Mythran's Master Of All

Ren and Princess made it back to his county a few minutes later, and came to a stop in front of the Pleasure Palace. The draw bridge was already made and was down, and one of the dancers stood at the door. It was the manager that Ren had appointed the night before.

“Your servants are awesome!” She said. “They've already made the kitchen in the back tower, and the bar in the other back tower.”

“That's great.” Ren said. “Is there anything you need me to do?”

“You said you were going to set up the business part today?”

Ren nodded and opened the Land Owner menu, and added the Pleasure Palace as a business. He made it Player Only and Adult Only, added the appropriate warnings, and set the NPCs to ignore it. He closed that menu and stepped close to the building and received the building owner menu. He set the girls as owners, so that they all had equal access; then set it so that the manager was the only one that could add new people for both access and jobs.

“I've already got someone to provide ale on a regular basis.” Ren said and told her the name, and she added it to her business menu. “At least, I hope it's enough.” He said. “How many barrels of ale do you go through on a nightly basis?”

“At the Pink Pearl it just depended on the day.” She said. “The most was on the weekends, and we would go through 3 to 5 barrels a real life night.”

Ren nodded. “When do you plan on opening?”

“We really wanted to open tonight.” She said. “But with no food or ale...”

“I've got enough ale for tonight and tomorrow night, then.” Ren said and gave her 10 of the 25 barrels of sunflower ale he had. “Until you get a cook, just tell the customers the kitchen is closed.”

“The kitchen was going to be the big selling point.”

“Hot naked women isn't enough of a selling point?” Ren asked, and she chuckled.

“They all offer hot naked women.” She said. “We need a good hook to draw people in.”

“How about the castle theme?” Ren asked.

“It's different, and appropriate for the setting.” She said. “There's not a lot of-”

“What about wolf fur bikinis?”

“Wh-what?”

“I've got 30 wolf pelts soaking in treatment solution. It normally takes a day to dry, but I'll rig up something to make it go faster.”

“Wolf pelts.” She said. “You... want us to wear...”

“Not all of you...” Ren smiled. “...and probably only when you're serving drinks.”

“What about...”

“I'll have some nice outfits made by this evening.” Ren said. “Maybe even a cloak or two.”

“Well... I guess...”

“I'd tell you to trust me, but I'd rather you trust yourself and make this work.”

She nodded and Ren smiled at her.

“I've excluded NPCs from seeing the place, but you can still hire them for jobs to bypass that.”

“Oh, thank you.” She said. “I wasn't sure how to do that.”

“I'll get to work on those outfits after I deliver... oh, hey. You need to eat, too.” Ren said and took out his icebox. He gave her 12 plates of food and she stored them.

“Thanks!”

“I'll ask the locals if they have some ingredients they can spare, and then I'll see what I can whip up in the kitchen to last you the next few days until you get a regular cook.”

“That would be great.” She said.

Ren walked with Princess over to the Refugee Center, dropped off 30 meals there, and walked over to the Main House and put her inside. Teepo took flight and flew with Ren as he went around to the back of the building and the pelt treatment basin he had placed there. Ren quickly built a shed to hang the pelts in, then transferred them from the treatment solution to the shed.
