Pseudo-Villaines

Sudden Attack

Jean and her two trusted men, Mar and Nina, execute their plans that very night. Gathering everyone in the headquarters hall, Jean stood on a podium, while releasing her aura of intimidation to all her men.

He announced his plan to them, which made all of his men widen their eyes. Jean really forced them to give up their money!

Many did not mind and relaxed, but many more objected. They are not all capable and existent people! 50 Copper coins could at least keep them and their families alive for two to three days!

But no one dared to refuse Jean's orders. Although with a heavy heart, they still give their money. Some give 50 copper coins, ten silver coins, or one gold coin even though the amount is small.

Instead, Jean handed him a paper that had no idea what it contained. Most of them cannot read or write. All they knew was that on the paper was Jean's stamp.

Jean's orders are simple. Do not let the paper they receive disappear or change hands. If they are careless, they will feel the consequences.

Not only did Jean, Mar and Nina also move. They went to the brothel and did what they had to do. Mar and Nina checked the whole corner of the brothel.

Mar also did data on all the women who were there. Because Nina can't write, she's in charge of keeping things around.

The women 'profession' is divided based on age, visual appearance, experience, and abilities they have individually. Some can sing, some can dance, or some are good at storytelling and others.

Mar also goes around from room to room, making sure anything needs to be fixed. Maybe something has to be replaced, added, or reduced.

Mar also visited the bar owned by White Wolf. One impression for this place. Really not taken care of. This place is bankrupt. Dust-filled tables and chairs, empty bottles filled with spider webs, and an unkempt hall. This place even became a nest for vagrants. Nina beat them all up before driving the bums away.

There's nothing else the two are doing here. After taking down everything he needed to record, Mar and Nina instantly left this abandoned place.

"Hohhh. The condition of the brothel is not too bad. Alright, I will make the necessary cost estimation and find workers to renovate the many parts there.

"Oh right. I saw three women who were good at singing and five women who were good at dancing. There are two great women in both. All right, let's create additional facilities to develop their talents while attracting customers.

"I'm going to make some new rules in this brothel. But yeah, I'll take care of it later. The target I want now is to benefit from what we have.

"While for the bar.ah come, there is almost no hope. I will order the others to clean up the place and reopen the bar. But enough as a simple place."

Jean let out a deep breath after letting out many things that were in her head. Not everything, but no need to rush.

Nina has rested. She had fallen asleep on the couch in Jean's study. Meanwhile, Mar was still sitting in Jean's hadapa. He looked a little tired but still forced himself to get up.

"You should rest Mar. Tomorrow, everything will be busier. If you don't get enough rest, you're gonna get sick and I'm gonna have a lot of trouble with that."

Jean stood up and put down two bags of money.

"This was the money that managed to collect from all the members of the White Wolf group. And these are the names of those who gave us the money. Tomorrow, we'll figure out a way to spin this money to make a bigger profit."

Mar finally resigned. He's really exhausted. After hearing all of Jean's instructions, she went to wake Nina and the two of them went to the room. They both occupied the same room.

Jean smiled as she watched the two of them leave. He got up and walked to the window. It's dark tonight. The moon that was supposed to shine was covered by the dark night sky. All that remained were the stars scattered in the sky. Sometimes blink, sometimes dim.

"Charl, Selena, let's get up. Especially you Selena. The other workers are already waking up."

As Charlotte was writhing, Selena stood up! She recalled the embarrassing thing that happened last night, the expression on Selena's face looked really adorable. He was embarrassed half-dead but at the same time, he was very happy.

"I don't want to repeat what happened last night."

Jean just laughed. She brought a change of clothes for Selena and the girl happily wore them. The two of them then walked out of Charlotte's room with their hands intertwined with each other.

Jean and Selena prepare a need for Charlotte. Selena cooks while Jean draws water and boil it so that the girl can take a bath as soon as Charlotte wakes up.

Everything went well. Charlotte awakens with the same reaction as Selena. But the girl quickly recovered and she decided to bathe herself, although she initially asked Jean to take a bath with her. Who would have thought that this girl was so perverted!

Charlotte is also doing her usual activities. After taking a shower and breakfast in her room, she went to her own study room to learn a few things. Usually it has to do with business.

Until the end....

"Jean, Charlotte, Selena. I want you to come with me to Earl Baldric's territory. He invited me to a dinner party. This will be an opportunity for Charl to expand his network and insights."

Uncle Hull invited them to go with him.

The three of them didn't mind. And because of that, now they were on a horse-drawn carriage owned by uncle Hull.

Jean remembered what her father had taught her. Supposedly, each nobleman had their own autonomous region. From Baron to Duke.

However, because the kingdom of Dublin is a small kingdom, in the end such a thing cannot be done. Baron title until the title of viscount does not have its own land. Those who had their own territories were only Earl, Marquis, and Duke-ranked nobles.

So far there has only been one Duke, one Earl, three Viscounts and four Barons.

The horse carriage they were riding shook to the right and left. The uneven surface of the ground added to the speed of the horse that the driver drove made the shock feel worse.

First, they came out of the capital wall, then down the forest path. For security, uncle Hull brought 20 mercenaries with him to escort.

Earl Baldric's territory was located to the west of the capital's castle. It takes about five to six hours to get there.

Their journey went well. Uncle Hull and the others spent time chatting inside the carriage. In the end, Jean senses danger coming from all directions, surrounding them.

At that moment, various shouts came from the front, back, right, and left.

"LORD HULL, WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!"
