The se shown in green fog hovered in the air before Dink. He didn’t pay it any attention. Instead, his focus was on Lady Estra. She was watg the image ily with barely trolled rage seeping through their bond. Dink was about to speak but he was uedly interrupted by someone grabbing his arm.

  “Huh?” Dink asked.

  He turo iigate what ressed against him. It was Riva, she was mashing her breasts against his arm in an exaggerated fashion. The bodice of her dress pulled low to show off her impressive cleavage. Before Dink could react, something pulled at his other arm. Tahlea hugged him tightly with eyes ched closed as if afraid he would run away. Riva let go with one hand to reach over and tug at the buttons of Tahlea’s blouse. She deftly unbuttohe top three to expose a signifit portion of her chest.

  “We hope our husband is satisfied with our results,” Riva seductively said, leaning forward to allow him a better view.

  Dink’s gaze was drawn downward. He gulped back drool at what he saw, causing Riva to smirk in satisfa. The surrounding members of the Women’s odded in silent appreciation of her as. Estra’s eyes narrowed in irritation as she followed her hand movements.

  “Hmmph,” Estra snorted in disapproval with lips firmly pressed together.

  Diantly looked away from their tantalising flesh back to Estra. She subtly smiled in victory, adjusting her bodice to better dispy her own cleavage. Riva sharply hissed, reag up thly turn Dink’s gaze back to her. He spped her hand away in annoyance.

  “Enough. I’m not partial to Halfling women. Regardless of your true age, your faces look like you’ve barely left puberty. Although… your heights are parable to my own. No, not even if you’re both well endowed,” Dink said, attempting to prevent his gaze from drifting back to their tempting breasts, His goblin instincts taking hold. He shook his head while disengaging himself from the pair. After breaking himself free from their grasp, he reached down to retrieve his sword, resheathing it in one fluid motioepped away from the group to face them all. “I don’t know what yoal is, but I’m not looking to be shacked up with a Halfling wife-pair.”

  “Sister-Mother Tavia says you’re our best hope of defeating the expanding woods. She is regarded as the best living analyst on the Women’s cil. We were chosen to be your wives to assist you in that task. Tahlea was selected for her ability in sg magic while I icked for my ability in trag. She’s said to be a prodigy u the Are Academy in geions. My talents are muundane in parison,” Riva replied.

  “We were paired together to plement each other and guide you into the expanding woods,” Tahlea helpfully added. She stood meekly to the side with her hands overpping each other. When Dink looked toward her, she lowered her eyes while shyly blushing.

  “Too bad we don’t need you. We already know where to go,” Estra snapped.

  “Hold on. Don’t the expanding woods shift every night?” Dink interjected, holding up his hand.

  “Uh, yes…” Estra hesitantly answered.

  “We be from their guidance, both of their skills will be extremely useful in finding our destination,” Dink said, thoughtfully gripping his .

  “Then it’s settled! The House of Worldly Delight is no pce for the husband of a Halfling wife-pair. Time for you to be gone from here. Ladies help me form the escort for my new mist son-in-w,” A white-haired halfling woman said from among the Women’s cil.

  Before Dink realised what was happening, he had been surrounded by the group of women. Dink caught only a brief glimpse of Estra and Murkuk off to the side before he was separated. The women formed a tight circle two yers deep, shielding him from view and stopping him from seeiween their heads. With practised efficy, they began marg him toward the door.

  I ’t move my arms, they’re pressed up against my sides by all their bodies. I’ve got no choice but to go with them. Now, I know how helpless Halfling men feel when they’re marched out from here. It would only take two or three times at the most before they learn their lesson. I ’t evehing past their heads. Where are they ushering me?

  The final door to the building swung opeing in a gust of wind. The escort towed him through the exit. Immediately afterwards, the women diseroup behind him. He turo discover they had interlocked their arms together across the entrao prevent him from reentering the House of Worldly Delight. Dink’s ears jerked as he heard a deep belly ugh nearby.

  Axion stepped out of the shadows, a dishevelled woman emerging from behind him. She was dressed in the local oner fashion. After seeing the gathered crowd, she quickly adjusted her skirt before hurrying away. Axion pyfully spped her ass when she passed. She cast a long gnce over her shoulder toward him as she escaped. Her face was pletely flushed while she seductively bit her lip, clearly recalling their quip.

  Dink watched her departure with a cocked eyebrow until she disappeared among the passing foot traffic. Pedestrians pnning oering the House of Worldly Delight ged dires and quickly fled upon seeing the Women’s cil guarding the door. Dink bemusedly shook his head at their behaviour.

  “Sorry to interrupt. It looks like you were having fun,” Dink said.

  “Don’t worry about it. I was just keeping myself busy while you were inside. I’m all ready to go when you are. The sun will be clearing the rooftops any minute now. It’s best to leave now before traffic leaving the city clogs up the roads,” Axion replied with a dramatic cat stretch.

  “Where’s everyone else?” Dink asked. Axion looked past his shoulder toward the building in response.

  “Right here. We had to collect our things,” Estra replied from behind.

  Dink turo see an annoyed Estra with a triumphant Riva at her side. They were at the foot of the stairs while Tahlea and Murkuk stood behind them. Murkuk was indifferent to his surroundings as he shoved a cwed finger deep inside his nose. He pulled out a rge booger which he casually wiped on the clothes of a member of the Woman’s cil. She turo iigate. Seeing the snot on her shirt, her face turned pale as she fainted. Her panions on each side supported her slumped body with their interlocked arms.
