Once everything was said and done, I was taken out of the room by Dierphy, who then led me back down the hall and out the door. Once outside Dierphy led me down the road to another piece of town.
“Where are we headed?” I asked Dierphy since my curiosity was getting the better of me.
“We are headed towards the brothel I run. You will then become my plaything until I decide otherwise!” Dierphy turned around and licked her lips while saying this to me. While it is an attractive offer in most cases, I don’t want to think about what she would do to me.
“Just kidding, no need to look so scared! Am I really that ugly?” Dierphy said this while dejectedly holding her head down.
“No not at all! Rather you are quite attractive, however, I don’t believe I would be a suitable partner for you.” Flustered I voiced my thoughts while Dierphy in turn laughed loudly.
“I can’t believe how naive you are! Did you really think I would make you into my plaything, or worry about my appearance? Geez, and harpies were thought to be bird brains.”
Grumbling to myself for the rest of the way, we arrived in front of a tall building with a sign overtop the entrance saying ‘The Dancing Whores’, a rather subtle and elegant name. The building also had two windows to the sides of the doors with beautiful women dancing. At the moment there was a human woman who seemed to be in her twenties, and a lamia who was slithering around a pole inside the windows.
Once inside there was a reception desk and behind her there were women seated on couches and benches with signs in front of them saying their price in silver. Around the room I could count four tall men wearing swords on their belts and having the symbol of the dancing daggers as a patch on their shoulders.
“Hello Madam Dierphy, might I ask whom the gentleman behind you is?” The dwarven receptionist greeted Dierphy and then proceeded to glare daggers into my skull.
“This is Greed, he is a new member to the Dancing Daggers and will be working here to start!” Dierphy, completely oblivious to the look I was getting, said this with a broad smile on her face.
“It is a pleasure to be working with you Ms..?” I tried to introduce myself to the receptionist as her gaze softened after hearing that I was to be working with her.
“My name is Khalil, I look forward to working with you as well.” Khalil then proceeded to then leave her desk and present some documents to Dierphy. Dierphy quickly glanced over them and then motioned for me to follow her upstairs.
Once at the top we entered a large office that was guarded from the outside by men looking similar to those seen downstairs.
“Well then Greed, allow me to tell you what you will be doing here. Your job here will have three main things." Dierphy said this while sitting down onto a chair and looking at tthe documents she was handed.
"First off, you must ensure that the girls are healthy, both mentally and physically. Basically you will be their caretaker. Next, you will go out to recruit girls to join our brothel. How you do this I care not, just ensure that they won’t be dangerous to the customers or us. Lastly you will be doing training as a guard here. You will receive training regularly to prepare you before you are fully integrated into the system. Any questions?”
“Two questions actually. First, how many girls will I be in charge of, and second, my realm will require me at times to return so I may vanish for periods.” Expressing my concerns to Dierphy she sat down for a moment to think before turning to me once more.
“You will be in charge of just four girls to start, and in the case of returning to your realm, see if you can notify us in advance so we can schedule around it. Does that sound good?”

“Yes madam, it does. Thankyou.” Once those words came out of my mouth a window popped up in front of me notifying me of a job change.

“You better, otherwise you will be working in a more, physical position.” Putting emphasis on the work physical had the effect of sending a chill down the entirety of my spine.
“You will meet the girls you will be handling in a little while, and your first training lesson will start tomorrow, until then, relax in here.” Dierphy continued on while outlining my schedule.
“Understood madam.”
And with that, I became Greed, the handler.

Another chapter done! I looked back at some of the chapters I had posted before and realised that the formatting was going wonky for some reason and have now fixed it. Also, I changed the font, font size, and colour so tell me if it looks better. Just like before, post any suggestions or mistakes below. Thanks!
