  But it’s while I’m enjoying the dinner with Votan and the other members of the family that I casually discovered something about Colette. As he usually do, Varon was asking to all of us how our day was and, of course, if me and Votan have some news about the assassin we are still looking for and who can lead us to that mysterious “noble lion”. I can see a painful shadow in his eyes when we both have to admit the fact we weren’t able to move a single step forward and get close to his identity, something every member of the family wish I and Votan can do soon as possible.
It was while I was talking about I was welcomed at “The Anvil” that I involuntary mention the other tavern, the “Silver Horn”, and how different is the atmosphere in two so similar places. In “The Anvil”, the main attraction is the excellent food and wine, as I have discovered, while at the “Silver Horn” is the wife of the owner, Colette, even if the food she cook is probably far more delicious than the one I tasted at “The Anvil”.

“Aaaah, the Silver Horn….how can I forget the nights spent there, drinking hale with the other guards!?” Varon says, with a little malicious smile.

“Just drinking, father!?” Kathleen asks, noticing it.

“You know I never has betrayed the memory of your mother, Kathleen….she is the only woman I ever loved!”

“I know it, father….” the girl replies, smiling “but you can’t deny the fact that Colette was and still is an attractive girl!”

Their words sound strange to me. From what I heard, Varon has left his role of Captain of the Guards around ten years ago due to some physical disease caused even by the abuse of alcohol and he is the kind of man who never broke a promise when he do one. So, how is it possible that Colette was fascinating him when she was twelve or thirteen!? Something is not so clear for me, so I interrupt them.

“Indeed, Colette is a fashinating woman now, but ten years ago she was nothing more then a kid!”

They all look at me as if I have just said the funniest thing they ever heard, then Varon continues.

“Lady, how old you think Colette is!?”

Before answering him, I think at it for a little, trying to recall her image in my mind, something really esay considering all the time we spent together.

“Mmm, I can’t tell it very well, but maybe she’s twenty-two or twenty-three….”

Varon smiles at my answer and with the same malicious smile he has when he was talking about the nights passed at the “Silver Horn”, he answered me.

“You are far from the truth, my child….Colette is already fourthly!”

That revelation shocked me. I always has presumed that Colette have my same age or is even younger than me, judging by the juvenile appearance she has, and never has passed in my mind the idea that she can be even older than Votan! After this revelation, even the fact she has accepted to marry a man who is now around fifty didn’t looks strange how it was the first time Votan has introduced me to them to gave me a place where I can stay till the tournament isn’t over.

“Colette opened the Silver Horn twenty years ago, when she arrived in Libidinis with her husband” Varon continues, looking at me “and till the first day, the tavern became really popular, in the city”

“Colette became popular, father!” Kathleen says, interrupting him.

The old man nods at her words, a little spacing out lost in his thoughts. No wonder that even a man with a strong resolution and will as Varon is was fascinated by a so attractive and voluptuous girl as Colette is, after all he lost his beloved wife twenty-five years ago, when Horgus was just a child, and it’s normal for a man like him to still have certain desire. Anyway, despite the solitude he sensed for years, Varon never has looked for a woman who can take the place of his wife.

“Indeed she was, Kathleen, and she still is. Apparently, it seems like if time has stopped for her….” Varon continues, taking a little break “she is still looking the same girl who arrived here…”

Lots of interesting information, I must say, and her real age is the one which really surprised me. I wonder if Karina is informed of this or if even she was fooled by her appearance, so far from the true age of that enigmatic woman. Anyway, this new information is still not solving the question I have in mind till this morning, after I talked again with Karina at the “Silver Horn”, and even Xenia wasn’t so helpful as I was hoping, except for the fact that she was able to explain me many things about the essence which is probably used by Colette to takes other women under her control. I need more information, especially about the hot springs, so I make my next move.

“I heard that Colette is a co-owner of the hot springs….is that right!?”

“It is, Lady….” Varon immediately replies, without hesitation “She bought it two or maybe three years after she arrived in the city”

“Judging by the amount of visitors it have every day, she must has paid an high fee to buy it!”

“Mmmm, maybe not, Lady….” Kathleen says, placing her glass down back on the table “I heard rumors that say she made a very low offer to the old owner….but strangely, this one accepted it!”

“Was this old owner….a woman!?”

“She was….how did you know it, Lady!?”

Kathleen is now looking at me with her deep eyes, as if she is trying to examine me to understand why I’m suddenly so interested in Colette and her story, to don’t mention her business! Probably, Kathleen is suspecting something but I can’t tell till which point she has understand my real intention hidden behind the questions I’m making to them all. And I must admit it, the help of a so smart girl as Kathleen is can be of great help for me, but for the moment, I prefer to don’t reveal to her the doubt I have about Colette.

“Just an intuition….” I reply to her, looking straight in her eyes “Running a place like that didn’t fit to a man, I think”

“But not even to a woman, I must say….” Votan interrupt us, looking at me first, then at Kathleen “I heard voices of activities which have nothing to do with an hot springs”

“Are you talking of the massages, brother!?” Kathleen asks, a little pissed off “I was sure you weren’t the kind of man who is scandalized by places like that!”

“I’m not scandalized, Kath, but I think a public bath isn’t the right place for phisical interactions….”

Kathleen can’t hold a soft laugh, then she looks back at Votan, still smiling at his words.

“You think it’s sex, Votan!? You can’t be so far then this from the true!”

Oh, how wrong she is! And I can tell this thanks to the experience I had there right with Colette! I can’t say if Kathleen was never approached by her and if even my new sister has fallen in the net that Colette is always ready to throw at her victims, especially if they are beautiful as Kathleen is. Anyway, despite my doubts, I can clearly tell that even Kathleen has take advantage of the services provided in the hot springs or she have no rights to defend it with so much vigor as she is doing right now.

“Someone has ever seen the other co-owner of that structure!?” I ask, interrupting them.

And the answer Votan, Varon and Kathleen gave me, didn’t surprise me so much: no one have ever seen her or him! But then, Varon says something that sounds really interesting.

Apparently, it seems like that the co-owner is a woman who is a member of a noble’s family which is not originally of Libidinis and is still not living here but in the City of Rhoonas, the city where I spent the last three years of my life! Finally, I discovered an interesting clue which can lead me to get rid of the mystery around Colette and her activities! Of course, this is just a small step and I need more information about that noble’s woman but it’s still something I can use to get close to what is really happening around Colette, after all!
From what Varon knows, it looks like the woman went here in Libidinis for the Summer Festival and she was fascinated by the atmosphere of the city till the point she took the decision to have her own activity here, without transferring her residence. But at that time, and even now, to run an activity in Libidinis was necessary to be a citizen of this city, so she wasn’t able to realize her dream. And it was when she came here for the second consecutive year that she met Colette and took the decision to cooperate with her to realize what she had in mind. In fact, the law of Libidinis is still permitting to people who have their residence outside the city to open an activity in it, all they need is to find someone who is interested into create a cooperation, figuring as partners inside the activity itself.
Plus, judging by the description Varon did of that woman, I can say that it perfectly match with the one Xenia gave me just few hours ago while I was at her shop: long dark blonde hair and some fine decorated dress! Indeed, now that woman has changed, considering the fact that she was already forty when she visited Libidinis for the first time, eighteen years ago, and now her hair has turned grey and maybe are not long as they was in the past. Anyway, Varon was able to add an interesting detail about her: a medallion hanged on a gold necklace which have the effigy of a lion head on it which was so similar to the one of the third most important family of Libidinis. But instead of lion, on the one of that family there is sculpted the head of a panther, so the old man is practically sure of the fact that there are no effective links between them.

“Do you remember the name of that woman, father!?” I ask him, full of trepidation I can barely hide, especially to Kathleen.

“Mmm, you are asking me something really difficult, Lady….” the man replies as he is trying to focus on it “To many years are passed from the day I met her!”

Indeed, I can’t pretend that Varon is still remembering the name of a woman he met just one time and so far in the past, but the detail of the medallion can be helpful to link it with the name of one of the noble’s families of Rhoonas. After all, during the numerous banquets Lord Barton has organized to celebrate my successes in the tournaments, I have met them all several time and probably some of them were wearing that same medallion or something similar with the same effigy. And it’s while I’m focusing on the details of their dresses and ornaments that the voice of Varon bring my attention back to him.

“Cabonette!” the old man yell “Louise Cabonette!”

Cabonette….Cabonette! It doesn’t matter how hard I try to focus to it, that name tell nothing to me and I’m quite sure I never heard it inside the wall of Rhoonas. Of course, there is the possibility that the whole family has moved away from the city, even selling all the proprieties they possessed and now they are living elsewhere or even in another kingdom! Anyway, finally, I have a name to use to continue my research about Colette and all the mysteries which are around her.

While me and Votan are walking down the streets to meet Serpentina and the other gladiators at “The Anvil”, I can’t stop thinking at all the information I was able to collect in few hours. Of course, I’m still far from the truth Colette is hiding, but I’m quite sure to be a step closer to it even if there is more to do to finally discover the truth behind her. Anyway, for the rest of the night, all I want is to relax and enjoy the company of my beloved Votan and of the other gladiators, drinking and laughing as we already have done during other still too warm nights of the Festival.

“Sir….Sir Votan!”

The voice of a surprised Karina interrupts our pleasant talk. The girl stand in front of us, still wearing her armor which is shining under the last rays of light, making her appear even cutest than how she normally is. Meeting her so suddenly, makes me feel a little nervous and a little uncomfortable, especially if I think at how my body was reacting early in the afternoon when I was at Xenia’s shop. My cheeks has turn light red but probably Votan and Karina didn’t notice it, thanks to the bright red light of the now almost gone sun. For a moment, I can’t avoid to stare at her and especially at the long and toned thighs and what’s hidden right between them. A strange but pleasant heat is now running in my body but hearing Votan’s voice make me calm more than how I was expecting.

“Are you still patrolling the streets, Karina!? If I remember well, it wasn’t on your schedule, today!”

“Oh no, Captain….I wasn’t!” the girl replies, a little nervous “I went to the hot springs for a relaxing bath and….well, I fell asleep in the tub!”

Fell asleep, sure….fell in Colette arms, probably! But it’s something too embarrassing to admit for a young girl as she is, so she came out with that excuse, and in some way, the image of Colette and Karina together disturb me more than I want to admit. Is it possible that I’m jealous of the relationship between them!? Me, who never was fascinated by my same gender till I came to this strange city! Damn….what the hell it’s happening to me now!? Then, the insecure tone of Karina’s voice throws my attention away from those lascivious thoughts.

“I have to go now….I’m already in late for dinner!”

Telling this, Karina was about to leave us when words I wasn’t expecting come out of my mouth.

“Why don’t you join us at The Anvil!? You can eat something there with us!”

Both Votan and Karina were surprised by my request but the girl looks even embarrassed by it, probably because she is conscious of the relationship which has recently born between me and Votan, something we don’t have already revealed to other people and neither to our family.

“Oh no, Lady….I don’t want to disturb you!” the girl replies, taking a step back.

“Oh, you are not disturbing us, Karina….plus, there are even some of the other gladiators already waiting us there!”

Telling this, I smile at the girl and again, the shameless image of her at the hot springs come back in my mind, causing a more intense reaction in my shaft. The girl looks hesitant in accepting my invite but I can’t tell if it’s just because of the relationship between me and Votan, anyway more I look at her more I have the sensation that there is something more behind it, even if I can’t say what’s it. But it’s thanks to Votan that Karina finally accept to join us for a nigth of fun and happiness, full of laughs and with rivers of hale in our glasses.

When we arrive at “The Anvil”, Damian, Serpentina, Kyla and most of the gladiators are all there, already drinking and laughing. When they seen us coming in, they all rise their glasses to welcome us and to have another excuse to make them empty and fulfill them again.

“Finally, the next champion of the tournament is arrived!” someone yells, while we try to find a table where we can sit and order something “let’s celebrate all night!”

At those words, more laughs fill the tavern, as if the place wasn’t already enough noisy. Walk thorough the tables isn’t easy but at last we were able to reach the table where Damian, Serpentina and Kyla were waiting us with two glasses already full of hale. We sit around the table and introduce Karina to the other and soon, the girl started to feel more comfortable in this ambient, a little not so familiar for her. Of course, she has already visited a tavern, we where here in the early afternoon too, but never during evening, when people leave all the tiredness and problems of the day behind their back, trying to live a moment of serenity and happiness.
Time runs fast and with it, tons of hale fulfill our glasses many times, till the point we were all a little dizzy, especially Karina who isn’t so used to drink that much, considering her age. It was around midnight when she step out of the tavern to enjoy some fresh air and find some relieve from the atmosphere which can be breathed inside and which is totally new to her. She was looking at the stars in the sky, with her back laying on the wall, a little spacing out even because of the great amount of hale she drunk and she didn’t immediately notice me while I’m standing few steps far away, staring at her. It was after she has taken a deep breath that she noticed me.

“Are you ok, Karina!?” I ask, moving closer.

“I am, just….” the girl looks up at the sky again, then continues “this is all new for me!”

“And maybe, you glass was fulfilled too many time….and too much!” I say, smiling at her.

Karina nods at me, without saying any words. Now, her cheeks has turned light red but despite this, she didn’t appears in need of help to stand by herself and I’m quite sure she can even handle a fight if an emergency will be announced by the other guards who are patrolling the city during the night. Of course, before she can join them to protect the city she have to rescue her sword inside the tavern and with it even part of the armor she has removed because of the heat caused by the alcohol. And now, her chest is covered just by a thin leather top without sleeves and which leave totally exposed her belly. Black, it’s closed on the front by a single lace which Karina was forced to loosen because of the heat caused by the alcohol and by the euphoric atmosphere, giving to everyone the possibility to partially admire her cleavage.
That vision has caught even my attention of course, and move my eyes away from it wasn’t so easy, to the point many times I have suspected the fact that Karina has noticed me staring at her. But maybe I was wrong, because the girl has never tried to cover hersef, neither she never has look at me with the usual expression she made when she is upset by something or someone. And now I’m here, outside “The Anvil”, so close to her in the heart of the night, with my heart pounding faster because of the alcohol and of her. I lay on the wall by her side, looking at that girl I met just three days ago and which is now capturing my attention in a way I never have experienced before. Not with a girl, anyway!
Karina is still looking up at the stars, when she suddenly spoke.

“When I was a child, someone told me that stars are the souls of people we loved who are looking at us from the sky”

“Then, even my mother and Horgus are there looking at me….” I reply, looking up at the stars.

Karina is now looking at me, a little surprised by my words and for the first time, she can see my human’s side, something I don’t reveal so easily. With a little and gentle smile appearing on her face, she continues.

“Who is Horgus, if I can ask!?”

“Horgus is the man who loved me till I arrived here in Libidinis….the first and only one, till that moment”

I look down at the ground then at Karina, forcing myself to smile to don’t ruin the pleasant atmosphere we were experiencing during all the evening. But probably, she has noticed it and immediately apologize with me. This time, the smile I show to her appears more relaxed and natural and it gives to Karina some relieve, as if she was feeling guilty for what she has said. Then, I continue.

“Horgus gave his life to save me….he’s death has leaved a deep scar in my heart”

“I’m sorry, Lady….I’m bringing back to your mind some really bad memories!”

“They never leave me alone, Karina….” I reply, shaking my head and standing up “but I was lucky….his family has accepted me and their love is healing my wounded heart”

“The love of the family….or the one of Sir Votan!?”

“Geez, yuo really are a smart girl….” I say, scratching my head “Votan is the most important presence in my life at the moment, but now….”

“Now!?” the girl asks, while she is staring at me standing close right in front of her.

“Now there is even someone else who has caught my attention….”

“Who is this one!?” she asks, with an innocent tone.

“You….”

[hentaiboy69]

“Is everything fine, Lady!?” Karina asks, interrupting my thoughts.

I nod at her then take a long sip from my glass, just to slam it on the table when I’m done. The girl look at me rising an eyebrow, as if she’s thinking that something isn’t exactly as I told her. And she’s not so far from the truth, I must say, but I have to hide what I’m really thinking and planning to her, at the moment. But at the same time, I have to find a way to unmask what is really happening in the hot springs almost everyday, before something can happen to its customers. Something they can regret, one day.
Anyway, before doing any move what I need aare more information about Colette, her husband and of the whole structure of the hot springs and of their employers. I know Colette is a co-owner but during all the time I was at the place or walking around the city, I heard no rumors about the other one who run it with the woman. And this is strange too,m honestly talking! How is it possible that no one ever seen or evemn talked with them, especially considering how renomate the structure is even between the nobles which came from the nearest cities!? It really seems as if the number of secrets around is growing….I wonder how many there are that I don’t know!? And probably, even Votan have no clue of this….or I think so, anyway!

The ovations of joy alternated with scream of frustration due to the loss of many moneys, makes me understand that the match has finally decretate the name of my next opponent in the tournament. I must admit that I’m really curious to know who the winner is but at the moment I’m too concentrated on Colette that I don’t care so much about it, after all I’ll be informed about it before it will be dawn! It was Damian, at last, the one who informed me and Karina about it.

“Seems like you have to face that strange girl, Lady!” the felinx says, particularly euphoric.

“Who, that girl who always reach the third place in any tournament!?” I ask, not so surprised.

“Exactly, her….but I can’t remember the name!”

”I think you are talking of Lady Brandy….” Karina interrupt us, revealing her name to us “she is an excellent gladiators, even if she never has win a tournament”

Me and Damian look at each other, surprised, then the felinx turns back to Karina.

“Seriously!? She never reached the first place!?”

“It’s what I heard, Sir Damian….nothing more, nothing less” the girl replies, taking a last sip from her now empty glass.

Judging by what I have seen during her matches, it sound very difficult to me to believe to Karina’s words, but I can’t deny the reality behind them because any other gladiator in the arena was murmuring about her and the fact she always end at the third place, no matter how strong her opponents can be. Me and Damina stare at each other perplexed then the felinx turns back to look at the board where the portraits of every gladiator are.

“Maybe there is something behind this….”

“And what’s it, Damian!?” I ask, looking at the board too.

“Have no idea….” the felinx replies, lifting his shoulders “It’s just a thought I have….”

“Maybe you could be right, Sir….” Karina says, interrupting the felinx.

Both me and Damian turn to Karina at the same time, looking at her with an iterrogative expression on our faces. Then, the girl continues.

“There were some disorders around the market, few days ago…..I heard rumors about the fact she was involved in them”

“Involved!? And how!?” I ask, looking straight at Karina.

“I don’t know, but apparently someone was chasing her.”

Again, something is happening in this city, something no one can explain eccept the peoples involved in it. Of course, this situation appears far different from the one which involve Colette and the whole structure of the hot springs, but this doesn’t change the fact that everything is happening inside the wall of city. Anyway, when I’m gouing to have that girl, Brandy, right in fron of me, probably I can solve part of this mistery, I presume….but till that moment, I have something else to take care and the first one is mine and Karina investigations. Still thiniking at that gladiator and at the possible situation she’s involved in, I stand up.

“Well, I think it’s time for us to move back to our duty, Karina.”

The girl nods at my words and without any hesitations, she follow me outside the tavern where we are immediately surrounded by the heat of summer and by the sounds of the whole city, electricized for the many events which are running in every corner during the festival.

  Again, we hit the streets of Libidinis looking for all the informations we can collect, but in my mind I can’t stop thinking at Colette and at Brandy, which both seems involved in strange activities no one is informed of. More I think at them, more I wonder how many secrets lay behind the apparently calm which this city demonstrate when you visit it for the first time. Of course, the festival makes the city really noisy and full of life, so I can’t say it’s really vcalm at the moment, but now it appears really different from the city I seen when I arrived here on what was remaining of Lord Barton’s ship. Indeed, at that time the city was busy with the last preparations for the festival, but despite this there was not so much chaos as now and walk along its street was damn far easy than today.
Anyway, at the moment I have another priority in mind and I’m trying to figure out a strategy to accomplish at this one too. And it’s why I’m thinking at that delicious but strange scent Colette always has that the meeting with that elf in the market jump back in my mind and with it, even the memories of the relaxing effect that flower had on me. If I remember it well, the name of that elf was Xenia and she told me about the shop she own, a shop I have no idea where to exactly find, even if I can presume it’s somewhere in the market. But at the moment, I don’t want to ask information about her to Karina….I don’t want to give to the girl any hint about what I’m planning to do!

And it’s when the bells of the monastery announced the imminent begin of the late afternoon prayer that I take the decision to go and meet Xenia. With the excuse to be in need of the services of a blacksmith to adjust part of my armor, I left Karina on the way for the hot springs, where Colette is probably waiting her for another steamy session and, I can presume, to be informed about me. Find the potions’ shop wasn’t difficult and now I’m right in front of it, waiting for Xenia who is temporary away. Even with the main door closed, from the inside I can smell the fragrance of the primulae soavious, the flower the elf gave me at our first meet. The scent is feeble but I can clearly sense it thank to my fine nose and it seems really similar to the one which was overwhelming me and Karina in the private changing room of the hot springs, so I can clearly tell that the primulae is one ingredient of the mysterious fragrance Colette use to submit her victims under her control.
It takes a little before I can hear the sound of light footsteps coming into my direction. Every elf I met before I came in Libidinis have light footsteps, but this one are the lightest one I ever heard and I know who is the one they belong: Xenia! In fact, when I turn to the direction where they are coming, I can see her coming closer with two baskets full of many different plants and herbs she probably use to prepare the potion she sell in the shop. I stand from the crate where I was sitting and approach her, with a gentle smile.

“May I offer my help to the one who did the same when I was in need of it!?”

The elf appears surprised to see me, but not at all, as if she was expecting a visit from me to her shop soon or later. She have the same sweet and pretty smile she gave to me the first time we met, but this time she have no flowers with her, just two heavy baskets which are forcing her to walk slowly down the crowed street. At my words, she stops and place one of them on the ground, as if she’s looking for some relieve from transporting it.

“Milady, as I already told you, there is no need to help me to pay that flower I gave you”

“It’s not for that” I reply, shaking my head as I grab the basket which still stay on the ground “It’s a pleasure to help you for me and….well, I hope you can help me again”

“Help you? And how, Milady!?” Xenia replies, as her expression changes.

“I’ll explain it, but not here….it’s something that requires some discretion”

“Very well, Milady….we can talk in my shop!”

I nod at her and follow the elf inside. Immediately, an overwhelming amount of different fragrances hit my nose, causing to me a moment of deep confusion and making my whole body tremble as if forces are leaving me. Immediately, Xenia runs to me to support my body before I can fall on the floor. She helped me to reach the back of the shop where her laboratory is, and make me seat on the only chair she has there. Then, she opened the window, making fresh air fill the room attenuating the effect of that mix of scents and giving me some relieve from them.

“I’m so sorry, Milady….” she says, as she pass me a glass full of water “I forget how sensible your nose can be!”

I look back at her and smile as I take the glass directly from her hands. Now that I’m so close to her, I can tell that she is probably one of the most cute elven girls I ever met: her face have some gentle and fine lines which give her some really evanescent beauty, as she is a spirit. The color of her eyes and hair is the only unusual thing for the elven race: they are both light brown and the hair smell as if she has just washed them but without using the products normally used at the Libidinis’ hot spring. A scent I already have sense even here in the shop, so I can presuming she was using some of the herbs she have here for washing them.
As I drink the water she gently gave me, I can’t avoid to stare at her hair and at last, Xenia has noticed it but she didn’t say a word about it, something I did when I’m done with the water.

“Strange hair color for an elf….”

“Indeed it is” she replies not so surprised by my words “I think it depend by the fact that one of my ancertors wasn’t an elf but a human”

The answer leave me surprised. One of her ancestors isn’t an elf!? How it could be!? I heard stories about elves and their ancestral fear, let’s say, for mixing their blood with the one of other races! There is even a lengend which says that the race of the naga was born due to the curse which was thrown to an elven’s clan who was trying to use black magic to dominate other clans and, at last, they were all cursed by the ancient spirits which make them continue their lives sneaking on the ground! So, how she can have just one ancestor who is not human? After a moment of hesitation, I take the decision to ask it to her.

“So, there is human’s blood running in your veins!?”

Xenia nods at me, without telling a word. Then, after she has take a look all around us, she answered to me.

“Exactly, Milady, there is human’s blood in me as there is some in yours. I don’t know when or how it happened, but it’s a story which got lost in the far past”

Human’s blood, she sayd….indeed there is some and I know it well, but there is a big difference between us. Despite she is not a pure blood, her appearance is the one of a normal elf so it’s far easy for her to be well accepteb by the other member of her race, something which was preclused to me seens I turned six even causing the departure of my beloved mother.

“It’s not the human’s blood which scare me, Xenia….it’s the one of the demon which sleep in me that I fear!”

The elf looks at me, perfectly conscious of what I’m talking about. For me, after seventeen years, is impossible to hide my true nature and we both know it, but despite this I can tell I was lucky during this last three years because I was able to find someone who loved me for what I really am. And even now that I lost him, I’m not alone, not anymore! She smiles at me, then spoke.

“Blood can be a curse as a benedition, it all depend by how we use the skills it give to us, Milady”

“I presume you are right, but….please, stop calling me Milady, I’m not a noble!”

“Lady….”I reply, standing up “As all my friends do!”

“Isn’t Lady a strange name!?” the elf asks, a little surprised by my fast recovery.

“Well, always better than be named as monster….isn’t it!?”

We both explode in a loud laugh which soon fills the whole laboratory. While smiling, she appears even cutiest than how she is and even the fact she is not wearing armored gloves and boots makes Xenia appears more feminine than how she was the first time we met and now I can clearly understand why many men are fashinated by female elves to the point they don’t hesitate to pay incredible amount of Sheckles to slaves merchants to have one of them at their service. Even excessive beauty can be dangerous in this world and too many girls and women have the disgrace to learn this terrible lesson and it’s all due to the strong, sometime obsessive, desire humans have to obtain what they want at any costs. They are even ready to begin a war if the subject of their desire is something a single man can’t have, even if he has the power to rule a whole kingdom. And this is exactly what the Kingdom of Swabia and the one of Ghortan are doing just to expand the territories under their influence, causing pain and sufferance in the people who live in those lands.
And probably, Colette is the perfect example of how human’s desire can guide them during their lives. I don’t know what the girl want to obtain controlling so many girls and women, maybe it’s just to satisfy her incredible lust or maybe there is something else behind it….I have no clue of this at the moment! But I want to find the answer for myself and, of course, for Karina, a too much smart girl to fall at Colette’s feet so easily without opposing some resistance! And it’s while I’m thinking at her that the shameless image of the girl jump in my mind, causing me sensations I wasn’t expecting about her. Her lips, that perfect and almost naked body, so feminine and toned with its curves….and that hand, which was greedily exploring her intimacy….why my heart has started to pound so faster all of a sudden!? Till now, I never was attracted by other girls, except Colette of course, but that wasn’t something natural! Is it possible that I desire Karina so much all of a sudden!? For the first time, I can feel my body burn as I think at a girl and even my dick has started to react: I can feel it growing in my panties which are now so tight and I wonder if my thin dress can hide it from Xenia’s eyes!

“Calm down, Lady…..calm down!” I say to myself, taking a deep breath, but the image of Karina didn’t want to go out of my head. Not so easily, anyway!

“Is everything fine, Lady!?” a worried Xenia asks me.

I nod at her, taking a second deep breath which partially helped me to calm the beat of my heart. Then, when I feel enough comfortable with that unexpected sensations, I turn to the elf well determinated to ask her some information about Colette and the fragrance of the primulae soavious and other plants or herbs with similar effect. My question about Colette surprise the elf, which started to answer me talking about the flower she gave me the first time we met. Xenia reveal to me how the effect of the scent of the primulae can be amplified if mixed with extract of a herb which grows on the mountains around Libidinis, but the only effect they have is to get rid of stress and nervosas, even helping peoples who suffer of sleeping disorder. Of course, they can be used in combination with other extracts obtaining an oil with a totally different effect, something which was requested to the elf in past by a young woman she never had seen anymore after that time. And from the description Xenia made of her, I can clearly tell she is not Colette but maybe she could be the mysterious co-owner of the hot springs.
When I ask more information about that woman, Xenia swear to me to have seen her just that time and from the way she was dressed, she apparently seems like a noble woman around forty years. Long dark blonde hair tied in an elegant braid which trail down her chest, were decorating her face which hardly reveal her true age even thanks to big and deep blue eyes, so penetrating as so full of life. The dress, finely decorated with the most incredible flowers which were looking made of gold, complete it leaving just her neck exposed but despite this, Xenia is almost sure of the fact that the woman had a more voluptuous body than the dress was revealing. In fact, the tight corset she was wearing around her waist was partially revealing the big and round bottom the woman had, something the elf can’t say about her cleavage, totally covered by the dress. More details Xenia reveal to me, more my doubts about her true identity grow. That mysterious woman and Colette come from two different worlds and even their status is different! Of course, I can’t say that Colette is a poor woman but I can’t even say that she is rich enough to have some acquaintance with some noble’s family as the other woman probably have.

But even the effect of the oil is interesting. Alone, it have no effect on people if not just the one to release a pleasant scent which refresh the air of a room creating a more relaxing space, even if it’s less effective than the one of the primulae. But this change when it comes in contact with a source of heart, as it can be the flame of a candle or, of course, human’s body. The heat release a particular substance usually entrapped in the oil which have an aphrodisiac effect on almost all the girls of any race known in the Continent of Drakoonia, making them lose any restrain they can normally have. Of course, in case it’s used as a body’s lotion, the scent affect even the one that is using it is affected by its effect and this is why that oil is particularly requested by men or women who are particularly interested in their same gender. The effect is almost immediate and more oil is used, more it become strong, till the point it can cause even the lost of the memory of what was done while inhaling it.
And this perfectly matches with what happened yesterday to Karina. Probably, the girl was exposed at the effect of that oil for long time and before she left the hot springs she was so confused to even don’t remember what was really happened. And it’s thanked to that that Colette was able to hide the true at a smart girl as Karina is. But there is still something I can’t understand about the oil and Colette. While we were together in the changing room, the woman wasn’t looking under the effect of it, something I can’t explain. And even Xenia can’t help me in finding a solution on how to resist to that substance and despite her great experience with plants and flowers, she never heard about any sort of antidote to it except the gender of the one who is inhaling it, which partially explains why it affected me in a lightest way than Karina. But why it didn’t have the same effect on Colette!? This was the only question which remains without an answer when I left Xenia’s shop heading for the Almaan’s Mansion and have dinner with my new family, to don’t mention the fact that the elf didn’t have more information than me about Colette.

[hentaiboy69]

And that's why I added the explanation about the author after the story

[hentaiboy69]

it is, in fact! hope it came out nice to read!

[hentaiboy69]

The small comic you was reading till a moment ago is another part of my project inside the “Continent of Drakoonia”.

It's an hypothetical story with as main characters Lady and Serpentina, the two not humans character. The story itself is placed in the future, something which is still to happen (maybe!?) and it's about a hot night in a hot desert.

The arts are not mine, but I took them all from a comic realized by the great and skilled Johji Manabe, a mangaka I like. They were scanned and edited, arranged in a different way of how they appear in the manga.

Silly project, but I enjoyed it…..hope you will like!

[hentaiboy69]

First post updated! enjoy!

[hentaiboy69]

Feeling lost!?

[hentaiboy69]

Aaaaand…….done!

The whole story is back and there is even something new!

See you next, gladiators!

[hentaiboy69]

As I say this, Serpentina try to jump toward me as she has done several times, but because of the wounds at her tail, the naga isn’t able to reach me and she finish to land on the ground just a couple of feet away from the point she was. And it’s while she is still trying to get her balance back that I attack her with a direct kick on her belly. A kick which makes the naga fly away from me, landing and rolling on the stage for several feet, till she stop nearby the border. Again, she try to stand up, but this time it looks like it’s far difficult for her to rise her body but despite this, I can read the determination to fight in her eyes, a determination I never had seen in the other opponents I faced in many arenas.

“I’m….I’m not still defeated!” she yells while she’s still trying to stand.

But this time, even her arms are trembling and I doubt she could stand again. Even the judge are looking at her carefully, probably worried for the wounds which appear serious because of the blood which is still leaking from them. I step closer to her, well determinate to put an end to our fight and even if I know it will be just for crazy to stand and continue, I’m well conscious of the fact she will not give up till there is even a faint hope for her. to defeat me. I stop just three or four feet away from her.

“Don’t you think it’s time to give up!?” I ask her, looking at her wounds.

“I can’t….no, I don’t want to give up, Lady!”

Serpentina looks at me with burning eyes while she is still trying to stand. Indeed she is a proud gladiator and she have a strong will, maybe too much to recognize how much injured she is. I sigh looking down at her, then I forced her down again placing my right foot over her back. In answer, I can hear her hissing full of rage but I can’t tell if it’s against me or against the fact she can’t react to the situation, but for sure I can tell she is not ready to surrender because I can sense his body still trying to free itself from the pressure I’m exercising on it.

“Stay down, Serpentina” I say to her as I pull her down with more pressure “I know you are a proud warrior, but don’t forget that someone is waiting you!”

I can hear her grinding her teeth and hissing louder while pondering my words. Then, I hear her sighing and relaxing her body, a clear sign of the fact that Serpentina has reached a decision.

“You are right, Lady….it’s a nonsense to win if I have to makes Kyla worry for me….”

The naga took a small break, as if she’s trying to persuade herself that this the right decision. I can understand why she is still hesitating, after all, if I was at her place and knowing how much winning the match can be important, I will probably act as her. This thought bring Horgus and our promise back in my mind. The memories of all the time we spent together and the strong sensations he gave me grip tight my heart and it doesn’t matter how much I try to think at what Votan, his elder brother, is giving to me, I can’t forget the three years we spent together and out love. Lost in my thoughts, Serpentina’s voice suddenly back me to reality.

”I surrender….I don’t want to make Kyla cry for me! She already has done it once and it was enough painfully for her!”

“I surrender!” Serpentina repeat louder, just to be sure the judges can hear her. Hearing this, the whole arena tremble below the incredible ovation of whole the spectators which are watching us. Some looks disappointed, probably because they have lost the money they had bet on the naga’s victory, but at last even those one can’t avoid to celebrate our match, which leave them all with no breath at any single attack as it didn’t happened for long time during the Summer Festival.

“Geez, they are really noisy….aren’t they!?” I ask to Serpentina as I kneel down to offer her my help.

“Indeed they are….too much, sometime!” she replies, smiling and holding my outstretched hand.

As I help her to stand, the ovation rise louder and it continue even when we left the arena to move to the infirmary where Serpentina can finally receive the first aids she need. I can’t tell for how long the ovation continue,  but for sure that wasn’t so soon and even during the introduction of the two next contestants there was an incredible roar which fills the whole arena, forcing the organization to wait till the spectators will calm down a little. Anyway, finally, we were done for today and I can move back to my actual main goal: investigate about Brutu’s assassin!
One of the doctor was examining my injured arm when the door opens and a panting Kyla steps inside the room, looking all around her with worried eyes, till she can see Serpentina, at last. The naga was laying on a bed while another doctor and two assistants are taking care of her wounds, especially the one on the tail. When Serpentina opens her eyes and notice the young girl standing at her side, she smiles at her and with a resigned expression, talks to her.

“Sorry, Kyla….seems like I can’t win this tournament for the third one as I promised….”

The girl, a little surprised by her friend words, shakes her head and hold her hand.

“It’s not important….you are safe and this is all that matter for me!”

They stare at each other in silent for an apparently endless time. More I look at them, more it’s clear how much their feelings for each other are strong and deep. For a moment, the image of what happened at the hot springs between me, Colette and Karina jumps back in my mind and it’s immediately clear for me how much different is the relationship between the two girl from the one which linked Colette and Karina.
I can see the true love between Serpentina and Kyla, even in their eyes as they are still staring at each other, something I didn’t recognized between Colette and Karina. Of course there is physically attraction between them, as there was between me and Colette too, but I’m not sure I can properly say they are lovers and I’m not talking of the fact that Colette is probably hiding her true sexual inclination to her husband.

And right in this moment that I’m thinking about them, the door opens again and Karina appears behind it. “Oh, great!” I say to myself, while the girl approaches me looking at my now bandaged right arm. There were no words between us for long time during which the girl never moves away her emerald eyes from my arm, probably worried by the fact it can be a more serious wound than how it apparently look. Then, after this creepy moment of silence, she finally spills some words.

“Do you prefer to rest for today or join me, Milady!?”

I look at her, surprised and puzzled. Her reaction is unexpected, especially after I run away from the hot springs like that, leaving the girl and Colette alone in the reserved area. Ok, probably my reaction disappointed them, but now….Karina is really acting as if nothing has happened or, probably, that is her way to let me know how embarrassing my reaction to Colette’s attentions was, I can’t tell it clearly, but right now I’m truly confused and starting to feel uncomfortable. I would like to ask her some explanation about this strange, but normal at the eyes of people which don’t know what happened, approach Karina have with me but at last I prefer to avoid the question for the moment and accept to cooperate with the girl again.

“We can continue….this is nothing more than a scratch, so don’t worry!”

Hearing this, Karina turn to the doctor, which was now cleaning his hands in a bowl, as she was looking for his approval before accepting my answer? An approval which don’t lasted too long to arrive and which reassured the young guard about the real conditions of my arm. Karina invite me to follow her outside, someone I’m about to do, but not before I can talk with Serpentina and apologize with her and Kyla for being a little too much “violent” during the match. With my pleasant surprise, the naga explode in a loud and wild laugh as she stand on the bed.

“Don’t worry, Lady!” she says, showing me her muscles “in a couple of hours I’ll be ready for a new challenge!”

“Yeah, sure, and being covered by new several wounds!” Kyla thunders, interrupting and hitting the naga on her belly.

And immediately, a small grimace of pain appears on Serpentina’s face, forcing the naga to support her body with an arm. That scene makes me laugh as I never have done for several days, soon followed by both the girls which are now standing in front of me.

“Better you don’t makes Kyla angry, Serpentina….she looks even stronger than me!”

“Damn, probably you are right, Lady….beside, she have other way to take me under control….”

At this words, Kyla hit Serpentina again, right in the same place, then looks at me, smiling and with her cheeks now totally red.

“Don’t worry, probably she will be not able to fight for a couple of days, but trust me….nothing will stop her to have a hale or two, tonight!”

“Same hour, same place!?” I ask them still laughing till the point some tears leak from my eyes.

“Of course!” is the reply they give me in chorus “and don’t forget to invite Sir Votan!”

“I will!” I say, waving my hand back at them as I and Karina leave the infirmary.

Once outside the arena, I stretched my body a little enjoying the fresh air, even if the sun is still damn hot. The second match scheduled for today, is still running but the atmosphere in the arena looks far different from the one which was caused by me and Serpentina, but this didn’t mean that the spectators are no enjoying it, especially considering the fact that one of the two gladiators, a girl, has show some interesting skills. Anyway, I must stop thinking at the tournament for today and focus back all my attention to mine and Karina mission: find any trace of the mysterious shadow who killed Brutus!

  Walking down the street has become even more difficult now. Everyone who has watched the match want to congratulate with me, forcing us to stop almost at any step we make, to do not ponder the usual huge amount of travelers and citizens who are walking down the street of the city because of the festival. Karina appears pissed off buy this situation, but didn’t say a word from that entire crowd who swear me to be my fan and want to wish me good luck for the next match, which will lead me straight to the one for the first place. I can’t tell if she didn’t stop them from surrounding me because she has orders about it or because she didn’t care….sure thing is we can’t continue with our work till the excitement for match is still so high, so I take a decision.
We move to “The Anvil” for two reasons: the first, is to avoid those so called fan, the second is to get rid of the heat which is grasping the whole city. Of course, I’m quite sure of the fact that Karina will be happier to move to the “Silver Horn” but at last she didn’t make any objections, considering the fact that “The Anvil” is more close to the area where we are at the moment. But even here, as I walk inside all the customers which are now watching at the second match turn to look at me and rise their glasses to celebrate my victory.

“Good job in defeating Serpentina, miss!” a voice said as someone gives me a strong pat on my shoulder.

When I turn to this mysterious one, I immediately recognize him: it’s Damian, the felinx who was fighting against Serpentina at the first round of the tournament! I’m not surprised to see him here, after all most of the gladiators who came from outside Libidinis usually use this tavern as a meeting place or take a room here for the whole festival. What really surprise me is the fact he is not at the arena as other gladiators usually do to study the style and tactics of possible future opponents, but probably he is not interested in spending his Sheckles now that the possibility to reach the top of the tournament was precluded to him from the first day.
Of course, the felinx have a satisfied expression on his face but at the same time I can tell he is a little disappointed because he wasn’t him the one who defeated the naga which he always considered as his strongest rival. Well, till today, anyway! I can clearly read the admiration for me in his eyes but at the same time, even the strong desire to face me in the arena and test his skill against me and prove to himself till which point he improved as gladiators. And I know he will be an excellent opponent, even if not at the same level of Serpentina, of course! Then, Damian continues.

“What bring you here in during day, Lady!?”

“This damn heat wave….I’m not so used to it and I’m really in need for refreshment!”

“Very well, then….” the felinx says, turning back “A glass of hale for our winner!”

“Two, please….one for me and one for my frined!” I yell, pointing at Karina who was standing on the door looking around her, just to look at me when she heard my request.

“No, no alcohol for me….I’m not allowed to drink during my duty!”

“Oh, come on, girl….we are celebrating here! And a little of hale can’t hurt!” one of the customers tells her, smiling and taking a good look at her from head to toes and back.

“But….” the girl trys to object while one of the weitress hands a glass to each one of us, obviousely full till the border.

“Take it easy, Karina….they are all euphoric here and disappoint them is not a good choise!” I say to her after having tasted that delicious nectar.
In answer, Karina looks at me and at the one that has spoken to her, then takes a long sip from her glass, swallowing almost half it in one single shot, surprising everyone around her. Cheers and whistles were encouraging her to drink more but the girl stop, taking a deep breath.

“One of the best I ever tryed….” she said, cleaning her lips with the back of her free hand.

An ovation rise loud in the tavern, followed by glasses which were all pointed up in the air in her honor. Karina appears a little embarrassed by having the eyes of all this people pointed on her but at last, she seems more handsome than how she was looking the first time I met her right in front of the main door of her family’s house. Looking at the girl, I can’t avoid to smirk and think at her and Colette, but immmediately I pushed those thoughts in a corner of my mind and ask to the weitress which is still near me if there is a place where we can sit and talk without being disturbed too much by the other customers.
The girl lead us to a corner of the tavern where no one is sitting right now, probably because the magic visor in not visible from there. We sit at one of the two tables, placing our glasses on it and looking around: still a little noisy but far less than the main area, I must say, and it’s exactly what I need to freely talk with Karina.

The guard spoke first, congratulating with me for another victory and for the access to the next stage of the tournament. A stage wich will lead me directly to the fight for the first place in the tournament if I win it, something I’m quite sure to do, judging by the level and race of the few remaining contestant even if I have to admit that one of them has surprised everyone for her skills. Anywy, this is not the main subject of the talk I want to do with the young girl in front of me. I take another sip of hale, then looking at her, I begin.

“I want to apologize with you for yesterday, Karina….”

“No need to apologize, Lady….really!” she replies, strangely calm.

“No, really….” I insist, placing my glass back to the table “probably, my reaction to what happened in the changing room was eccessive, but….”

“Your reaction!? What are you talking about!?” Karina says, giving me a puzzled look.

And if the girl looks puzzled, right now I’m astonished. How she can has forget about how I run away from the hot spring basically half naked when Colette has tried to push me again in her arms!? Indeed, Karina wasn’t so conscious, I must admit it, but it’s not possible that she forget everything and soon, many doubts are now running in my mind: is really possible that Karina has really forgot everything, or something else has happened to her after I left her alone with Colette!?
The most strange thing is the fact that the girl is still acting in the same way she was just before we joined Colette at the hot springs, friendly but mnot so much, leaving a certain distance between us to remark our different position. Anyway, looking carefully at her, I can’t see something strange in her eyes, so I seriously doubt she was hipnotize and the same I can say about the possibility that Karina is now under the influece of some spell. Not that I’m so expert with magic, but seems I can remember, when someone is under the influence of a spell, I can clearly sense a strange aura aroun him or her, something that apparently I can’t perceive around Karina. Then, what happened between her and Colette!? This question is now torturing me, so I try to investigate.

“Well, when I left Colette was looking really upset….” I say, without adding details.

“Indeed she was, but after all….” the girl takes a short break to sip some hale “if you was in late to met the Captain, she can’t forced you to stay with us!”

“The hell is she saying!?” I say to myself, as I listen at her. That’s totally different from what really happened and I know it very well, but seems like Karina have some distorced memories of that moment. Ok, she was looking strange while we were with Colette, but till the point to be not able to recognize the truth from a dream or some altered reality….I can’t believe this is happening to a girl as Karina, so brilliant and entrusted by Votan and Signis!
I always suspected that around Colette something is happening but honestly, at the moment I don’t know what to thing, maybe even strangest things are happening behind that face of a normal and a little shy girl she has. As I’m still pondering at this, I can’t avoid to stare at Karina who is probably just one of the victims of Colette charm….if it’s just her charm which cause the strong attraction which youg girls as mature women feel for her. I can’t tell what’s it, but for sure is something which influeced people easily and it can even used for some not so noble reasons but I can prove it. After all, Karina is the only one I know and who is affected by this kind alteration of memory, so I can’t openly move some accusations to Colette, but for sure I can tell the she is a woman who must be taken under control. And in fact, I’m planning to do it, but right now I can’t tell it to Colette and even to Votan.

     The City behind the Veil

he arena is crowed as usual and the same thing can be probably said about the main square and of all the taverns around the city where the magic visors are placed. The sun is high and shining in the sky and the summer heat makes difficult to fight in the arena for most of us, maybe the only exception is Serpentina, a naga, who was born in a city in the Desert of Obsidian, the Oasis of the Scale. There, during the day, the temperature can reach even 47 Celsius degree, just to fall at 30 below zero during the coldest nights, so this is one of the reasons that makes the Desert of Obsidian a very dangerous place for travelers and even for most of the well prepared adventurers of the whole Continent of Drakoonia. The other one, of course, is the presence of the naga’s tribe and of many giant creatures which live in the desert and on the mountains all around it, especially nearby the Volcano of the Crescent Moon, the biggest and most active volcano of the whole continent.

But despite the high temperature, the tournament must go on and with it the matches of us gladiators. So, now I’m here walking on the sand of the arena to reach the platform where I’m about to dispute my fourth match, but this time my challenger can be far way difficult to be defeated, in fact today my opponent is nothing less than Serpentina! And now we are both here, walking few feet away from each other as an incredible amount of people of any race and kingdom is acclaiming one of us, wishing for the victory of the strongest and better prepared of us. For them, it doesn’t matter that we are both girl, neither the fact that we are both not human: in their eyes, we are just two gladiators ready to face each other to establish which one of us has the right to continue to take part at the tournament and, of course, gain the title of Champion of the whole continent of Drakoonia!
The scarlet scales of her tail shine under the sunlight, making it appears like a flame which slowly advance on the ground, menacing and unstoppable, exactly as Serpentina has showed me to be during her first three matches. Not that I’m particularly scared by her presence, but for sure I will not underestimate her and the fast and sudden movement of that tail, powerful enough to strangle some animal even biggest than that naga. Another point in Serpentina’s favor is the length of that tail f course. Probably, from its tip till Serpentina’s bottom, the tail is length something around twenty-one feet or maybe even more, I can’t tell it for sure, but for sure it offer to her a good weapon to attack me even from the long distance. Plus, despite the slow movement Serpentina is doing now to reach the platform where the match will become, I got the proof of how fast that tail can move looking carefully one of her past match. Indeed, a naga’s tail is one of the most powerful weapons I ever had seen in an arena and today, I have to face one of them for the first time in my whole life as gladiator.

Finally, we reach the stage which will claim who will be the one skilled enough to continue the path of this tournament and reach the highest rank as gladiator, something Serpentina is really impatient to demonstrate for the third time. We are staring at each other now, right in the middle of the stage, while we are both introduced to the crowd, but no one of us is paying attention to the words and to the noise. All our attention is focused on the opponent in front of us and on any single muscle, ready to catch any single and small movement, in the desperate need to prevent any sudden and unexpected attack.
“FIGHT!” was the word which gave to us the signal of the begin of hostility. The first thought which runs into my mind was to pay attention to Serpentina’s tail and its movement, so I jump back trying to put enough distance between us to avoid a sudden and fast attack. At the same time, Serpentina didn't try to reduce that distance. Instead to advance, the naga step a little back too, starting to slowly move in circle around me, studying my movements and probably thinking at the next move she must make to have the chance for a clear and resolute hit.
We continue studying each other for an endless minute or so, figuring out in our minds any possible action our opponent would do and, of course, any possible counterattack to protect us and turn the situation to our advantage. The crowd was roaring on the stands but no one of us is paying attention to them, we are deeply focused on the one in front of, on the movements of the body, on any little reaction of our muscles….then it happen.

A smirk, a little signal for everyone else except us, and Serpentina use her tail to jump against me, fast and accurate, without any more hesitation. Instinctively, I jump on the left, quite sure that is her uncovered side, but I'm wrong…..damn wrong! All of a sudden, her tail is in front of me, fast and lethal as I always had imagined it, and it hit me hard on my chest, without giving me the chance to protect it with my arms.
The hit makes me fly away, ruining hard on the stage and forcing me to roll on it till the nearly corner. Not that it caused serious damages on me, but the incredible speed of the tail and the pressure of the hit had both forced me to focus on defense, forcing me to change my strategy. Plus, it didn’t looks like Serpentina is planning to give me the chance to have a single moment to breath. In fact, using her long and sinuous tail as support, the naga is already jumping toward me, spinning on herself as a swirl thrown at full speed on a target, me!
Of course, avoid a direct hit isn’t difficult, but I already learned how well Serpentina can control her tail and how fast the naga is able do it, so this time I prefer to wait till the last moment before jumping away with all my strength and land in a safest position. Immediately, I turn to face her, trying to don’t offer to my opponent a weak spot where she can attack me without having the chance to defend myself from that dangerous tail. Again, Serpentina is about to jump to me and again, read the movement of the naga’s body result really difficult to do, especially considering the fact that this is the first time I face a member of her race. The movement of her coils are still difficult to predict, plus the incredible flexibility of her tail is the real problem for me, it’s like if I’m fighting against two opponents at the same time and one of them is attacking me from shadows which totally hide his true intention.

Without taking my eyes away from her I take a deep breath, trying to focus all my attentions on that mighty creature. A sudden movement of the coils is the sign of the begin of the next attack: again, the naga is jumping toward me but this time Serpentina changes her approach. In fact, she didn’t curled on herself as she did in the preview attack, this time she’s using her tail to cover a vast area in front of me, probably waiting for my move or a counterattack. A counterattack I can’t take so lightly, considering the big advantage that tail can gives to her.
And it’s while I’m pondering about me that I notice the movements of the tip of her tail. It vibrate, now moving to the left and now to the right, according with the extension of the movements of her tail but on the opposite side. Of course, those change of direction are fast and same can be said for the one of the tail’s tip, so I need to take a good look at it to catch any single linked reaction, but at last I was able to understand the direction where the attack of her tail is about to come. Quite sure to avoid it, I jump on the left but again, Serpentina’s tail ruin against my body, smashing me on the ground of the stage which crept under the strong pressure of the impact.
Immediately, I stand on my knees and look at my opponent who is already preparing the next attack. I pay attention at the movement of the tip of her tail, just to find that it’s moving following the opposite scheme of the preview attack! I must admit it, Serpentina was able to fool me really well, but after all, I was sure of the fact she was going to be the strongest opponent on my way for the top of the tournament. Any strategy I have elaborated was now useless and I have no time for a new one because Serpentina is already aiming at me! Collecting all my strength, I dig my claws in the ground of the stage, preparing myself for the strong and violent impact which is about to clash on me for the third time and in fact, Serpentina’s tail is soon close to me aiming straight at my chest.
But this time I’m ready for it, more or less, and I protect myself with my arms, perfectly conscious of the fact that even if I can stop her tail, probably I will get some wounds due to its impressive strength. As I expect, the impact was violent and its pressure makes me slide backward despite I have my claws well anchored on the stage. The ground crept, scattering all around my feet, but at last I was finally able to catch the naga’s tail in my hands and I have to fatigue a lot to hold it, it’s far skippering than how I was imagine, plus my left arm, which absorbed most of the impact, is numb and I can’t move it freely as I want. Anyway, the fact I was able to resist to a direct it caught my opponent a little unprepared, so it takes a little to Serpentina to react and makes her next move. Her coils are moving fast, trying to free her trapped tail from my grip, which become even tighter just to avoid another strong impact which can cause more damage to my already injured arm.

I was quite sure to be in a predominant position, when Serpentina wrapped her sinuous body around my leg, strangling it to force me to release her tail. That is a counter attack I didn’t pondered and it caught me too much exposed, bringing us in a situation of balance which put both of us under pressure: we both won’t give to the other the possibility to gain control of the match and to do it, we can’t even blink or the other will makes her move while the other is still not prepared for it. Each one of us didn’t want to enlight her grip on the other body and at last we stay in this situation of uncertain balance for several minutes, with the spectators starting to roar their disappointment for the not so enthusiastic show we are now offering to them.

“Noisy people, aren’t they!?” Serpentina asks while trying to strangle tighten my leg.

“Indeed they are….but they are right! Time to make the match more interesting!”

Telling this, I dig my fingers deeper in her tail making the scales which cover it crept because of the incredible pressure I’m exercising on them. A grimace of pain runs on Serpentina’s face, forcing her to enlight enough the grip of her coils o my neck to grant me a first possibility to free me: faster as I can, I move my leg away from her body, scratching her armor with my sharpen claws and leaving on it a couple of clear signs. Immediately, the naga try to catch my leg back in her coils, but she moves too late and finally I can attack her for the first time till the begin of our match.

With all my strength, I rise her body high in the air, just to slam it on the ground trying to cause to her some serious damage, something Serpentina avoid moving properly her sinuous body. Of course, she wasn’t able to totally avoid the impact, but for sure it wasn’t so effective how I was hoping for and, anyway, I was expecting the fact she can be able to take some good countermeasure against my attacks. But I even know very well that I can’ t give her the time to breath and elaborate a new strategy, so I suddenly jump over her, forcing my opponent to stay with her back pressed on the ground.
Without hesitation, Serpentina hits my back several times with her powerful and agile tail, making difficult for me to maintain my grip on her. I must admit it, facing her is even far difficult than how I ever has pondered in the days which separate me from our match and now, I have to appeal to all my knowledge and skills to take her under control. But again, I made a miscalculation.
Serpentina whipped my head with her tail so strong that I feel disoriented and blood started to bleed, leaking straight in my right eyes, forcing me to close it. Taking advantage of this moment, the naga hit me on my left flank, making me land on the ground of the stage, without giving me even a small chance to defend myself by a spinning slash of her tail which leave me breathless for a moment. She is about to repeat that attack when I roll on my left avoiding it, just to immediately assuming a better defensive position.

We are staring at each other, both panting heavily, and I know I can’t dry the blood which is still leaking down my face or I’ll going to offer to Serpentina a perfect chance to attack me again, but this time with more accuracy. The real issue for me, is still find a way to get rid of her tail, when I notice some blood spilling out from between the scales where I was holding her tail few minutes ago. Probably, at last, when I dig my fingers in it, I caused more damages than I was expecting and honestly talking, I really have the impression she didn’t noticed it! Mentally, I focus my attention to that single area of her tail, having care to don’t let her understand where I’m looking and aiming with my next attack, just to caught the naga with her guard down.
Far easy to say than to do, I must admit! Her eyes are glued on my body and every single muscle I have, almost ready to catch any little movement which can give to my strongest opponent ever the smallest chance to prevent an unexpected attack. Anyway, I have something I can use at my advantage, I just must be fast enough to avoid her counter attack and grab that damn tail right where blood is still spilling out.

And I make my move, at last. My first intention is to give her the impression to aim at her belly, the only part of her upper body not covered by  the armor she’s wearing. I jump against her, ready to hit Serpentina with my strongest punch on her exposed belly, but the naga immediately understand my intention and she moves her tail right between us, ready to use it as a shield. Excellent, after all this is exactly what I wanted! In fact, doing this Serpentine is accidentally exposing the injured part area of her tail and all I have to do now, is to take advantage of the situation and attack her right there with all my strength. And it’s what I exactly do!
My fist land right on her wound, making the scales crept louder and causing to the naga a strong as a unexpected pain. More blood bleed from between the scarlet scales, painting them of a more bright and intense red which drip even on the ground of the arena. But I don’t have the time to contemplate how well my plan goes, I can’t lose the chance to take a second attack right now that she is still confused and visibly aching. I grab the tail right in the point where it’s bleeding, holding it so tight to the point that some scales break under my fingers, and rise Serpentina in the air, just to smash her body again on the ground.
But this time, I don’t give her the time to protect herself by the impact and with a jump I’m over her back, ready for a third and strongest direct hit. And I exactly obtain the effect I was expecting! In fact, with my third attack, I dig Serpentina’s body into the ground of the arena, throwing pieces of stones all around us. Serpentina’s scream is loud and a clear sign of the pain her body is experiencing after my three chained attack I was successfully able to complete.

A deep silence fill the whole arena, then the whole structure trembles under the mighty roar of the crowd, now totally excited by the incredible evolution of our match. Probably, the spectators are thinking that this is the end and Serpentina can’t continue our fight, but despite the fact she is still there laying on the ground in front of me and seems like she can’t move, I know my attack wasn’t so strong as I wanted. My arm is still numb because of the strong hit I blocked with it and I’m fatiguing a little in moving it as I wanted, so I’m not so much surprised to notice that the strength I put in my last attack is not comparable with the one I was expecting.
But this didn’t mean that there are no consequences for my opponent. I used all my strength in that last clash and she was caught between my fist and the solid stone of the stage where we are fighting and for sure the naga can’t come out of it without injuries. In fact, after few seconds, I can see her body moving even if with great fatigue and a little slowly. Serpentina rise her face to look at me and I can clearly see a grimace of pain in it, but at the same time there is still fire in her eyes.

“Damn….I really felt it!” she say, babbling a little as she try to stand “I must admit it….you are the strongest opponent I ever faced!”

I smirk at her words and massaging my forearm, I reply at her.

“I can say the same….after all, you had win this tournament twice!”

“And I’m going to win this year too!” she says, standing in front of me, at last, with her guard up.

“We will see that!”

Serpentina’s body is trembling and on her skin not covered by the armor she’s wearing I can clearly see several light scratches and some wounds from which blood is spilling out, even from the corner of her mouth. I look at her and I can’t deny I’m excited by the possibility to continue to face an opponent as Serpentina is, but at last I’m still worried by her conditions.

“Are you sure you want to continue!?” I ask her as I prepare myself for her next move.

“I’m a gladiator too….” she reply, pouting some blood “I have my proud to protect!”

“I know what you mean….well, then….let’s put an end on this match!”

[hentaiboy69]

About me, well, that is quite exciting but it doesn’t feel good as it was before Votan reveals his true feeling for me and now, I have the impression to be close to betraying him and his love for me. I take a deep breath, than I try to talk with both the girls, still busy in that passionate and endless kiss.

“Errr…maybe it is better if I leave you alone, girls! I think you need some private time!”

Colette, finally freeing an excited Karina from her lips, looks at me disappointed by my words. She looks at me, then at Karina, as if she is trying to ask to the girl why I’m reacting that way, but Karina is still too confused to immediately answers to Colette.

“Did I have done something wrong to you, my sweet Lady!?” Colette asks, still looking at me.

“Oh no, nothing….I swear it!” I reply, placing my hands right between us and making a step forward “It’s not your fault!”

“She has someone who loves her, Colette….maybe she feels uncomfortable for that!”

Here we are! Karina, without any hesitation, had just revealed it to Colette! I can’t imagine how Colette will react to her words, even today I have the impression she wants me to satisfy her sexual appetite and it doesn’t matter for her if Karina is here with us! Personally, I don’t want to be the one between Karina and her beloved Colette, but at the moment, looking at both the girls in front of me, I have the sensation that no one of them really care of it, as if doing this is a natural thing for both of them.
For sure, I can say that it’s quite natural for Colette, but now I know really well the true feeling Karina have for Colette, to don’t mention the fact I had swear her I’m no more interested in having some hot and steamy dates with the woman! Maybe the only thing I can do right now is to leave the place, so they can have some time alone and enjoy it with each other, so I try to move to the door which lead to the corridor, but Colette isn’t of the idea to let me go so easily. In fact, she suddenly rushes to me and before I can react, she is holding my left arm with a strong and tight grip I wasn’t expecting.

“You can’t leave us right now, Lady….” Colette says, with a malicious expression “not like this, anyway!”

Telling this, Colette pulls me against her body, giving me one of her deepest and more passionate kiss. The fact she can’t accept a “no” as answer from me to her advance it’s clear now, as it’s not clear for me how Karina will react to that view. And now, I feel guilty about this, for Karina and, of course, for Votan, the only one I truly love now and who is waiting me at his mansion to have dinner together and for something more. Set me free from Colette’s tight embrace isn’t so simple as I was thinking, even if my mind can’t accept this situation, my body has fallen again in her net: chills of pleasure are running again thorough my body, even if they are less intense than before, and I like it, but no to the point to get lost in this pleasant sensation.

Then, I see Karina who is now staring at us, with her eyes glued on our lips, but she didn’t appears upset by that unexpected view, on the contrary, the girl looks excited by it as if she was waiting for that moment. Taking a better look at her, I can see her robe totally open and lifted down to her elbows, while her hands are lustfully playing with her young and perfect breasts, totally exposed to my eyes and with the dark red nipples hard and erected, as if they are two small cocks  now so stimulated by mine and Colette deep kiss.
The expression on her face absolutely didn’t fit with how her body is reacting. It looks like if Karina is looking at us from a far distance, totally unconscious about what’s going on thorough her own body, now too much caught by intense chills of pleasure. Karina looks hypnotized by our kiss, but her expression didn’t change, except for a first small amount of saliva which has begun to leak from the left corner of her tempting mouth.
Then, my attention is caught back from her right hand, which is now sliding down along her flat and perfect belly, till it begin to disappear right inside her panties, already soaked by her juice. Soon, the delicious but pungent scent of her juice reaches my nostrils making more difficult, for me, to resist to Colette’s kiss and hands, which has now started to harm with the straps of my dress, with the clear intention of undress me while I’m unable to properly react. I’d like to yell to Colette to stop, but her voracious lips are pressed so tight against mine, plus now her tongue was finally able to open a breach and is voluptuously dancing with mine. I can feel my blood burning as it usually had done in the past while I was with Colette, but this time my mind is enough lucid to recognize what is happening to me, even if I can’t move my body as I really want.
At last, it didn’t takes too long to Colette to get rid of all the straps of my dress, even thanks to the fact today I’m not wearing the armor’s parts of my gladiators outfit. Of course, Colette takes care even of the laces of my panties, which immediately fell on the floor, finally giving to Colette full access at my hidden intimacy. Intimacy Colette didn’t hesitate to suddenly violate it pushing two fingers all inside with one fast and firm movement. Feeling her fingers rubbing inside my anus, I open wide my eyes but Colette’s lips, again, didn’t give me the chance to yell the pleasure they are giving me.
And finally, it happens. Karina, who was still staring at us while she has begun to play with her soaked pussy, at last can’t avoid moaning right in the same moment my anus was violated by Colette’s fingers. Her voice was unexpectedly sexy and I don’t know how it could happen, but Karina’s voice was able to wake me partially from that sort of hypnotization caused by the mysterious scent I can smell in the whole place and by that strange and unnatural attraction Colette can triggers in all the girls and women around her.

Finally enough free to move my body, I totally free my lips from that endless and pleasant kiss Colette was giving me.

“It’s enough, Colette….stop it now!” I yell at her, grabbing her left hand which was about to slide under my dress to play with my breasts.

“But lady….why I have….”

“STOP IT NOW, COLETTE!!” I yell louder, showing to her my sharpen teeth.

My reaction caught Colette unprepared and scares her too, till the point she immediately do as I ordered, finally freeing me from her arms and control, something I never was able to do before, when I was alone with her.

Before she can do anything, I step back, away from her. Colette is still looking at me, perplexed by my reaction, so strange and unexpected for her. A deep silence fall all over the changing room and the only thing which break it is my heavy panting in a desperate hope to gain back full control of me and to collect my whole strength. Colette tries to come closer again, but while she takes a step forward, I take one back.

“Why you are refusing me, Lady!? Why you don’t want to enjoy the pleasure of sex with us!?” she asks, looking at me then at Karina, who is standing right behind her half naked.

“I can’t do this, Colette….not to the man I love!” I reply, finally able to speak free and properly.

“Oh, my my….you are still thinking men love us!?” Colette says, smiling at my words “All they want is our body….they want take their pleasure from it!”

“And you are not doing it!?” I ask, looking at Karina and at her conditions.

“Of course I don’t, my sweet girl! All I do is give love to the souls that need it and, of course, intense sex and passion to the body!” telling this, Colette takes another step close “Wasn’t this all you was looking for when you arrived at Libidinis, my dear!?”

Colette takes another step forward.

“It was, yes….but now it’s different, I have found someone who truly loves me!”

“And he can give you the same sensations you had experienced with me!?”

“Of course! And he is giving me even more than that!”

Colette is now just three steps away from me and I can sense again that strange feeling pervading my body, but this time is not so strong and I still have full control of myself, something I can’t say about Karina, still standing in the changing room half naked and immobilized. That view irritates me: how it can be possible that a girl smart as Karina is can fall under the control of Colette so easily!? But most, I wonder how was possible for her to let me being something so similar to a puppet in her hands!
Colette is two step closer to me and the effect of the fragrance is becoming stronger so, before I can lose myself in it again, I run to the door which link the room with the corridor and open it, just to run away of that place, almost risking to bump into other customers on the way and without carrying of the fact that my dress is now not properly covering my body.

“Lady, wait….please!”

I can hear Colette’s voice coming from behind me, but I don’t listen at her words and I’m not turning back to look at that ambiguous and mysterious girl who is able to enter so easily in to others souls and minds, till the point she can have full control of them. But it’s over now, I don’t want to fall under her influence again….but for one who is free from her, there are others which can be trapped by Colette and her incredible appeal! But now I can’t care of them, all I can do is run, run away from this place.
The main door slams when I open it and I’m about to bump against an old man who is coming to the hot springs to gain some relieving for his injured and tired body. I avoid him just in time, but I can’t stop now to see if he is fine, all I want is to go far away from this golden cage realized by Colette and her girls for a purpose I’m ignoring. And probably, the whole city ignore it and with it, all the ladies which now are under Colette’s influence.

I run down the street which lead to the harbor with the image of Karina well impressed in my mind. While we were with Colette she was totally different from the girls I met a couple of days ago and who had assisted me during the investigation for the whole day and now, I truly can’t figured out which of the two is the real Karina, the proud and loyal member of the City’s Guard or the lascivious and submissive girl I had just seen at the hot springs. Of course, it came natural to me to think if I was looking the same when I was alone with Colette, something I never had stop to ponder about till today, finally realizing how strong can be the influence Colette can have on girls and women of any age and, probably, race.
I have no doubt now, something is happening inside the walls of the hot springs and Colette and the girls of the staff are all involved in it! But at the moment I can’t tell what’s it, I have no idea about their true intention and of the reason why they appear so interested in gain control of all the girls who came to enjoy their services or just to relax after a full and hard day. But now I know there is something behind that clean and nice facade of that place, something Votan must be informed immediately to begin some investigation about it!

I’m so lost in those considerations to don’t pay too much attention to me and to what’s happening around me. While I’m running, my dress is floating free, almost revealing my whole naked body to the eyes of citizen and travelers who are walking along the streets, causing several different reaction in them: of course, many are disgusted by the outrageous, but not wanted, show I’m offering, but others seems to enjoy it and it’s thanks to some whistles direct to me that I realized in which conditions I’m running along the city’s streets!
To avoid to fell again under the effect of Colette’s charm, I didn’t had took some time to adjust the straps of my dress, plus I totally forgot to wear my panties, which are probably still laying on the floor of the private changing room of the hot springs! I never had felt embarrassed as I am now and at the same time, I don’t want to cause any trouble to Votan and his family, so I collect all my strength and jump away in the direction of the shipyard, usually empty at the time of the day. Here, finally alone, I can finally breath and take a sit to rest and bring together all the event of the day, wondering about what can happen tomorrow afternoon, when I have to meet Karina again after my match to continue our investigations.

When I stand up to move back to the Almaan’s Mansion, on the far west the sky is red because of dusk and the first star is now shining in the sky. I had took all the time I was in need to ponder about Colette and that strange atmosphere all over her and around the hot spring, but at last, I don’t think I can talk to Votan about my suspects about her so lightly….there are too much people involved in it and probably, thanks to the strong influence the girl have on them, they are going to deny everything and even Karina, always loyal to her duty, will do the same! I need to collect some proofs about all those strange activities and I know I have to do it by myself or, at last, I have to ask to someone else to help me in this strange task I’m getting involved….but who can help me in such situation!?
It’s incredible in how many troubles I am now, from the day I left the City of Rhoonas to come to Libidinis in hope to create a new life for me and Horgus! Horgus is no more at my side now, passed out during the sail on Bering’s See and now I have a new love in my life, his elder brother Votan….plus, now I know there is a mysterious “Noble Lion” who didn’t want I took part at the tournament and last but not least, Colette and all her girls of the hot spring! Indeed, my life is changed in less than two weeks….but in a totally different way from the one I was dreaming the night before our travel, while I was in the arms of the first man who ever has loved me in my whole life….

[hentaiboy69]

And without waiting for an answer, Colette puts the two plates right in front of us, waiting and standing nearby to be sure we do as she almost ordered to us. Taking a deep breath, Karina sit back at the table and even if she doesn’t looks so happy to do that, the girl takes a first byte of that delicious cake I had eat so many times when I was sleeping here at the “Silver Horn” and I found simply delicious. And soon, I do the same and I must admit it, I really missed the food prepared by Colette, especially this cake!
While we are eating that delicious and unexpected last dish, Colette stares at us for all the time, visibly happy of the fact we are enjoying it. And in fact, we finished the cake in two minutes or so, another proof of the talent Colette has in the kitchen, something I and Karina know very well, both being her guests for so many times and probably, not only here at the tavern! Anyway, I take the decision to quit my silly game against Karina, perfectly knowing she is going to be my partner for several days from now on and my only chance to cooperate with the City’s Guards, something I can’t do if the girl takes the decision to refuse to help me anymore.
So, when we are finally outside the tavern and after Colette had invited both of us at the hot springs as her guests, I apologize with Karina about the way I act during lunch.

“I’m sorry, Karina….I didn’t act very well with you in the tavern! It wasn’t my intention to upset you!”

The girl looks at me, without saying a word, so I can’t say for sure if she is going to forgive me or not and, most important, if she wants to assist me again in the search for that mysterious assassin. The silence between us is break just by all the noises which are coming from the street, from the laughs of children which are playing nearby and from the music which can be heard at any corner of Libidinis. We stare at each other for a little, in silence and walking down the street, then, when we finally arrive at a less crowed spot, Karina finally speaks to me.

“You are right, Milady….you didn’t act well at the Silver Horn!” then, after had taken a deep breath, she continues “But I wasn’t upset for what you said….I was upset because you were right!”

Telling this, her face flushed visibly and Karina turns it away from mine, just to avoid to crosses her eyes with mine, probably thinking I’m about to judge her for that. But she can’t knows or imagine that I was in her same situation just till few days ago….plus, when it happened, I had recently lost Horgus, the man I was in love with! Indeed, I’m not really in the condition to judge or blame her and her action, I did the same and I gave the chance to Colette to gain the full control f me and of the situation, something I can hardly accept, now. I’m about to tell her something, but Karina speaks before I can do it.

“Feel free to blame me for my actions….I know that’s not how a City’s Guards have to act! But….Colette has something special, something you can’t resist!”

“I know that, Karina….I know that very well!”

At my words, the girl turns again into my direction, staring at me with her emerald eyes wide open. Karina wasn’t expecting those words from me and honestly, I’m surprised too because this is the first time I reveal what happened between me and Colette to someone else when even Votan have no clue of that. But looking at the expression Karina had on her face, I had immediately understood how disappointed she was for that inappropriate relationship the two girl have and confess it to a stranger, wasn’t easy for her.
It wasn’t easy for me too, but for different reasons, of course. I wasn’t guilty for what we had done, but for how soon I lost myself in those lustfully meeting after Horgus departure, something I can’t explain to myself….not rationally, anyway! But now I can say that part of my life in Libidinis is over, or, anyway, I presume it! Then, Karina’s voice catches my attention back.

“You….you and Colette….I mean….you two were intimate too!?” Karina asks, still incredulous.

“We were….” I nod at her, and then continue “And it lasted for several days immediately after my arrival here in Libidinis, and I’m sure you can understand what it means!”

Karina didn’t answer me but by the way she is looking at me, it’s clear that she had clearly understood what I was meaning with my last words. And now I am the one who is fatiguing to hold the eyesight of the other, feeling under a deep and accurate examination from a young girl as she is, even if with more experience than I was imagining till an hour ago. She stares at me for long time, probably trying to understand what had attracted such beautiful girl as Colette is, but without finding any reasonable reason for that.
Then, at last, she asked me something I wasn’t expecting….well, not so directly and from her, anyway!

“Are you two engaged or involved in something else, now!?”

The question you never wanted to hear from an almost perfect stranger as Karina is for me! But I think she is more than legitimate in asking it, especially after the moment she revealed the truth about her and Colette to me. And now, for me it’s clear how much involved Karina is by this strange relationship with Colette or she will never had asks something similar to me, especially after denying it so many time while we were having lunch at the “Silver Horn”!
I’ll try to ponder the right words to use to answer at that question, but I suppose the best way to do it is to be honest and directed as Karina was with me.

“I don’t think we can talk of be “engaged” with her….I think there was just nothing more than pure physical attraction between us….” I say, taking a little break “just pure sex, nothing more, nothing less!”

At my last words, Karina appears damn embarrassed and she looks around us just to be sure no one have heard our conversation. Then, after have taking a deep and relieving breath, she turns back at me.

“Really!? There was just….sex!?” she asks me, whispering the last word.

That attitude she has to be so reserved about her private and intimate life looks funny and absolutely in contrast with the city was we are right now. Libidinis is well known for being a more tolerate city about sexual orientation and many not hetero couples don’t hide this aspect of their life when in public, but probably this is something not so much appropriate for a member of the City’s Guards as Karina is. Probably, if some of the highest officers will find out the true about her sexual orientation, they will force the girl to leave the Guards, dishonoring her whole family forever.

“There was nothing, I can swear it to you!” I reply, tranquillizing her a little “And anyway, I’m no more interested in spending time between her arms!”

Telling this, I wink at Karina who is now looking more relieved. I cannot tell if she was into girl even before she met Colette for the first time, but for sure, now she didn’t demonstrate any kind of interest in guys of her same age or in other men. How can I tell this!? Well, it’s simple and it was clear when I and Votan came at her place the day before! Karina appeared really pissed off by the fact her mother, Lady Minerva, was trying to came inside the house to wait for her, but probably that reaction wasn’t just because of their roles in the Guards, but even because the girl is not really interested in men and her mother didn’t know it or, at least, didn’t accept it from her only daughter.
And this is why Karina is hiding this aspect of her life even from the eyes of her mother and father, probably both not able to understand that choice which can ruin the reputation of their family, something which had happened many times in small villages or in other kingdoms. Of course, even in a city as Libidinis this can happen, but I’m quite sure of the fact that the reactions of the peoples around her are going to be far different from the one Karina is expecting. And, for sure, I am not one of the one who are going to judge her for her sexual orientation and I think Votan will do the same, if he discover that in some way!

“Why!?” Karina suddenly asks to me, bringing me back to our reality.

“It’s simple….I have someone I truly love, now!” I reply, smiling at her “is it not the same for you, Karina!? You love Colette, don’t you!?”

Karina nods at me, blushing again. She is a member of the City’s Guards, that’s right, but after all, she’s just a nineteen years old girl and that kind of subjects, are still embarrassing her, probably even more than how she admit to others and to herself. After a little, when the embarrassment is finally gone and while we are walking back to the main barrack to talk with the other Guards, Karina suddenly asked it to me.

“Who is this lucky one!?”

That question was unexpected and so sudden that it caught me unprepared and at last, I don’t know if it’s right to reveal to her about my relationship with Votan, the Captain of the Guards. Not that there is something wrong with it, but except the members of the Almaan’s family and, maybe, Mardukas, no one else is informed about our relationship, even if Votan had confessed me about his plan to announce our engagement to the whole city during the closing ceremony of the Summer Festival. So, for the moment, I decide to don’t reveal his name to Karina, telling to her a small, innocent lie.

“It’s someone I met recently….he is nice and sweet, but he is strong too, when it’s needed!”

“I see! So, we can say he is a lucky guy!” she says, happy to see I had put my trust in to her, confessing something about me “I hope you can be happy with him, Lady!”

“I hope it too, Karina!” I reply, just before noticing we had reached the barrack again.

“Time to go back on business, Lady! And I hope we are more lucky, this afternoon!”

“I hope it too, Karina….really!”

Then, we enter for the second time in the Guards’ barrack, looking for the men which had conducted the investigations during the last days. The information we collect from them didn’t add any significant news to what we know or we had discovered analyzing the objects in the hands of the Guards, so we are starting to lose a little of hope for what we are doing. There are six more Guards to talk with, but the time had run fast and it’s about the time, for Karina, to finish her normal duty, so we take the decision to talk with them the next afternoon, considering the fact that I have to go to the arena in the morning for my second official match.
Right before we leave the place, we cross our path with Votan, who was coming back to the barrack to organize the last things needed for the patrolling at the arena. Immediately, Karina stands and salute him, as any other member of the guards of her same rank usually do, but Votan, conscious of the fact we had a long day, order her to relax and asks to both how our first day together was.

“Long and a little heavy, but it goes well….didn’t it, Karina!?” I reply looking at her and winking having cared to do not be noticed by Votan.

“It goes very well, Captain….indeed, maybe it was a little heavy, but nothing that a good, relaxing bath cannot solve!”

“Excellent! I must admit it….I wasn’t totally sure about the compatibility between you two!” Votan says, taking a deep and relieving breathe “I wish you two can cooperate again, during the next days!”

“Of course, Captain! After all, I and Milady, had discovered to have something in common!”

Votan takes a look at both of us, perplexed by Karina’s words and trying to figured out what that thing can be, but he give up soon, preferring to ask it directly to us.

“I’m sorry, Milord, that’s a secret between two ladies!” I reply him, just before we leave him there alone to go to the hot springs, where Colette is probably waiting us, excited by the idea to be all together and alone for the first time.

In fact, Colette was there, waiting for us outside the secondary entrance of the hot springs, the one used just by the employers of the structure. When she sees us, she immediately runs to us with a great and happy smile over her face, just to embrace me and Karina far away from strangers’ eyesight, something she is probably waiting to do seem from lunch. Colette presses tight her voluptuous body against both of us, especially on Karina, and immediately that mysterious and relaxing fragrance she usually use fill my nostrils, but this time it appears less effective than all the other times.
But I can’t say the same thing about Karina! The girl appears far more influenced than me by that fragrance, till the point she didn’t tries to stop Colette when she kisses passionately the girl right outside the entrance. And even when Colette welcomed her, Karina didn’t appear upset by the words she used.

“I was waiting for this all the time, in the last two days, my little kitty!”

Karina’s face turns red all of a sudden, probably because she remembered the moment when I told her I was able to hear Colette’s whispered words at the tavern, but this time, the girl didn’t tries to hide her true feeling for Colette. In fact, Karina surprises me answering to our voluptuous friend with a deepest and even more passionate kiss which is about to cut Colette’s breathe and which is interrupted by some soft but excited laughs. All the three of us turn in to the direction where the laughs are coming and there, right on the door, two of the girls who works in the place are staring at us, pretty excited by the show Colette and Karina are offering them.

“I told you to don’t disturb me, girls!” Colette says, visibly pissed off by them.

“We are sorry, Miss” one of the girls replies, suddenly more serious “but you even told us to inform you when the private bath was going to be free!”

Miss….again, I wonder why the girls are appealing to Colette as a not married woman, but probably that depend by the fact she is one of the co-owner of this place, so that is more like a form of respect to her and not so much linked with her status of wife….or this is what I can presume right now! Anyway, I’m also surprised about the existence of a private area, in the whole five days I went here to meet Colette, I never heard about it or never was invited in it. Probably, that area is reserved for special guests as nobles or, why not!, princesses or princes who want to relax without being disturbed by the other customers of the place!
Anyway, it looks like today I and Karina are going to visit the private area for the first time and I can clearly imagine the reason of that choice: Colette wants to give to us the best treatment and, of course, not the only one which is normally provided in any other normal bath house! But I must admit it, having a relaxing bath without the presence of many other women all around me or of child who run here and there, is not so bad, especially after a long day like the one I and Karina had. Plus, if Colette is expecting something more from me too, I can always gently refuse her advance….I’m quite sure I can do it today, especially because I know my new family and my lover, Votan, are waiting me at the Mansion!

I and Karina follow Colette inside the structure and she leads us to a different area of the hot springs with a sign on its entrance which says “Reserved Area”. Once we are inside, it’s clear to both of us how highest is the level of this area compared to the one I usually had used and even Karina looks surprised by the fine marbles on the floor and on the walls and by the expensive furniture of this not so small sort of waiting room, all made of the finest woods and fabrics. On each side of the room, there is a door which lead to two different changing room, one for women, on the left, and one for men, on the right, but both are fine decorated and the words over them a realized with the most finest and pure gold I ever have seen.
While we are passing through the door on the left, I and Karina look at each other, both probably pondering about the fact we are just entering in a place we can’t be able to use every day. Marble covers even the floor and walls of the changing room, making it a really bright room and giving us the possibility to see ourselves reflected in it. We are both confused and hesitant while we walk in and Colette had noticed it, probably.

“Don’t worry, girls….you are both my guests tonight, so you don’t have to pay the normal fee to use it! Oh, I forget….it’s all for us, this evening!”

Colette is smiling with a happy expression on her face and again, I and Karina look at each other, taking a deep and relieving breath. Then, Karina talks to Colette.

“Colette, this wasn’t necessary….the usual bath is enough for us!”

“Karina is right….” I say, looking around at any little decoration I can see “Reserving the whole place for us must be a loss of several moneys for your activity!”

Colette stares at us with a nice but a little malicious smile then, before I and Karina can begin to remove our clothes, Colette hugs tight both of us at the same time, making Karina blush a little. I can’t deny I found that hug a little pleasant, but honestly it’s not giving me the same sensation I had experienced in the past days when I and Colette were alone, probably because in my mind I’m almost dreaming about the passionate night I’m going to have with Votan once I go back to the Mansion.
At the same time, now that Colette is so close to me, the effect of her delicious fragrance turns stronger, but probably it’s not coming just from her body. I can smell it all around us, in the changing room, but I can’t see any flower or plant in it, so it’s not coming from them and, at last, it is something else which emit it….but what!? I cannot tell it, plus my senses are no a little overwhelmed by this fragrance and I can’t properly concentrate  to find its origin, something I never worried about before today. And for sure, I can say Karina really isn’t interested in it, judging by the intense and deep kiss the two girls are exchanging right now and in front of me!

I must say it, I found that view really exciting and I’m wondering if Karina will think the same with exchanged roles between me and her! Anyway, judging by our talk right outside the tavern, I can say she is really in love with Colette and probably, she is not going to be that happy if Colette was kissing me first instead of her!
I’m about to try to set me free from Colette’s embrace when I clearly sense her hand caressing my bum cheeks from over my dress with slow and skilled movements, something she always do while she was kissing me in the past. I wonder if Karina has noticed it and how she is going to react to it, but before I can say something to Colette, I notice she is doing the same to Karina, who is appreciating it so much, judging by the reaction of her young body! The whole situation is a little embarrassing but neither Colette or Karina appear having trouble with it and honestly, I can’t tell if it’s because Karina is too caught by Colette’s attentions or because they have done something similar before.

To be honest, I don’t know too much about this girl, Karina, and Signis question makes me doubt about her skill a little, supposing he is talking about her young age and inexperience in the Guard’s duty. But at the same time, Votan appears very faithful about her and, of course, not worried about my abilities, so I can suppose he have planned everything perfectly conscious of the fact we can form a good and collaborative pair. And this make me start to think about the possibility that Karina isn’t a girl to underestimate too much as I was doing till the moment we entered in Signis’s place. Probably, she have skills I can’t valuate right now, but this is just a simple conjecture of mine. Then, Karina takes word.

“Milord, as a member of the City’s Guards I always do my best to protect the city and its citizens!”

“I know, my dear girl….you are young but very capable, but the point, here, is another….” Signis replies, looking at me.

And now, at last, I begin to understand. Probably, his doubts weren’t about Karina but about me and the not so nice show I had offered to the whole arena during my match. I can’t deny the fact I didn’t had done a great impression to the whole city losing my self control and almost killing Brutus, but that wasn’t a normal situation, after all! Of course, I can understand about the deep perplexities Signis have and probably, at his place, I will think the same but at the same time, to solve this delicate situation, the Guards need all the help they can have and Even Signis know this very well.

“Milord, I can swear you I’m fine now and what happened in the arena is not going to happen anymore!” I say, looking straight at him.

At my words, Signis turn to Votan, as if he was looking for a confirmation of them by him. Votan nods at him and Signis, a little relieved by that simple gesture, takes a deep breath before talking again.

“Very well, then! I approve your request and from tomorrow, you can collaborate with our Guards, Lady!” then, he turns to Karina and continues “Lady Karina, I count on you for giving to Lady all the support she need!”

The girl nods at him, but from her expression, I can tell she is still a little doubtful about this strange collaboration but despite this, she obey to the order of Votan and Signis without any objection and after Signis reassured us of the fact he is going to prepare an official document about this collaboration, the three of us leave the Prefect’s house. On the way for the Almaan’s Mansion, while Votan is giving us the last directives for our collaboration, I can sense the eyes of Karina glued on me, as if she’s trying to have a clearest idea about me and my abilities and, probably, of my weakness.
I must admit it, probably I had underestimate her at the begin but now I clearly understand why Votan had choose her and not someone else: even Signis have great consideration of this young girl and her presence can be a good reference for me if we need to talk to citizens which can be scared by my unusual appearance. Indeed, Karina is definitely the best choice Votan can make and I’ll going to discover it soon.

In fact the next morning, at nine, Karina is right in front of the Almaan’s Mansion door, waiting patiently for me. As usual, her hair are shining in the sun light but this time she wears the City’s Guards equipment, even if it’s different from the one the other Guards use, probably it’s personalized. As Votan told me once we were back at the Mansion, Karina’s family had transferred here in Libidinis around fifty-five years ago, when her grandfather took the decision to leave his homeland in the north of the Continent of Drakoonia, bored to have winter season nine months for year. Here, her grandfather was at the service of a powerful and reach feudatory of an allied kingdom of Libidinis as his personal guard so, when he moved here in Libidinis, he took the decision to became a member of the City’s Guard, pointing at became one of the most appreciated member of them.
And now Karina, the only daughter of the actual householder, is following the steps of her grandfather, even sharing his same dream and determination in realizing it, but being a girl didn’t made it easy to be accepted as a rookie of the Guards, in fact till the day she applied to became a member of them, no other girls had ever request to be admitted at the hard and long trainees needed to become an effective member of that corp. But Votan, at that time, had seen something in her that was missing in most of his men: a strong and unbreakable determination, something really rare to find in other men nowadays. So, thanks to the recommendations of Votan, at last Karina was accepted and she became the first girl of the whole corps of the City’s Guards and the girl, to don’t disappoint the trust Votan had demonstrate in her abilities, had worked really hard till she was declared, at last, an official member of the Guards.

And here it come the reason why Lady Minerva, Karina’s mother, had misunderstood the purpose of Votan. She had exchanged the recommendations of Votan for a particular interest from him for her daughter, at that time just fifteen, and from that moment she didn’t lose any chance to made the two of them getting closer, hoping for a more brilliant future for Karina and for the whole family. It’s not a secret that Lady Minerva is trying to find an excellent man for her daughter and which one is better than the Captain of the Guards of Libidinis!? The marriage of Karina and Votan she dreams to realize, can open many doors to their family, even with the nobility of the city or of its allied, something she can’t obtain with the actual reputation of her family.
Anyway, Karina didn’t appears too much interested in the tight net planned by her mom. What the girl is aiming at, is to realize the dream of her grandfather and make the name of her family respectable as it was in their old homeland. Of course, Karina can’t deny the fact that Sir Votan have a certain appeal, but at the moment she’s not interested in building a solid relationship which can lead to a marriage, all herself is focused on her dream and on the way to follow to finally realize it.
And, of course, the collaboration between me and her is a perfect chance to make a big step forward to realize that dream, even if she’s not so sure about my reliability. During the facts that happened in the arena, Karina was there and she was one of the first guards who followed Sir Votan on the ground when I was about to kill Brutus. She was ready to do anything that can be necessary to stop me, even sacrificing her if needed and this is why she was really surprised by Sir Votan’s request. How he can asks to a dangerous girl as me to join the forces with the City’s Guards so lightly!? The only answer to this question she was able to find, was about the fact that Sir Votan was under some sort of spell I had casted on him to took him under my control to being able to conquer the city from the inside thanks to the support of Votan himself.

“Good morning, Milady! I’m here to support you in the investigation of Brutu’s assassination!”

“Good morning to you, Karina! And please….don’t be so formal, I’m not one of your superiors!” I tell her, trying to create a most pleasant atmosphere between us “And call me just Lady, as everyone do!”

Despite my words, the girl didn’t appear interested in changing her approach to me. She’s looking straight at me, maintaining a certain distance and patiently waiting for something, as if she’s waiting for some orders or something similar. Looking at her not so friendly attitude, I take a deep breath, then I speak to her.

“I think we have to start our investigation examining the reports of the last days….did you think is it possible!?”

“Of course, Milady! But we must go the main barrack to read them!” she replies, still staring at me.

“Very well! Then, let’s move out!”

During the short way which separates the Almaan’s Mansion from the main barrack of the City’s Guards, Karina didn’t spill a word, a clear sign of how difficult this collaboration between us is going to be. Judging by the first impression she gave to me and on the way she’s acting right now, I can presume she’s even more suspicious about me than how Mardukas was till the first moment I arrived in Libidinis. And once we are inside the barrack, Karina appears even more formal than when we were walking along the street, especially when she has to talk with other members of the Guards or just when we cross some of them in the corridors.
Anyway, after two hours passed reading the impressive amount of reports written in the last four days, we weren’t able to collect any interesting information which can give us a starting point, with the exception of the fact that the Guards had found a rope with a hook outside the arena which was probably used by the assassin to escape from there. So, at last, we both agree to ask if we can examine it, in hope to find some traces on it which can help us in moving a first step forward in our difficult and long research.
But again, even this object didn’t offer any concrete clue to us, except a feeble scent I can sense from it. But that scent isn’t enough strong to let me recognize it, so we are again at the starting point, exactly as we were just before coming to the barrack. Not being able to discover any other trace which can give us a direction to follow, even if it can be small, is frustrating and it’s starting to discourage us a little. Of course, we are far away to be ready to give up in our task and we take the decision to talk with the guards who had followed the investigations till now, but not before a break to have lunch. And which place is better than a tavern to enjoy a nice meal!? And we both know the right place where we can go to have a taste of the best food of the whole city!

Once we step inside the “Silver Horn”, I immediately notice Colette looking at me from the opposite side of the room. As usual, the tavern is full of men who didn’t want to lose any chance to enter in Colette’s graces, but when they all notice us, the place suddenly become quiet: maybe it was me or because of Karina’s presence, but the three men which were talking to Colette at one of the tables, immediately change the subject of their conversation, probably to avoid any possible trouble with a member of the City’s Guards.
Colette, which was now looking particularly happy to have both of us here in the tavern, leads us to a more isolated table, were we can eat without being disturbed by the other customers. Then, she disappears in the kitchen, leaving us alone, but not before she brings to us a jar of fresh water and a smallest one with some red wine.

“Is it my impression, or Colette is happy to have you here!?” I suddenly ask to Karina, which blush a little at my words.

“It’s because I’m a regular customer here, at lunch, so we became friends.” she replies, trying to hide her embarrassment “Plus, her food is delicious, so I like to eat here when I can!”

Poor girl….it doesn’t matter how hard she is trying to hide it, I can see very well her cheeks barely flushing, a clear sign of the fact that there is something else behind that reason which makes her coming here almost every day, and I can imagine it very well, being caught myself by Colette’s net for several days. But now that I’m again in front of her, I’m not sensing that strange feeling which had made me fell at Colette’s feet, unable to opposed any resistance to her charm.
And probably, Karina is another of her victims, even if I’m not totally sure of this. For sure, her reaction is the proof that something between her and Colette was happened or, anyway, is still happening, but I can’t tell how far the two girls has gone till now. After all, Karina is a young and very cute girl, the perfect target for Colette’s particular, and pleasant, attentions but I still wonder if Karina is the type of girl who will accept them or not, at the moment she didn’t open herself to me that much to let me know her personality so well.

While I’m pondering about Karina and her possible relationship with Colette, this one come back to our table with two big portions of roast chicken and potatoes. The scent of that chicken is simply fabulous and it’s really inviting us to eat it, something we do with pleasure while Colette stares at both of us with a very satisfied smile on her face. Then, just before she goes back to serve the other customers, Colette whispers something to Karina’s ear. Something I heard very well and makes me devilish smirk.

“So, Karina….from how long Colette and you are in a so intimate relationship!?” I suddenly ask to her.

“What….what are you saying, Milady!?” she babbles, trying to deny it “Colette and me are just good friends, nothing more!”

“Of course, I have no doubt of it….my sweet Kitty!”

At my words, Karina’s face turns red for the great embarrassment which has grown in her. I can read in her eyes the question she’s doing to her right now: how the hell I was able to understand what Colette had just whispered to her!? Karina is looking at me puzzled and I can clearly hear her heartbeat rising loud and faster while she is probably trying to reorganize her ideas to answer me. Then, after a long moment of silence, she talks to  me.

“How….how did you know of that!?”

“I have fine ears, Karina….” I answer her, pointing at my ears with my empty fork “and this gave me the chance to hear many whispered secrets or, of course, some lovely words as the one Colette had just told you!”

Karina appears really uncomfortable now. Of course, I cannot tell how involved they are with each other, but I’m quite sure of the fact that something is happening between them, something very similar, probably, to what was happened between me and Colette. I can understand how she is feeling, admitting to be involved in a relationship isn’t so easy and even here, in an open minded city as Libidinis is, must be difficult to admit to be in love with another person of your same gender. So, before she can be more embarrassed by the situation, I speak again.

“Don’t worry, Karina, I’m not here to judge you or to reveal your secret….after all, this is not my business!”

“You are right, Milady….this is not your business!” she replies, with fire in her eyes “And anyway, you had misunderstood the meaning of her words!”

“Really!? I don’t think so….” I say, smiling maliciously and looking straight in to her eyes “She clearly told you to come to visit her whenever you want, Kitty!”

“Stop calling me Kitty! I hate it and more, I really hate cats!” she thundered hitting the table with her fist, catching the attention of many other customers of the tavern which all turn to watch at our table.

Her reaction really surprises me, leaving me astonished and perplexed. Karina is denying their relationship too firmly to be just a lie, but the words I heard from Colette are unmistakable and I heard them directed to me too many time to be doubtful of their meaning. But at the same time, Karina didn’t seems the type of girl who will deny something so important so easily so, after all, there must be some truth behind her words too. And I can’t deny I had pushed the situation a little too far with her, so I can’t really blame the girl if she’s a little pissed off at the moment, especially with me. But I have to admit it, this girl has something different from all the other girls I ever met and I’m not talking about that strange color of the hair or about the eyes….I can sense a strong determination in her, something unusual in other girls except, of course!, in Colette.
And probably, even Colette had noticed it and that can be the reason why she is so interested in a young and innocent girl as Karina looks like. I can easily imagine what Colette is planning to do with my new….partner, let’s say! I don’t think Colette is going to have too much trouble in taking the full control of Karina, even if she appears very well determinate despite her young age, after all Colette can uses some really persuasive argumentations….and I had experimented them too many times to do not be sure of how effective they are! True is my spirit was fragile at that moment, but I cannot deny the fact that Colette was damn able to tickles all my senses, pushing myself far over my limits, till I fell asleep and exhausted every time but not before she made me reached lot of orgasms.

And here we are….the memories of those incredible and pleasant moments, immediately make deep shivers run long my spine, but this time they are not so intense as the one I had experienced when Colette was with me, exploring my deepest and most secret intimacy with her skilled hand. I’m quite sure it depends by the fact I had found in Votan a new and amazing sweet lover, who is ablest to push away the pain on my heart and soul just with his presence, to don’t mention how he makes me feel when we are alone and away from stranger eyesight.
At the same time, I can’t stop thinking about a possible story Colette and Karina. I know very well how difficult can be to resist to Colette’s charm and even if that young girl seems to have a strong will, I’m really doubtful about the fact she can easily takes under control a woman as Colette, so persuasive and attractive. Of course, I don’t have proof of the fact that Karina is another of Colette’s “victims”, let’s say, but I can clearly say that Colette is interested her, in fact our guest come to our table, time by time, pretending to come there just to see if we need something else or if the food encounter our taste. Of course, Colette pays always attention to don’t reveal her particular attentions for us to others customers, because not everyone in the city accepts a public relationship between members of the same sex. To don’t mention the fact that the tavern can lose too many male customers, if they found out to don’t have any chance to seduce Colette!

We are about to leave the “Silver Horn”, when Colette approaches us with two pieces of her most appreciated cake, something she wants to offer us as she usually do with the most welcomed customers.

“Don’t dare to leave without tasting my special cake, girls!” Colette says, a little disappointed.

“You know I love your cake, Colette….” Karina replies, smiling at her “but we have lot of work to do!”

“That’s why you need the energy my cake can gives to you!”

“But….” the girl tries to reply, suddenly interrupted by Colette.

“I don’t accept a no, Karina! Now eat it, please!”
