Lyan walked back to the House of Roses, his steps heavy with exhaustion yet buoyed by the recent victory. The battle had been intense, but the camaraderie and strength of his allies had seen them through. He pushed open the door to the House of Roses, expecting to see Josephine, Alina, Belle, Xena, Ravia, or Raine. Instead, a group of beautiful courtesans greeted him.
"Welcome back, Lyan," one of the girls said, her voice sweet and melodic. "The Madam has given us instructions to take care of you."
Lyan raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Where are Josephine and the others?" he asked, looking around.
"They are waiting for you," another girl replied, a playful smile on her lips. "But first, you must let us assist you in taking a bath and tending to your wounds."
Understanding the importance of cleanliness and healing, especially after a fierce battle, Lyan nodded. "Lead the way."
