At the inn

The trip to the inn was uneventful. The remaining distance had seemed terrifyingly long to the two women when they had been alone. But now that the ten Maidens were with them it didn’t seem long at all. Vilea was sure that not even the most **** group of bandits would risk attacking them when they had such an escort.

Once the small group reached their destination Vilea got out of the carriage followed by her new handmaiden. As she took a look at her surroundings the courtesan noticed that they were not where she had expected. “This isn’t the inn I normally visit.” She noted.

“Unfortunately the inn you prefer didn’t have enough free rooms for all of us, and I didn’t like the idea of forcing people to vacant their rooms.” Nyla explained. “So I decided that we should stay here instead, and I left one of our companions to reserve the necessary rooms. But I already told you that. In any case this place is much safer.”

Indeed “The Gorgeous Valkyrie” was one of the safest (some claimed it is the safest) inns in the kingdom. It was run by a rich widow who employed only women. Because even the inn’s guards were female one could think that the place is an easy target. Nothing could be further from the truth – the warrior women that guarded it put most veteran warriors to shame. Unfortunately the rooms were far from cheap.

“Don’t worry about the cost – we’ll handle that,” Nyla said, as if reading Vilea’s thoughts.

The small group of women left the driver to take care of the carriage and the horses and went inside the inn, where a young girl greeted them with a bow. “Welcome to the Gorgeous Valkyrie. My name is Elsa. You must be the ones we’ve been expecting.”

“Yes, we are. I assume Lin took care of everything?” Nyla inquired.

“That is correct. Your friend is in her room. Would you like me to bring you to her, or is there anything you want before that?”

“Nothing right now, so just bring us to Lin.” Nyla ordered. The serving girl bowed and started leading the way.

While the two women were talking Vilea took a look around the room. As expected it was almost empty – the only people present were three men sitting around a table in a far corner and talking quietly, probably discussing some private matter. The rest of the patrons had most likely retreated to their quarters already because of the late hour.

Vilea, Jileen, and their companions followed Elsa to the second floor where she stopped in front of a door. “This is your friend’s room. She said she’ll personally bring you to your rooms. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go.” The young girl left quickly, barely stopping herself from running so as not to insult the guests. She had heard enough rumors about the Maidens to not want to stay in their company any longer than necessary.

Nyla opened the door and entered the room without knocking, followed by the other eleven women. Inside they found two young girls sitting at the edge of a double bed, one of them sitting in the other's lap. The older of the two had long straight black hair and, as far as Vilea could see from her place, was wearing the clothes worn by a Maiden when she needed to look presentable without putting on her armor. Her legs were spread wide. The other girl looked 18 or 19 years old, with brown hair, and judging by her clothing she was working at the inn. Her dress was hiked up around her waist and her legs were also spread wide, offering an unrestricted view of her moist pussy and the two slender fingers buried inside it. Her left breast was being fondled through her dress by the older woman’s hand. Her closed eyes opened when she heard the door opening and closing, and her flushed face got redder as she saw the women that had entered and were now looking at her. But despite her embarrassment she didn’t protest or try to stop what was happening to her – instead she just closed her eyes again and moaned in pleasure.

“Enjoying yourself, Lin?” Nyla asked.

“As you can see.” The black-haired Maiden answered unashamedly as she looked at the women that had just arrived. “I reserved seven rooms, each with a double bed, so that the lady could sleep alone if she so desires.” She looked at Jileen and then at Vilea. “I didn’t take into account your handmaiden, but even so it’s not a problem, milady. The best one is yours, of course. It’s up to you to decide if you’ll sleep alone or not, and who to share the room and the bed with should you choose the latter.”

Vilea realized she needed to be careful in handling this matter, or she risked insulting the Maidens, and doing so wasn’t very different from directly insulting the princess. If she decided to sleep alone then Jileen would have to share a room with one of the Maidens. The courtesan had little doubt that her young and inexperienced handmaiden would be seduced and taken advantage of, and Vilea wanted to be the first one to seduce her. Not to mention that it could be misinterpreted as not trusting the Maidens enough. She could share her room with Jileen, in which case she could be the one to seduce the young girl. But the Maidens could take this as a sign that she doesn’t trust them and take offense. She wasn’t sure how they would react to something they considered an insult. The third option was to share her room with one of Maidens while Jileen sleeps alone. In that case Vilea would be the one to deal with the “problems”, but that too could be taken the wrong way – as not trusting her temporary companions enough to leave Jileen in their care. The final option was for one Maiden to sleep alone while Vilea and Jileen share their respective rooms with the other Maidens – this way no one would be insulted, but both the courtesan and her new handmaiden would almost certainly end up pleasuring their respective companions.

Everyone was looking at Vilea waiting for her decision. She had to make a choice…
