The masked partygoers were once again becoming restless.
Andrea, the red-headed slave that had provided two hours worth of entertainment in her punishment, had long since been unbound from the table and whisked away to be cleaned and cared for. Without entertainment to distract them, and having already eaten their fill of the decadent treats carried on silver platters by the immaculate slaves, they had begun to fidget in anticipation of the next distraction.
The slaves, all uniquely beautiful women, moved throughout the crowd clad only in knee high boots. They held their platters aloft, offering refreshments and visual stimulus. They served champagne flutes and expertly prepared hors d'ouvres in silence as the egg shaped vibrators each carried tucked inside her sex continued to keep them in a constant state of arousal.
The guests, an equal split of men and women, moved from group to group throughout the room. They conversed in hushed, warm tones and some, entranced by the surrounding display of sexuality, tucked away into corners to kiss and grope one another.
Since Andrea's mishap with the broken glasses and subsequent punishment, there had been no further mistakes and therefore no arousing theater of punishment for the guests. It was time, the Master decided, for a new diversion. He motioned for the blonde at his feet, Allison - his favorite pet, to rise and she did so, eagerly awaiting his command.
"Gather Jun, Nikki, Anika, and Zoka," he said quietly, "and have the recruits set the stage for tonight's entertainment."
Allison nodded and removed herself from the dining hall to perform her tasks.
The house was massive and as decadent as the party. It would not be an understatement to call it a mansion, although the Master had always preferred the sound of chateau. It had formerly served as a boarding school and it's new function as an intimate training school for submissives was not too far from it's original intent. A massive staircase dominated the entry, it's wrought iron railings wrapped around the sides of the upstairs creating a theater like balcony effect around the room.
Directly at the top of the stairs was the Master's library and study. To the left a door led to the master bedroom suite complete with a balcony overlooking the back gardens. To the right another door led to a hallway that contained 6 bedrooms where the submissives in training boarded two to a room, each with its own en suite bathroom. Another room at the end of the hall served as a bunk room for the newest recruits, those girls who had only recently joined the home and had not yet completed their basic training.
The chateau currently housed ten girls in various stages of training and six new recruits. Additionally, there was the staff whose rooms were on the first floor. The cook, the butler, the groundskeeper, and the maid all served primarily as tutors. Most of the actual work was performed by the slaves.
Allison opened the door to the bunk room and found the six new girls splayed about in a chattering fit of gossip about the party below. They all fell quiet as Allison entered the room and each listened with rapt attention as Allison instructed them in their task, excited at the prospect of seeing the party for themselves even if only to set the stage for the entertainment.
Once her message had been conveyed, Allison returned to the party and sought out the four slaves her Master had requested, leaning close to whisper in each of their ears. As each slave received their command they made their way out of the dining hall to prepare.

The six new recruits entered the dining hall in a silent line and began to move about the far end as discretely as possible. Each wore the standard uniform of the house: a school-girlesque outfit consisting of a grey plaid pleated skirt ending at mid thigh, a white, cap-sleeved blouse buttoned to show a flash of cleavage at the top, white knee socks, and polished patent leather Mary Janes with a low wedge heel. The longer haired girls wore their hair pulled back in a ponytail, while the shorter haired girls kept theirs clipped back at the sides. They were allowed only the most minimalistic makeup.
The girls arranged four black chaises at an equal distance from one another and draped luxurious cotton towels over the seats. They placed standing candelabras a safe distance from the seats to illuminate the area. When their work was complete they swiftly left the dining hall, only the final girl in line - a petit brunette with lightly lined hazel eyes and full pouting lips - paused defiantly to glance lingeringly at the room. The Master made a mental note of the infraction from his place in the shadows along the side of the hall.
The hall grew silent as the Master made quick strides to the staged area of the room and the guests moved closer to the source of the impeding entertainment.
"Sirs & Madams, I trust you are enjoying tonight's event." His voice filled the hall as he spoke in a low and confident town, smiling at his guests warmly.
"As is the custom of my parties, tonight I have arranged for a special entertainment for you all. I have chosen four very special slaves, each impeccably trained, to serve as your party favors tonight."
A collective sound of delight escaped the crowd and the Master let it die down before speaking again.
"Each of these slaves has completed her training and is ready to be welcomed into a new home. You may partake of this sampling of their gifts and, at the end of the night, we will hold an auction. As you know, this is a once yearly auction. I expect you'll all be eager to bring home a new companion. Shall I introduce your party favors?"
He clapped his hands together once and the first of his chosen submissives entered the room in a sheer gray robe and moved to stand beside him. Her dark, almond shaped eyes were cast to the ground and her blue-black hair was cut into a short bob with a blunt cut fringe across her forehead. Her knee high boots were gone and she stood barefoot.
