Author's Note: Since I am halfway through Elfin Descent, I decided to write another chapter of Tales of the Soiled Dove. It is likely to be the last one for a while, though I will continue to right short stand alone stories. They will most likely be set while Jeanette is Queen, and the depredations she gets up to in the castle.
The next chapter of Elfin Descent should be posted next week as per the schedule.
*****
It took two weeks after the events at the Duke's party for Jeanette to bring herself to the Soiled Dove again. It was not so much that she needed to recover from all the fucking, though she had to admit her stomach was upset for a few days after guzzling all that semen during the cum drinking contest, but rather she just found herself too close to too many people she knew in her real life. It didn't help that after returning to the castle she kept running into Sir Jeremy and Count Driscoll, her father's friends who had fucked her at the party, or that every time she took a bath she wondered if the young squire Stefan was peeping on her. Not that the worry stopped her from playing with herself in the bath; she did have needs after all.
Finally though she got to the point where touching herself in the bath wasn't enough to satisfy her needs, so she found herself back in the brothel that started her sexual adventures. It was busy tonight, and she could tell that she was going to have her hands full. She made her way towards the Madame and pulled the hood of her cloak off her head.
"Jeanette! There you are girl! I've been wondering when you'd be back. You did such a great job at the Duke's party that we've had requests coming in for you every night!" The Madame gave her a forced frown. "If you want to work here you need to be more consistent. I need to know what to tell the customers about your availability!"
Jeanette's heart raced. She knew she was one of the more popular girls at the brothel, but had there really been so many requests? "Apologies, Madame. I had to go out of the city with my Mistress. I would have been here if I could, truly." She doubted the Madame believed the lie she first told when coming to the brothel, but it was the lie they needed to make this work.
"Well, I suppose that's unavoidable then." The Madame smirked. "Can't leave your Mistress uncared for; she might not let you come back. Anyway, I'm glad you're here."
"I can see why, the Dove is packed to the rafters tonight!"
"Yes, but that's not why. I've got a very important client for you tonight. He's had servants here every night looking for you, and the price offered just keeps going up and up. I need you to do an outcall tonight and go to the client's home. Apparently he's too ill to come in himself."
An outcall? Jeanette hated those; she never knew where she would end up. What if it was in one of the neighborhoods where people knew who she was? Still, the risk of discovery was part of what made the game so fun, and if she wasn't caught at the Duke's party surrounded by her peers, what were the odds that she'd be caught on a random call? "Alright, is a servant here tonight to take me?"
"Of course!" The Madame laughed. "Though I don't think he'll be too pleased that you actually showed up. He's been enjoying waiting here with the girls every night for you to appear!"
Based on the servant's livery, Jeanette could tell that he likely worked for a merchant with one of the Guilds. Frivith, the Master of the Smiths was at the Duke's party. Was that her client? The servant was taciturn as he led her through the city. Apparently he was disappointed that he wasn't getting another night to lounge around the brothel. Jeanette didn't mind though; she was too busy thinking about her client.
The servant led her to the Guild Hall, but rather than going through the front gate as she was accustomed to, the servant led her to the public entrance to the sculpture garden. I suppose that makes sense, she thought, I'm not here as a Princess, I'm here as a whore. He'd want to sneak me in the back.
The indoor sculpture garden was one of the more popular places in Ruar. Originally it was an empty hall, but a generation or two ago the Council of Guilds was fed up with nobles being late or not paying for their commissioned work at all. They took in several orders costing hundreds of thousands of gold marks and then refused to do the work or return them. The nobles were furious of course, and there was a real worry about blood flowing in the streets.
In the end, the King ordered the Council to return the money, but in exchange the nobles had to return all the statuary they couldn't pay for. In the future, all payments had to be made up front and the Crown would enforce any contracts that the nobles tried to renege on. It was a defining moment in the city, and largely responsible for why the Council had so much power today.
The repossessed statues were put in the hall, and it was opened to the public, much to the chagrin of the nobles who believed that the commoners wouldn't appreciate the beauty. That was and wasn't true; many certainly seemed to appreciate the beauty, as the nude statues often inspired erotic couplings in the darker corners of the garden.
The couplings had become so frequent that the sounds of grunting and groaning had become attributed to ghosts in the lore of the building. Jeanette smirked to herself as she reached the back end and entered the hall proper. And tonight she was going to be adding to the legend.
Master Frivith was waiting for her in his private studio. He stood up, and grinned toothily as he hobbled over to her. "So he found you at last! I'm so pleased, I've been looking forward to this every moment since the Duke's party." Frivith hobbled over to Jeanette and boldly reached out, fondling her breast with one hand and her ass with the other.
"Thank you, Master Frivith. It's flattering to be so desired." Jeanette smiled as she stroked through the man's long grey beard and pushed her hips forward so that her thighs rubbed against his body. "How may I be of service to you tonight? Forgive me for being so bold, but last time you intimated that you were not able to perform."
The Master Smith chuckled, and then broke into a cough. A servant quickly brought over a goblet of wine, which he drank down and then dismissed the servant. "That's true. I have a different sort of proposition for you." Frivith brought his hand up from Jeanette's ass and fondled both breasts, before untying the serving dress and freeing both those magnificent globes. "I was so inspired by your body that I decided I had to make a statue of it. I want you to pose for me, girl. I can make you into my greatest creation!"
