RISE OF EROS

The next morning Alfi visited the Heavenly Palace. As was his custom, he arrived in a discreet-looking carriage and dressed in common clothes to go unnoticed, even if it was daylight.

It was not unusual for people of great social and economic positions to visit the red light district, but none of them did so openly, in the end, they must take care of their images and most of them have families.

Although the people working in pleasure houses obviously knew the identities of these important characters, none of them dared to expose their identities, for two simple reasons.

The first was because the establishment would lose its credibility. If a noble or wealthy character went to a pleasure house to enjoy its services and that pleasure house announced his activities there to the world, who else would go there?

A situation like that would certainly ruin their business because these characters are the ones that generate the most profits for these businesses and if they can't even protect their privacy, that was the end for them.

The second reason is even simpler, but at the same time more weighty. What business wants to have as an enemy a powerful and wealthy nobleman or personage? That was seeking death.

All the characters with this type of status have something in common and it is their pride or rather, their bad temper. Certainly, not all of them are like that, but any of them whose reputation is tarnished, even if the accusation is true, would only suffer the consequences.

People with power and money would throw all their strength on the one who wronged them, so, it wouldn't be as simple as losing money, the destruction of the establishment, and even assassination were more likely.

For this reason, Alfi always went discreetly, to avoid being recognized, since he did not want to be associated as a person who frequented these establishments.

Despite this, there were people like Johan and even Candice who openly visited the red light district without worries, but their situation was different since they always went during daylight hours and anyone who wanted to offend them by spreading rumors could easily be silenced with a little investigation to knowing that they were only doing business.

That was normal for merchants like them, they are not the only ones, many of the merchants in the shopping district have businesses in the red light district, it can even be said that they are their biggest customers, so rumors of them will not appear.

However, Alfi is a scholar, and despite being Johan's heir, everyone knows that he is not yet participating in his father's business, so he had no excuse to do business, and the rumors about him frequenting the red light district, yes, could affect him.

Alfi entered the Heavenly Palace and was led by Victor to the office where Andrew received him. It really wasn't to talk about business or any complicated topic, he had only come to thank for the night before because his friends were very pleased and after a brief conversation, he left.

Andrew was very happy with this news because it could benefit him in the future when he needed it. On the other hand, the courtesans, Helena and Carolina were doing their morning exercises as usual, so they didn't notice Alfi's visit.

When they finished, Helena began to instruct the courtesans as usual with sexual techniques and Carolina returned to review her obligations. The renovations were still going on and although the reception of food and liquor was now in the hands of Víctor and Héctor, she still coordinated the logistics of the entire Heavenly Palace.

After Helena's class ended and everyone had their lunch, the courtesans returned to their rooms and Carolina visited Helena, to receive her private lesson.

Helena had already found out that Carolina wanted to approach her to break the barrier and invite Helena to her and Andrew's room, but a week had passed and she felt that Carolina was dragging out the inevitable longer than necessary.

For this reason, Helena began to be more proactive in her sessions to encourage Carolina to take the decisive step that she needed to take. Before, Helena gave Carolina normal classes as she did to all the courtesans, but now she began to do more practical exercises.

Although they were practical exercises, they were not excessive. Just simple things like telling Carolina to massage Helena's tits and Helena would massage Carolina's in return. They practice kissing and a little close contact, but without going all the way.

Simply put, Helena was tempting Carolina to lose her mind and pushing her to unleash her lust. These little tricks were working, because Carolina was always overexcited from each class to the point that she has to look for Andrew to let out her accumulated lust.

Andrew was aware of Helena's wiles, but he didn't say anything. First of all, he enjoyed the fact that Carolina broke her rule of not having sexual activity during work hours more often, which was always nice, and also, he knew that in a short time, Carolina would give up and put her jealousy aside, allowing Helena or other couples enter the room with them.

Carolina wasn't stupid, she also knew that Helena was tempting her and that Andrew had colluded with her by not saying anything, but she didn't bother either, because she also wanted that result, only her heart still wouldn't allow it, so she forced herself to suffer in this way.

The days passed and everything was going smoothly, so the date on which Andrew had told Candice that he would show her a business opportunity was soon approaching and that's why he called Fluffy.

With his help, Andrew was going through the system through different designs of erotic lingerie to see which ones he could buy and see if he could forge a business alliance with Candice.

However, when he was going through these designs, he noticed something strange and couldn't help but ask Fluffy, "Didn't you say that these abilities were focused on sex and eroticism? Why are there designs for gala suits and casual clothes?"

Fluffy had already explained to Andrew that the abilities of the gods Eros focused on sex and eroticism, that's why aphrodisiacs, contraceptives, stimulants, and beauty items were normal in his pharmacology ability, in the end, they all helped in certain ways to sex and eroticism.

However, he didn't understand the reason why his sewing skill didn't follow this rule, but Fluffy only smiled at the question and replied, "Master, are you telling me that an elegantly or casually dressed woman or man is not sensual? ".

Fluffy's response surprised Andrew. He remained silent for a few seconds and easily arrived at the answer. Isn't an elegantly dressed woman sensual? She obviously was. Wouldn't a woman dressed casually in a short skirt or showing a bit of skin turns on a man? She clearly did, at that moment, Andrew understood how stupid his question was.

Upon reaching this understanding, Andrew shook his head with a self-deprecating smile for not noticing something so simple, and Fluffy, noticing that his master had understood, did not pursue him and continued advising him on which designs to buy.

Andrew had earned a lot of points thanks to his activities with Carolina, which at this point were practically daily thanks to Helena's antics and that's why he had the ability to consider buying several, quite attractive designs.

But it was not only that but noticing that there was also a design for elegant and casual dresses, opened another door for him. At first, he wanted to focus on sexy outfits and lingerie, but now that he had normal options, he knew he could win Candice over easily.

Although the textile industry of this world was not much different from the one in his previous world, for some reason lingerie and erotic clothing were far behind.

For this reason, he wanted to focus on that market, but he also knew that it was a niche market, but with more options available to him, it meant more opportunities to make money.

However, when he thought about that he found a problem. Unlike his pharmacology skill, his sewing skill could be copied. Reverse-engineering his pharmacological products was practically impossible for mortals of this world, but for his clothing designs, it was quite simple.

In medicines and beauty products, the raw materials could be known, but not the manufacturing process, not to mention that this skill is not common so it was not possible to copy them, but for clothes it was different. Sewing skills are quite common and Anyone with it could easily copy this design.

Noticing this, Andrew knew that he couldn't sell his clothes to Candice as he did with other products to Johan and after thinking about it for a while, he came to the conclusion that he would have to sell the design, not the clothes.

After thinking about it, he noticed that this way he would generate better profits since he could sell the design for a higher price and would avoid wasting part of his capacity on the synthesis skill by allocating it to the creation of clothes.

With that decision and after speaking with Fluffy, he bought at length, four system designs. Despite spending almost all the wealth of points he had earned from his activities with Carolina, he had no regrets.

He had purchased two designs for lingerie sets, one design for casual wear, and one design for an elegant dress. All intended for women, because he was clear that there was no better customer than women, whether in this world or any other world.
