Chapter 5 - Unexpected Paths

Toki and Articius gradually emerged from the depths of slumber, their senses slowly returning to the realm of wakefulness. They found themselves in an opulent bedchamber that was a world away from the scenes of recent battles and turmoil. The room was a testament to extravagance, adorned with sumptuous furnishings, intricate tapestries, and sheer curtains that filtered sunlight in a way that bathed the chamber in an inviting glow.

Outside the chamber's ornate door stood two maids, their attire carefully chosen to suggest their roles as attendants within Lord 2 Raiden's household. While the outfits they wore were not overtly revealing, they hinted at sensuality in a tasteful manner, their designs emphasizing the alluring contours of their figures.
