A lady in her late twenties approached the owner.
"Lady Violet, why did you send three girls with that man?" The worker asked, looking at the stairs that led up a floor.
Although she worked in the brothel, she didn't sell her body. Instead, he provided the owner and customers with various concoctions she prepared. Yes, she was an alchemist.
"Willow," The brother owner, Violet exclaimed, turning to face the alchemist, and smiled. "Well, I decided to give the girls a treat. They deal with all kinds of unwashed bastards, so I thought they deserve it."
Willow frowned before she remembered. "That's the guy they were talking about?"
Violet nodded. "Seems to be. Seeing him, I understand why they were reminiscing."
Willow nodded and went straight to business. "So, why did you call me here?"
"Oh, right. I need another batch of drugs, you know the kind, highly hallucinogenic." Violet said before adding. "Actually make a double batch."
Willow was taken by surprise. "Wow, what's that for?"
"There's a lot of bastards visiting, as of late, and I'm not going to force my girls on them."
"As long as I get the money and materials…"
Violet nodded. "You'll get them."
"We meet again, hun."
Alex nodded as he held a glass cup to be filled by a second woman. Looking around the room, he had to admit the designer was talented.
The chamber lacked any excessive flair and the furniture was minimally decorated, but it made up for it with a beautiful violet and night-blue theme, a nice break from the usual red and pink combination.
Other than that, there was an adjacent bathroom and a small dresser filled with various garments ranging from dresses to nightgowns, to underwear.
The purpose of the room was obvious and it didn't try to catch the customer's attention.
"You're looking for information, I hear?" The lady that filled his glass, Vie, asked, placing the bottle of wine mixed with an aphrodisiac or two down on the table.
Alex downed his glass without much thought. With his current body, unless the concentration of aphrodisiac was deadly, it wouldn't affect him much.
"What can you tell me about the Moonmare? When did they settle here, past dealings, any conflicts, etc. Share everything you know."
Vie drank from her own glass before moving to the bed.
"We have a lot of time on our hands. We can share it later."
The other two joined Vie on the bed, leaving Alex the only one standing near the table. There were no other chairs in the room, the reason was obvious.
"So, you don't want to tell me?"
Asked Alex as he took his shirt off. The three ladies began undressing as well before Vie responded. "That depends on your performance."
"Gotta try my hardest to make you talk, huh?"
"You better."
Alex climbed onto the bed and helped the ladies undress. He started off slowly, with kisses and caresses before moving on to another.
The girls already started feeling the aphrodisiac's and alcohol's effect, their cheeks started reddening, and their breathing became more erratic.
Through deep breaths, Vie started sharing what she knew. "The new leaders, as they… call themselves, won our territory around 10 or 8 years ago… and only five years ago were they accepted by the masses.."
Alex removed his lips from Reia's, his breathing a bit calmer though not by much.
"Did they ask you for anything? Certain herbs, precious metals, this kind of things… Guh!"
He started but released an unexpected groan as Sabine, the last of the three women squeezed his crotch harder than he expected.
"They did, actually," Reia answered, sharing another kiss with Alex. "You're pretty good at this. Are we not your first?" She asked, pouting.
The Recen clicked his tongue in annoyance, seeing that the bathroom joke was still brought up.
He internally shook his head. If he truly was a virgin, would he avoid contact with them as he did? Would he be as uncaring as he was? Would he try to wash his nethers by himself?
Suddenly, he stopped his train of thought, realizing that's exactly what someone without experience would do.
As for the uncaring part, while he indeed wasn't that bothered, these women would obviously interpret that as a mere act put on by a newbie to seem bigger than he actually was.
Alex sighed, realizing these women might've actually thought he was a virgin.
"This isn't my first time having sex, no."
"Oh man, and here I was thinking we would be playing with a green-horn."
Vie said, sounding a bit disappointed.
Alex looked confused. "Is that what you wanted?"
Reia, Sabine, and even Vie nodded almost at the same time, but it was Sabine who answered. "We deal with many men who think they got the game figured out, so this would've been a nice change."
"…If that's your kink… I won't judge. Anyway, back to my question…"
Although he intended to change the subject, Vie butted in. "Why don't you act like one, sweety? Maybe if you do, you'll get your answer."
Alex stopped his hands which were hard at work on fondling Sabine's breasts. He broke his kiss with Reia as well and looked at Vie with a blank look. "Hey, I paid for this, and I will get my money's worth of information. You better share everything you know."
Vie smiled coquettishly. "But you don't know how much we know, Alex."
"Oh, that's right." The other two exclaimed as they joined in with the idea.
The Recen stared at them with wide eyes. Even though he paid hard cash for this, these women had him by the balls.
"Un…believable!" Alex almost wanted to go back and ask for a refund but he knew he would get nothing back.
He already drank their wine, he already got these women and the room was already "used". For these reasons, the owner would deny any repayments. Besides, he was now too deep into their fun to stop.
Shaking his head, Alex looked for any ways to escape his predicament, but Vie's next words sealed the deal.
"Your acting skills better be as good as your other talents."
Reia and Sabine joined in, nipping him like a pack of dogs.
***
Alex woke up as he felt someone move in the bed.
"Oh, you're a light sleeper as well?" Sabine asked, realizing she woke Alex up. Normally, she and her colleague would leave after the deal was done, but Violet has given them permission to take as much time as they wanted and could to whatever they wanted with their free time. That is, of course, if Alex could go no further. With the amount of cash he paid them, they would have to keep him company for at least two whole days; at minimum 48 hours.
It had to be reminded that hiring them wasn't all that cheap, but it still wouldn't cost more than the average man's three days' pay. Maybe more if they were high-class, but otherwise that's the price they usually accepted.
If their prices were any higher, they would have little to no customers, meaning they would be unable to buy any food much less clothes or other necessities.
Alex sighed and shook his head. "Sorry. It's part of the training."
Alex removed Reia's hand that was over his neck and chest, before wriggling his own right arm free from under Vie's head.
Looking to see if he woke any of them up, Alex got down from the bed and started looking around the room for his clothes. Pulling his pants on, he looked at the large clock on the wall, before cursing under his breath.
He left his belongings back at Hedda's, the inn he was staying at, and he didn't check in last night.
If he didn't do it today either, the owners could confiscate his belongings, thinking he was dead somewhere.
"Leaving already?" Sabine asked as she was dressing as well.
Alex nodded. "Must check in at the inn."
"At the inn?" She asked.
"Yeah. I'll probably stay in Vizin for another few days before moving on."
Sabine nodded. "It would be nice to have you as a customer again."
Nodding, Alex put on his shirt and left the room. Armed with knowledge about his enemy, he only needed some money before finally leaving the city.
