Chapter 25 The Major Hotel
Chapter 25 The Major Hotel
Floid and Alucard set out from the western part of Rivalle that day and traveled towards the eastern kingdoms. The kingdom where Travy was last seen was Trad, the trading kingdom that was filled with merchants. Travy was one of the best merchants there so he is usually treated like royalty among the humans. The mere thought of it made Floid chuckle!
Floid told Alucard that he shouldn't cause a scene in Trad. The two of them were going to blend in and find Travy without any issues. Alucard agreed easily since he didn't have any intention of embarrassing his master.
With the amount of money he had, Floid was able to impersonate a rich noble from another kingdom! He didn't need to change his appearance at all. Once you arrive in a big enough carriage and you look rich enough, nobody will even dare to ask you too many questions! Floid arrived at the Major hotel in Trad using a coach that had gold crafted into its edges. Once the hotel staff saw the coach they were all on edge!
This kingdom is a trading kingdom and almost every single person here can smell money for miles in every direction! From the coach along, they all could tell that Floid was stupid rich! Floid was welcomed by three butlers and three maids that lined up on both sides of his coach. He came down with Alucard behind him and the two of them walked into the hotel.
The maids and butlers were in awe of the handsome men that came to their hotel!
Alucard and Floid were undeniably handsome because of their heritage. Their skin was pale and smoother than any other person, but this just made their more attractive features stand out more! The hotel staff didn't know that the two of them were demons so they just thought that they were members of a prominent family!
Alucard wasn't recognized as a vampire because it is usually strange to see a vampire walking out in the sunlight. Alucard could walk under the sun without any problems at all so they just thought that he was paler than most other humans! And with a little bit of illusion magic to hide his fangs, he was indistinguishable! Meanwhile, Floid was someone that already looked human from head to toe even without illusion magic! He didn't have any distinguishing features that would make him look like a demon at all other than skin that was a little pale! That is the reason why Floid came here with just the two of them. No one will suspect them since they are the two that look closest to humans. Floid would have come here with Dragonnel but the dragon wasn't exactly the sort of person you would bring to a fancy hotel.
Floid and Alucard walked into the hotel and they were immediately greeted by a pretty receptionist that blushed heavily once she saw the two of them. Floid had red eyes and white hair and Alucard has red eyes and black hair. The contrast between the two of them made them look amazing when they stood side by side which only added to their appeal! The receptionist felt like she would die from blood loss!!
"H-Hello and welcome to the Grand Hotel. Will you like to book a room?'
Floid nodded with a smile and the receptionist had to quickly put a hand to her nose to make sure that she wasn't bleeding! He is too handsome! What the hell is this!? I've never even heard of a major house with men that are this handsome!s he from Aquaris? That is the only kingdom that people like this can come from! I heard that all of them there are very handsome so maybe this man is one of them!
"Yes. I'll like a suite on the third floor. Do you have a restaurant here?"
The receptionist quickly composed herself! She couldn't show her bad side to the guest! They might be handsome but she cannot allow that to affect her work!
"Yes! We have a restaurant on the second floor! You can come out every evening to enjoy our musical ensemble and also the special dishes that we have there are out of this world. Just let me sign you in and a caddy will take your bags to your room,"
Floid nodded and began to walk away while Alucard stayed back to handle the payment and luggage. Once Floid got to the room where he was supposed to stay he immediately fell to the bed tiredly. He hated smiling too much, it was such a bother!
That night, Floid got himself ready and finally went out of the room to finish this mission once and for all. Floid requested this room specifically because it was on the same floor where Travy was staying. In fact, Travy stayed in the room just two doors down from Floid and Alucard! Floid told Alucard to track Travy's movement and tell him when he leaves his room, and Alucard just informed Floidtaht Travy left his room two minutes ago to go to the restaurant!
The thing about imps was that they are all very gluttonous! An Imp can finish an entire farm's harvest in a single night if they sneak into your land! That is the reason why humans are usually trying their best to catch and kill imps! They were the most hated thieves in the demon world! But that same desire for food will drive Travy to constantly eat good food!
There is no way that the imp will miss out on the food that the restaurant has here! Floid got to the restaurant and almost everyone turned to glance at him and Alucard when they entered. Floid wore a white long coat over his white shirt and trouser, and he also had a black scarf around his neck. The white and black clashed against his hair and made his face stand out even more! He was undeniably handsome in the clothes that people were mesmerized! Floid ignored most of them and looked around to see where Travy would be. Ah, found you!
Floid quickly walked around tables and started making his way towards the man sitting alone at the back of the restaurant! Many of the major traders from around the world stayed in this hotel and they were also there to eat. They all hoped that Floid would stop at their table and join them. It would be a great boost if someone as rich as Floid joined them! They will be able to get a new powerful customer!
But once those traders saw the person that Floid was walking towards, they immediately lost all hope! The best trader in the world was the person that Floid wanted to talk to!? No wonder! He wouldn't even look at us if that man is here!
Floid stopped in front of a table filled with different kinds of food and he waited for Travy to look up from the plate of fish that he was devouring. Travy might be an Imp, but it seemed that the man forced himself to learn proper table manners. He was eating just like all of the other rich snobs in here so that he wouldn't draw attention to himself. Floid knows that imps are all very sloppy eaters, so for Travy to teach himself like this must've taken a lot of work!
"May I join you?"
Once Travy looked up, Floid said this with a smile. Travy was a rather tall man with a head of brown hair and also brown eyes. He had on a set of purple robes and he was holding a fork of fish halfway to his mouth as he stared at Floid.
Travy knew. Once he set eyes on Floid, Travy immediately knew exactly who this was! This is his lord and master. The demon king! But how did he find me!? Wait, no! I can't assume he knows I'm an Imp! He might just think that I'm a businessman! I have to keep up the act! He can't see through my illusion magic that easily!
"Of course sir! My name is Keith, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance!"
Travy decided that the best course of action is to bluff and hope for the best!
