Chapter 87: Tenth Episode: Chapter 5 (2/2)

”After that? There is no ‘after that'!” Lobble could not smile anymore. ”When I knew her, she was already in love with someone else. I gave up even before I tell her my feelings.”

Oscar held his forehead. ”Oh god! Oh god! This lady will regret it so much! She had the chance to become the Queen, but she threw this chance away, didn't she? Or is it that...you are unconfident with yourself? Could it be that the one she loved is more excellent than you are?”

”That was not the problem.” Lobble shook his head. ”The point is... The one she loved is another lady.”

Oscar's face was twisted into a bun after hearing this, but the one who could not hold it in was Lobble. Soon, their laughter rang throughout the room and resonated through the empty hotel.

On the 28th day of 9th month, the sky was a little gloomy. The southeast wind was a little soft. The First Prince of Titan Empire said. ”No matter what! This is the big day to begin the business.”

Well then. Let the business begin!

Oscar's interest in hotel management was not that high. This was simply a product of his sudden surge of interest, but he knew the meaning this hotel had for Lobble Alfa Morisette. Watching him managing the hotel, this Prince obviously saw this business as the masterpiece of his life.

Saying this might have been a little early, as dark clouds had already gathered in the skies above the hotel. On the morning of the 28th day, a servant in Westberg Fort had already arrived in University Town. Even though the two Princes despised this man who came uninvited, this palace official was still trotting behind them shamelessly. The First Prince had no choice but to think carefully about the whole logic behind this. The truth was he had always been thinking. He was afraid of the reaction of Her Majesty the Queen and the scolding of His Majesty the Emperor.

But! Was managing a luxurious hotel an easy thing to do? Think about the few months that I had gone through! Lob thought as he gritted his teeth. Firstly, he had to communicate with the butler the Prince gave to him and come up with a detailed structural plan. Then he had to hire the most famous hotel management people in Westland to audit his work. These management experts would naturally have different opinions. When the plan had finally been confirmed, three months had already passed.

After that, the hotel project had reached the most troublesome stage. The renovation! Nothing was more troublesome than this! Lobb had never been a supervisor before. He did not know how these construction businessmen cut down their work. He did not even know how these thief-like guys brought those expensive machines out of his sight. But the Prince had solved this problem. There was one day when the workers were getting off from work, little Oscar stopped a foreman. He found a silk painting from him right on the spot. The Prince did not report to the local authority. Nor did he catch the worker. He only cut off both of that unfortunate man's hands. After this, the quality of the work had improved notably. And the lessons that the First Prince had gathered worldwide to renovate this hotel had never been lost ever again.

After that! Lobble thought about it. Damn it! Then it was still renovation! If a luxurious hotel only had rooms of a single style, then it would be mocked by the people. The true luxury indicated that the characteristic of the building and its décor were able to provide a strong visual impact and bring about the enjoyment of the body and soul for the people. If this point could be done, then the hotel must have enough scenery. And these sceneries were built together by the scenic decorations of different centuries and areas.

At last, Lobb could not even remember how many styles the hotel rooms had adopted, but some figures were definite. Lobb Oscar Hotel had 59 guest rooms, 17 suites, 6 middle-sized cottages and 3 stylish bathrooms of different sizes. There were two three-level presidential suites on the top floor of the tower-like building. According to what this Prince had said, a King might live in that place. On the lobby on the first floor, Lobb kept some of the decorations of the museum. There showcased a shocking amount of famous paintings and scrolls written by many famous writers. At the two sides of the lobby, there were 6 restaurants and 2 dance floors. In the basement, according to Oscar's suggestion, the workers from Hoilland, ‘Country of the Sea' had made numerous basement rooms. Also, they utilized their special load-bearing technology to create an underground palace that was the size of 800 square feet. Oscar gave an extremely awesome name to this underground palace – the Chariot of the Sun King! By using the words of the Prince, without taking much longer, the people that loved carriages in Westland would flock to this place and ride this chariot.

Then... What happened after that?

Lobb angrily waved his hands. ‘Enough! This is enough! If not I will go crazy!”

”Today is the day worth celebrating!” Oscar consoled him this way. The Prince pulled the First Prince out of the crowds congesting the hotel lobby. When they appeared at the gate, the bright red Satin for the opening ceremony had been prepared.

The people were finally able to widen their sight. They had heard about Satin before but those that did not have a certain social status had never seen it before! This legendary luxury objects from the east had the same value as gold. But sometimes, you could not buy the pure, high-quality goods even if you had mountains of gold. Look at that! Look at the aura of the Prince! He must cut that strand of bright red Satin.

Just when the people were cheering and throwing compliments, sudden changes occurred! The Prince and the First Prince held the Satin by two ends. They cut at the same time, but for some reasons, the remaining Satin burnt in flames. The crowds were a little flustered. Even the First Prince bounced backward in panic. The flames of the Satin surged towards the door plaque. Just when the people saw that the door plaque of the hotel was about to get burned, this huge plaque that had gold powder on it began to sparkle brightly. When the sparkle dissipated, the words of ‘Lobb Oscar Hotel began in Church Year 792' in wonderful Titan's Ancient Writing appeared in front of the people in the light of the flames.

”This is for you! Do you like it?” Oscar smiled as he looked at the dumbfounded Lobble.

”How do I say this... Haha...Hahahaha!” Lobb laughed, looking smug.

After all, this is the property of the Prince! The people exclaimed in delight. Even though the people who were invited all had titles of high social status and high wealth, but they could never imagine the luxury of this hotel no matter what. From the lightings to the plates, from the escalator to the pipe, every object, no matter big or small, brimmed a white silvery shine. And these things that did not matter much all had the name of the hotel and the date it was produce carved on it in a single font. But the most notable things was the dishes of the hotel. Take the reception event at the main hall, for example, every set of table and chair had a food rack for the people to use. On the lowest level of the food rack was the main dishes, the second was the sides, the third was salad and the fourth was all kinds of sauces for the meals. The wine and water were provided. The servants greatly showcased their professionalism. They held the silver plates that had a lot of wine glasses on top of it and weaved through the crowds like swimming fish. When the guest realized that their wine glass was empty, these servants would be right there by their sides. Thus, they could enjoy it to their heart's content!

”Alright! Alright!” Oscar had already gone up to the platform in which the band was performing when he spoke. ”My guests, my friends and the tourists that came from all sorts of places and also my poor classmates! I am sorry to use this word to describe you, but to be honest, you guys ate too much!”

The crowds burst into laughter. Oscar was very satisfied with the effect of this small event.

”Now it is the time for the free and easy activities arranged by me and my hotel manager. Everyone can look around anywhere in this hotel. You can also go downstairs and try your luck. Today is the opening of the hotel, so the Chariot of the Sun King will give every one of you a chip that represents a Golden Ti.”

The crowds bustled with noise again. Everyone was complaining how stingy the owner was.

”Yes! Yes!” Oscar stopped the noise in a loud voice. ”Yes! I heard all of that! But please do not blame this on my stinginess. Because I know every gentleman in this room is Gambling God and the ladies in this room... To be frank, the Gambling God will pay your bills!”

The laughter of the people got louder!

”Then... Liven up the place all you want! But at last, I should remind everyone that if you want to lock someone in the room upstairs, please remember to receive the person's permission. Then you can take the key from the servants on that floor!”

The guests in the hall yelled in excitement. This was the University Town. There were a large number of young men and women in the crowds. They loved these loud and open places that they were not bound by rules and without teachers around.

After hopping off the platform, the Prince hid in a quiet corner along with the First Prince and the little miss. Sasha E. did not like these sort of noisy atmosphere. She had hidden behind of Lobble all this time. This way, she could avoid most of the people that disturbed her in a way. Lobble truly liked this little miss of the Andrew Family. This was the thing he envied Oscar the most. In his eyes, Sasha E. was the perfect sister to a brother's heart. If Alanis could be the same as little miss, then he would care for her with all he was capable of.

But, there seemed to be another thing that Lobble envied his brother-in-law for. This guy was the youngest of the Andrew Family. From another standpoint, he was the most authoritative in some ways. His brother must let him do things and care for him! What about the First Prince? Lobb left the chair unwillingly. He saw that Lobmus had arrived.

Lobmus the uninvited guest seemed reluctant to deal with his older brother. He smiled without emotion as he congratulated his brother. It made Oscar at the side had goosebumps all over his body. Then, this Second Prince finally said the aim of his trip. He hoped to invite the little miss for a dance.

Sasha E. crinkled her cute little nose. She was extremely bad at dealing with this prideful guy. If ‘Walking Stick Torry' was a pervert, then Lobmus was the pervert among perverts! Don't be fooled by his straight and neat General uniform and his cold looks. In fact, the stories of this guy keeping his lovers in the dark could be gathered into an erotic novel. According to others, Lobmus had heard of a rumor from many overseas businessmen that at the faraway eastern country, an Emperor could use a city made of palaces to protect his shocking number of wives. Regardless of how true this rumor was, Lobmus looked forward to such a life as if he was possessed.

Oscar actually ignored the gaze of little miss searching for help. He quietly took note of the Second Prince that was selling his good looks. About how much this person could contribute in the future, Oscar believed he had seen enough of him.

Sasha E. at last still held Lobmus's arm. Even though she was unwilling, she would not present it in her expression on the surface. Sasha sighed lightly as she went to the dance floor. When.... When could she perform the Dance of the Narcissus for her beloved one without any restriction?

Looking at the room keys on the table, Oscar was a little absent-minded. According to that servant, this was given to him by a beautiful lady.

Lobble looked up from all kinds of documents (mainly menus). He was a little unwilling!

”Hey! Kiddo! I won't tell Alanis. What are you waiting for? Sitting there and not helping me. You should just go and do other things!”

Oscar replied. ”Rest assured. I already planned to leave you here all alone since a long time ago! Just that... This is my first time receiving this kind of invitation.”

”Then you should grab this chance! Alright! Go away! You men are not good things!”

Oscar felt a headache coming on. He understood a bit now. When Lobble played those games, he mostly took up the role of the opposite sex.

Snowstorm met up with the Prince at the walkway. ”It's alright. There is only the breathing of a woman in the room.”

”Are you sure?” Oscar asked without thinking.

As expected, the King of Assassins knitted his eyebrows. ”You don't seem to be that cautious usually. If you want to go in, just go. If there is an extra fly in there, you can see it as my miss.”

Oscar shrugged. He used his key to open the guest room. It was pitch black inside. Only the toilet door crack showed a dim light ray.

The sound of water was triggering the nerves of the man. It was the first time for the man to face this situation! An unknown invitation. An unknown room. An unknown woman... Oscar stopped by the door. He could hear his heart beating fast in his chest. The smell of water rushed towards him along with an unknown aroma. He breathed in greedily. Maybe he had not realized it yet. When the door was opened wide by a pair of strong hands, Oscar was stunned. He stared in confusion at his hands. It seemed that the brain was loyal to his subconscious.

”Ola!” Oscar spoke in a soft voice. The toile of this small guest room was without the wide bathtub. It only had a nozzle for a shower. The bamboo screen used to block vision was placed aside. A full and beautiful nude body was presented without any reserve in the sight of the man.

”Do I know you?” Oscar could only ask this.

The attractive nude body turned towards him immediately. Her long hair flew and water droplets splashed all over. It was a young lady. Her soft curve line showed magnificent bounce and seductive charm. Oscar avoided the gaze of the young lady. He took a wide bath towel.

The young lady covered her breast with her arms, but her effort was not able to cover the beautiful curve of her breasts. The Prince wiped her and used the bath towel to cover her tightly in the end.

”Rolanda, why are you doing this?” Oscar found a place to sit. He was also trying to hide. If he did not sit down, the high rise at his lower abdomen would expose his desire and lust.

”My father. You know him too. He promised Sukhoi Family. I had no choice.”

”I…;… I can't understand your situation. You are without emotions. I... I don't even know if you understand what you are doing now.”

Rolanda took the bath towel away. She used her blinding pure whiteness and grabbed Oscar's neck. She realized that the Prince could not take his gaze off her body at all. She was proud. She was absolutely satisfied!

”I know what I am doing and the consequence of what I am about to do. No matter if it is the Sukhoi Family or that sir, they can't accept my impurity. My fate of the next half of my life would be crueler than extreme cold.”

Oscar did not dare to speak. He had nothing to speak of.

”But I hope to give you my virginity. That will let me forget all about the troubles. Forget about anything....”

Oscar suddenly stood up. His desire was completely gone.

”Stop this! The God of Light would not allow this. Especially you, you are as pure as an angel. I will not let anything to defile you, not even myself. Don't worry about the marriage contract. If there is one person in this world that can influence your father, then that person will be me!”

After saying this, Oscar planned to leave, but he stopped by the door.

”This ring... It still suits you the best. Do you mind taking it once more? You know, I don't mean otherwise. It's just that it...”

”Hahahahahaha!”Rolanda suddenly laughed. She hid under the blanket and used the wide corner of the blanket to cover her face. But except that it made the laughter much deeper, it did not do much.

Just when Oscar thought if this lady had some mental issues, Rolanda suddenly pulled the blanket open to reveal a beautiful face that wore a light smile yet full of tear streaks.

”Hey! You were fooled!”

Oscar showed a dangerous expression. ”Can you make it clearer?”

”I am saying that you are fooled! My marriage contract is all bullshit. But I have attained my aim. You know how bad you look just now? Hahaha! I like to see you losing your soul for me!”

Oscar suddenly jumped onto the bed. He pressed down this girl that lied to him tightly. But he simply pursed his lip because he could not find the words to scold her.

”Why did you lie to me?”

Rolanda was pinned down, but she stared into Oscar's eyes fearlessly. She understood now. The thing she liked about him was his eyes. That color. That light. That aura that let her imagine she was devoured by it.

”I have already said it. I like to see you losing your soul for me! Moreover, this is your punishment for forgetting about me, but....” Rolanda took the ring that never left her from the hand of the young man. ”What truly satisfies me is that you are not as heartless as you seem to be. To guys like you, I should really knock you with a big stick, so that you will remember me forever!”

Talking about a big stick, Oscar still had a bit of a headache. O God of Light! There was a young lady right below him. He could feel her heat, her breath, her curves and her calls! Then...

”What... What do you plan to do?” Rolanda who had taken advantage all this while was finally a bit scared now. She knew this heavy guy on her was planning to do something bad.

”I remember that you are afraid of tickles! So... To people like you, I should just use my finger to touch you, so that you will remember me forever. Don't ever mess with me!”

Almost instantly, a sharp yell could be heard from the room and laughter began. Then, a sweet voice began to beg for mercy. Then, the heavy breathing had no intention to stop.

The King of Assassins shook his head outside the door and then nodded. ”It's nice being young!”

Oscar pulled the blanket open. He held the two tall mountains in his hands. The mountains seemed to be full of snow. Under the reflection of the light, the snowy tip began a wonderful wave. Oscar noticed at the top... the beacon at the top. Yeah! This description was absolutely wonderful! All he needed to do was to spark a fire right there.

The knocking on the door woke Oscar from the fiery imagination. The sounds from outside finally resumed. Oscar realized in surprise that people seemed to be screaming and running outside the door.

The sound of the King of Assassins sounded from outside.

”Your Highness, someone just started a fire!”
