In a few minutes, Haley fetched a set of folded black and white clothes, very similar to her own uniform. The outfit lacked underwear of any kind, probably for the merit of their owner, and the overall design was to emphasize bust, the generously endowed Haley almost spilling free from her apron, as well as leaving the legs visible from a short skirt and apron. It wasn't anything a warrior would ever wear clearly, more like a lewd costume courtesans might don for entertaining their guests.<br/><br/>"Don't tell anyone I said this, but most of it is for show." her new guide started explaining. "Sure, the Master demands some things and he has rules, but it's not all that bad. We're still master and servant, but it's not as bad as it looks. Most of it is just appearances to impress or intimidate others. You'll see for yourself, and because of that, we best go over the most basic rules you're expected to follow."<br/><br/>And so she started explaining how they were supposed to behave around others. Casual was fine with other staff, timid, respectful and formal around strangers and Gandrav. They were to work and move unseen and naturally, not to draw attention, not speak to guests unless addressed and avoid staring or looking at them much. Haley also stressed the importance of being able to read people and the mood in their line of work to function properly. Properly assessing a situation and doing what was expected of them was always preferable to someone actually having to tell them. Gandrav would occasionally want sex and sexual favors, sometimes showing off his authority against others, but according to the maid he was good enough she didn't mind the lovemaking, adding with a wink that she usually enjoyed such encounters more than he did. No matter how often or intensely they shared a bed, none of the maids got pregnant throughout the years, so Haley suspected there was some sort of contraceptive or other kind of birth control at work, the nobleman making sure not to leave bastards left and right. The staff would eat and lodge separately, but in the same building unless invited otherwise, and they were free to leave the grounds and stay in the neighborhood when they had free time. She didn't say nor imply it, but Evelyn got a sense that if anyone ran away and Gandrav wanted to find them, he could easily do so in the city.<br/><br/>"There, it looks good on you!" the redhead smiled when the paladin finished dressing and the last ribbon of the uniform was in place. "Whatever stuff you brought should be already packed up. It will be held for you, until you repay your debt then returned to you, regardless of wether you decide to stay or leave."<br/><br/>Haley started to put the bathroom in order after them, draining the bath and placing used towels in a basket, moving it over to a specific location where someone would take it from to have it cleaned and dried after they left. She tidied up her own uniform, making sure there were no visible wrinkles on it and adjusted the bust, her full breasts shifting slightly under.<br/>"Better make sure we look good. The others will take care of the rest here, we best start moving. Master Gandrav should have already taken a carriage back to his manor, and we'll be expected to join soon. That's also where you'll be working for a while, lucky if you ask me. Even if it's his estate, I'd rather no stay out at the docks district."<br/><br/>Just like she said, a pair of plain carriages were waiting outside the docks estate with several staff members getting on. Evelyn didn't recognize any of them, but she did spot a few chests being moved on the vehicles. At the urging of Haley, she had no choice but to get on the second carriage with the redhead and two other maids, blondes both of them.<br/>Once they began moving, they only stopped briefly at the city gate where the guard let them pass as soon as the driver handed over the necessary papers. The city gates closed behind them, and so the paladin get into Wihleah though the task proved to be more of a challenge and ordeal than she could have hoped. As the carriage rocked on the cobblestone road of the elegant city, she could only wonder what awaited her in the next weeks.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Chapter 1 End</div><div class="spoiler_body">The episode of getting into Wihleah is done now. <br/>As Evelyn didn't defeat the challenge of the tournament and got in by abandoning her magic weapon, she doesn't not advance a level. Available plot points to influence the story are reset to 1, and the next episode will pick up once she arrives at her destination. Now that she got into the city proper, her goal should be to reclaim the Sunmaiden's Kiss and obtain the Embrace of the Lightmother somewhere in Wihleah. How she does that or figures that out is all up to her.</div></div>
