Harem Tournament of Champions

In the corridor,

Kritz had been feeling uncomfortable, waiting it out for his lord to return. His legs drummed on the floor and he repeatedly sighed to voice out his discomfort.

"Would you keep quiet for once?!" Gran complained, rolling his eyes.

"Say that one more time and you'd be licking the floor," Kritz warned with a low growl.

Clap!

Clap!

"I was gone in just a few minutes and you are already in an argument. Kritz, is that how I raised you?"

Kritz got to his feet and bowed, "most certainly not, my lord."

Gran stifled a laugh, glad that it had worked in his favor, only to get a backlash right after.

"Didn't I tell you that doing so with insects is not worth your standards or time?" Hisha stressed with a smile before looking Gran's way.

Gran's body stiffened at the comment and knew all too well the feeling of Kritz at that moment.

"My lord." All the guards chorused in unison after nodding their heads to Kritz.

"Is this how you treat my assistant?!" His voice boomed as he took a glance to register each distinct face.

"We would never do so, my lord." They all bowed and looked to their chief guard to ascertain their words.

Forced into submission and unwilling to be a scapegoat for the others' enjoyment, he apologized to Kritz.

"If that's all, I would be taking my leave now." Hisha walked past with Kritz following in tow.

*****

In the citadel–harem bathhouse [I],

A group of 22 harem members were all sitting in a large body of water with a sponge in hand as they scrubbed their arms, backs, or legs and chatted during the process.

They all had a white towel wrapped securely around their hair, with little strands trailing down the sides of their faces.

The water was heated and a cloak of steam permeated.

Unclad and glistering with the flow of steady water trailing down a steep rock, there was a mixture of giggling and moans all around.

Solara looked around her and was disappointed that she had been placed in a different bathhouse other than that with Zui and tried to maintain her peace and blend in.

Her ears picked up on a side comment made by two ladies beside her.

"You should have seen the size, Hei. He was huge and not just some muscle head, but an actual hunk with all the right strength needed to put us in a state of serenity."

"You mean all 14 of you?" Hei gasped in shock, dropping her sponge into the water.

She leaned over, exposing her cunt with a small patch of black locks shaped in the form of a diamond on it.

"Got it!" Hei exclaimed.

Looking away, Solara held her breath and felt her confidence crushed at the words, some had gone as far as bedding their lord, yet all she had gotten was an orgasm without even getting the chance to go further.

'It must have been spectacular if they had managed to go far.' She thought with sadness, her eyes downcast and slightly envious.

"If you're lucky, he'd be visiting your harem next, I heard you were moved to Meretrix 03." Darcia wiggled her brows at Hei.

Blushing at the statement, Hei twirled her curly hair around her fingers and whistled out of uncertainty but as a mask to cover up her excitement.

Leaning to the side to make a whisper, Darcia snuck out a bit of an explanation she had come up with. Groping Hei's breasts.

Gasp!

"What the hell are you doing?!" Hei exclaimed, pulling away so quickly, causing her to crash in on Solara.

"Could you watch where you're going next time?" Solara hissed, pissed that she had been brought to the very side she wished to stay far away from.

"We're so sorry!" Hei apologized after she had realized who Solara was and forced Darcia to do the same.

"Hey!" Darcia struggled out of her grip and harrumphed, "what makes her special, anyways? Just some race which managed to get ahead due to her strength, but has she gotten closer to our lord?"

All had their attention drawn to the three ladies and were instantly curious about how the truth would play out.

"Solara, right?" Darcia gained more confidence as she raised her chin high and her hands akimbo, the water level barely covering her waist, but proudly showing her breasts.

Solara rolled her eyes but chose not to come out of the water as she had the water level covering her shoulders which had almost made her look as though she was a floating head.

With the silence that had followed, Darcia scoffed and proceeded to devise ways of mocking her.

"I bet you haven't had a taste of what true womanhood is like." She mocked with a low, high-pitched voice.

"Darcia, that's enough. This wouldn't end well." Hei persuaded, in hopes of appealing to reason.

Shaking her head, Darcia refused the advice and still had her devilish grin plastered.

Solara turned her attention elsewhere but responded only vaguely. "If you're so concerned about that, then I guess you would just be someone our lord could use to pass the time, instead of spending his time wisely as he does with me."

There was a murmur among the others, shocked by her witty response and calm demeanor for someone who could be completely different in the arena.

After Solara had given a hard-hitting reply, she had a grin of satisfaction and pulled off the towel to wash her hair.

Darcia gritted her teeth and was held back by Hei, "don't complicate this any further."

Turning around to maintain her superiority, her hazel eyes glowed.

Darcia dropped to her knees, clutching her breasts and holding her head.

"The heat signatures determine your mood and I wouldn't be shocked to know it's envy that's triggering this response."

Solara clicked her tongue and had a pitiful gaze on her, she had been so against Alta using her ability on them in meretrix one at a time.

With her perspective changed after having a taste of what it feels to enforce her superiority to her benefit, she couldn't help but willingly support Alta in her heart.

'You all are weak and deserve no right to stand by our lord's side!'

All had made their way and stared silently at the two.

"How about we all lay low and desist from being envious and finish up with our bathing?" Solara whispered with a grin, audible enough to be faintly heard by the rest.

With that being said, she let go of her hold on Darcia, not before making a side note. "Do not challenge me while we are out of the arena if you can't bear the burden of the little excerpt."

Wrapping her hair with the towel, she stepped out of the water, naked and careless about who cared or stared.

Picking up an orange wool towel from the metal grab bar, she let out a sigh of refreshment and stretched.

Walking towards the door, she had merely reached out for the handle when she watched it fly open.

"My lord?" She gasped in disbelief, puzzled as to how he had managed to locate their bathhouse.

Hisha's eyes roved around the bathhouse.

"It's our pleasure, my lord." The rest all chorused in greeting him with the best sultry voice they could muster.

When his eyes had focused on Darcia, she gave a smooch lips his way and jiggled her breast and groped on it while giving a moaning face in hopes of his enjoyment and attention.

"Darcia, you look lovely as always." Hisha reluctantly praised.

'Disgusting!' He thought back at the display and had his attention back on an unsuspecting Solara.

Initiating a conversation with her, he was glad that she was doing okay, lately, all he had been thinking about was having her by his side.

"Shall we?" He offered his hand to her with a warm smile.

At first confused, she stared at his hand. "Where are we headed, my lord?"

She fiddled with her fingers, her voice soft and low, much to the shock of the rest who had witnessed her intimidating side.

The bathhouse fell silent as they all watched Hisha's smile only brighten. "Just trust me."

Solara nodded her head and took his hold with much pleasure and slammed the door shut.

All the ladies turned their attention to Darcia who still stared at the door dumbfounded.

"We could feel the chemistry between you two other than his sexual gratification." One of the females sarcastically made a side comment.

"Even the one accused was specially picked by our lord. Maybe we should go learn lessons from her instead."

All except for Hei burst into laughter at the comment and stepped out of the water gradually, ready to leave.

Darcia bit down on her bottom lips, 'in due time, you all would regret this!'
