Chapter 14: CHAPTER 13
After buying the place, and having the deeds in my possession, I realized the wealth difference, I had just bought a whole building with staff for only 400 small gold coins, however, Emilse gave me a dimensional bag worth 100 small gold coins as a gift.
I could only laugh ironically, when taking into account that my entire business only cost 4 of these bags, but I soon recovered, I couldn't start that way. With the title of the property I went to the guild of businesses and merchants to register my business.
The process was simple, I just filled out a form before paid 5 small silver coins, and it was registered. The problem was the taxes, this type of business had to pay 10% of their income, not from profits, but from income, which was too much.
But I get the point, this business is frowned upon by the general public, at least on the surface, as there are more and more of these businesses, which means no one is really against it.
The good thing is that I only have to pay it from the moment I start business and since I did not plan to open my brothel right away I would be exempt from taxes for one or two months until I organize everything.
With this in mind I went to the brothel, the old man was waiting for me there, all the employees were gathered, apparently the old man had explained the situation to them, when I entered the room they all got up and greeted me, "Welcome master".
I attended with satisfaction, at least they had this education which was good, I did not want to meet resistance in this place just starting, after a brief introduction, the old man left, leaving me alone with the employees who had expressions of concern.
First, I observed each one of them, the 5 courtesans looked young, which was good, the bad thing is, that, above all their inexperience was noticeable, the kitchen assistants were 3 ladies already in their 40s, they did not look old, but they do look a little plump and of little sexual attractiveness.
Finally the two guards, they were two men of about 30 years, with height similar to mine and somewhat stocky, my first thought was, "They had a good appearance".
The kitchen maids and guards were marked slaves, these are the ones who had a special tattoo drawn on their body that prevents them from disobeying or betraying their master and the contract authority was transferred to me, so I don't have to worry about their loyalty.
On the other hand, the courtesans were known as unmarked slaves, unlike the previous ones, they do not have the special tattoo, so in a certain way they are free, however, they were bought by the last owner and must be under his orders, however, as a new owner, they are now under my comant, until I want to release them or they pay their debt.
The difference between the two "slaves" is great, the first ones cannot disobey and their only way to be free is decition form their master in this case that will be me.
This almost never happens, on the other hand, the second ones cannot be considered slaves, they are rather used with mandatory employment contract to be fulfilled.
After some words of welcome, I told them to go back to their jobs, I also told them, that, I would speak with them individually later, as I had to review some things, so they should not prepare for today as they would be with the doors closed for a while.
Everyone was surprised, but they still left, while I walked to the office and began to see the account books in order to find out the financial situation of the business.
While I was reading, I was surprised by the fact that the business was not bad, I did not earn a million, but I was leaving a minimum profit, however, when I continued reviewing, I realized what was happening.
The brothel registered 10 courtesans and now there were only 5, the old man had sold the best courtesans to other brothels and those who remained were the new and inexperienced ones, the oldest in buissnes had not even been working for 3 months, I could not help but laugh at helplessness, this would be a bigger challenge than I thought.
After reviewing everything, I began the interviews individually with each of the employees, I started with the members of the kitchen.
There was nothing strange there, the ladies fell into slavery due to bandits who attacked their village, they were not chefs of any kind, only housewives who know housework, which is convenient for cooking and cleaning.
After listening to their story, I only assured them, that they would be treated well and whenever they did a good job, they would be rewarded, so they left the office relieved and even with a smile on their faces.
Continue with the guards, their names were Carlos and José, their situation was similar, they were slaves of war, in a nutshell they were on the losing side of a battle and fell into slavery, after promising them the same as the kitchen personal, they left.
Finally, I went to the courtesans, with them I took a little more time, because I had to confirm many things, their stories were similar, sold by family members without resources or captured by bandits and sold as courtesans, so I did not dwell much on that topic.
What I wanted mainly was to evaluate their attributes, experience and confirm their contracts, as I already mentioned, courtesans can buy their freedom and for that an amount is established.
The first to enter is called Atna, she is a 20-year-old girl, thin with white skin, her face is average, although she has some attractiveness, her small mouth with pink lips, her hair is dark brown to her shoulders, breasts small and poorly shaped ass, although with long legs that make her seem taller than she is.
She has been working as a courtesan in the brothel for a month, she has little experience both in the delicacy of dealing with clients and in the sexual sphere, which is the perfect combination for a courtesan disaster.
However, I couldn't complain, now I had to work with what I had, so I told her that starting tomorrow I would train her, so shemust be ready.
I also reminded her, her contract that established the sum of 200 small silver coins, and that, this month of work she had only earned 5 large bronze coins, of which she only earns 5%.
With all this said, Atna had a sad expression, honestly that made me feel bad, but I also knew that, I could not be soft-hearted about this, I had already psyched myself up for the atrocities of this world and to fulfill my goal of ascending, I needed be strong handed.
I wouldn't be a complete bastard, though, if I had to be picky, that's why I had to tell her like it is, and when I was about to speak again, she said with a forced smile, "At least the master is a handsome young man and not an old wrinkled man".
I couldn't help to laugh out loud, what she said had a certain truth.
Although in their services, they will have to attend some old men, it is very different to do it once in a time than being trained by one every day, so I consoled her by saying, " Don't worry, I don't mean to treat any of you badly, I'll just demand your best effort and commitment".
Atna, listening to my warm consolation, put on an authentic smile and left the office in a better mood, then, the second girl came in, her name is Kidy, and like Atna she is 20 years old with a similar story, in fact her contract is the same.
Kidy was a little shorter than Atna, her attributes were similar, small breasts, poorly shaped butt, long legs, common face, but her hair was a little longer, getting to her lower back, and it is black.
She worked in the brothel a month ago in the same way, but her earnings were higher, she had won 8 large bronze coins. After telling her the same thing as Atna, she left the office calmly.
The third girl is called Sonia, she is 22 years old unlike the previous ones, she looked more mature, although her face had nothing special, only shoulder-length blonde hair that attracted attention.
Her figure was nothing special either, but she had better curves than the previous two, average size breasts, a small, but shapely butt, and thick legs, however, I could see that she had a little abdominal fat, but nothing extreme.
She had been working in the brothel for 2 months, earning 2 small silver coins, according to her contract she had to pay 300 small silver coins to regain her freedom, but unlike the previous ones she receives 10% of the income.
In the same way, I gave her the notice that the others received, so she left letting in the fourth girl who is called Dami and is 21 years old, unlike the others she is energetic and curious, in fact, she is the only one who was not sold, she was here on her own initiative.
Her face has a cute expression like a small animal, her height is short, at least shorter than the previous 3, her hair is shoulder-length black, her figure is normal, breasts of average size, abdomen with little fat, and ass well formed, although small.
Since, she is here on her own initiative, she does not have a contract and she is the best paid, since she receives 15% of what she earns, however, she has a 1-year work agreement, which has only been 2 months and she has achieved 8 large copper coins for business at that time.
Since she was so energetic, I was jovial with her by informing her of tomorrow's training and other warnings I gave to the other girls, but she just laughed and left excitedly, I could only shake my head helplessly at her attitude.
Finally, the fifth girl is called Sally, and she is 20 years old, she is the shortest among all of them, which makes her look very young, plus her innocent face helps that image, she has light brown hair up to her neck with white skin, but what surprised me the most, was her breasts.
They were not as big as Doris's, however, they were the largest of the 5 girls, and thanks to her small height, they were very noticeable, this made me confused, since I did not remember them like this in the meeting a while ago, which I didn't know was that, being shorter than the others, it went unnoticed in my sight at that moment.
Despite her cuteness, she is not shy, she has been in the brothel for 2 months, and has earned 5 small silver coins, of which she keeps 10%. Also, according to her contract she needs to pay 500 small silver coins to regain her freedom.
At the end of the interviews with all of them, there was a knock on my door, one of the ladies from the kitchen brought my dinner. After eating, I went to my room to rest, because tomorrow I had a long and heavy day ahead of me.
