After a momentary stop, Alex changed their destination. He understood that the little princess wanted to spend some time alone with him, to let her enjoy this as much as she wanted he changed their destination, going back to Avalon.
It was already night time when they arrived making perfect for what Alex had in mind. After spending few minutes in their villa it was the time to go to that place.
Alex was dressed in simple all black outfits while Saeko was dressed beautifully.
The dress covered her shoulders entirely and flows down into a fancy halter neckline. It was a loose fit which helps remove some of the unwanted attention on her breasts, but does so by still looking elegant.
Her arms have been covered all the way down to her wrists. The sleeves start out loose and tighten towards the bottom where they wrap graceful around her wrists.
The dress' waist was thin, but it's a loose fit. A cloth ribbon has been wrapped around her and is tied on one side.
Below the waist the dress fits snug around her and has a tube style. The dress reaches to just below her knees and is the same length all around.
She's wearing open toes, they're simple, but radiate grace and refinement. To top it all off she's wearing a subtle necklace and large, stylish earrings.
''It suit you real well. You're gorgeous in them.'' Alex offered a compliment which made Saeko smile. Her hair had grown longer than when they left her hometown, she let them loose which accentuated her beauty even more.
Under Alex guidance they arrived at their destination quickly.
It was a club.
'The Mint' a night which became a popular club in capital recently. The club was always overcrowded thanks to the ambient environment and the wonderful drinks it offered.
A long queue of people was standing outside the club waiting for a chance to enter. More than eight bouncers were overlooking the queue to ensure no trouble.
''WoW! It's a club. It's my first time visiting one.'' Saeko was thrilled at the prospect of visiting a club for the first time, however, after seeing how crowded the place was, her joy was short lived.
Alex chuckled before dragging Saeko with him. He didn't join the queue and instead directly went to the entrance.
''What the fuck? Did you think you'll get when we are standing in queue here?" One man shouting prompting the others to start laughing as they thought Alex was being delusional, not even your background would work here, this club was unlike the other ones, not only it was well maintained and have the best drinks, everybody queue up to enter it, doesn't matter from which background you come from.
Saeko stayed silent, not paying attention to the crowd, having known this man for a while now she knew he was not the type to do things recklessly, so there must be a good reason why he didn't queue up like the other, maybe he knew the owner of this place.
While Saeko was lost in thoughts, they arrived at the entrance where they got stopped.
Four bouncers in black with robust physics were guarding the entrance with a frown on their face.
"Kid, there is no special treatment here," One of the bouncers said in a heavy voice.
Alex didn't say anything and instead took out a golden card from his item box.
"He thinks a card can change the rules here?" Someone from the queue shouted.
"The club is known for its fairness!"
"Stop being delusional!"
"Even if you are from the imperial family you wouldn't get an entrance---"
The crowd suddenly turned silent. Each person looked on in complete disbelief at the scene in front of them.
The head bouncer opened the entrance of the club! Not only that but the bouncer was showing a respectable attitude.
Alex's lips curved upward to form a smile as he entered the club while holding Saeko's hand. The bouncer then closed back the entrance with a loud thud.
The crowd got their wits back as they saw the entrance being locked again.
"What?!"
"This is unfair!"
"It is against the rule!"
"Get that kid out!"
"We will protest!"
"Yes! We will boycott the club unless you get that man out!"
The head bouncer looked at the crowd with a mocking expression.
"You think I will give more preference to your protest than the owner of the club?" The bouncer asked with a smirk.
"Owner?!"
"That kid owns this place!?"
"No way!"
"I see, no wonder he didn't give us a damn!"
"The world is unfair!''
''I've finally understood that last smile as he was entering the club. Our words must have sounds funny to him. Well, Life is unfair. We just have to wait for our turn.'' Said a lady, she had brown hair with a big breasts.
If Alex had paid a little bit attention to the crowd he would have spotted this lady. They only meet once when he was shopping with his sister but she was a lady that left a strong impression on him as she was also an adventurer, no a former adventurer.
This girl was none other than Delphi, the girl with the legendary F-cup. (A/N: They meet around Chapter 40: Encounter. Go reread it if you wish for more details.)
The reason why she was unable to identify him was because Alex had changed compared to their first meeting and most importantly he was disguised.
Not wanting to draw too much attention, they choose to disguise themselves.
Not many people were aware of Alex owning a club, except for the emperor and Alex's entourage. Creating this club was not Alex's idea but Maria's idea instead.
••••••
Meanwhile, inside the club.
The club was spacious with three floors filled with people to the brim. Multiple lights flashed around on the disco floor.
At a far corner, a DJ made sure people had more than worth the money as he adjusted the music to give them the fun of their lifetime.
''You are the owner of this club right?" Saeko asked with a smile. She had arrived at this conclusion after a bit of thinking.
It was her first time entering a club and she was startled by the glamor and vanity inside.
"Yes, I'm indeed the owner but it's your big sister Maria the one that came with the idea and the one that manage this place.'' Alex explained as he stepped towards the bar counter.
Rows of liquor bottles were placed behind the bar. Beers, wines, whiskey, spirit drink and many other beverages were displayed on the glass shelf.
The bar counter was made from glass with a virtual interface to allow the patrons to choose their drinks, all of this was illuminated by what looked like a neon light drawing everyone attention as soon as you walked in. Many bartenders were making the drinks in a fully professional manner. There were ten in total.
There was hardly any empty space in the club and there were more people waiting outside.
Saeko understood why people said this club was the best one out of the clubs inside the capital.
The entire club was dark and noisy save the occasional flash of lights on the dance floor. The heavy music reverberated on both floors while people danced with full enthusiasm.
After serving her a glass of spirit drink and a whisky for himself, the two sat together while enjoying their drinks and watching others dance.
The sight of the dance floor brought a frisson of joy.
Alex felt like if the dance floor could speak it would be a tale of enlivened souls.
Looking at those dancing he felt like they should also move their bodies.
''Let's go dance.'' Alex said offering his hand and Saeko shyly took it as she got dragged on the dance floor.
Because of her past, she didn't have any experience with things like this. Ball dance is different from club dance. Thankfully, she got a wonderful teacher and partner.
She didn't embarrass herself on the dance floor thanks to Alex's guidance. He leaned close to her and grabbed her arm as a slow tune came on.
They both swirled around in fun and laughter, and in few minutes, Saeko even forgot that she was a newbie on the dance floor.
"He truly makes me feel different." Saeko thought in her heart as they danced.
Alex curled a hand into the curving span above Saeko's hips, fitting his fingers around her waist. She didn't shudder and she moved her hand forward while the DJ changed the music to another party song.
As they danced she felt like she was getting closer to him, as if their hearts were being connected to form one and only one channel. He was like her beacon at the end of the dark tunnel, his story, his will not to give up when everyone thought he was worthless was what shaped her personality, her being.
In the beginning it all began as infutuation, like a crazy fan but after spending time with him it has evolved and Saeko could say it without doubt that she was in love with this man and as a woman in love there was only one thing left to do which is to win a place in his heart.
