Chapter 21: Chapter 3 – Part 9 (Book 1 – Fantasy World)

While Han inspected the hallway, they eventually found themselves in front of the first room.

"Though not typically used by families, it still has separate rooms. Normally, the rooms are meant for each gender since this is usually used by the staff." The girl smiled at Tom and his family.

Han raised an eyebrow in confusion at Tom's reaction.

Tom noticed Han's reaction, hastily explaining, "My Lord, it's not that I'm ungrateful..."

He looked at Molly, who was nodding her head vigorously.

"We normally stay on the first floor when staying at the inn. Such a room is beyond what we've experienced." Molly explained.

The girl looked at Tom and Molly before she carefully looked at Han. She was clearly nervous due to how the family reacted to Han. But it was apparent that she was trained adequately, how she didn't make it overly obvious.

Learning that even Tom, a successful merchant, only stayed on the first level made Han wonder about the type of person that would remain on the second and third floors.

It also helped him gauge the wealth gap between him and someone considered well-off in this world.

Since not many people would be staying on the third floor, Han understood how his large group was able to attain rooms as quickly as they did. The woman behind the counter didn't even ask which floor they should stay on -- the gold bars clearly indicated Han's influence based on the world's standards.

"If it bothers you, I'm sure they can rearrange things so you'll stay on the first floor," Han explained. "But I hope you and your family stay on the third floor."

"Of course, my Lord!" Tom bowed.

"How could we do something as not appreciatively receive your consideration," Molly bowed.

There was a flash of murderous intent, quickly pulled back.

Han sighed as he turned his head slightly at his creations behind him.

The girl smiled awkwardly and handed Tom the keys to the room. "If you require anything, feel free to let us know. We'll try to be accommodating to any of your and your family's needs."

Tom smiled at the girl before looking at Han, "My Lord, my family and I will be entering first. We hope that you have a good night."

Han waved and dismissed the family, knowing they'd feel more relaxed inside the room.

"That's one of the biggest issues with having a society so focused on social hierarchies," Han thought.

The way that Tom and his family reacted was something he was familiar with, considering his family's background. Han had to always be aware of how others were on the social ladder, often causing him stress during his childhood.

His mother would warn him about how he needed to behave appropriately to not attract negative attention from others.

"I imagine that I made my parents' lives harder by how I failed to behave properly. I likely caused other families to view us negatively." Han couldn't help but think of his childhood. "Even though I enjoy seeing how they reacted to my wealth, it doesn't mean that I did it in a malicious light."

Han hoped that the family's experience of traveling with him and enjoying food beyond what they'd have access to would offset the parents' anxiety.

"The children seem to not have as big of an issue. Though, I imagine the older brother had some sense of what was happening during the trip. He likely didn't act differently to keep his younger sister calm." Han smiled.

It was one of the benefits of being young, being able to stay ignorant of how dangerous the world could be if one encountered the wrong type of person.

"I hope my Lord forgives us for taking the liberty of placing the Lady next to your room," The girl looked at Elis and then at his creations.

Han understood what she meant.

"Elis is a traveling companion. Since she is more familiar with us, I do not think it is inappropriate to have her closer to my room -- compared to the family." Han smiled, letting the girl know she didn't do anything wrong.

The girl let out a soft sigh in relief.

"As I told the family, feel free to make any requests," The girl said to Elis.

Knowing that Elis wasn't a noble, the girl interacted more comfortably than how she addressed Han.

Elis nodded, "Thank you." She then looked to Han, "My Lord, I'll turn in now. I thank you for everything you've done for me."

Waving a hand, "It is not nearly as big of a deal as you make it sound like. Get plenty of rest, and let Cindy or Mindy know if you need anything. They are already prepared to handle anything you ask for, regardless of the time." Han gently said to Elis.

Opening the door and entering, Elis bowed before she closed the door.

"The two of you, keep a close eye on Elis. I do not expect any issues, but I would rather not have to work harder than needed." Han mentally ordered Cindy and Miny, who were with the other maids.

"By your will. No harm will fall on your guest, Master," Cindy answered.

Arriving at the room he and his creations would be staying in for the night, Han looked forward to finding out what it looked like on the inside.

"My Lord, this will be your room," The girl moved to open the door.

Leading them inside, the girl began to explain the layout.

"Upon entering, you'll see a sizeable shared area where you can have meals or entertain guests." The girl waved a hand to encompass the area.

Compared to the lobby and the hallways, the living area was significantly more lavished in appearance.

They were immediately greeted by a raised ceiling with a chandelier in the center. The light glittered, tiny rainbows seen on the walls -- dancing as the crystals slightly moved. There were also two large sofas on opposite sides of a long wooden coffee table.

On one side was a lone cushioned chair where the head of the group would be sitting to signify their higher status. All the furniture had the wooden parts polished and varnished, the wooden support even being carved with trees and animals -- matching the theme seen throughout the inn.

"For when you need snacks and drinks prepared by your staff, we have a side room that serves as a mini kitchen. There's a heating unit, dishes, and silverware that are complementary. If you need more mana crystals to power the units, you can easily switch it out with a new one provided inside the room." The girl said.

Han noticed the term "mana crystals" used and was curious whether it was what he thought it to be.

The girl then walked to the dining area, "Over here, you can comfortably have your meals. Please let us know if you need a larger table, and we'll replace it at no additional charge." The girl smiled, "All the furniture has been commissioned by a well-known craftsman in the capital." She blushed, "Even the beds are large and comfortable -- sturdy for any kind of activities."

The way that the girl acted it was clear that she had no experience. Han imagined that the girl heard things from the older staff, especially when it came to nobles. He imagined that it wasn't strange for a noble to arrive in a group where many of the servants were women.

With that knowledge, the girl likely thought that she was acting more mature than she was by adding details about the beds' quality.

"Though she isn't necessarily wrong," Han mentally grinned, looking forward to the nightly activities with his creations.

Han slowly looked around the room, inspecting the area. One of the things he noticed was the quality of the carpet better than what was out in the hallway. There was also something in the air that made him feel better.

He wondered if the room had something that was common for rooms associated with the nobility.

"Inside each room, there's a private area for bodily functions. And for your staff, there's a powder room where they can look over themselves after bathing or waking up." The girl said, her cheeks still slightly pink.

"As already explained, there's a private bathing area for those on the third floor. It's separated by gender but also one that's for mixed uses. These are typically used by the staff. My Lord, you're free to use the one reserved for the nobility and anyone else you wish to join you." She quickly moved on, "Since there are no other nobles tonight, in addition to not having received any requests for reservations, you'll have that area for yourself."

Han couldn't help but enjoy how the girl was purposefully trying to avoid looking at Helania, Queen, and Brittany.

"That last part was to let me know that it was okay for me to have the three join me in the bath area," Han mentally chuckled.
