Grand Lust Sovereign-Chapter 84: Celeste

"Greetings, esteemed guests."

The lady greeted with a curt bow.

They were seated on sofas. Julien sat in the middle of Jackie and Amelia, and the three stood up to greet the lady with a slight bow.

"Esteemed guests need to be so formal. Please have a seat."

The two parties sat down again, and the lady then went straight to the point.

"How may I help you, today?"

"We want some adventurers who can take us to Floor 25 at the earliest." Julien put out his request.

"I see." The lady said and began contemplating, despite it being the most common request.

After a few seconds, she replied, "Only up to Floor 25? Our guild can take you to the highest, the uncleared Floor 37 well."

Julien shook his head. "No, up until Floor 25 should suffice."

There were a lot of hidden quests and scenarios available after Floor 25. Going right up to Floor 37 would be a problem as they wouldn’t have the right foundation to challenge this floor.

The Tower had opened its gates to the people of this world roughly 50 years ago. In this half a century, they had only managed to reach Floor 37. This was enough to make anyone understand how difficult it was to clear a single floor and how many tries it took.

Julien’s plan was to reach Floor 25 as soon as possible so that he can have a proper safe zone. From here, he could descend to any floor he liked at any time, and could also challenge the upper floors on his wish.

Floor bosses of a few floors between 25 and 37 weren’t defeated yet. He could take on them too.

"I understand. Please give me a moment." The woman said and took out a digital tablet from her spatial pocket.

Her hands swiftly glided through the screen and in a few moments, she put the tablet down and looked at the three.

"None of our qualified members are free as of this moment to take on this request."

Julien sighed. ’Of course. It is me who made the request, so there’s bound to be some issues.’

The lady stood up from her seat. "However, worry not, esteemed guests. I’ll clear up my schedule and escort you personally to Floor 25. Please give me a moment."

Julien blinked in surprise. ’What?’

There was such an option available too?

For once Julien rejoiced because his bad luck did not interfere. Whichever god it was that helped him, he thanked them with all his heart.

While the lady was gone, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat awkward.

Having just gotten time to sit back and relax, the reality of his deeds sinked in and made Julien’s face flush.

The pretty lady he had just boned, she was sitting right beside him.

Amelia was calmly sipping tea. It was as if this was just another normal day for her.

On his other side, Jackie probably had no idea of what had transpired between him and Amelia. If she knew, he didn’t know how the atmosphere would then be.

Little did Julien realize, Jackie already knew everything. She was trying her hardest to not show the embarrassment she was feeling, and how awkward it was to sit beside a pair of love birds who had just done the forbidden wrestling.

’It’s probably still inside her!’ Jackie internally screamed as she imagined Amelia’s body containing foreign fluids within her.

Amelia on the other hand was feeling somewhat embarrassed. She still couldn’t believe what she had done and the most troubling matter was that she had actually quite enjoyed it.

She wouldn’t accept it, but she was actually looking forward to doing it for a second time.

The three did not talk. They awkwardly sat there and sipped tea.

Five minutes later, the mage entered the room and eased their tensions.

"I am ready. We can leave whenever esteemed guests wish." The lady said.

Julien put the teacup down and got up. "Very well. We shall leave now then."

"Yes." Amelia said and got up.

Jackie got up too, and along with the lady, they were escorted out of the guild and left for their ascension to Floor 25.

…..

Clearing Floor 10 was by far the easiest as it was a safe zone.

When they ascended and reached Floor 11, they found themselves in a dry wilderness.

Walking through the long, dry grasses, the guild lady said, "Esteemed guests, I just realized, I haven’t introduced myself. My apologies, I was quite caught up in work."

The lady initiated a conversation.

"We haven’t introduced ourselves as well. Please don’t mind." Julien said politely.

The lady stopped and turned to face them. She bowed slightly and said, "My name is Celeste and I am the Vice Guildmaster of the Crimson Night Guild."

"I see— wait, what!?!" Julien was suddenly alarmed.

Jackie felt her hair stood on their ends as well and immediately put her guard up.

Amelia felt something off too and took a defensive stance.

"Ah, my apologies. I did not mean to startle everyone." The lady suddenly realized the weight of her words and took a step back to lighten the situation.

Why was the Vice Guildmaster of a top guild here with them? Taking on a bodyguard-like job to actually escort them to the higher floors?

Did she have too much free time on hand or did she perhaps have other ulterior motives?

The three began thinking of various possibilities.

The lady did not have good communication abilities, so she could only explain herself further and reveal a bit of information about the guild.

"The token…" she showed the token Julien had deposited at the reception. "This is given to people by the Guildmaster personally, and so far, only four have been personally issued. One of them was with you, so only three more remained. This token gives unrestricted access to everything the guild has, and the person who holds it can even request the Guildmaster to do something for them."

"Are you serious?" Julien raised his eyebrow in surprise. This was too good to be true. And why was such a token in his mother’s hand?

"Yes, a hundred percent serious. No outsider except for these token holders can enjoy such a privilege. Even most members of the guild cannot. This token is one of the most difficult things to obtain." Celeste briefed.

What even was his mother’s relationship with the Guildmaster of his guild to obtain such a token? It looked like he had an important question to ask her the moment they met again.

"So… if we can request anything from the Guildmaster, can we also make any request to you?" Jackie was the one to ask.

"That’s correct. If they are within my capabilities, I’ll do my best to fulfill them."

"Wow…" Jackie was thoroughly impressed.

"Alright, then I do have a request. I wonder if you can do it." Julien said, not letting the opportunity slide.

"Please, feel free to ask." Celeste said. Her tone was neutral and throughout the conversation, there wasn’t any change in her expression.

"Ah well, it’s nothing too serious. I just want you to teach me how to swim." Julien made his request. Swimming was very important to him.

"Oh…" Celeste was internally relieved to find the request to be simple.

She thought about it and then said, "Floor 14 has a lot of water. We can start there."

"That would be great!" Julien was ecstatic.

Meanwhile, Jackie and Amelia were baffled. Their Master didn’t know how to swim? This was quite the news to them as even as a nun, Amelia knew how to swim.

The four then began conversing as they walked through the Floor 11’s wilderness and made their way towards the Stairway of Ascendence.
