RISE OF EROS

With all these limitations, it was unrealistic to achieve a fashion show at the level of those seen in Andrew's previous world, but he was not looking for something so glamorous either after all the purpose of these clothes was to highlight sensuality, so Andrew focused on courtesans wearing the dresses and lingerie that he made in a flirtatious way, to highlight these qualities.

He explained to the best of his ability to Helena what he wanted to achieve and gave his creations to her to train the courtesans in the best way she could and although Helena had no such experience, she enthusiastically accepted the task.

Her enthusiasm surprised Andrew, as he did not understand the reason for it, but after Carolina explained that Helena after arriving at the Heavenly Palace had begun to have her ambitions.

Helena had noticed that she was treated more like part of the Heavenly Palace's management staff than just a courtesan trainer. Carolina asked for her advice and Andrew sought her out for different tasks, so she wanted to get involved more in the business.

When Andrew heard this, it caused him a bit of discomfort, because a person with such ambitions was dangerous if they are not under control, but Carolina clarified that it wasn't that Helena wanted to gain power, what she wanted was to gain recognition.

In short, she wanted to be something similar to Carolina, both in the operation of the business and in the bed. This surprised Andrew even more because he certainly had some affection for Helena, but it was better described as affection for a concubine exclusive to him, not a wife.

Unexpectedly Carolina was very proactive in including her in the harem as her wife and that surprised Andrew even more. They both discussed the subject for several hours and Carolina finally managed to convince him to accept her.

Although he accepted Carolina's proposal, he made it clear to her that in the end, only time would tell if she could achieve it. Andrew knew that only unconditional love would give Helena the seal of wife, if it was only a relationship for convenience, it would result in a carnal seal or perhaps none at all.

Carolina agreed to Andrew's terms. She wanted to include Helena as his wife, because after interacting so much with her, Carolina had grown fond of her, and Andrew noticed that, but he didn't say anything.

For him, it was more as if Helena, instead of becoming his wife, was going to become Carolina's partner and he would enjoy the situation, which is why he did not give much importance to the subject.

After Helena left the office she went in search of the courtesans and gathered them in the largest ballroom in the Heavenly Palace. Once they were all together, Helena explained everything related to the fashion show.

The courtesans were excited to hear about the event, as it was something different from what they normally did and despite being in the sex industry, they were still women, so wearing new clothes and being admired like any other woman attracted them.

Then the training started. It was nothing complex, they just had to change their clothes and walk the catwalk in a flirtatious and provocative way, but without it looking unnatural.

Although it sounded simple, it wasn't. They weren't used to walking around in long elegant dresses, if you added to that the fact that they had to do it sensually, it added several levels of difficulty.

It was different to interact with the clients that they knew were coming to have sex with them than to show sensuality to attract the eyes of others towards the clothes they were wearing.

Andrew wanted the girls to be sexy and attractive, to steal the looks, but at the end of the day, the stars of the event had to be the designs they were wearing, as this was a demonstration to sell what they were wearing, not the models.

This put some additional stress on the courtesans, as they not only had to fulfill their obligations as courtesans in the operation of the business but also had to perfect their performances for the modeling event.

Andrew had noticed the enthusiasm in Helena and the courtesans for the event he had prepared for Candice, but he had also noticed that the girls were trying more than necessary and so he decided to intervene.

He was by no means an expert on fashion shows. At most, he would have seen some of these on television in his previous life, but that only gave him a general idea, even so, he believed that he was much more experienced than anyone in this world.

Interrupting the training session he said, "Ladies, take a break and come here and listen to me for a moment." Hearing the comment, everyone present stopped and was a little nervous, because they knew that things were not going well and they were afraid that Andrew would scold them.

Andrew realized the misunderstanding the girls had just by seeing the look on their faces and with a soft smile he began to speak, "Girls, I'm not mad at you. I am the one who is demanding so much from you in such a short time, but I have noticed that you are making an unnecessary effort, so things will not improve ".

The girls were somewhat relieved by Andrew's words and noted that Andrew continued, "First of all I don't expect perfection. This is not your best quality or profession, so relax and second I see that you have forgotten your best qualities.

These words brought confusion and Sonia, unable to hold herself back as the leader of the courtesans, took the spokesperson and asked, "Young master, can you be more specific?"

Andrew smiled and began to explain, "You're focusing too much on walking and putting on an appearance that doesn't look natural. The designs were custom-made for you, so you don't have to worry about your appearance, you already look beautiful and sensual."

Pausing, Andrew looked around at all the attendees and continued, "What I'm looking for from you is confidence walking and I know what confidence you have, otherwise you couldn't do this job. Do not separate this from your activities, how do you act in front of the customers?

After the question, the room remained silent. The girls seemed deep in thought, not knowing what Andrew wanted to tell them, and were suddenly snapped out of that state with another comment from Andrew.

"Girls, smile provocatively, play your roles, raise your head, sway your hips, make onlookers want to see your ass and titties, as you walk the runway, that's no different than what you do every day, just that the distance is a little longer".

Andrew's comments were so simple yet powerful that even Helena's mouth dropped open in surprise. She had made a mistake, she had strayed from the main objective and Andrew's words had given her inspiration she said, "Young master, forgive me, I have made a mistake, I know what to do, give me another chance".

Andrew looked at Helena's expression full of confidence and determination and smiled because he understood that the girl seemed to have an idea and with a slight nod of the head he said, "Then I'll leave it to you. Don't stress too much just do your best."

Then Andrew got up and left. All the courtesans watched him leave with puzzled expressions on their faces, as they still did not fully understand his words, but Helena quickly took her position as a head courtesan and began to issue instructions.

She had understood what Andrew wanted to do. At first, when she received the task, she wanted them to move elegantly and highlight the dresses and lingerie the girls were wearing, but after hearing what Andrew said, she realized that she was wrong.

What she had to do was show the courtesans how to move in a provocative way to tempt the audience, because that way they would notice what the girl was wearing.

In other words, before she wanted to make the outfits stand out and therefore the movement of the girls looked unnatural, but now she wanted the opposite. Now she wanted the girls to focus on them, to move gracefully and not worry about the dresses, because they stood out by their light.

After explaining this to the courtesans, many of them still didn't get the idea, but some more perceptive ones like Sonia understood immediately. After a demonstration Helena was pleased and the other courtesans quickly understood what they should do.

With this new direction, the changes were evident and within a few days, Andrew was pleased with the improvements. Time passed quickly and the agreed day had arrived.

In the morning hours, Candice's distinctive carriage arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Palace together with her expressionless and cold butler. She was received by Víctor and after a courtesy greeting, he led her to the ballroom where the event would take place.
