The dragon’s harem

As they reached the room’s door. Kin opened it with a smile. Gin was inside shifting the bed into the middle of the room.

“I’m still cleaning. Get back later,” Gin said, staring at them and lifting her hand. A silver haze covered her palm, and the door slammed shut.

Kin sighed, turning toward Aella, “Let’s leave her to her work,” She looked to the end of the hallway. “How about you take Sir Arad to the royal bath?”

Aella’s face lighted up, and she stared at Kin, smiling. “Really? Is it available?”

“It should be,” Kin scratched her chin, “One of the queens asked to use it, but that idiot can be guided away like a cat,”

Aella blinked twice, “Did you just insult the queen?”

“It’s not an insult when you tell the truth,” Kin smiled, “Take Arad and the others to the bath. It’s on the lower floor. You can’t miss it.”

Aella rushed to their old room to tell Arad, and the other and Kin headed in the opposite direction.

After walking for a bit, she went up the stairs, and the hallway changed from wooden walls to marble and gold art pieces. Two maids stood guard and bowed as soon as they saw Kin, “Welcome back headmaid Kin,”

Kin walked behind them and said with a smile, “Follow me,” They headed deeper until they reached a large golden door. With a single touch from her hand, it opened up into a vast room.

Kin walked inside and fell on the bed. Taking a deep breath, she turned to look at the other maids, “Cancel my bath. I will rest here for a while.”

One of the maids stared at her, “Why cancel the bath? Is there a problem we can help with?”

Kin shook her head, “No, I just promised the guests that they could use the bath.” She swung her hand, and long golden claws extended. “I know. How about you do my nails now? I can have a bath afterward later.”

The maid bowed, “A brilliant idea,” She went to bring her tools.

CLICK! The door suddenly opened, and an old man walked in without permission. The maids bowed, “Your Majesty,”

The king looked at Kin, “What do you think about the guests?”

Kin stared back at him, “Baltos…Why ask a humble maid?”

Baltos smiled, “A humble maid isn’t a good description for one of the two people who have been with me since I was born, First Queen Kin.”

Kin giggled, “Gin has a more objective opinion. I quite like them.”

Baltos smiled, “If someone as hardheaded as you like them, I guess that Arad is quite a good person.”

Kin shook her head, “I’m a hardhead?” She laughed, “I’m a gold, remember? Void dragons are rare, and that man still has a heart of gold. Better not let it turn into one of pure darkness.” She stood, approaching the king, “In the void, there is only loss, darkness, and nothingness. No happiness, not love, and no life.”

“What do you suggest?” Baltos asked.

“Give him Isdis. It will be up to her to keep him in check,” Kin smiled, “He’s better with us, not against us.”

“You think he’s going to be against us one day?” The king asked.

“I shall not interfere this time,” Kin sat back on the bed, “You need to give him a good reason to protect the capital and castle.”

Back in Arad’s room, Aella opened the door and looked inside, seeing Arad standing on the balcony with his eyes closed, Mira on the bed knitting something, and Eris cleaning her coffin.

“Kin said we can use the royal bath,” Aella said with a smile, “We’ve been traveling for a while and didn’t get time for a decent bath. Shall we go?”

Arad smiled, “A bath, nice,” He turned, walking toward the closet to pull his clothes.

Aella approached the closet with Arad and looked inside, “You head before us. I will bring the clothes.” She smiled, pulling him back.

“I haven’t seen your clothes yet,” Arad said as he stepped back.

“You will see them later on,” Aella smiled, and Arad nodded, “Well then, see you in the bath.”

“Do you know where it is?”

Arad nodded, “I do,”

Arad walked out of the room, walking down the hallway. ZON! He disappeared, teleporting directly to the bath’s door. “There are five people inside,” He sighed, grabbing the door handle. “But they are standing still.”

He walked inside and saw two maids standing in the changing room. They bowed the moment they saw him.

The bath’s door was locked with magic and only opened for the maids or the royal family. Since Arad opened it, that only means the headmaid Kin has allowed him to pass.

“What are you doing here?” Arad asked.

One of the maids bowed once again, “Bath handmaids. We help you change clothes, wash your back, or give you a massage.”

“Not all people can bathe on their own. It’s our job to help.” The other one said with a smile.

Arad stood there, staring at them. ^What would they think if I stripped here?^ He thought of the girls.

“My wives are coming. I better wait for them,” He sat on one of the wooden benches.

The two maids approached him, “Sir if you’re uncomfortable being the only one stripping, we could do it as well.”

Arad shook his head, “That isn’t it,” He sighed.

After a few minutes, the girls walked in, seeing Arad sitting on the bench with his eyes closed and the maids standing at the door.

The two maids bowed to the girls, “Ladies, we’ve been waiting,”

Mira stared at the maids and then at Arad, “What are you waiting for?”

“Those two said they could help me strip, and there are three other maids inside the bath. What do you say?” Arad asked, looking at them.

Aella scratched her head, “And?”

“Is it okay for me to strip? While they are here?” Arad asked, “Doma said I should ask first,”

“Ah! About that,” Aella giggled, “Usually, you should. But not you, and not them.” She looked at the maids, “Don’t mind them. They are here only to serve,”

Eris shook her head, staring at Aella, “I won’t be so sure,” She giggled, “Did you see how large Arad’s hands are? That maid’s whole face could fit in it,” 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈

Aella looked at the maids, “Arad is definitely far larger than them,” She smiled.

“The stronger and bigger you are, the more attractive you get. I doubt those maids can act normally around him,” Mira giggled.

Aella looked at Arad, “You’re almost seven feet tall, and they are only five and a half feet tall,”

“You underestimate us,” One of the maids smiled, “We are indifferent. That’s why we were assigned here.”

The other one nodded, “The queens would have killed us if we were laying our hands on the king or the one of the crown princes.”

Arad sighed in relief, “As long as they don’t get angry,” In the blink of an eye, his clothes disappeared into his stomach as he stood naked in front of the maids.

The two maids froze in place, falling on their butts as they glared up at Arad’s face.

Aella glared at the maid with a smirk, “He’s ours. Don’t dare lay a hand on him.” She hugged Arad’s side.
