One back in the city and separated from the Silver Chains, Rex went to the same inn he had rented room previously, droping by some of the jewelcrafters he had visited on the first day in this city, when he was asking around. he had a whole backpack with precious metals and gems to sell off. And while he had no plans to offload it all right now since he was sure he could get much better prices with the merchants tommorow, he needed some extra liquid currency. He went through a couple shops and sold a few gems, netting himself an extra gold coin. He reckoned that was enough for the day. Then he brought his girls to the same inn he stayed at last time. While going there, he had his girls wear a baggy clothing he had gotten his hands on thanks to Aina, so their collarbones and most features were hidden. Rex had no interest of parading Ira to all the lecherous retards around, especially since his girls didnt have warlords brand on their collarbones. Since they were covered sufficiently his group was not harrased, or annoyed on their way.

Entering the inn Rex saw the same inkeeper lady at the reception/bar counter. He aproached her, waved his hand in greeting and spoke "Hello again, have any rooms spare?"

"Why of course we do" the lady responded "anything in particular?" she asked and then noticing the, rather well obscured, four individuals close to Rex raised an eyebrow and continiued "Lord archon has some company now?"

"Jea, they are mine. Need two rooms. bed disposition, doesnt matter much but i need one with at least two beds. Also i heard you have a bigger bath that one could rent for a while." Rex responded, and added a few more questions of his own.

"Yes we do indeed, we charge it 5 silvers by the hour. The soap and other necesities are included." innkeep spoke, showing her best salesperson smile.

"Great so ill need the bath for an hour then and those two rooms for a night."

"Two rooms for five people for a night and a bath reservation for an hour. That will be fifteen silvers." inkep calculated, Rex pulled out the required money and paid. As he did so the inkeeper opened the door behind her and yelled out "Nikki, got customers to serve! Get your ass here." A few moments later, a boy, aproximately the age of fourteen, ran out the back door and the inkeep gave him orders "Prepeare the bath, and lead these peaople there, reservation for an hour." While inkeep was giving a few more instructions to the boy, Rex adressed her

"You got a girl working hereas well? Need some help with my companions in the bath. They are all girls, so dont worry. Just need someone to show them the ropes of a proper civilised bath." The inkeep imediatly understood that the companions were fresh slaves. Not at all a rarity. She noded and spoke

"Three more silver for the girl for the hour". Rex nodded and paid. He exchanged a few words with the inkeep while the boy prepeared the bath and one bath was ready, Rex and his entourage followed the boy and a girl to the bath. Rex, his entourage and the girl entered the bath, boy hanged a sign outside and stood watch by the doors, looking out for the girl. While it was not a regular occurance, sometimes some adventurers liked to get agressive with staff of inns. Sound of clothes rustling, water splashing, and pleasant groans were heard from the bath.

Bath was in a similar style to japanese baths. You had a washing area with small stools, a big basket with clean and warm water, laddles, to draw the warm water, several different texture sponges, soap and some cloth to wash oneself preoperly, before soaking in rather sizeable pool of hot water. Rex paid no attention to women and the girl behindd, disrobed, his back turned to them, sat on a stool, took one sponge, a piece of soap, drew some water, poured it over himsleft and started tto soap up. realizing his girls were still standing there he spoke. "Dont just stand there, disrobe and wash yourselves. Follow the girls instructions, and try to remember. baths are going to be a wery important part of your lives from now on." Still not even glancing in their way he continued "Get to it girl. They have zero experience in proper bathing with soap and all, so be thorough." Once he women started to get to it Rex relaxed and continiued his own process. He was already thinking that he might just buy a properly trained sex lave that would teach all his future girls some techniques. But that was for later. He would enjoy a proper bath first.

After a round of proper scrubbing and washing the dirt away, rex got into the pool. A happy groan escaped him. That was his own little paradise. He loved grinding, he loved the rush of energy that he gained after each drain, but there just was something magical in a hot bath after a long day(or in his case something like a week) of hard work. He had kept his back to the girls the whole time and the only accident that happened, if one could call it that was when Ira disrobed the staff girls exclaimed "How pretty!" to which Rex snickered, and without turning around spoke "I killed an orc champion for her you know, she is mine, dont get any ideas" His tone was light, no threat or any negative energy in the tone, and then he just laughed a bit. Once all his women were washed properly they stood by the pool. naked and nervous, keeping silent. So very timid. Deep in theit souls they new they coudnt go against their master, and the ferocity and power they saw Rex display during their travel, had them quite terrified. Rex sensing their hesitation spoke "Get in the bath, enjoy the hot water, and listen." he waited for all four to get in, adn while they were still fearfull and timid, he saw a wave of calmness wash over them, if only for a moment, as the hot water was doing its magic. "Girl, your job is done, you may leave" Rex adressed the girl "Tell the boy to warn me ten minutes before the time ends." The girl quicky get fully dressed, and left the room. She noticed that the young man had not looked at her half naked body even once as she was instructing and teahing the women the art of proper bathing, but rememberring the beaty of one of the girls she also undertood why that could be the case. She was pretty decently looking, but when next to such beauty, she might as well not exist. All the bettter for her. The young man was no price charming either. Just an average man. Nothing special ignoring the eyes of course.

Not aware of the servant girls thoughts, not that Rex would care even if he knew, he waited a bit for his girls to get adjusted to the hot water, and then asked "How do you people treat their slaves? " What followed was a few minutes of a rather bland description of the treatment of slaves in lesser orc society. They had many tribes that warred anong each other and the winner would often enslave the women and children of the defeated. Men were slaughtered, and women used as entertainment and breeders, to replenish the winning sides numbers. Being female slave meant any male could have a go as long as the woman was not pregnant. For ordinary women it was not that much better. Once of age the males of the tribe would fight for given female based on her characteristics. Then only the husband could enjoy said woman. The more desirable, the bigger the competition. Ira for example, with her exeptional looks, was claimed by a champion, and champions were notirious for not caring about women besides sating their lust with dozens of slaves at a time. They were expecting the same here. Tales of humans made them out to be even more savage and monstrous than orcs. Hearing all this Rex sighed and spoke

"You all belong to me, and me alone. No other male is allowed to touch you, let alone fuck you. And while part of the slaves that I aquire will be sold, and their condition will no longer be a concern of mine, you three" Rex pointed the the girls "Lira, Liara and Lianne are lucky to be among the very first. I will keep you around as my personal maids. Ira, from now of i am going to call you Irina. Sounds more pleasing. I will have you taught to oversee and manage my other slaves. Your beaty qualifies you be be among my favorites. Now regarding the rules you have to follow. As you feel in your soul, you cannot harm or my property, that includes my other slaves unless I have given you permission to do so. Do not allow others to sexually touch you." Rex spent a few more minutes explaining different nuances regarding more tricky situations regarding human societies and pecking order, and some other things of note. He ended his rule list emphasizing a necesity of his. What he needed was not soulless husks that just fulfilled their given tasks. He wanted them to think, and talk, and live.

After the bath Rex entourage had a hearthy supper, and they retired to the rooms he was given. As per Rex request the rooms were next to one another. Rex and irina were in one room, and the trio was in the second. Now irina was even more beautifull than when Rex first saw her. And since he finally had a proper chance to rest, he had no plans to hold back any longer. Once in the room, Rex got naked laid on the bed and signaled for Irina to follow suit. Orcs had little shame to begin with and so she too disrobed and laid on the bed. She was aware of what was going to happen. All things considered, this seemed more preferable that the orc champion. This man was stronger, and strenght meant all in orc tribes. Her mother had told her the basics of the ritual. She new it would hurt. It always does her mother told her, but it was neccesary. As her master was laying on the bed, which she didnt understood why, she did as her mother had taught her. One naked, she got on the bed, got on all four, and spread her legs.

"I am ready master." she spoke. Her voice even, as she had been prepeared for this for more than a week. Her master looked at her from the side, a hint of lust and pride in his gaze. He got up, positioned himself behind her, his hands roaming over her back, then her hips, then his hands roamed over her thighs. Then his hands spent a some time enjoying her ampple yet firm ass. It seemed he was in no rush, enjoying his prize to the fullest. She had never heard of such a thing. The solf and light touches left rather pleasant, not at all what she had expected. His every movement elicited a slight tingle, and inkling of something pleasant. She could feel a miniscule spark, lighting up deep within her. A need, ever so small, but there. Then she felt his member touching her entrance, poking her a bit. She knew the pain would start soon, and she gritted her teeth, but nothing happened. The nshe hear him speak

"Barely any reaction, guess ill hate to work harder." She felt him pull her up, her back against his chest, one of his arms taking hold of her breastand starting to massage it, from time to time rubbing her nipple. The other sneaked down and started to rub lower lips and entrance, his index finger somethimes sliding in, his thumb rubbing her clitoris. His movements were measured, sometimes slow, then increasing pace, then slowing down again. As time went on she felt that small flicker deep within her to start to burn hotter and hotter, and she felt her lower half to moisten more and more. The longer it went on the more heated she became, untill finaly his lower hand left her soaked lower half

"Now you are ready." he spoke, and allowed her to slup don on the bed. He then pulled her ass up, lined up is member, and entered. Innitally there was slight pain, but nothing like she had expected. His movements slow, measured, allowing her insides to adjust to his size. She could feel the friction of her insides and his member ever so smooth because of her wetness. The longer he was at it the lesser the pain, and the more pleasurable it felt. Untill the pain stopped entirely, and all she could feel was pleasure. Each trust while pleasurable on its own brought closer somethin else, something unexplainable. And eventually it came. A n explosion of pleasure that had her arching her back, her insides clenching, trying to grip his member and not letting it go. She was in her high for some time, and then she slumped on the bed, exausted. That wasnt the end though. he once again stared to move, driving her back in the whirlwind of pleasure. It went on for what felt like forever, untill in one of her climaxes, she felt him explode inside of her, bringing her high to a new peak. When she finaly was falling asleep all she felt was bliss, and the hope to experiece something like this again.

Rex slept a few hours, increadibly satisfied with himself. Those nonstop grinds had brought him insane endurance, a fact he would be abusing quite often. He still had quite a bit of time left before the meeting with Aina. He looked at Irina, who had snugged up to him and was still out cold after last night. He went over his plan and bulletpoints he needed to go over with the merchants. The main thing he needed was to aquire a residence where he could station himself and his women. He was growing at a pace that made dungeoning witha party quite impossible as others coudnt keep up. he just relaxed and waited for Irina to wake up, and the other girls to come to his room once they wake up. His senses told him others were okey and sleeping as well, so he just waited.

Some twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door "master" was uttered and Rex beckoned them in. The three girls entered the room, and saw irina, still half asleep on the bed. Rex came out of teh small bathroom that each room had. They spent some minutes to wake Irina up and prepare. Girls were still rather well covered, since he had not met the merchants. rex was sure he could take down the majority of adventurers in normal circumstances, but he still chose to remain vigilant and not expose his actual combat strenght. Even Silver Chaisn hadnt seen him going all out, and now he was having quite a lot of different ideas regarding possible blood magic applications in combat or as a utility abilities.

Their breakfast was mostly quiet, some small questions here and there from girls. They were slowly adapting to their masters commandments. The trio had talked among themselves the previous night and had come to a conclusion that while they were slaves now, there was a great possibility that this was their greatest lucky encounter. The fact alone they werent free use stress relief for every passerby alone was a blessing for a slave, not to mention their master was treating them incredibly well. Rex will bring his entourage to the meeting, and will have them either stand in attendance or in the next room, depending on Ainas suggestion. he trusted the girl quite a bit, but that didnt mean he wasnt carefull and prepearing for many kinds of contingencies. Always be prepeared, that was Rex's moto right now. And he just needed to aquire a permanent residence, with Ainas contacts and the merchants ensure his residence is secured and not disturbed so he can leave his entourage there while he grinds the dungeon deeper. pick up some contract work as a blood mage to cover the expenses, hire a couple of tutors to teach his girls some knowledge like arithmetics, and other knwoledge neccesary for a life in a city.

When the apointed time was closing in Rex arived at the meeting point. He didnt have to wait long for Aina to arive. They greeted each other, exchanged a few words, and moved in a direction of the merchants guild. Rex inquired how many merchants would be be introducted to, and what are their specialities, characters and tendencies. He liked to have at least some sort of knowedge about his possible long term trade partners. This was a port city after all that connected to the rest of the world. If one was looking for anything, if it was sold, you could find it here, or find someoen who can get it for you. Recieving the requested info about the merchants, all three of them, Rex considered for a while, regarding his aproach and plans. Then he asked Aina regarding residence, to whom should he turn and the same regarding tutors for his girls. While Rex was chatting with Aina, solving his questions and concerns, Irina was chatting with the other girls. She knew the two not from her tribe had experience in tribes and she wanted to know, did her mother lie, or were humans just that incredible. A while later they reached the merchants guild and Aina spoke

"Well here we are." gesturing to the big and well decorated building "Time to earn some favors!" she exclaimed, then turning to the group and noticing Rex raised eyebrow, she pouted and continiued "what? You are also profiting from this." Then she gestured to Rex and his group to follow, turned around and entered the building. Rex just shrugged and followed suit, his entourage closely behing him.
