There was a wooden door with an iron handle which smelled like trees. I placed my hand on it and brought my ear closer.

It's clear, I guess.

I pushed it with my hand and the door opened slightly creaking. I held my breath and pulled myself together - if anyone's there he or she could hear me, and I had to be ready.

I peeked inside and saw, that I was in a tiny room. There was another door at the end of the room. It seems like I've dodged the bullet.

I entered the room and closed the door behind me. My bare feet let me move silently; the floorboards were made of high-quality wood and didn't squeak at all.

Supposedly, it was a study, where they received the visitors.

The desktop filled with piles of paper in front of me proved my assumption. A cup of some unfinished black drink was on it.

On top of that, you could see some usual documents: letters, reports, and personal notes.

Looking at them, I slowly realized that I could read every piece of paper that was lying there. There is no doubt I have never seen the language like this one before.

''About Compensation'', ''The Wars of Outer Fringes'', and ''The Path and Becoming of Ga Pao'' were the titles of the three books on the table. I read the titles and it occured to me that I could roughly understand the meaning of the words.

I wasn't interested in papers and other peoples' penpalling, but I decided to check the drawers nevertheless. I was hoping to find there some money or jewelry, since I knew that one can't live without money in the society. I couldn't care less that I was a thief in this situation, because I was stealing from people who bought me as a slave.

The only open drawer contained a locked casket I couldn't unlock. Well, I hope It has some jewelry or something valuable inside. I could sell the casket itself as a last resort, since it was decorated expensively.

The last thing I had to check was the room behind the second door. I was hoping to see there a private bedroom, so I could borrow some clothes.

It took me a few steps towards the door to hear some noise. I was hearing voices from the other side of a door. I could hardly understand what they were saying from where I stood, so I had to move closer.

"Merly, when are we leaving this town?"

I recognised the voice. It was the voice of the girl from the auction. She struck me with her strictness and piercing coldness in her eyes.

Except this time the shades of her voice sounded softer and slightly tender.

"Not before the Great Games end and not until we negotiate. Darling, you do know how important the alliance with Syu Sey Empire is for us now..."

That was her! It was the blonde, who bought me for sixty golden coins!

I clenched my fists. I came to the beast lair, trying to escape from it.

"The granddaughter of the Ambassador of Will of Fubei State is here, in this town. I know that you're worried because of our wedding, but there is no other way."

"Why would you think that I even care about her? It was ten years since we..."

"Stop it! I've known you for decades... just stop. I was onto your cold manner long ago. Just because we are not seeing each other for years doesn't mean that I have a short memory."

"It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just strange. You are so open and easy-going in public, but when it comes to me... you're being so rational and serious. I am starting to think that you are keeping the distance from me in such way..."

"Hey, you are the only person I could be like this with... This society of high-level sl... snakes would have eaten me long ago if I hadn't been wearing the mask of a naive fool."

She said with such a tone that even without seeing her face I could tell she was smiling.

What a shame, I was overhearing the conversation of two engaged lesbian girls. Now, I finaly understood what they meant by ''together'', that refered to me.

"Hey, aren't you tired of all those boys? You're dealing with them with no efforts. Come to me."

I heard the voice of the blonde.

Then, it became quiet in the room for a moment.

"Aah..."

The moan broke the silence.

I needed clothes. Having realized that it was unlikely that two girls had it, I nevertheless decided to take my chances due to them saying something about the boys. Now, when they are busy with each other, I was about to take the risk.

I looked around the room behind me for one last time. It was illuminated by the window. At the very least, I have my way for a retreat.

I came here with dignity, although unconscious, and I'm not going to leave without it! I will not be a slave!

I sighed three times and pushed the door as lightly as I could just to check the surroundings of the room. It seemed wide and, fortunately, penumbral. The red rays of sunset were filtering through the thick curtains, thus making an intimate air inside.

A king size bed was standing in the centre of a room. Two silhouettes in bright red light could be seen on top of it.

"What do you want?"

A strict voice resounded from the bed.

My heart skipped a beat. Have I just been noticed?

"To feel you..."

And it started beating again. The question wasn't adressed to me. I exhaled and kept watching.

The girls were lying on a bed, kissing and embracing each other with their bodies intertwined. They were breathing in and out so greedily and so rarely, that one could think that they were inhaling not the air but each other.

That was it — my chance. While they are busy with each other.

I saw the clothes scattered all around the foot of the bed, although I knew that it was women's clothes, I also knew that I wasn't going to find any other clothes in this mansion. I just have to take it and leave.

Having put my thoughts in order I made my mind. I crouched and opened the door in order to went into it trying not to listen to pampering and moans of the girls. I moved towards them sneaking.

It smelled like women in the air. Two moaning women. I involuntarily started to feel aroused.

I must have looked like a maniac crawling up to the two unsuspecting girls. It's not like that. I am the victim here.

I was the one they captivated. I was the one sold into the slavery, and right now I am going to break free.

Do I feel something towards these two? No. We just met by an accident and now we will part ways. Absurdity, isn't it?

Did I rape the servant? She asked for it! She wouldn't be wet as a bitch otherwise.

Goddamn, I have so many questions and so few answers.

A plenty of thoughts run through my head while I was crossing the room. Time went by so slowly. If I get caught, they will trigger the alarm. There will be no salvation for me, and I will be sent to prison... O-o-or killed. I am going to make it. Just a couple more steps.

I leaned my back to the bed, sneaking along its bottom towards scattered clothing.

I hear growing voluptuous sighs and moans of pleasure from above.

Then, suddenly...

"Stop... Aah... w-wait for it... I'll be back..."

The voice of Ann resounded.

I quieted down.

Some motion started from above, and one of them jumped off the opposite side of the bed. Having heard the sound of quick steps, I cautiously looked from the corner of bed.

A beautiful silhouette of a black-haired girl was moving in the direction of a wardrobe. Thin legs, slim waist and wide hips. She had a model figure.

When Ann opened the wardrobe I vaguely saw some strange items. She took a few of them and wore something that looked like leather G-strings and turned back.

"Hey Merly, how long it's been since we got naughty last time?"

A dick of unclear material protruded from her crotch, she was going back to the bed.

I quietly reached to a pair of leather pants lying close to me.

When I put it on my first leg — the lovers were already playing with all their might — somebody knocked the door, from which I had come from. The girls didn't hear it or didn't react, but the one who knocked was becoming more and more persistent.

The whole room quited down as if girls weren't even there.

"Merly... Merly... Don't bother... I heard Ann's whispering."

Also I heard blood running in my veins and heart beating in my chest. The latter wanted to come out.

A dozen of strong knocks almost made it jump below those well-made floorboards.

I heard a sound from the bed as if somebody was rinsing a cup with two fingers. I got curious...

Well, it seems like I got distracted.

I put on the pants only half way through, and having enjoyed the sound of steps walking away, I put on the other trouser-leg.

Tight, slim, but tolerable. Also not that far from me I saw the boots obviously smaller than my size and a leather jacket.

It's time to get out of here.
