The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

"Everyone, meet Edna. She is the new addition to this brothel. Please integrate Edna into your group." Madam Tayo introduced.

All the women turned to me with the smiles still hanging on their faces.

"Welcome Edna." They said in unison.

I nodded imperceptibly.

From the look of things, I was going to be here for quite a while. I didn't want to make new enemies as soon as I appeared. New enemies would make things a lot harder.

"Madeline, you are one of the eldest ladies here. Please show Edna the ropes. Teach her how things are done here. I don't want to see Edna making mistakes that would cost us. Besides, your Book of rules should still be with you. Lend it to her. I will give you a new one later." Madam Tayo's face and tone was serious.

The book containing this establishment's rules seemed to be extremely important.

No wonder Madam Tayo reacted negatively when I tore the one she gave me into pieces.

I don't regret tearing the book to pieces though. That single action made me aware of Madam Tayo's bottom line. Now, I would know which minefields to avoid and which one to tread on. "Noted." Madeline replied with a bigger smile.

Madam Tayo turned to me, "My work here is done. I am leaving you in good hands. With Madeline teaching you, you should be able to service a customer soon. I should have been the one to take you to your room personally but Madeline would do so."

Madam Tayo left.

It was strange to be among strangers that hid their intentions behind creepy smiles.

Staying in this place was going to be a trial of fire and brimstone. I could see it.

"Girls, let's go back to the floating hut. We have unfinished business. Edna, you can follow us if you like." Madeline said before she started to move.

The girls that came from the floating hut followed her. It would be awkward if I just stayed on the shore.

I didn't know anyone here.

Madam Tayo told Madeline to be in charge of teaching me what I needed to know. She was tasked to take care of me too.

Her relation to me was closer than the rest of the ladies.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

It was better to stay where she was.

I followed the group of girls that wanted to go back to the floating hut onto the contraption.

The hut moved away from the shore slowly.

When I was on land, I couldn't observe the floating hut very well. Now, I could have a look around. The beauty of the hut was a feast for my eyes. It was stunning.

The floating hut was made from a blend of minimalist design and luxuriousness.

There was a table holding refreshments and a small bookshelf was near the entrance.

Books with beautiful and colorful covers were on the bookshelf.

Chairs made from a lightweight material were surrounding the table. Aside from the food, cards and other games were on the table.

There was a tiny box at the center of the floating hut. Numerous buttons were on this box.

This box should be the thing that would be used to control this floating hut.

Each of the girls took their seat.

I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but all the girls on the floating hut matched the number of seats precisely.

I was the only one that would have to stand. I shook my hair to get rid of the negative thoughts. I have to stop thinking the worst things about people.

It could sour potential relationships.

I didn't leave though. I have no choice but to stay here. Madeline was the person that was appointed to show me how things around here worked. I don't know where my room is. I don't know anything. Leaving here would make me look like a fool.

"Edna." Madeline called me.

I looked at her with a raised brow.

"Is something the matter?" I asked.

"Nothing is wrong. I just wanted to ask if you would like to play a game with us." Madeline said.

When she put it like that, it made it hard to refuse so I nodded.

Madeline clapped with flee, "So, the game we are going to play is called Find The Book."

Find The Book?

My head was blank. I was confused.

I haven't heard of this kind of game before.

How would this game be played? Is it by throwing a book to each other?

Throwing books to each other was what came to my mind the moment I heard the name of the game.

"There is no need to explain how the game is played. Once I start, you will understand." A smile was in Madeline's eyes.

It was clear that she was extremely happy to do what she was about to do.

The other girls were looking at both of us with secretive smiles.

I didn't like the current situation one bit, but I was also willing to endure it.

Madeline rose to her feet and walked to the bookshelf near the entrance.

She took a book from the bookshelf. I recognized the book.

It had the same cover and appearance as the Book of rules Madam Tayo gave me when I arrived at the brothel.

It should also be a book of rules.

A bad premonition tugged at my mind, the next event that would happen wasn't going to be good.

Madeline walked to the edge of the floating hut and dumped the book into the water.

She looked at me with an evil smile, "Edna, the game has started. Find the book. Time is ticking. If the book is destroyed, I don't know how you are going to explain to Madam Tayo and I don't know how I would teach you the rules." The joy in her tone was palpable.

I returned her smile, "It would be for the best if you do the honors. You are the one that threw the book away after all."

If these girls thought I would take nonsense behaviors because I was new, I was happy to prove them wrong.

Staying here with them was already stretching my limits. Letting them boss me around like a dog or using me like I was some kind of party clown was out of the question.

I was not going to take something like that, ever.
