Chapter 375 Royal Bath II
“She’s right,” Mira growled from the side, grabbing Arad’s other side. “Hands off,”
“We won’t,” One of the maids cried, barely standing.
Eris stared at the maids with a smile, “Don’t listen to them. You can always lay your hands on him.” She giggled, “Would give me an excuse to eat,” She only saw them as food.
Arad walked forward, opening the bath’s door, “I’m going in first. You follow me when you finish taking your clothes out,”
The two maids stood, staring at Arad’s back as he walked into the bath.
“AW!” The two maids cried as Aella and Mira pulled them by the hair, “You’re helping us. Stop gawking at him.” Aella growled.
Arad walked inside the bath, seeing a marble shower room with a large cubic water jug in the ceiling. A hit of magic radiated from it.
^There is something hot inside that jug. It heats the water inside.^ Arad thought his eyes glowing as inspected the magic device, “I should get one for home.”
“It’s quite expensive. Fire stones aren’t easily found, nor cheap,” A voice came from behind Arad. When he turned, he saw three maids standing behind, only covering their bodies with towels.
“You’re the three maids serving inside the bath.” Arad turned toward, “You know about it?”
“It’s cost five gold coins for a firestone that lasts about a month before draining. You can buy them at the magic shop or order them from the counselor of the castle.” One of the maids replied with a bow and approached Arad, “That’s a talk for later. Now we help you bathe.”
Arad nodded, “Fine,” He turned around, standing beneath the water jug.
The maid lifted her hand, “Open,” The jug showered Arad with hot water. “Stay there for a few moments, please,” The maid said as the other two rushed to bring the soap and sponges.
Arad remained standing as the steaming hot water dripped across his shoulders. The remaining maid stared at his back, “How come you have abs on your back?” She asked with a confused face.
Arad turned his face toward her, “I do?”
“They look like abs. Six of them bulging out, but I’m sure they are something else.” The maid looked closer at his back, “Muscles. They are linked down to your hips. I studied musculature and bones for massage. But I never saw such a physique.”
Arad thought about it for a second, and his maid quickly realized the nature of those bulges. They are muscles, the ones responsible for moving his massive tail.
“I do have those. It’s probably related.” In the blink of an eye, Arad sprouted his tail and wings.
Thud! The maid jumped back, slipping and falling to the ground, her towel dropping as her eyes stared at Arad’s tail. A scaly black tail, thicker than her hips and almost three meters long. The strange muscles on Arad’s back wrapped around the tail’s base, giving it movement. .
As the tail’s tip brushed on the ground, it scratched a large cut into the marble floor as if struck by a heavy sword.
The other two maids stared in Arad’s direction as they heard their friend fall and gasp. Their faces twisted as they saw the two massive black wings expanding across the bath, each one almost five meters long and harder than steel.
Arad turned toward the maid, four horns emerging from his head as he glared at her with purple glowing eyes, “I’m a half-dragon. My physique comes from my ancestors’ thick blood and might.”
The maid smiled, standing up, “You kind are so rare and hard to convince that we didn’t have any samples to study. Sorry if my massage skills would be insufficient later,”
“Don’t worry about it,” Arad shook his head, “It shouldn’t be that hard for someone with knowledge,”
“Did you get massaged before?” The maid asked, approaching him.
“Isdis gave me a massage and she didn’t have any trouble,” Arad replied, scratching his chin as his wings and tail got sucked back into his body.
The maid gasped, “Isdis? Princess Isdis?” She stared at Arad, baffled. “Excuse my language, but are you sure it was that brick?”
“You just called the princess a brick?” Arad stared at her.
“She’s hardheaded, arrogant, and most notably, unwilling to do anything extra for other people. Except for making ice for the knights and kitchen, but she said that’s a training, and she likes cold beer, so that is that,” The maid looked down, noticing Arad’s hanging meat.
“You didn’t sleep with her, did you?” She asked.
Arad shook his face, “No, I only sleep with my wives if I understood you right. But if you mean sleeping, we did sleep in the same room for at least a week travel,”
The maid looked at Arad’s face, “This is some great news. I will talk with her immediately. This isn’t something to be ignored.” The maid buffed her bare chest and lifted her towel from the ground with a smile on her face.
“Is something off?” Arad asked.
The maid approached Arad until her chest touched his side, She whispered, “Classified information, but we were informed last month to train Isdis for an arranged marriage when she comes back from her trip. The king had plans to marry her to the prince of the western dwarf kingdom.”
The maid smiled, her hand slipping into Arad’s stomach, “With you around, we might be able to reverse that.” She giggled, “I’m sure the king is rethinking that. If he didn’t scrap the plan already.”
“You’re too close,” Arad stared at the maid, unfazed.
“While we deal with that,” she stared at his face, “How about me? Care to spend a night. I can teach you a few things.” Her hand slipped where it shouldn’t.
“No,” Arad replied with a stern face, “You’re too old, and I can’t keep you around, so it doesn’t make sense,”
The maid froze in her place, rejected without a single reaction. Even though she was rubbing her body all over his side, her hand had been hard at work. The snake didn’t even flinch or stand.
“Come on, one night is enough,” The smiled, trying to recover.
Thud! Arad grabbed the maid by the head, lifting her up, “If you aren’t ready to carry a child and settle down then no. And my answer doesn’t matter. You have to get through my wives first.” Swosh! With a single swift motion, Arad threw her into the bath.
SPLASH! As the maid fell in the water, she lunged out, “HOT!” she cried, rushing out and shaking the water out of her body, “You threw me?”
“I would have killed you if he didn’t,” The maid heard a voice beside her ear, and when she turned, she saw a tiny naked pixie flying beside her face. “Get away from him,” Tick! Zephyr flicked the maid’s forehead and sent her to the water once again.
The other maids came back with the soap and sponges, seeing their friend walking slowly out of the hot bath. “Why did you get that close to him,” One of them sighed.
“I mean,” The maid cried, “Look at him!”
The two maids stared at Arad and then turned to their friend, “We are desperate, but not as much as to go after a married man,” One replied and the other threw a sponge to the maid, “Ge back ready to work, his wives are coming,”
Aella, Mira, and Isdis walked out of the changing room, covering their bodies with towels. They paused, seeing a naked maid standing in the middle of the bath, her skin flushed red.
Arad standing in the back under running hot water, his fists resting on his hips as he glared at them, naked.
“What is going on?” Mira asked.
SWOSH! Zephyr flew in front of the girls. She pointed back at the maid in the water, “She got horny and tried to make a move on Arad, so he threw her into the hot water,”
