City of Desire Novel Chapter 639: Seductress I

Tara Veyrault

"He ca, finally," said Barb as a large entourage of people entered the legacy compound with a large carriage train.

There were so many people I could barely see him.

"Thankfully, we will be able to leave now!" I replied.

The Bathhouse is a beautiful place, a heaven no less, but I miss ho badly.

We have been here for months, and due to this prince, the trip was extended further by a few weeks. Now that he has co, we will attend the party tonight and leave tomorrow.

Although, before that, I have to do sothing. Sothing perilous.

We had finished all our objectives, including the most important one: the master's blood.

It still made

ashad. It was my responsibility, but Barb had to finish it for . It is why I have to be successful today.

It is not part of our mission but sothing I am doing on my own. Extre caution is necessary, and Madam Caena personally warned

not to do it if I felt the slightest doubt.

"I will see you later," said Barb before walking to the exit of the villa's roof.

I nodded and turned to the sea. It's beautiful, and I will miss it a lot.

I stayed on the roof for an hour before climbing the stairs to my suite.

I have done everything here. I have explored the island and shopped. I have bathed in nearly every pool of Tranquill Bathhouse and taken every type of bath.

I even visited a few neighboring islands and spent a few nights there.

It is a paradise, but I am getting bored of it. It's not ho. Greltheaven isn't big, and there are not as many things to do there as there are here, but it is ho.

There is always sothing to do there. Girls to talk to, people to seduce.

I love what I do. Watching the n who had barely any interest in

beco obsessed with

gives

a thrill and makes

feel powerful.

For this reason, I have not accepted the position of Madam. I will one day, but not right now. I want to keep seducing the most challenging.

Maybe, and maybe, find love. It's hard for a whore, but I kept hope in my heart.

With nothing to do, I closed my eyes, with the beautiful view as a backdrop, and fell asleep.

Knock Knock!

I was woken up by the knock. I imdiately got up and opened the door. The other side is Rexy, the trainee.

"Madam Barb had asked

to wake you up," she said. I looked at the clock before turning to the woman before . "Thank you, Rexy," I thanked.

The woman smiled and walked away while I turned back to my room.

It is past five, and we must be at the party at eight, but Barb knows very well. That, when I sleep in the afternoon, I remain sleepy for hours after waking up.

She sent Rexy at the right ti. By eight, all this sleepiness should disappear.

I went to the bathroom and showered before coming out.

I nearly stumbled over one of the gifts. I have received a lot of gifts, and I already packed, but these are different. They are the most expensive ones, but they co from a single person.

I am conflicted about whether to take these gifts ho and have them returned to the person after I leave.

I shook my head of those thoughts and lay on the bed. I stayed there until seven when I got up and walked toward the make-up studio on the villa's first floor.

Click!

When I arrived, I saw all three of them already there. Mrs. Rand and her three assistants were working on them.

Mrs. Rand is below Eudo. She handles a whole floor, but she was sent here with us. It is a critical mission, and looking beautiful is one of our greatest weapons.

I removed my clothes and wore a robe before letting them work on .

"I have never seen a prince. I am very excited," said Gloria, and the girl looked as excited as a girl her age should have been.

In brothels, girls mature early. Gloria did, too, but since Master Silver took over, she has let her child self out more. Even after she beca madam, she let it out now and then.

Though mostly spontaneously, she quieted down as she did and put a serious expression on her face.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not ant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"So are we," replied Barb. We are whores, we have no business with princes. A few princes had co to cities I had been in, but we never got a chance.

First, the madams would rarely let us leave to see the prince, and more importantly, the city guards would throw us away when they sensed our class.

"I was lucky enough to see four princes. Including the emperor," added Mrs. Rand.

She didn't seem too impressed by them. For people like us, princes are far above us; we have no relation to them, but tonight, it will change.

"Rember, you all are representing the Velvet Garden. I want you all to behave at the party in the best way," advised Barb.

Soon, I got out of the chair and removed my robe. Miss. Rand's assistance begins to apply shimr across my body.

Others didn't do that. They applied it, but not to the whole body. I need it, especially today.

Makeup and clothes are my armour. They give

the confidence to walk into the world, and today, I need to be the most confident person I can be.

Soon, she finished with makeup and brought out the dress. It is bright red, seductive, with a deep neckline and beautiful lacework that shows hints but doesn't reveal everything.

n liked it. It makes them want to see everything.

Unlike , Gloria and Barb had worn the toga, while Rexy wore a fusion of dress and toga.

I wore the dress, and she put jewelry on . It was a beautiful diamond necklace and earrings. In my hair, she put pins of realistic-looking roses made of ruby and other precious gems.

I turned to the mirror as they finished.

Teachers say seduction should be subtle, like a gentle wind in the moonlight. I disagree. To , it is like shining the sun on the brightest day.

It should be direct. Bright enough that one would feel it even with closed eyes.

I never hid my intentions when I seduce. It is more challenging but also enjoyable.

"Let's go," said Barb, as the clock reached near eight. I felt them activating their skills, making them more beautiful and graceful.

Drape of Seductress.

I also activated my skill, which I got when I reached level 30. It enhances clothes and makeup, which, in turn, makes

more confident in myself.

Soon, we reached the venue. It is the bathhouse.

"Welco, mbers of Velvet Garden," welcod Lady Aardwyn. Rylan is here, along with his mother and the bathhouse manager. His father isn't here.

This is good because, since that incident. Things have beco tense with him and Barb.

He declined to et with her at his weekly etings, so I replaced her with all our interactions with him. Still, so encounters were unavoidable and made things awkward.

"Thank you, Lady Aardwyn," replied Barb, and we entered inside.

I imdiately felt hundreds of eyes. Thousands of people were invited; many had co to the island, especially to attend this party.

I could see a lot of familiar faces, but many unfamiliar.

We had just walked inside when a man in his early fifties approached us. He was handso, with an enviable physique and large dreadlocks hanging to his shoulders.

"I was waiting for you to descend to the party, Miss Utsa," he said to Barb with a smile.

"Madams," he greeted us before turning to her.

He is Malanth Drakon, a rcenary leader and a Lv. 40

powerhouse. He ca to the island a little over a month ago to rest and relax after a mission.

"Mr. Drakon, it is nice to see you again," replied Barb with a smile.

He is an important man. He is not the kingdom's citizen; nobody knows where he is from.

He has been a rcenary from a young age and is based in Oton, but he also does missions on other continents, including Zenid.

He has been there many tis. He offers the services of a large rcenary company that many kingdoms desire.

"It is I who is happy, Miss Utsa." He replied before putting his hand in his bag. "I even got this for us," he added, and a clay bottle appeared in his hand. Seeing it, Barb's eyes lit up.

The man is interested in Barb, but he is more interested in her ability to drink. They had even sparred; Barb ca back with broken bones and a smile on her face.

Seeing him taking out glasses in the middle of the party, I shook my head and walked away.

The others separated as well. Going to a different way.

"Miss Tara,"

I had just walked away when I heard my na being called out. Hearing the voice, irritation flashed in my eyes, but I stopped and forced a smile as I turned.

Soon, a man appeared in front of , about my age. Handso, with thick curly hair.

"Lord Myrrwa," I greeted the man. "I have told you many tis, Miss Tara. You can call

Laodis," said the man, wanting to co a little closer but stopping when he saw

ready to step back.

"You are a Lord, my lord; I cannot do that," I replied politely.

I love to seduce and revel in their worship, but not in infatuation—especially the kind this man has.

I had ways to deal with it, but this man's father is powerful, and I am in a foreign land. I would rather not do sothing that would displease him.

"Did you get my present? I had it made, especially for you," he asked. "It's a beautiful gift," I replied with a small smile.

It is indeed a beautiful gift, and I love gifts, but seeing his obsessive infatuation. I returned his first gift, but he sent it back.

I sent it back again, but he once more returned it to .

Since then, I simply accepted the gifts and avoided him as much as possible.

I could do it during most days since we have our own guards aside from those from the kingdom. They can make excuses, but it is hard at the parties.

"Miss Tara, I am throwing a big party on my island. I want you to attend," he invited.

Till now, it was an invitation to the parties in his manors here on the island with the Bathhouse, but now he had invited

to his island. Yes, he has an island and more than one.

His family controls one of the most prosperous islands in Dorus's dominion.

"I can't, Lord Myrrwa. I am leaving tomorrow," I replied, and the way his expression changed was genuinely satisfying.

We have kept the date of our leaving secret. Very few people know about it.

"So early!" he said, with his voice reaching higher.

"Miss Tara, you must stay! I can provide you with everything here. You will want for nothing and have every luxury for yourself," he insisted, and I wanted to roll my eyes.

The man is so infatuated that he even contacted Velvet Garden to buy my contract.

Sister Margaux said he had offered a lot of money for it. I was shocked by the amount, but not the length, of his willingness to get what he wanted.

Extre infatuation is like that. It is what makes it so dangerous.

"Thank you for the kind offer, Lord Myrrwa, but Greltheaven is my ho, and I am already missing it dearly," I replied with a smile.

"Miss Tara, I." He aggressively ca close, and I finally had enough of it. I was about to use the skill when Barb arrived beside .

"Lord Myrrwa," she greeted before turning to . "Tara, co. I have to introduce myself to soone," she said, and we moved.

He watched with an open mouth and was about to follow but stopped, feeling a few eyes on him.

"Thank you for the rescue," I thanked. "Of course," she replied with a smile.

As I said, the man is powerful, and I wouldn't want to use that skill on him. It would have displeased him, and that is a bad thing.

I heard things about him, and those things were not good.

True to her words, Barb introduced

to soone important and then another person before we separated again.

I kept an eye on him, never letting him get too close.

I am very good at it, especially in the legacy. It might not be a velvet garden, but I still know how to hide in the mist.

Soon, it was nearly ten, and a drum rang out. It imdiately silenced the whole party, and we turned toward the entrance.

The prince is about to make an entry.
