After I left, Eden. I hurried to the last place on my list where I can get that much needed massage. Today is so stressful. I was walking around all day and watched shows one after the other and I also had to make sure I am not being followed by anyone. The na of the place where I will go to next and where the famous masseur works is "Frith".
I looked into the map and went straight to "Frith" to try their popular massage service. I did a quick tweak of my appearance to sowhat look simply dressed but still with my real face and a dark mask this ti covering anything below my eyes.
I approached the counter and asked who was the most popular masseur and if he is currently occupied. The jolly receptionist readily provided information that they have 2 amazing masseurs of equal popularity. The other one is occupied and that one has a cheaper fee while the more expensive one is rarely booked since his services are quite expensive but both are really amazing at the job. I simply asked how much and how long is one session. He then said it is good for one and a half hour and the fee was two silvers. I looked at the receptionist trying to sound out if he is trying to scam but it doesn't look that way. I asked my last question and I said, "What is so different about him that his services are worth two silvers for an hour and a half?" He simply smiled and said that I have to try a session for to know.
Since this world is kind of backwards in terms of culture and laws, n and won are not supposed to touch each other unless they are from the sa household (related by blood or marriage). The only professions that disregard this rule are doctors, priests, soldiers and masseurs. This is the reason why I thought this profession was an interesting choice.
I went directly to the private room that the receptionist told about. It was the second room on the right side of the hall. When I entered the room, there are candles that are lit up and it slls of a very faint but relaxing scent similar to lavender.
After booking the service, I suddenly realized that this is quite risky for given that I always have an illusion spell active on my body. This massage will weaken the barrier since there will be skin to skin contact involved. Well, here goes nothing! I am tired and I want to relax through the help of a hot guy. What's wrong with that?
Once I am inside the room, I removed all of my clothes and took a quick shower. After drying myself up, I laid on the bed, chest-first on the provided bed in that room. I only have a towel covering my butt right now. I did not dare to remove my face mask though to at least conceal what my face looked like. I am confident with the body given to in this life so I'm fine with baring it all. I touched an orb on the bed side table that signifies that the masseur can now enter the room and start the massage.
After a few minutes, I heard the door slowly open. Soone entered with light footsteps and what ca with it is an enticing scent which is a mix of vanilla and honey with a hint of chocolate. He slls like the desserts I miss so much.
Next thing I heard were the friction of clothes being removed which confused . I slowly sat up and covered myself with a towel then looked back at him. When I first saw his face, I was stunned. He's another masterpiece. He has shoulder-length silver hair with so tinge of purple. His eyes were a beautiful shade of dark purple as well. He has thick eyebrows that are kept tidy and arched. His nose bridge is quite high but it just accentuates how good he looks. He has thin and pink lips. His skin is on the tan side. He doesn't look like a soft and weak man at all. He is actually quite buff for soone who works in the entertainnt district. Overall, he's model-like gorgeous. I definitely feel like he's familar to though.
It took so ti for to get back to what I am about to ask. His face is definitely a trap! Once I got my gears back, I then asked, "Is removing your clothes part of your preparation for the massage? May I have your na please?" He looked at with vacant dark purple eyes like I was looking into the vast galaxies. I noticed his eyes were unfocused and he isn't looking at . He's blind?
After a few seconds of silence, he answered, "My na is Aurum. It is uncomfortable to do my work if I do not remove my outer robe." I then answered teasingly, "I don't know if you realize how thin, no, how sheer your undergarnts are. I can see almost everything except your privates. Aren't you scared of suddenly attacking you since you look nice to eat?" He scoffed then replied, "I have the skills to protect myself. You can do everything you want with if you can afford it. I'm very expensive." I kept silent and simply sent my pheromones into his body. He can't see so instant resonance won't be possible which is good for . I thought that Ioannis will be the highest I could find but I'm so wrong. The problem is he's a 97 without my additional percentage and now I rember that he maybe one of those nobles or royals I saw on the books I've read in the acade library.
When my pheromones hit him, his eyebrows furrowed and he gasped in surprise. He even had to support himself by putting a hand on the wall. He then asked , "Did you just use your mana to attack ? No, its not attack but a probe. That's not mana. What is it?" I then scoffed in revenge and said, "Just start the massage and let's not speak to each other during the session. I want to go ho and rest soon."
I laid chest first on the bed again, placed the towel on my back and ignored him. He carefully approached the massage bed and poured so of the fragrant oil on his hands before he started. When his hands touched my lower back I felt him turn stiff and he suddenly took back his hands. It took a couple of minutes before he touched my back again. I can feel his hands shaking and his breathing becoming heavy too. The resonance must be doing its work. Should I tease him a bit? Maybe not.
He is definitely a professional. He was able to complete an amazing massage session even if he was quite distracted due to the resonance. He really removed all the stress and aches I have from walking around the city all day and having to go from one show to the other then escape. I guess it is not so bad to get his services again in the future. I also enjoyed teasing him during the session by making soft moans when he touches the aching part of my body. I can feel him freeze a bit and shake more for a few seconds whenever I do so which makes it so fun. Should I make him my exclusive masseur? Nope. Too risky. Nope.
Once were done, I simply sat up and quickly put my clothes back on. I gave him a business-like response, "Thanks. You did a great job. I'll co back again if I have the ti." I started walking out towards the exit in big strides when he suddenly asked, "May I have your na and the family you are affiliated with?" I smiled though he couldn't see it and said, "No." I walked out in quick footsteps afterwards.
Once I was out of the door, I almost ran to the counter to pay. I went out of Frith and tweaked how I look again. That guy is trouble and I clearly felt there was another person nearby. It must be soone keeping Aurum safe. I just rembered where I saw him! His portrait is indeed in one of the books I have read. He was the previous crown prince a few years back before the accident that resulted to him becoming blind. He's the 8th prince of this empire and was a fad general at that. No wonder his body is buffed and he said he can protect himself well. But what is a prince like him doing here?

Aurum's POV
I was quite shocked that soone will actually pay for a massage session for 2 silver coins when you can get a normal one for 600 copper coins. I don't know if that person is stupid or she researched that the service is expensive because the masseur is a prince. The latter is impossible though so she must be stupid and have nothing to do with her money.
I went up to the designated room for the service and started removing my robe since it was heavy and it would make my job harder. I then felt a blanket-like warmth envelope my body then my legs almost gave way. I had to hold on to the wall to keep my balance. Then, I suddenly noticed the scent she was emitting. It was a delicious scent that was sweet like honey and it really made thirsty too. I have to be profession so I decided to push through with the massage. As I touched her back, I stiffened as I felt that her body was smooth and warm to the touch. I then saw so scenes in my mind which are quite lewd and I couldn't help but blush. I took a few steps back and had to do a quick ti out and remove my hands from her back. Are those visions of the future or I am just imagining it? I have to control my breathing and body temperature or I might scare her. Why do I feel like a kid seeing their crush pass by? Don't tell this is resonance? I have lost hope finding the one. I have waited for this for more than 8 years since I ca of age and here I am only to be hit unexpectedly like this.
I asked for her na but she refused to give it. After she left, I called for one of my shadow guards to follow her and get as much information as possible. Does she think I will let her get away? I'm going to stick with her for life whether she likes it or not.
******** ******** ********
Unbeknownst to the at that ti, whether I accepted them or not, since I used my pheromones to check those 5 guys out, I have connected them to myself sohow. That night, 5 guys with their own ways and resources were looking for the sa woman. Their desperation to find her is what will cause their resonances with her to increase gradually. It will be quite hard to find soone who doesn't want to be found though. As to when and how they will find and if I will take them in will be a story for a later ti.
