Opening the door, the guard admitted a woman to your room. She was dressed in a simple kirtle that fell to her knees. The attendants hair was the color of a ravens wing, and with her clear complexion and high arched eyebrows she was more than passably attractive. The Woman took one look at you in your robe and she looked down at the floor blushing prettily.
“I am Mia Mistress, and I will assist you with your before dinner bath.” the attendant said being careful not to look directly at you.
Delight and a sense of relief washes over you at the attendants obvious discomfort looking at you in the skimpy robe. This was obviously a new servant fresh from the village you decide, maybe you could use this mistake to your advantage, and get some information on the castle and its owner.
“Mia, I’m not going to bite you, and certainly the floor is not all that interesting.” You reassure the servant.
Slowly Mia’s eyes move up your legs stopping at where the robe stops at mid thigh the blush rushing back into her cheeks.
“Its Okay Mia.” You reassure the young woman “And you don’t need to call me mistress, please call me Liandra.” You tell her.
“Yes Mistre…..er Liandra,” Mia says with a shy smile,
You return Mia’s smile with a feeling of triumph, this turn of events could be the answer to your prayers. Now if you could only convince, shy little Mia, to help you get out of this predicament. The guard had a look of confusion on his face and that made this all the sweeter as far as you were concerned.
You decide to move this along “If you could Mia, please lead me to the bathing chamber, I’m anxious to wash the blood and dirt off me.” You request.
“This way Miss…. Liandra” She says, uncertainty in her voice.
The two of you descend to the next landing, when you look back noticing, your door guard wasn’t following you.
Mia notices you looking back and speaks up, “Her Grace had decreed that so long as you follow orders and don’t try to escape, a guard constantly following you is unnecessary,”
Nodding you file that pieces of information away, as the two of you start down the stairs again.
“Mia, where is the bathing chamber?” You ask when the two of you get to the base of the tower.
“They are in a lower level of the castle Mi…. Liandra where some natural hot springs well up into a pool” Mia tells you.
“Pool, as in one?” You ask,
“Yes Liandra, it’s a large communal bath.” Mia says apologetically.
Heat flames up deep in you belly, at the thought of someone watching you in the bath, or even more perversely you spying upon someone else. Gulping in a suddenly dry mouth, you couldn’t help but notice the seductive sway of Mia’s hips as the two of you passed into the Main hall. Looking around you noticed several people in the room a couple women, several men, and Even a big red skinned Demon standing next to the main door. The other things you notice, is that all activity stopped and everyone was staring at you.
Feeling uncomfortable, you and Mia hurry on but not before you hear one of the women in the room observe to her companion in your hearing, “That one looks delicious, I hope Lilith will be willing to share after she finishes breaking her in.”
You face flaming, Mia leads you out of the Great Hall into a series of hallways. Coming to a door she opens it and a wave of humidity washes over you.
