Chapter 3 - The Future of A High Value Goods

The following day, Fredrick came back with two females beside him. They had the same type of clothes in dark colors. In their hand was a basket that contained several garments. 

"Well, this is Iris," Fredrick introduced, and the two females looked at Iris from top to bottom, studying her body.

"And these are Maria and Marie, twins," Fredrick stated, pointing at the two females. They had the same physical features of chestnut hair and hazel eyes, but the only difference was their breast size; Maria was much bigger than Marie. 

Iris didn't say a word and sulked in the corner. She was still scared of their motives, and being thrown into that place after she escaped her trauma was too much for her. 

"Ah… well, good luck ladies. Make her presentable," Fredrick stated before going out of the room.

Maria and Marie started talking to one another about what they would do to Iris. After a few seconds, they approached her and crouched down.

"Hello, Iris. We are not here to harm you but rather clean you up, and you'll be set free!" Marie exclaimed playfully while Maria rolled her eyes. 

"Alright, you persuade her, and I'll prepare the stuff," Maria stated before checking the prepared bath with cold water. 

Marie didn't reply and focused her attention on Iris. "Come," she whispered, holding her palm open toward Iris but scooted back.

It was hard for Iris to trust them since she couldn't understand what was occurring.

"Look, I know you're anxious after we finish. You can get out of here. I've already told you, you'll be set free," Marie explained intently with a calm voice to soothe Iris, and it worked. 

Iris looked up with sparkles in her eyes. "I'll be… free?" she whispered. Her voice was low and soft like cotton.

"Yes, we won't lie. I promise," Marie put her hand on her chest to show sincerity, which made Maria laugh. 

Iris slowly nodded her head and crawled closer to Marie. She flinched when the chains made a sound.

Marie glanced at Iris's ankle and saw the forming bruises. She sighed and shook her head in disappointment. She took a key from her pocket and unlocked the chains. "Fredrick should learn to be gentle to ladies," she commented. 

"But I like him rough," Maria replied with a laugh of amusement.

"You disgust me," Marie stated and cringed. She helped Iris stand up and observed if she could walk well. 

Iris stepped forward on her injured foot. It was painful, but her body was slowly healing her than ordinary people. She was led to the bathtub, and Marie began stripping her.

"Kyah!" Iris exclaimed in shock and shame. She immediately covered her private parts with her arms. 

"Don't be shy. We all have the same female areas except in size," Maria stated before pushing Iris into the bathtub and pouring cold water on her head. 

Iris froze, and her body started to shake, but after a few seconds, she warmed up. The cold water she was in started to get warm, and the twins were shocked. 

"What the—"Marie exclaimed in fright, but Maria glared at her to keep silent. They didn't want to scare Iris since it would delay their work. They acted normally in silence.

After an hour of bathing and scrubbing all the dirt from Iris's body. They put her into a new set of clothes before presenting her outside the room. 

Iris's eyes widened when she saw the colorful surroundings. Colored lamps hung on the trees, and decorations were plastered against the walls. The room where she came from was the basement of the building. 

On the balcony, Fredrick sat on one of the tables, drinking a beer. His eyes were looking afar as if he was thinking deeply. 

"Fredrick," Maria called with a smirk on her lips. She stood beside Marie and covered Iris with their bodies.

"Ah! That was fast. I thought you'd take longer," Fredrick chuckled and crossed his legs in anticipation. 

"We demanded a bigger share of our efforts!" Marie exclaimed with pride. 

"If that satisfied the customer," Fredrick replied with a shrug. He gestured for the twins to move along as he wanted to see the end product.

The twins moved aside and revealed Iris's appearance. 

Iris wore an icy, blue-colored gown that hugged her figure. She was thin, with almost no meat in her bones, but she had a great bone structure that gave her a good figure. Her snowy, white hair cascaded down her waist in gentle curls. 

Overall, Iris looked presentable as her beauty was improved by what she wore. 

"You look amazing. You passed!" Fredrick exclaimed and clapped his hands together. He was delighted by the result and approved of Iris as his top valued goods. 

"T-thank you…" Iris whispered and shyly covered her arms. She wasn't used to that kind of wardrobe, which made her uncomfortable. 

"Hmm, let her eat something. I will prepare the carriage," Fredrick stated before chugging his beer and leaving immediately. 

Maria and Marie looked at one another since Fredrick acted unusual, but they shrugged it off. They turned to Iris, led her to the table and gave her something to eat.

Iris's eye stared at the glass of beer that Fredrick had left. She was eating good food, but the beer left in the glass didn't stop her from getting enticed. She wanted a taste, and when the twins were not looking, she picked up the glass and drank the remaining liquid. 

"What are you doing!?" Maria exclaimed upon seeing Iris drink the last drop.

"T-thirsty," Iris replied and scratched her throat.

Maria sighed deeply before getting Iris a glass of water. She stared at Iris for a few minutes to see if she had gotten drunk but was acting normally.

"That's only a few drops. She'll be fine," Marie shrugged and ate a rice cake.

Marie glared at her twin and waited for Iris to finish. After a few minutes, they led Iris out of the property where the carriage was waiting. 

"Woah!" Iris's mouth hung open in amazement upon seeing the other women wearing bright attire showing more skin than hers. Their faces were colored in different shades that elevated their beauty. 

"Don't mind those women. You have more value than them," Fredrick smirked. He gestured for the females to move away and not distract Iris. 

Iris tilted her head in confusion since she didn't understand what he meant. She entered the carriage with Fredrick, and he closed the window's blinds, making it dark inside. 

"Ah!" Iris screamed, fearing what would happen, before Fredrick lit a candle for their light source. 

"Don't be scared. I am here. I care for you and your safety," Fredrick stated in a soothing voice and gently smiled at her. 

Iris looked at Fredrick intently and calmed down. His way of words made her trust Fredrick a little without knowing what future she would get herself into.
