The Legendary Mage (Alavin) novel Chapter 172

"Does that make a difference?"

Lylian gestured to her developing figure. "Isn't the difference obvious?"

"You little brat." The older girls playfully pushed her into a room and closed the door behind them, erupting in giggles.

"Quite a crowd today;. After the competition was over, everyone's here to relax," Balder said with a grin, watching them disappear into the room.

"Hurry, lead the way," Alavin urged, somewhat embarrassed.

"We're nearly there." The guard led them through turns and twists until they reached the so-called VIP area and entered a room filled with steam. Inside was a large pool, lined with smooth stones.

"Fine wine, fine food, bring it quickly," Balder said as he slipped a few gold coins to the guard. "Make sure the ale's good."

"Just a moment, the dishes will be served shortly," the guard replied with a smile before gently closing the door behind him.

Soon enough, the three of them were lounging in their bathrobes, soaking contentedly in the pool while beautiful serving maidens brought them food and drink, setting them around the pool's edge.

The young maidens were vibrant and cheery, clad in thin gowns. Their lithe and tantalizing figures were slightly veiled, adding to the allure.

"My lord, would you require any other services?" one of the fetching maidens asked. Kneeling by the pool, her cheeks flushed, and her voice sounded soft and gentle.

"Hm?" Alavin was startled but caught the implication in the maiden's doe-eyed gaze and became even more flustered. "No, that won't be necessary."

"My lords, do you need any services?" The other two maidens also knelt by the pool, gently pouring fine wine for Cedrick and Balder.

"No need, you may all leave." Balder waved them off quickly, aware that his companions were as romantic as anvils.
