They went straight to the receptionist. The hotel was called Royal Hotel. There were many luxurious cars around the place.
"How can we help you, Sir and Madam." A female receptionist asked as she spotted them. A blush appeared on her cheeks and neck.
Both noticed but ignored it. Karl couldn't tease her as he had a tiking bomb around.
"We want to book two Presidential suites."
He said calmly.
She pressed her computer skillfully.
"Two Presidential suites will be $7000 dollars a night, Sir."
He nodded and passed her a black card. Her eyes widened slightly at the black card. This didn't escape the Empress' eyes.
These cards are only owned by superwealthy people. So imagine her surprise. Even heirs of rich families might die without holding one.
She passed them two cards and keys.
"You can go directly to the upper flow."
She sneaked glances at him. He decided to leave. He went straight for the rift. It immediately ascended.
"You if you don't want to leave nuns behind, you should suppress your charm. You have seen what happened on the way here."
"The problem is I don't know how to do it. Being too handsome is a curse I think."
Karl said.
Ding.
They walked out. He went to 601 and she went for 602. He paused and looked at her.
"Won't you need new clothes. I mean to blend into the people. Your outfit you know."
She paused and glanced at him. It would be annoying if they started digging into her background.
"Okay, I will select some."
He browsed through his phone and ordered the butler to bring her some female outfits for her to pick.
"If you need anything, just knock. I will reply immediately. Okay then."
He opened his suite and entered.
She opened hers. The suite was very luxurious. It had a unique fragrance. There were multiple rooms.
She erected a barrier around her suite and immediately went for the bathtub.
'Seems like he is quite wealthy according to that receptionist's reaction at his card. Let's go with the flow for now.'
Karl immediately went for the shower. After, he wore a towel and jumped on the king-sized bed.
'Lets call Luxuria. I don't know how long I have been missing.'
He made a video call. There was an immediate response. A golden haired woman could be seen. How could he not know her.
"Ara ara...Already missing me that much, you make me blush you know. Ooh when did you become more handsome, seems we have much to talk about, huh."
"Yes we do. Seems am the only one who cares about you, you hurt my feelings you know. I can't sleep without you." He said 'pitifully'.
"Ooh don't worry this lady has so much to care about and doesn't have time to babysit you."
His lips twisted slightly. That wasn't him right,..right?
"Anyway things happened and I wasn't home for sometime. Thankfully I wasn't the only one it seems."
Luxuria could see that he was in a towel on a king-sized bed.
"Seems like you are enjoying life there. Are you with a girlfriend?" She asked with a 'smile'.
"Why do you think like that. Its just that am from my 'adventures'. You know they were pretty 'exciting' with my life at risk. How 'memorable'."
"You know, you are killing me with curiosity now. Why not tell already."
"Nope. This is not the time." He said and disconnected the call much to her frustration.
Luxuria looked at her phone with a smile. Seems like he was doing well, her worries were now lifted.
'You make me proud. You have grown stronger in a short period of time.'
She turned towards her personal secretary who stood there patiently.
"Ling Xi seems like your nephew is doing well." She said to her best friend.
"Really, how is he now?" Ling Xi asked cheerfully.
"Seems like he went somewhere for 'adventures' but he is now much stronger which is surprising. You know I just abruptly after his awakening."
Luxuria sighed. She just hoped he wasn't angry at her.
These were some of the rare occurrences Ling Xi had seen her Madam show emotions. She was known as a cold beauty.
"Don't worry this time you can leave Madam. I will handle things properly but somethings need your presence so I can't do much." Ling Xi said.
"Okay, but let's finish this meeting."

Karl dressed casually. He appeared at the balcony. New York City was a very busy city with many businesses running in the back.
'Lets text her, it's time.'
Karl:- Seems like asking help was unnecessary. Let's meet tomorrow at the coffee shop.
Sheila:- Sure. Is it a date~.
Karl:- I have no objection, it's a good idea.
Sheila:- Okay. Are you okay? You know I have been always ready waiting for you to show up in these days.
Karl:- How long has it been?
Sheila:- 6 days. What you don't know or something.
Karl:- Yeah sort of that. You know we can't talk about it on phone so I will tell you guys in person.
Sheila:- What do you mean. I alone am I not enough that you involve my sisters.
Karl:- You know am energetic, what did you expect.
Sheila:- Okay, we shall see about that. Let's hope you don't regret later. Inform your relatives to pick up your ash tomorrow.
Karl:- You are joking right..right?
Answer the damn question already.
Sigh.
'What a pain in the ass.'
He looked at the starry sky. The moon shone beautiful. His hair gave off a silver glow. The world looked peaceful. He inhaled and closed his eyes.
He slightly missed his University life. Though he didn't have many friends, it wasn't a bother for him.
Though he could get what he wanted now, normal life was priceless.
He turned around and entered his bedroom. He had already ordered for the dresses and stuff, it was up to her to decide.
Lia had given him a luggage of clothes all expensive brands so he lacked nothing to wear.
Come to think about it, that card saved him some trouble.
'Vampire royals are really broken. Living for who knows how long comes in handy. That curse on her was really strong. An existence at her level with such a pure Vampire bloodline to be suppressed. Ooh well I don't even know how really strong she is at her peak.'
He decided to meet her after his business...
