There was only one bed in the room, and that only meant one thing. "Are we supposed to fit on that thing? All of us?" The bed was designed for one person, so cramming four people on it
"It is the only clean one. I wasn't joking about the lice part. This place is filled with them. Probably why Warlord Lisa gave them soap." She turned her head toward Leon. "Or perhaps you don't want to sleep with us?"
Leon stared at her, then back at the bed, where Roberta waved his foot at him, and Beatrice hid behind her. "I'm worried that we won't fit. Won't that thing crumble beneath us?"
"It should hold." Noel approached the bed, and Leon sighed, following her. As he crawled into the bed, the three girls all swarmed him, and he could feel their soft bodies hugging him tightly. Even Noel felt soft as she relaxed. Her large breasts pushed on his chest, and he could hear her breathing on his ear.
Roberta clenched her thighs on his still hard flesh, rubbing it on her soft lower lips as she licked his chest. "Really, you don't want it?" She looked at him with a hungry glare.
Beatrice tried to look calm and sleep, but she was sweating, panting, wet, and slowly rubbing herself against Leon's thigh. Even Noel had silently slipped her hand between her legs and was now busy.
"You three... You know that we should sleep, right?" He sighed, and they all stared at him. Defeated, he gave each of them a deep, long kiss and silently tried to fall asleep until he did.
When he woke up at dawn, he couldn't breathe or see anything. It didn't take him a second to recognize the pristine masterpiece of a peach that landed on his face. Noel's cake could even strangle a titan. He gently pushed her aside, looked down, and saw that Noel's face rested right on his flesh, Beatrice was beneath his jeweled, and Roberta was upside down, hugging his right leg and sucking on his toes as if it was her thumb.
He sighed, slowly pulled away from the bed, and stretched. He didn't know whether to wake them up or not. The roosters outside had just started calling. Then, as if timed, he heard someone knocking on the door, and a woman's voice called out. It sounded young, but tired and sleepy.
Leon looked around for something quick to wear and found one of the towers that they got yesterday. This one was big, so it was probably the one Noel got since she was big.
He wrapped it around his body and approached the door. "Who's there? I'm awake." He replied, and the woman's voice growled. "Then open the door. Father sent me here with an important delivery for you."
"If it's a letter, then push from underneath the door. If not, then wait a bit. I'll get ready." He replied with a sigh and went back to the bed, covered the three girls, and tried to see if there were any clothes for him to quickly put on.
"Come on! Just open the door. I'll give it to you and leave. We're busy preparing and are a bit late." As the woman outside growled in a frustrated voice, Leon shook his head. "Fine, fine."
He approached the door, used the key to unlock it, and pulled it open. At that moment, the woman outside pushed the door open even further and took a step into the room. "Really, you..." She immediately froze in place, feeling her entire body screaming in pain.
On the bed, a naked blond young woman was glaring at her directly with dark eyes, extending one hand forward. Beside the blond woman was another who looked a bit younger, fast asleep.
"Don't kill her!" Hearing Leon growl, the woman realized that someone already had her neck in a chokehold, with a dagger to her ribs. "Noel, let go of her." Noel, who was half asleep, blinked several times. "But... she came uninvited."
"True, but that isn't a valid reason to kill her. Let go, and put something on." He pointed at the pile of clothes and then turned back. "Same for you, Roberta."
"Tehe!" She smiled, "You knew I wasn't asleep?"
Leon sighed. "Noel always woke up at dawn before me, and I know for a fact you sleep like a wolf with one eye open. Now get something on." He then turned toward the woman. "Well, that's the thing you wanted to deliver?"
He looked at the wrapped red box on the ground. "A gift? Or a message? Either way... Let's hope it didn't break."
The woman was silent for a few seconds, and then cried. "What... was that?! She almost killed me, and what did that blond one do?" She fell to her knees, shaking as she realized she had just been an inch away from death.
Leon squatted to look her in the face. "Imagine you were naked in your own room, changing clothes or doing whatever, and then I come knocking, saying I've got a box to deliver. Then I push the door and barge in as you did just now." He patted her on the shoulder. "I'll be stripped, locked into the pillory, and whipped."
"Luckily, the law goes both ways. I'm here only wearing a towel, and three of them were naked." He glared at her face, and she paled. "That'll get you whipped in front of the masses."
"Please..." She started shaking, and Leon stood. "What got into you anyway?" He sighed, "Stand up,. I won't report you. We've got more important things to take care of." He looked at Roberta and Noel, who were putting on their clothes.
Noel looked back at him, having failed to put on any of the underwear that she got from the villages, as they were all too small. "If she were a maid, she would've been punished as well. Just for the rudeness of barging into the room of a Lord without permission. Sometimes it's punished by death."
Roberta sighed. "Barging into a locked room invited is an attack." Since she was an assassin, that made sense.
"You heard them. This is the last time." Helped her stand. "What's your name anyway?"
"Sara... the chieftain's daughter..." She mumbled with her face still as pale as snow. "The girl we're supposed to escort?"
She nodded and he smiled. "And you're the daughter of the chieftain? Didn't he teach you any etiquette." She got even paler, so Leon decided to just drop it.
"Fine, fine... Listen, I won't report you. Let's pretend this never happened, right?" He tapped her on the back, pushed her out of the room, and closed the door.
"Don't forget to wake Beatrice. We're heading out."
