Dragon King's Harem Chapter 112. A Brain on My Plate II

After another short chat, we decided to take an early sleep. We went to the reception desk to pay for our dinner and booked our room. Due to our special request, the owner himself decided to escort us.

As we passed the dim corridor, my eyes swept around me, gazing at the various collections along the corridor. I could say this place was quite fancy, with some interesting paintings and monster head decoration. It was just... the taste was indeed too frightening for the women. Especially since the painting was either about a ghost, monster, undead or graveyard. Likewise, with the monster heads, all of them showed either anger or pain.

Following the owner, Eir and I walked leisurely. While Evelina and Jyne walked in fear behind me. Their hands gripped my shirt and they walked without lifting their heads since they were too scared of all the decorations.

The owner's steps stopped and he opened the nice looking door.
"Here you go, sir. The fanciest and biggest room in our Inn." He gestured to enter politely.

"Thank you, sir," said Eir. We entered a room that was at least half the size of mine. It looked more luxurious compared to the previous inn.

Just like the lobby, the wall was dominated by dark colours. Purple carpet covered the floor. Some monster head decorations hung on the wall. A sofa set with a coffee table was in the middle of the room, complete with a tea set.

Since this was a family room, one big bed was on one side. While one smaller bed was across from it. Another door was near the smaller bed. I bet it was headed for the bathroom. The room was quite simple without losing the luxury atmosphere.

"There is a rope on the side of the bed. You can use it to call the servant. We will serve you for 24 hours." The owner pointed to the bathroom with his hand.
"Our bathroom also provides warm water. Please enjoy your stay." He closed his explanation with a smile before he left.

I walked over to the biggest bed and sat, just to feel the mattress. Although it was not as big as my bed it was enough for two or more people. A large blanket made of monster fur complete with its head was on it.
"Not bad," I said. It was nice and warm, far much better than our beds for the past few days. Just like what a dragon liked.

On the other hand, excitedly, Eir put our bags on the table and checked the bathroom.
"Oh, it's not bad either. They also have a bathtub and some fire stones," he announced.

"Nice." With this, I was sure we could prepare ourselves as best we can for tomorrow. But our excitement was in contrast to Evelina and Jyne, they were silent in the middle of the room and stared around in horror. Well, even if this was a fancy room, some of the decorations would scare them or give them nightmares.

"Evelina, Jyne. Don't be afraid, it's just decoration. Besides, you will sleep with me," I said.

"Yes... Argod is with us. We shouldn't be afraid of that," Evelina encouraged Jyne. Or maybe, those words were for herself.

Unfortunately, their minds said different things as their eyes shifted from one scary decoration to another. Also, the state of the room was similar to a funeral parlour rather than an inn luxurious room. Even though there was nothing there, the atmosphere made them think that something scary would appear there later. Although they didn't want to be frightened like this, without the fearless abilities of a dragon tribe, they couldn't shake off their fear that easily.

"Would you like to take a shower first? I'm sure that will take your fears away." Eir gave an idea. "There's no scary decorations in the bathroom. So it should be fine."

The idea was welcomed by the women.
"That's a good idea," said Jyne excitedly. At least warm water could relax their tired bodies and make them sleep better.

"Yes, let's check out the bathroom," added Evelina. They excitedly walked there.

I thought things would get better, but I was wrong.
"Kyaahhh!" Evelina and Jyne screamed at the same time just as they had just seen the bathroom.

"What is it?" I approached them in a hurry. I knew judging from Eir's reaction, it wasn't something dangerous. Still, I was curious about what happened.

The women point to what scared them. It was the bathtub. It was made of black stone with monster bones around it as decoration. Two monster skulls that shaped like a huge snake at both ends. As for the room itself, it was designed as if it were in a haunted cave. Two strange plants in pots were near the bathtub and the door. It was shaped like a pair of hands sticking out of the ground. They were covered in black scales and the fingers occasionally twitched as if they were tickling someone.

"You can shower with me if you want," I offered. Although it was kinda scary, the facilities were complete. Some towels, the water crystal, the small fire crystal and some herbs on the small table.

The women shook their heads from side to side.
"I don't think I'd be interested in going in there," said Jyne. Although she wanted to see Argod's body and serve him, her fear dispelled any desire for it.

"I agree. Who knows what might appear in the water," Evelina added. Her brain kept playing with her about the worst possible scenario. She had fought death element monsters before and never liked their form even though it was her speciality.

Although a little disappointed, I bet the creepy atmosphere killed their sex desire. It made me wonder why some horror movie characters like to have sex at times like this.

"Just go straight to the bed then. I'll accompany you after the shower," I said. I couldn't say no to warm water.

They nodded and went to bed. Unfortunately, just as I closed the door, their screams came again.
'Ah, I forgot to mention the monster's head is still attached to the blanket.'

Finally, I opened the door again.
"Is everything okay?" I made sure.

"Yes. We were just a little shocked," said Jyne in a stammering voice. While Evelina's gaze was on the elk's head which was connected to the blanket.

"Great. Just keep your voice down, okay?" I said. Their shouting could annoy other guests or invite trouble. And I didn't want that.

"Yes, sir." After that answer, I closed the door.
