained in it. This was one of the ways that Yuki gave the girls a chance to raise their social status.
As slaves, they were at the lowest level but after joining the lodge they were trained in the arts and domestic tasks. They were refined, mannered and smart girls. Just this alone had made these girls the dream spouse of all the men in the city.
The lodge had thus gained the name of 'Myriad Flowers Lodge' from the locals.
She additionally pushed them to pick a profession class so that they would never face any disadvantages if they were to ever leave the service of the lodge.
With the guilds certification, they could start their own or be employed at any store easily.
”Yes, mistress,” Fen replied.
Adam had been tasked with taking the twins to the guild to get them initiated as adventurers. Now with Fen also added to the group, the four set off from the lodge and made their way to the Guild.
....
Reaching the three-storey black building with a golden insignia on it, the group entered through the glass doors and arrived at the reception desk.
The same white desk that contrasted the black marble floors greeted them.
”Mrs Bren, it's good to see you again” Adam called out to the genial old lady behind the desk.
”Ah, little Adam. Its always good to see you too. What brings you here today? Oh! Who are these two little cute ladies with you?” Mrs Bren was as active as ever.
”We are young masters, personal maids!” Luna said with a tinge of excitement. Elaine beside her also seemed proud when she heard her sister.
”Oh my, how cute.” Mrs Bren bent over her desk and ruffled the hair of the two girls.
”Ahaha, well actually big sis Fen is here to choose a profession class while these two are here to take the initiation for adventurers.”He let out an awkward laugh and then stated their purpose for the visit. Adam was a little embarrassed by the twin's declaration.
”I see. Well, then I shall guide Fen to the room where we keep all our information on the different profession classes. In the meantime…” Mrs Bren pulled out two thin stacks of papers from a drawer in her desk along with an inkpot with a quill in it. ”fill these in while you wait. I'll take you to the room of the celestial enlightenment stone when I get back. Make sure to fill in the proper details of the two on them okay?”
”Don't worry Mrs Bren. Please feel free to guide big sis. We shall await your return.” Adam said confidently and then walked over to a long table on the left of the reception. He sat down there with the two girls.
He began filling in the two forms while occasionally asking the girls a few questions.
Seeing the worried look on Fen's face, Mrs Bren smiled and said ”They will be fine. Come, you have to worry about your choice for now. It is very important so don't take it lightly and choose wisely.” Mrs Bren led the way as the two ascended the steps to the first floor.
