Visit the servants’ changing room

As Duncan considers how he can rescue Terrice, a thought crosses his mind. The servant girls’ changing room is just down the hall.

“Servant girls?” says Gorgall. “Hmmmm.... That would definitely hit the spot. Which way to the feast?”

“It’s down this hall,” says Duncan. “It’s beem a while since I’ve been there. I got caught in one of the lockers when I was 16 and was ordered by my mother not to come down here again. Of course, these days, servant girls come to me, rather than me having to go looking....”

“You stud, you,” says Gorgall, placatingly. “Just hurry, before we both pass out.”

As he approaches the changing room, he sees a young woman hurrying toward the door. She appears to be out of breath and somewhat disheveled. Without looking in Duncan’s direction, she rushes into the changing room.

“A lovely creature,” says Gorgall, hungrily.

“I think her name is Eva,” says Duncan, trying desperately to place her. He has a distinct memory of the top of her head, but he is having difficulty placing the surroundings. “I think she cleaned my quarters a few weeks ago,” he said.

“And polished your broomstick, too, it appears,” says Gorgall, approvingly. “Was that all she did for you?”

“I honestly can’t remember,” said Duncan. “That was weeks ago, and I feel so exhausted right now! Does it really matter?”

“I just like savoring your memories,” said Gorgall. “It’s like inhaling the scent of wine before you gulp it down.”

Soon Duncan is standing in front of the door. He looks in both directions and sees no one in the hallway. Silently, he opens the door and steps inside.

The locker room is empty, but he hears voices coming from the shower area.

“Eva! I wondered if I would have to cover for you again. Let me guess.... You were helping the stable boy take care of the horses?”

“What makes you say that, Tam? Did someone see me down there again?”

“I don’t know about that,” responds Tam. “But you have straw in your hair, and you are walking a little awkwardly.”

Eva giggles nervously. “Say what you will about Horace. He may not be the smartest guy in the kingdom, but he could give any of those horses a run for their money where it really counts!”

“I assume you aren’t talking about his ability to jump fences?” teases Tam.

“You know what I’m talking about. I’d swear it’s like he has another arm hanging between his legs! When he gets going, I sometimes feel like he’s going to split me in two!”

“That’s probably why he’s so dim. With all the blood needed to fill his penis, there’s nothing left for his brains.”

“Isn’t that the way with all men?” asked Eva, laughing.

Duncan looks around the corner and sees Eva and Tam under the showers. Both women are naked, and their soapy, wet bodies gleam seductively through the steam of the hot water.

“Are you just finishing your shift?” asks Eva.

“Yes, and getting ready to start a second one. Apparently Terrice didn’t show up for her shift, and I have to cover for her.”

“Hmmm.... That’s not like her,” says Eva. “Did anyone check Prince Duncan’s quarters?”

“I don’t know. All I know is that I have to stay on and help get things ready for Princess Adella’s birthday celebration. With all of the guests who are coming, Terrice picked a fine time to be absent.”

Duncan could stand and watch these two beauties scrub themselves all day, but he feels his strength rapidly leaving him. He steps forward, clears his throat, and says, “Excuse me, ladies. Am I interrupting?”

Both women are startled at the sound of a male voice and instinctively cover themselves as best they can with their arms. Upon realizing it is Duncan, they relax somewhat.

“Your Highness!” says Tam. “We did not expect you! Is there something you need?”

She and Eva exchange knowing glances.

“I just wanted to personally thank each of you for your hard work,” said Duncan, casually removing his clothing. The ladies are so intent on his sudden appearance that neither of them notice Duncan’s clothing dissolving into his hands as soon as he lets go of the item.

He steps into the showers, naked, and looks at each of the ladies in turn. “I’m just trying to think of the best way to extend my appreciation,” he says, with a smile.
