Arcadia's Ignoble Knight: Dark Elf Arc

Chapter 52

The room that Caspian, Christo, and Derek had been given was surprisingly nice. It had four beds, and while it didn't have much in the way of furniture, it was spacious and possessed nice decorations in the form of tapestries and artwork hanging from the walls. There was also a door off to the side.

"These will be your quarters for the foreseeable future," Sebas said to the group. "That door leads into the private bathing room. Please make sure you all freshen up, as I am sure her ladyship will call for you sometime soon."

Sebas left the trio alone. As the door closed and the sound of his footsteps grew faint, Christo wandered over to one of the beds and leapt onto it, bouncing a few times before going still.

"Aaahhhh! Finally a chance to relax!" he cheered.

Caspian rolled his eyes. "We're not here to relax, Christo. We have a job to do."

"I know that, but come on! At least let me get some sleep!"

"We can't afford to sleep! Get off that bed now!"

"We should do what Sebas suggested," Derek told them seriously. "I'm sure Ameralda will call upon one of us sooner or later. When she does, that person will need to be ready to get the information we want out of her."

"We need to find out where Collafloore is," Caspian said with a nod.

"Right."

"Okay!" Christo leapt off the bed and grinned. "Then I'm getting in the bath first!"

"That's fine. Just hurry it up. Don't take too long," Caspian said.

"Righto!"

Caspian moved over to one of the beds and sat down as Christo skipped into the private bathing room. As the door closed behind the exuberant man, Caspian massaged his forehead and took several deep breaths. What they were doing here was incredibly dangerous. Not only were they in the middle of what could be considered enemy territory, they didn't have any weapons.

"Whoa!! This tub has air jets!!" a sudden shout erupted from the bathing room.

"That friend of yours is quite excitable," Derek said with a smile.

"Too excitable," Caspian agreed.

Christo came out of the bath about fifteen minutes later. Caspian wanted to complain about taking too long, but when he saw the bathing room, he suddenly understood why it had taken Christo so long to bathe. The room really was extravagant. Everything was made from porcelain, and the tub really did have jets that blew out water.

Unlike Christo, Caspian did not spend more than five minutes in the shower. He rinsed off with soap and shampoo, and then dried himself and got dressed. He came out and let Derek enter next.

While Derek was in the bathing room, Sebas came back inside and looked at Caspian.

"Her ladyship is requesting your presence," he said. "Follow me."

Caspian stood up from the bed and followed Sebas outside. They walked through several hallways and soon reached a door that had golden motifs decorating the surface. Sebas knocked on the door three times.

"I have brought your new slave as request, your ladyship."

"Good. Send him in."

Sebas opened the door and gestured for Caspian to enter. He did, his ears twitching as he turned his head left and right, studying the room. Thanks to the low-lighting, the room had a very warm glow. It complimented the dark woods being used for most of the furniture. Sitting over on the bed, dressed in only a sheer gown that showed off her breasts and revealed to Caspian that she wasn't wearing panties, was Ameralda.
