The dragon's harem

"WAWAWAWAWAWAWA!" The girl cried, "Princess?!"

"Sorry for the interruption," Isdis waved her hand as she left the garderobe immediately with Aella.

"Hey! Why is the entrance in a garderobe?"

"Closer to the sewers, and this is one of the deepest places," Isdis replied as they walked down the hallway, quickly reaching another door. "We're there," She opened the door, and they walked into a massive room with a stage.

"I'm the wielder of the great blade!" A woman shouted, pointing her sword at another woman who turned to run away. And then another cut their way with a shield.

"Cut it! Get past me first! Wielder of the demon blade!"

Eris stared at the woman with a disappointed chuckle, "Is this a theatrical performance? Their acting is so bad,"

The girls stopped acting immediately and looked back, gasping as they Isdis standing there.

"I know it might look sad for assassins," Isdis walked toward one of the women. She looked like a normal knight, nothing special. With one hand, she rubbed her face and revealed a totally different person.

The woman had a different facial structure and skin tone. And she was even a half-elf and not a human. "Wait! What?" Aella gasped.

The women lined up and bowed, "Princess Isdis, welcome to our den," They looked at the door, "How did you get in here?"

"There is a secret entrance at the last garderobe," Isdis replied, "But that doesn't matter now,"

"Wait?! A secret entrance, and you didn't tell us?"contemporary romance

"It's supposed to be a secret," Isdis sighed, "But, we need a disguise good enough that brother won't recognize me,"

"We can do that," One of the women replied with a smile, "But, where is sir Arad?"

"He isn't here," Aella replied, "You know him?"

"Of course, we saw him at the wedding, and he came here once to look at our base and quickly left," She looked down with a sad face.

"He was disappointed the first time he came here. He expected an assassin den and found them to be a bunch of actors," Isdis shook her head, "I did warn him though,"

"We're working on our skills," Another woman gasped, "So, won't we see Arad again?"

"Why are you focusing on Arad?" Aella stared at them.

"Well," One of the women giggled, holding her face with a blush, "He's a sight to behold, isn't he,"

"Stay away from our husband," Aella stared at them. "Get his attention, and he's punch across the continent,"

The woman stopped wiggling for a moment, "That would be a problem," she then kept wiggling with a giggle, "He can strangle me though. With those thick arms!"

Thud! Isdis grabbed the woman by the head, "The disguise, now."

"AH! Okay!" She gasped, and Isdis let her go, "For real," She walked back and found a chair to sit on, inviting Aella to sit at her side.

"They'll get their clothes and makeup ready. We'll move after we make sure no one can recognize us. You know how to keep your magic down, right?" Isdis stared at Aella, and she got a confident nod.

"Of course, I can," Aella turned her magic output to almost zero, looking like a magicless elf girl.

"Elves have some magic at least. Raise the output a bit to be normal," Isdis replied.

An hour later, Isdis and Aella walked out of a large building fully disguised. The two had their hair painted black, and their eye color changed into black and blue respectfully, and wore common clothes.

"Look," Isdis pointed with her head toward a racing wagon heading outside the city, "That's one of brother's armed force healing carts," She said, dragging Aella to hide with her behind a wall, "He probably sent it to get that girl,"

After waiting a quarter-hour, they could see the wagon racing back into the city, "I can feel the girl's magic inside. They are talking her to the church to get healed." Aella said.

"They won't," Isdis looked at her, "Holy magic might expose her contract with a devil. I'm sure she convinced them to take her to the castle instead." Isdis smiled as she saw the wagon turn and take the castle's road. "I'm right,"

The two headed toward the castle after the wagon until they reached the gate. Hiding behind buildings, they looked.

"How do we get past the guards?" Aella asked, "I can climb over the walls, but what about you?"

"We take the guard's private door," Isdis smiled, pulling Aella by the hand toward the side of the castle. "Wait! That's even more guarded."

As the two reached the guard's private door they saw a large man standing there with a helbard, guarding it.

"Who are you? Back up unless you want to die," He growled. "I'm not like the castle's gate guards. I'm allowed to kill anyone who isn't a guard that tries to pass through here,"

Since this was a private door for the guards, that meant anyone else coming here probably wouldn't have good intentions. Otherwise, they'll take the main gate.

Isdis glared at the guard, "Anyone who isn't a guard? Stop joking,"

The guard giggled, "Already got enough hoes inside, don't need any more,"

"Ice snow, frozen ash," She said, and the guard pissed himself. "No way!" He gasped.

"Keep quiet, and you saw nothing," Isdis walked toward the door, pushing him aside and calling Aella, "Come, we don't have much time,"

"Sorry for blocking you," The guard mumbled, "I saw nothing. Go,"

"What did you say to him?"

"That's my princess, and he better behave as he just called me a hoe, and that could end with his execution," Isdis giggled, "Also, bringing prostitutes into the castle is a major security risk, and he admitted that to me. You could say I caught him red-handed in a major felony, and his only way of survival is that he pretends that he never saw us here."

"Would you ignore what he did?" Aella looked at her.

"Of course. As long as he never tells on us coming in disguise, I'll never tell on him." The two walked inside, "Follow me," Isdis rushed across the hallway until they reached the garden. She looked outside, seeing it empty, so they rushed to the other side.

"Where are we now?" Aella asked as they entered a large building. "The maid utility warehouse. Where find mops, buckets, kettles, and such," Isdis started searching the boxes, "We're looking for maid outfits. That woman should be in brother's private quarter,"

"Isdis, here." Aella pointed at a large box, pulling a maid outfit from it. "Good job."

The two quickly walked out of the building disguised as maids.

"You two! I didn't see you before," A maid approached them, "What department are you from?"

"His Highness Prince Thomas's new enrolments," Isdis replied, "We're just starting today,"

"Really? I haven't heard," She shook her head, "But what do I know? I work in his highness prince Charlie's service," The maid smiled, "If you need anything please feel free to ask," she approached Isdis, "Even about direction, this place is easy to get lost into and then get yelled at for being late,"

"Madam Juliana whipped the man into our heads," Isdis shook her head with a sad look, "I know this castle better than my own home,"

"She can be terrifying," The maid giggled, "But you know, getting a few spanks from her is better than getting a royal punishment or losing your job,"

Isdis and Aella walked past the maid, "See you later," They went into the main building and started heading toward Charlie's quarter.

On their way, they saw Gin menacingly staring at them from the end of the hallway. Aella froze, and that silver dragon noticed them.

With a sigh, Gin turned and left, going directly outside the castle.

"Didn't she notice us?" Aella whispered to Isdis.

"She did. This disguise won't fool the eyes of dragons." She scratched her head, "But I'm sure she's misunderstanding the situation."

"Misunderstood what?" Aella asked.

"She probably thinks I'm here to kill brother Charlie for the crown. She and Kin won't interfere in the crown struggle, and that's why she left the building." Isdis sighed.

"We can solve that misunderstanding later. For now, let's hurry and see what happened with that woman and Charlie," Aella looked forward, "His quarter's entrance is over there, right?"

"At the end of the hallway, yes." They walked and reached the quarter's door. Isdis put her ear to the door and listened, "It's clear, let's enter." She opened the door, and they snuck inside.

"We're a new addition to Charlie's maids now. Royal maids barely contact maids from the other royal members as they could leak secrets." Isdis warned Aella.

"I already guessed that," Aella smiled, and they luckily reached Charlie's room without meeting any maids. Strangely, the place seemed awfully quiet and empty.

"Not a single person on the way here," Aella listened, "No, the enter quarter is empty for us, Charlie, and that woman inside."

"That's strange. This place should have at least thirty maids running around."

"Charlie..." They heard a voice from inside the room, and they started listening, with Isdis staring through the keyhole.

"You scared me. What got you outside in that snow? What if you died of cold," Charlie growled, sitting on a chair.

"I'm fine. I'm telling you it was just an accident." The woman stood from the bed, approaching Charlie who sat on his chair, reading some documents.

"What are you reading?" She asked with a smile.

"Demands from some investors and farmers, want to look?" He smiled.

"What about what I talked to you about before?" She sat on the chair beside him.

"That merchant Roberta? I'm sure her mother tried to kill sister Isdis," He stared at the woman, "Even if she's skilled, it'll be hard to convince the nobles to give her a solid spot in the trade,"

"But you can do it? Can't you?" She looked at him, "You saw the jewelry she can provide. Those would be a hit among the nobles. If you managed to get her on your side, you can even get funds to take the crown, can't you?"

"You might be right," Charlie sighed, putting the papers away.

"Then? You'll call her for the spot?" The woman smiled.

"She can help me get the crown," He looked away, "Brother Thomas would likely take it. If not, it's sister Isdis. I'm not going to be the king,"

"Don't lose hope. You're talented. I know you'll make a great king." She tapped his shoulder. "Don't worry about me. Fight for the throne. Take opportunities like this and grow your power,"

"I see," Charlie mumbled.

"You'll give her the spot?"

Charlie slowly turned his head toward her, glaring at her face with a stern face.

"I refuse! You devil-infested bitch!"
