A Relaxing Interlude

“In all my years, I have never seen anything like that,” Viola says, her voice tinged with awe as she gestures to the petite brunette curled up in the fetal position on the carpet. A thick stream of milky fluid still oozes from between Cassandra’s legs, pooling beneath her as she lies motionless, her breathing shallow and uneven.

The princess gingerly rises from her throne, wincing slightly as she adjusts to the soreness between her legs. She glances at you, her blue eyes gleaming with a mix of satisfaction and curiosity. “Come,” she says, her tone brisk but not unkind. “I have many plans for you, but they all require you to be well-fed and...” She glances down at your flaccid cock, a faint smirk playing on her lips. “Well-rested.”

With surprising ease, she hauls you to your feet, her strength belying her slender frame. Leaving a still-**** Cassandra lying in the spreading pool of semen, Viola leads you out of the room through a side door and down a winding flight of stairs. The stone steps are worn smooth from centuries of use, and the air grows cooler as you descend.

“These are the royal baths,” Viola explains as you reach the bottom of the staircase. “Any noblewoman or man may use them, though, truth be told, men are quite a rare sight.” She glances at you, her smirk widening. “You’ll likely be the center of attention.”

As the air grows more humid, you begin to pick up on the faint smell of sulfur, sharp and earthy. The scent grows stronger as you approach a set of enormous wooden doors, their surfaces carved with intricate patterns of waves and flames.

“Hot springs, Your Highness?” you ask, your voice echoing softly in the stairwell.

Viola chuckles, a warm, melodic sound. “Call me Viola,” she says, her tone casual but firm. She considers your question for a moment, her brow furrowing slightly. “And yes, though I’ve never heard the term, ‘hot springs’ would be an accurate description. This palace was built on these pools. There are many more in the area, but these are by far the largest.”

She pushes open the heavy doors, and you’re greeted by the sight of a massive geothermal pool. The chamber is vast, its high ceiling supported by stone columns carved to resemble trees. Steam rises from the surface of the water, curling into the air and creating a hazy, otherworldly atmosphere. Women of every age, shape, and size lounge in and around the water, their laughter and conversation filling the space with a lively hum.

More than a few heads turn in your direction as you enter, their eyes widening with curiosity. Most gazes immediately fixate on the long member dangling between your legs, their whispers and murmurs creating a ripple of interest through the room.

Viola leads you to a private pool off to one side of the chamber, its waters separated from the main bath by a low stone wall. The two of you slowly sink into the hot water, the warmth enveloping you like a comforting embrace. You let out a deep sigh as the tension melts from your muscles, the heat soothing your aches and pains.

You close your eyes, allowing yourself to relax for the first time in what feels like forever. How long has it been since you’ve been able to let your guard down like this? The thought is fleeting, though, as Viola’s voice pulls you back to the present.

“Rest while you can,” she whispers, her breath warm against your ear. “I’ll have much need of your sword in the coming days.”

Her words linger in the air, a promise—or perhaps a warning—but you’re too exhausted to dwell on them. The heat of the water and the gentle hum of the baths lull you into a deep, dreamless sleep.

You must have drifted off, as you can’t have been asleep for more than an hour when a gentle nudge rouses you. Your eyes spring open, but Viola is nowhere to be found. The private pool is empty, the steam rising from the water in lazy curls.

You turn, your senses on high alert, and find yourself face-to-face with...
