Chapter 36: Speculations on the Remodeling of the Moulin Rouge.

Before long, several graceful women clad in diaphanous veils followed Margaret into Rein’s room.

Rein leaned against the bed and watched as Margaret and her companions began setting up the musical instruments.

The musicians moved with great skill and soon prepared every instrument.

At Margaret’s nod, ethereal notes instantly filled the air.

And the dancers gradually began to move with the music.

Watching their seductive steps, Rein felt that this was just like how it had felt in the past.

Before long, the music ended and the dancers’ movements gradually ceased.

After observing them for a moment, Rein selected the dancer he believed had performed the best.

Immediately, the unchosen dancers shot envious looks at their chosen peer before filing out of Rein’s room.

The selected dancer then tugged at the veil around her waist with both hands.

In that instant, the dancer’s graceful body was revealed before Rein.

Then she took highly seductive steps as she slowly approached Rein, each stride boldly displaying her form.

Fiona frowned as she debated whether to intervene.

Seeing this, Rein waved his hand.

“Put your clothes back on; I didn’t have you stay here for that, so go stand over there.”

Having witnessed the household’s maid ensemble, Rein’s aesthetic standards had clearly reached an extremely high level.

Although her lithe figure was arresting, it did not really move Rein much.

After all, he had seen better.

At this, the dancer immediately halted and, a bit crestfallen, offered Rein a slight bow.

“Yes, Young Master Rein.”

She then turned and retrieved the diaphanous veil she had just discarded, draping it over herself in a half-concealed manner before standing off to the side.

Then came several more waves of different music and varying dance routines.

The only common thread was that each dancer’s performance was deeply alluring.

Watching the dancers, Rein tilted his head and asked Margaret about what had happened with Manny earlier.

“Margaret, I remember you’re supported by the Marquis Morris family, so there should be no need to kowtow to the Torres family like that.”

Rein asked as he ate fruit.

At Rein’s words, Margaret let out two wry laughs.

“Young Master Rein, it is true that Moulin Rouge is an asset of the Morris family, but they are currently dealing with some issues and have no way to manage our Moulin Rouge at all.”

“Although on the surface Moulin Rouge still belongs to the Morris family, in truth it lacks any noble patronage.”

Rein nodded after hearing this, understanding why Manny had been so arrogant.

Indeed, in a place like the central avenue of Royal City… where land was worth its weight in gold… a business without noble support was vulnerable.

The Moulin Rouge, lacking aristocratic backing, could easily become a target.

Gazing at the dancers and the room’s decor, Rein sank into deep thought.

Although he did not know what incident the Morris family had encountered, it could not be a trivial matter if it had overwhelmed a marquis family.

As for the Moulin Rouge, he said, “Hmm, the one in the middle stays, the others can go.”

…

Time gradually passed.

Although Rein’s resistance to women was fairly strong at the moment, the successive seductive dances did wear him down a bit.

In the end, he selected only seven dancers whom he felt had performed exceptionally well.

After drinking a cup of cool tea to quell the stirring desires in his heart, Rein decided to go home and have his maids take care of it.

“Margaret, I’ll take these few back with me to teach my maids how to dance, and I’ll return them to you in a while.”

Margaret nodded at this, and upon hearing that Rein wanted the dancers to train his maids, she clearly had something to say.

Yet she remained silent.

“All right, Margaret, calculate how much I’ve spent today.”

Rein yawned nonchalantly.

Margaret gave a light laugh and said, “Young Master Rein, you helped me with the Manny matter today… how could I possibly have the face to ask you for money?”

“All of today’s expenses are on me.”

Rein glanced at Margaret with a knowing look.

“Fine, then consider today my treat.”

Pushing open the door, they found that the horrific, blood-soaked scene in the third-floor hall had already been restored to normal.

Rein descended the stairs with the few dancers and knights following.

Suddenly, Rein turned his head to look at a certain spot, his expression puzzled.

He had just felt someone staring at him.

But he didn’t dwell on it and walked out of the Moulin Rouge’s gates.

Margaret led a carriage out from the backyard and said, “Young Master Rein, I see you only rode in one carriage today; consider this one yours.”

Rein nodded and instructed the dancers behind him to board the carriage.

Standing outside contemplating the Moulin Rouge’s façade, Rein drew a token from his Aetheric Device and tossed it to Margaret.

Margaret caught it and exclaimed in surprise, “Young Master Rein… this…”

Rein looked at her reaction and smirked.

“Stop pretending… you just wanted this thing, didn’t you?”

“Having my token means I’m covering you at the Moulin Rouge; in a couple of days, I’ll go to the Morris family to secure the deed.”

“From now on, you and the Moulin Rouge are under my wing, and I’m Rein… let’s see who in this era dares to cross me.”

Unbothered by being exposed, Margaret let out two soft laughs.

“Young Master Rein, your insight is truly remarkable; from now on, the Moulin Rouge will rely on you.”

Rein gave a light “hm” before boarding the carriage and instructing Drake to return home.

Watching the retreating carriage and the black token in her hand, Margaret felt a huge weight lift from her chest.

Now with Rein’s support, the Moulin Rouge could stand a little taller.

She then turned and returned inside the Moulin Rouge, saying, “I’m in a good mood today; all wages will be doubled.”

“Woo-hoo~ Boss, you’re so generous!”

“Boss, you’re so generous!”

…

By the time he returned to House Gray, evening had already fallen.

Since House Gray had already screened for spies and the like yesterday, it had now returned to its usual appearance.

As soon as he stepped down from the carriage, Eve was waiting nearby.

The cluster of maids behind Eve glared at their Young Master with resentment.

Clearly, he had so many beauties at home, yet he went to a pleasure house like the Moulin Rouge.

Seeing Eve, Rein stepped forward to wrap his arm around her slim waist, but Eve deftly slipped away from him.

This left Rein stunned.

Seeing Eve’s impassive expression and the maids’ resentful looks, Rein understood why.

He then put his arms around Cecily and Ellie and began to explain to everyone.

“I went to the Moulin Rouge on business. Come on, let’s walk and I’ll tell you as we go.”

Then, as they walked, Rein explained to the maids the reasons for his trip to the Moulin Rouge.

“Ah, Young Master, so you went to find dance trainers for us.”

“Mm-hmm, exactly. None of you know how to dance… what would I do when I’m bored at home?”

After hearing his reasoning, the maids immediately let go of their annoyance toward the dancers trailing behind.

“Come on, hurry, Young Master, I’ve missed you all so much. You don’t know how I felt… after watching those seductive dances for so long, I could hardly hold back.”

Then he whispered as he held Eve.

“If it weren’t for constantly thinking of you, Eve, I would have lost control long ago.”

Upon hearing this, Eve gave Rein a light reproachful glance and no longer evaded his embrace.
