After paying an exorbitant amount of money, we finally got ourselves a room. It was only one room but it was large enough for all of us.
It had three separate bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen but the last part is probably not going to be needed. We would all order room service anyway.
"Let's go check our room." I said to Alice who nodded and just as we were about to go up the stairs, a group of familiar faces stopped us.
"Henry!"
I looked up the stairs to see, Samantha calling but it wasn't her I was paying attention to. At the middle of the three people group stood Arthur who also looked at with a bit of shock.
As in the novel, the three had stayed in this sa hotel to stay, it was the sa again.
But unlike the reality, it wasn't shown in the story about how all the places were completely booked. Though it was still shown that Arthur had gotten the final room in Haven but he was the charismatic protagonist, so it was given.
I quickly take my eyes out of Arthur and greet Samantha, "Hey" I gave her a brief nod before smiling at Elizabeth, "Ms. Elizabeth."
Unlike the other two, I didn't have any strange relationship or situation with Elizabeth. With her, I was the guy who had single-handedly taken care of a mass number of assassins, effectively having a big hand in saving her father.
Which is why, she gave a big smile, "It's nice to see you here, Mr. Tax."
"Please call Henry and yes, it's nice to see you here too." I exchanged my words before quickly talking to Arthur, "Still why are all of you here, Arthur?"
"Huh… Well, the city is quite packed and this was the only place that we could find a room."
"Hmm" Elizabeth nodded in relief, "The receptionist gave us the last room they had. She was quite kind."
Ahh Elizabeth. How naïve you are. She didn't do it out of kindness. She did it to get into your lover's pants. But you're not bright in that category so Arthur just keeps on ntr'ing you until you could only accept his nature.
"Well… isn't that a strange thing. The girl said to us that she didn't have any room but when we called the manager he imdiately said there were a lot of rooms left." I said with a suspicious look, "I don't know about you guys but I think she was trying to put so coins in her purse."
Elizabeth felt horrified at my words, "Really! I can't believe she would actually do that. Then why did she… OH!" Her eyes brightened up imdiately as her eyes took a quick glance towards Arthur, who hid himself from them.
Understanding the situation, she quickly stopped herself and gave a strained smile, "Thanks for cautioning us about her… who knows what else she would have taken if you didn't tell us about her."
Hmm… she's not as stupid as I deem her to be, good for her.
"Henry, who is she?" Samantha pointed beside to Alice.
"That's Alice, a maid of mine." I introduced her as Alice gave a brief but respectful nod to them.
"It's nice to et the master's friends."
"Alright then, I'll see you guys later. We've been riding for a long ti so we're going to take so rest." I decided to cut our talk short.
Arthur and Elizabeth nodded, both showing amicable faces, hiding the inner turmoil, "I hope we see each other again." Elizabeth said.
Samantha looked at the strange situation and didn't understand what was happening. She felt a bit hurt that from the start to finish Henry didn't seem to talk to her one bit. But she couldn't complain when she knew it was her fault that placed her in such a situation.
She could reluctantly say bye to who just gave a nod.
As I was going up the stairs, suddenly I stop mid-point and call Arthur, "By any chance, you aren't participating in the competition tomorrow, right Arthur?"
The group stopped in their tracks at the ntion of the competition.
Arthur looked up at and had a shocked look as he said, "Ye- Yeah… how did you know?"
"Just a guess… well I'll see you tomorrow then." With that I left, leaving a confused group on the hall.
"What did he an by that?" Samantha asked.
"Hmm… I think he may be talking about spectating Arthur at the final test." Elizabeth thought for a mont and said.
'Yes, he could an that… but why does it feel like his aning had a different purpose.' Arthur thought whilst his eyes stayed at the door through which Henry walked away.
…
"Where is Jacob? Did that guy run away?" Alice said as she was left unpacking the luggage.
"I sent him away for sothing." I said while pulling out sothing that seed close to a lingeri-
"That's mine!" Alice quickly took it and hid it in her bosom as she blushed intensely. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
Well, look at that. The sly cat could actually blush.
Then suddenly, Alice turned and gave a smile, "But if you want, I can display this for you, master~"
Forget it, I spoke too soon.
Before she could proceed with her thought, the door to the room knocked making her click her tongue in annoyance.
"Who could it be at such an inappropriate ti?" Alice said, opening the door as her face turned cold faster than water, "Damn it! Should have known it would be you."
Jacob felt disturbed at such a welco, "What the hell got up your ass?"
"Don't speak such crude words to a lady."
"Lady?... if you're a lady then I'm gay!"
"Oh!" Alice covered her mouth with a grin, "No wonder you always stick with the maids… I'm sorry, I thought so worse of you these days. If only I had known before, we could have gotten matching sleepwear."
"You! You!... Fuc-… No, that would actually be a complint. Unfuck your whol-"
Before they could continue anymore, I placed my huge palm over both of their heads, effectively turning their head at my dark expression.
'Crack!'
