"Young lady, prince Julius is here to accompany." He announced from outside the bedroom
Zhi Rui walked out of her room, she greeted the guard with a graceful nod
At the front gates, prince Julius was waiting by the carriage, He put on an astounded expression as Zhi Rui neared. Shizu his blonde female knight opened the door of the carriage. Zhi Rui looked at Julius and wihtout saying a word boarded the carriage
Julius dazedly went to his own carriage. Shizi followed sighing after him
As the carriages reached the place, Zhi Rui saw the people spread throughout the area it seemed it was a day of the festival.
Zhi Rui got off the carriage, her guards hurriedly followed her as she climbed the stage made of wood. Standing beside the entrance to the community center. she looked at the place it had short walls so she could see from the stage. 'Simple and straightforward the soldiers did a good job'
She looked at the more the thousands of people waiting for her to speak. they all heard rumors of a lady coming to fight for them, they doubt it.
But ultimately they hoped it was the truth so they came today.
Before the prince could step into the stairwell to go beside her, Zhi Rui started to speak. Her energy amplifying her voice.
"Today I come here, to tell you, to show you. That there's still hope for life."
Seeing the people looking at her attentively Julious awkwardly stood back and let her alone on the podium.
Zhi Rui kept her eyes at the people she waved her hands as if encompassing the whole lot of them
"I came to show all of you That you can also live instead of just surviving!"
Pointing at the slums Zhi Rui proclaimed
This side of the city was neglected and abused for the greed and whims of the powerful! Today I open an institute for the young ones of the slums to study, eat and learn about society. They'll learn how to produce and help their community! Here, they'll have a chance for actual life. And when they graduate from here in the future, they'll be able to help me in the reform of this slums.
and for some of them, they'll be able to fight against the violence and wild theft on the slums themselves."
At the people face, there was hope, but doubt still remains.
Zhi Rui turned solemn
"'But how I'll do that?' None of you asked but I can see that written on your faces."
Zhi Rui brought a finger to the sky
"First, you'll learn how to read and how to do basic math and logic.
Second, you'll learn about history and politics how a country function."
After learning these basic skills, we'll offer a place for people to learn how to manipulate iron and wood, we'll teach how business works.
but most important is the safety for you to come here and learn and go back to your home safely, so from starts we'll take man and woman to do a test if you pass you'll be the first brigade safeguarding the slums.
the salary is a gold coin per month.
The people gasped, seeing that they did not hear wrong they cheered loudly. They all clapped and screamed.
Zhi Rui smiled at them. She looked behind her at the daughter of Izaya.
Izumy was a little nervous but she nodded with conviction.
Zhi Rui laughed carefree manner.
She looked back at the people
"There'll be a hundred different classes of for lecture, each class fits a hundred students. Now it's a small number for the size of the slums but we'll soon have more rooms to spare.
Zhi Rui gestured to the closed gates
"Now come! for your new future!"
They cheered as one and practically ran to the gates the soldiers were organizing them and direct them to the tables for registrations.
Zhi Rui looked a the people's frenzy and smiled.
'Creating better living condition will create satisfaction, by consequence they will strengthen me to no end.'
Zhi Rui got off the podium and saw the prince.
His face was twitching, 'it isn't weird after all he was the one that gave it to her, he probably felt bad for not gaining his attention.'
Zhi Rui hid her smirk to herself and embraced him with teary eyes.
"Thank you, Prince, now I can finally start to change somethings myself."
Still holding him she looked at his eyes. Then as if realizing what she did, she hurriedly took her hands back. "I-I'm sorry your grace I j-just got a little emotional.
With a blush on her face, she smiled sheepishly at him.
She turned around and hurriedly entered to her own carriage.
Shizu looked at Julius rooted on the spot and snorted "fell in love?"
Julius snapped back to reality "Ha! did you see the blush on her face? I think I'm already conquering her."
Shizu rolled her eyes at him.
Awkwardly Prince Julius went to his carriage, inside he put a hand on his chest feeling his heartbeat "What the hell was that?" he thought.
----------
Walking lightly but fast, Zhi Rui entered her carriage without talking or looking at anyone.
She started to taping her finger on the couch inside the carriage, her eyes dazed.
'The community center is an open positive institution, it's not easy to attack it without dirting themselves so father will not make a move against it'
As for the brothel... Hilda already organized the work, but she's alone. In the first days she can handle it but I'll need more people soon.
Zhi Rui nibbled her nails.
---------
Reaching the manor, Zhi Rui walked fast, Zhin Zhin now her personal maid came close to her "Young miss eveyrhting you asked is in your room.
Zhi Rui nodded.
Inside her bedroom Zhi Rui locked the doors, took her clothes off and lied down on top of her cushions, she calmed her breathing, put on a lazy smile, poured herself wine and start eating grapes, she then threw a hope rock in front of her.
Hilda soon appeared.
"How's it going?" Zhi Rui asked
Hilda looked at her eating grapes for a second and answered "Miss, the brothel is ready to work."
Zhi Rui looked at Hilda "Both lines of work?"
Hilda nodded
"The one in charge of the public part will be two known courtesans I manage to get. One will handle the people who willingly came to work from the slums. And one will take care of the finances. As for the other part of the brothel.
Hilda hesitated "The slaves are ready and so am I. But by going after the nobles like this we will be poaching a great part of the market."
Zhi Rui put a grape in her mouth, she chews it raising an eyebrow "And?"
Hilda sighed "The brothel was purchased in your brother's name, and it's not difficult to track were their customers had turned to. that'll put pressure on the general."
Zhi Rui gave a 'tell me something I don't know' look
She stopped eating. Got up slowly and went near the image of , looking directly at Hilda's eyes.
"Precisely because it's in my brother's name they won't carelesly attack you, so do not worry about your safety and focus on the task at hand. That is, Make the customers feel safe, valued, and most of all, not judged. if you can make them feel like that they'll come back and eventually they'll lower their guard to us."
Saying so Zhi Rui took the hope rock from the ground.
--------------
Hilda stared where the image of Zhi Rui was.
She observed Zhi Rui's body carefully, her muscular mass grew but so did her eating habits making her more voluptuous without looking manly, Hilda did not have feline eyes for anything, she sees that inside that body Zhi Rui cultivated her physical strength to the maximum her cultivation allowed her.
Hilda sighed 'What a beautiful sight'
Getting up from the darkroom, Hilda walked all the way to the main saloon of the brothel, the insides were renewed, everything is luxurious.
The high-class prostitutes stayed on the upper rooms and the cheapest stayed at the bottom looking for customers.
She passed through and went out on a bigger house secluded from the main house.
When she entered, Azula was standing wearing a beautiful dress, looking at the dressed up slaves, two men and two women.
Hilda looked at them, "How you please our customers will decide who'll have the chance to refine a core. Between the five of you, one will get to choose a core, can have their own place to live and will receive five common crystal to spend.
The second better will receive a place to live and gain one crystal.
The rest will only receive one crystal for their jobs.
Hilda's face looked stern she voice in a somber tone.
"You'll won't like it, but you'll give your bodies away for man, woman, young and old. and will attend to their request if not too radical but you'll live a life nobody at your level could live anywhere else in this world. Do it this time and see the results.
Hilda looked at their faces. "I'll deliver you to your destination one at a time, after two hours I'll take you back."
Hilda looked at Azula, Azula nodded and pointed at a young man "lee, you go first."
Hilda took the man and jumped on the ceilings around town.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
