Chapter 48
Elliott had already been sat down in the middle of a person sofa when he realized he was sitting right in front of some iron bars. Rachel was sitting inside her cell, wearing an unusually heavy amount of makeup and a dark dress that showed off her chest.
“Welcome, Elliott. You haven’t stopped by our shop lately, so I was getting lonely.”
“No, I just saw you yesterday!? What is this!? What are you up to this time!?”
“What.....as you can see, it’s a cabaret.”
Elliott shook his head when his senses came back to him.
“You, a cabaret..........what the hell are you thinking.........”
“Well! If it’s like this, what do you think I am thinking about Elliott?”
“I don’t know damn it! I can never figure out what’s going through that skull of yours!”
Rachel made a pleasant laugh while clapping her hands together.
“Since my friends came to visit me, I thought we could play a game together.”
“Why would you play at being a cabaret club when your friends visit............and who would go along with that...........”
“Ah, that’s right. I need to introduce you Elliott!”
Rachel made a grand gesture as if she were truly the hostess for a club and motioned to the two women leaning on Elliott’s shoulders.
“Today in charge of handling Elliott’s comfort we have our store’s pride and joy newcomers. On Elliott’s left we have Eliza who cut off her boyfriend’s head after he betrayed her. And then on your right, we have Sofie who hung her cheating husband from a high place and nudged him forward.”
“I’m going home”
“Now-now-now-now”
Elliott tried to stand up, but the two girls on both sides of him hit the back of his knees and forced him back down.
“Come now Elli. You’re going to hurt our feelings leaving without even having a single cup.”
“That’s right Elli. You can’t rush out of here before even having three cups.”
Elliott had two older women on both sides of him coming onto him. The s*x appeal was too strong, only outdone by that soft feeling casually being pressed onto both arms.
“Ah, um, you’re both older than me, but calling me Elli is a little..........”
Elliott tried feebly fighting back using the apparent disrespect to royalty as an excuse, but Rachel’s carefree voice drowned him out.
“Ah, there’s no problem there. These two would also be considered, ‘Your Highness’ where they come from as well.”
“What are you making royalty from other countries do!?”
Elliott was being completely held down against his will. He really wanted to get up and leave, but the women around him were skillfully holding him down where he could barely move.
He stiffened as the beautiful women on both sides of him tried happily taking his order.
“Elli, what would you like to drink? How does a proof vodka sound? You could be seeing heaven after a single drink?”
“No, I’m fine!”
“Well, perhaps you’d prefer something lighter?”
“S-Sure!”
Elliott already felt like a mouse between a couple of lions licking their lips. If he were to get some strong alcohol and become drunk like this.........it’d be over!
Elliott shook his head as he started to sweat. The beautiful older woman to his right then called back.
“Some Dom Perignon all around!”
“Thank you very much~!!”
“Just a moment!?”
Elliott involuntarily shouted out in response to the chorus of women’s voices that rose up.
“Didn’t I just ask for something light!?”
“Oh my, but shouldn’t the amount and price be irrelevant?”
“Sure but!? That’s right but!?”
“So we can’t give someone with such a fine palette as the Prince any kind of cheap alcohol.”
“You’re right about that too but!? That certainly makes sense..........!?”
Elliott is the first prince, so naturally he almost never worries about the price whenever he makes any purchases........which was why this country’s greatest noble daughter was currently ripping him off. At these prices, you could trade this alcohol in for a house.
While Elliott was mumbling to himself about any reservations he had, a Prison Guard whose eyes had completely glossed over after he escaped from reality came in pushing a cart.
So many champagne bottles, and a pyramid made from glasses that extended upward towards the ceiling.
“Alright then let’s get started.”
“HOLD ONnnnnnnnnnnn!?”
Elliott tried stopping the woman who had begun climbing a step ladder and reached out towards the topmost cup.
“Didn’t I say, ‘something light’!? So why are we suddenly bringing out a tower of champagne!?”
“Because we’re a high-class luxury business used even by royaltyyou. We need to bring out the highest grade alcohol if we are going to produce the highest grade hospitalityharassment.”
“And the money for all of this!?”
“High-class customers shouldn’t worry about things like that.”
A beautiful yet expressionless woman ignored Elliott’s attempts to stop her and used both hands to start pouring some champagne into the topmost glass. Because of how high the tower was, she had to open another bottle, and then another one after that. When the tower was completely glowing gold like a bright chandelier, the girls all raised a cheer.........while Elliott was already feeling groggy.
“I order something light and you bring out the highest grade alcohol.........what an awful rip-off..........”
“It’s not a rip-off because you’re properly enjoying the product.”
The expressionless womanSophia gave a calm reply, but Elliott no longer had the will to complain anymore.
Unaffected by Elliott’s mood, Margaret let out some honest praise looking upon a spectacle she’d never seen before.
“Absolutely amazing! Elliott, may I drink some too!?”
“Sure, yeah, drink as much as you’d like...........”
No longer in the mood to drink, Elliott spent his time taking measured sips of champagne every once in a while. That was fine since ‘Eliza’ and ‘Sofie’ were more than happy to drink his share. Their cheeks were already starting to turn red, and they started drunkenly poking Elliott’s arms.
“Ufufufufu. After all the effort Elli put into coming to visit us, how about we play a game?”
“Eh? Um, but playing a game like this........”
Elliott didn’t brag about it, but because he had Margaret, he had never gone drinking in a*****e with girls like this before.
“That’s right~, it’s a simple game........oh, and really easy too.”
Eliza made a sweet smile.
“Elli, I will go ahead and poke you with the edge of your saber? If you don’t die, then you win.”
She was smiling so sweetly, but there was nothing sugary about those eyes of hers.
“No!? Tha-That’s a little difficult for me!”
“I wonder~”
As Elliott tried desperately to refuse, Sofie who was sitting beside him clapped her hands together.
“That’s it, we have to get Elli something to sit on.”
Sofie started to laugh happily while starting to poke Elliott all over his body.
“How about calling it Elli’s Close Call? All Elli will have to do is sit down in a barrel. That’s all, and then the girls will take turns stabbing the barrel with knives with the girl who delivers the killing blow being the winner. I suppose Elli will be the winner if you survive though right?”
She was laughing happily, but her eyes weren’t getting the joke.
“No, wai, such a......!? ...........Nobody would want such a terrible game!?”
Desperately taking a look around the store.........
“Wow~, how fun!”
“I want to go first!”
“Just a moment, you can’t just take being first so seriously you know!? We have to spread it out, make sure that everyone gets a turn!”
All the girls in the store were getting excited. Some of them had already started pulling out their own sabers rather than short knives.
“Oi Rachel, what’s with these people!?”
Although he had never been to a cabaret before, this was definitely not how cabaret’s are supposed to work. Even a naive man like Elliott could figure that out.
But Rachel seemed to be having a grand time while drinking her own champagne.
“Huh, didn’t I say before? All of our hostesses are subordinates of Eliza or Sofie. They’re all also young ladies who have been forced to go through hard times because of their fiancees.”
“So why are they all here!?”
“For Elli of course.”
“Damn, somebody help........”
Elliott suddenly remembered that he had brought his subordinates with him and hastily started looking around him............
“George!”
George was completely blue in the face with Alexandra leaning against his shoulder insulting him.
“Ufufufu, does George come to these kinds of places often?”
“No, this is my first time! Honest!”
“But, you’re curious aren’t you? Should I tell your parents about your amazing night life?”
“Id- Don’t say anything stupid!? I’d never do something so stupid!”
“Speaking of which, I found a lovely carat black diamond being sold.”
“Y-You want me to buy it!? But, the price is a little........”
“Well, then perhaps a month confined to doing foreign affairs might help?”
“Let’s buy it tomorrow! No of course, that doesn’t mean I hate work!?”
“S-Sykes!”
Sykes was already dead inside as Martina fawned over him while sitting in his lap.
“Does Sykes often come to places like this? I’ll get angry if you say you have an active nightlife.”
“..........no, I’ve broken all contact...........”
“Hufufu, I’m just joking with you. Ah, Alexandra seems to be getting getting a black diamond. How nice, I’m, just a little jealous.”
“Oh, would you like some new jewelry? What, what would you like me to buy............?”
“Is it okay!? Well then, our marriage certificate”
“..................So a black diamond, or maybe even carats...........”
“Our marriage certificate”
“How about I buy you a gorgeous necklace!? Or, perhaps something you can wear in your hair!?”
“Our marriage certificate”
“No, not Wolanski too.........”
Wolanski was off drinking with Haley who just so happened to be wearing some ruby red lipstick and a tight-fitting dress.
“That’s right, His Highness doesn’t watch his feet so he always makes a big show of tripping himself up!”
“Ooki!”
“Oh yes, he does it quite often. And one time, he was so flustered that when he stood up, he stuck his head right into the rear-end of a horse!”
“Ookikiki!”
“Hahahahaha!”
“Why are you the only one having a good time here drinking with a monkey!?”
Rachel casually tilted her head as Elliott wearily screamed towards the ceiling.
“Hey Elliott, your complexion looks a little bad.”
“Oh, I wonder why my complexion has started looking bad!”
“You know that if you drink alcohol with an empty stomach, you’ll get drunk faster don’t you?”
“That’s not it!? How could I get drunk in this cold atmosphere!?”
Rachel pointed towards Wolanski.
“Wouldn’t it be better to fill your belly like that one over there?”
Wolanski had just ordered a large plate of fruit.
“Here you go Henry, eat as much as you’d like.”
“Ooki!”
“Isn’t he giving the fruit away though?”
