Chapter 165: THE TRUTH BEHIND THE MATTER
George had met a merchant for business. He had gone to the brothel on the request of a business partner from another kingdom.
The kingdom the merchant was from was notorious for indulging in pleasures, even when discussing business.
George agreed, telling the man in advance that even though he had agreed to his choice of venue, he wouldn’t be served by the courtesans and would only watch the dancers with him.
After quite some conversation between him and his business partner, one of the courtesans approached and served wine to them.
She picked up a glass of wine and handed it to the merchant, then began her work on his business partner, the both of them laughing at whatever they were talking about.
George ignored them, watching the dancers with disinterest, before averting his gaze and focusing on his drink. He couldn’t wait for their business meeting to be done with so that he could make the trip home as soon as possible.
However, after a few drinks, he began to feel tipsy which was odd as he wasn’t one to get drunk easily. He was drunk moments later.
He could vaguely hear the amused voice of his business partner as he said, "Hoho! I knew you were jesting, Marquis, when you said you would only watch the dancers..."
He felt like the voice was drifting away, but he was the one moving. His body heated up with a speed that was not normal.
"Let me help you, my lord." A woman held his arm, leading him to a room.
"Charlotte." George stared at her, following her.
