-Douglas City, Arcadina, Pyno-

.

"Quickly! Quickly! I need the room in tip-top shape fast!"

A loud bellow rang across the massive hallways, as several leading maids and butlers lashed out orders at every turn. 

Some wore pocket watches glasses on, while others had their equipment in hand, running across the rooms like crazy!

"Oh, my ancestors! What's going on here? I said to use the lavender cleaning detergents and not the Strawberry one!"

"What are these drapes? The drapes are to be white, laced with gold ends! No additional colors, no poker dots! Who do you think we have coming over? A child?"

"Come on people! Get the 14 brand-new used towels and keep them in the bathroom! And what's this? A strain on sheets? Use the new sheets and send these white ones to be bleached! Honestly, do I have to do your jobs for you?"

"Bastard! Are these the guests' slippers o requested? If I say your brain is made of wallpaper paste, you will think I'm insulting you! I'm going to close my eyes... And when I count to 3 and open them, the sea sheets better be gone from the bed or you don't want to know what I'll do to you"

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah~"

The head maids and head butlers felt they have never yelled so much in their lives. Who will not be anxious in times like these?

As for where they worked, of course, it was in the famous 2-star hotel called the 'Grand Trigun.' Their hard-earned reputation was one they didn't intend to lose.

Before Baymard's arrival, it was called the Trigun Stay.

However, after Baymard established its ranking system for all hotels in Baymard, the outside world was quick to copy and follow through, enacting their own hotels to be assessed.... especially after many empires became part of the UN. 

Thus, inspectors traversed to various regions of the UN empires ranking them, as well as giving enough benefits to those who crossed certain thresholds. 

It was also because of this system, that many realized their taverns, inns, and stay seated were all too dirty. 

Thanks to Baymardians protocol they now clean before and after a guest uses a room. They also swept and nipped frequently, not wearing for alcohol or dirt stains to build up. 

They also realized that during this period, their furniture and other movable objects for guests were in better condition after meticulous care than before.

To protect them there were also certain rules for Guests to oblige, like killing in their hotels, no breaking furniture purposefully, and so on. 

In this era, people broke things to show how furious they were. But not anymore. 

At least if you do it now, you must pay a fine, so they could replace the broken items. 

Previously, even if a guest breaks an item, the hotel or tavern wouldn't ask for compensation, for fear of driving their customers away. 

In bar fights, people purposefully threw others on tables and damaged many items for the fun of it. For noblewomen, they sometimes broke vases and other expensive ornaments to make a point. 

The inn, hotel, tavern, or stay house would let them go for fear of angering these nobles or important people. But not anymore. 

There were rules to protect the establishment from making unnecessary losses. 

All in all, Baymard's many inspections led to great awareness in all stay homes, inns, and taverns, focusing on cleanliness, customer service, and so on.

It was also amazing to get a raise in hotel star rank since the hotel in question will be featured in Baymard's newspapers for 2 weeks, and would also get interviews and free publicity done for them. 

They would also get featured in the famous show called 'Star Quality: The Rise of Great Hotels.'

Once they enter an episode of the show they would also get paid for appearances too. 

Again, those hotels that typically appear on the shows statistically see a 300% rose in customer visits during the next 2 years.

It's TRUE.

All these have been documented and proven.

In a nutshell, it meant more money for everyone.

With the hotel's prestige going up, you best believe the salaries of the maids and butlers also got higher raises and end-of-year bonuses compared to others. 

So with all the benefits these Baymardain policies offered, who in their right mind wouldn't strive to raise or keep their hotel at higher star ranks? 

.

"CHOP-CHOP everyone!... In another 30 minutes, the Baymardian Queen will arrive!"

Can you believe it, the queen? Coming to their little 2-star hotel?

She could've lived in any of the noble's estates or even the City Lord's. But because she wanted to encourage businesses, she chose to stay in their hotel.

For assisting the queen, the head maids and butlers dared not anyone other than themselves to do the queen's room service while she was here. 

No way! What if some idiot accidentally spills tea on the queen? They knew queen Lucy wasn't the arrogant sort. But they still didn't want errors!

Of course, Queen Lucy won't be coming alone.

The queen was so kind enough to send a letter to their establishment, especially how many people she was coming with.

There were 70 people in her entourage. The queen, 10 Baymardian ministers and biologists, and a news reporting team of 13 people. The rest of the people coming with her were guards and a few military personnel. 

One might think 70 is a lot for their establishment, but that wasn't the case.

Their establishment was the size of an estate, with several towering stone buildings scattered around. 

They could comfortably house 1,500 guests at once. 

Mind you, their estate was regular-sized. Should they own the true estates that most big-shots nobles owned, those could house 8000, 12,000 and even more guards and servants all at once. 

Those estates had private barracks built around various training courtyards, with each floor in a rectangular formation being able to take at least a thousand men. 

All in all, dealing with Lucy's 70 guests wasn't an issue.

Like so, the group of excited and anxious workers scattered about the place like worker ants. But just when they finished Lucy's matter, someone brought in 3 other letters for them.

[If rooms be available, the Royals of Arcadina, would love to secure 60.... signed Queen-Mother Mona.]

Ahhhhh!!!

The wealthy merchant family who owned the hotel was crazy. 

Though the Monarch wasn't coming, the Arcadinian Queen-Mother and Royal Uncle were coming to visit too. 

Luckily for them, only 1,023 rooms were already booked. So they still had 477 free rooms. They quickly gave Lucy 70 and Mona 60.

The other 2 letters were from Arcadinian nobles who also wanted to stay in the hotel. 

Altogether, they allocated another 230 rooms for both nobles.

That was it!

If someone comes along again, be it a noble or passerby, they only have 117 rooms left to give. Some were suites, some were those with double beds and some with single beds.

Hey... business was booming. 

What else could they say? 

The business was indeed booming, not just for them but for other inns, taverns, and Home stays too. 

In bees following honey thousands of people swarmed in Douglas city despite it being Fall. 

No one cared! Everyone wanted exclusive first-hand news on today's matter. 

Even assassination guilds and other information-collecting agencies sent their people in disguise too. 

You have to know that in today's society, information is key.

People would pay heavy coins for little information. These many guilds who claimed to know and see everything in the world, couldn't afford to fall short in grabbing the news firsthand.

They would know what nobles were here, who had an affair with who, who was secretly killed, who was threatened, who struck a deal with another, and so on.

Many people were also here to get a glimpse of their goddess and idol, Queen Lucy. But while some were here on hood behavior, the same could not be said for others lurking in the dark.

.

Pah! 

Several women slapped a few coins on the table hard, but the lady at the front desk still maintained her smile.

"Welcome to the great Trigun. How may I be of service to you?"

"One room." The lead guest spoke out, with a tune not to be questioned. 

"Sure. I suppose it's a double-bed room?"

"Yes."

The lady at the front desk nodded, writing their information down in her book.

"It's important to know that each double-bed room is designed for 2~4 person-pay only. Since your 5, there is an extra charge of 68 copper coins for that. Is that alright?"

"Hmmmm." The lead woman nodded, and soon, the group was shown to their room. 

Bam! With the door closed they quickly rushed for their bags and went to work.

"Sisters... The traitor's daughter will stay here. Remember. No attacks. We are here to watch and trail the b**ch."
