So fresh in the morning he brought the duke a tray with his breakfast, duke was already up and dressed, he was busy with documents and he ignored Joel totally. So Joel put the tray on the table, excused himself and left. It was till late afternoon that the duke left his private rooms and Joel’s assistance wasn’t required anymore. As a personal servant he got his own room, small with bed, chair, table with a jug of water and a bowl and a chest standing next to the bed. Joel was more than happy. Finally changing clothes stopped being a burden. After the dinner was served in an awkward silence Joel was free. He changed clothes into the male outfit and sneaked out of his room to go to talk with Gerd.

The guides’ hall was quite busy, Gerd was there talking to two other men.

“Hi Gerd.” Joel greeted him

“Joel, nice to see you man!” Gerd stood up and fetched a mug of beer for Joel. “I met your sister the other day. You sure look very alike.”

“Yeah, I know.” Joel tasted some beer, it was not bad.”How about Francine? Did you have a chance talking to her?” Joel went straight to the point.

“Yes, I’ve met her. Man I don’t get your tastes but I will help you as you wanted. We talked I was all nice and she definitely has a crush on me. Sorry”

“No need to apologize, I know it. She will have a change of heart when you dump her. I’m sure of it.” They drank the beer in silence.

“Joel, hmm I have a question about your sister.”

“Yeah, what’s up?”

“Does she knows about this plan?”

“Yes she does, she’s my sister and she will help you if you want.” Joel said with full confidence.

“Good, because I wouldn’t like her to think that Francine and I are a real item and that I treat girls like trash, you know.” Gerd was kind of nervous.

“No problem, I’ll explain it to her one more time.” Joel made another sip of beer when the thought hit him.

“Do you by any chance like my sister or something?”

“Well, she’s a beauty and she’s nice too.” The tips of Gerd’s ears were red.

Joel wanted to say that Joy was engaged but than Gerd might not be so eager to help him.

“Well, as soon as you done with Francine you are free to start courting my sister, you never know.” Joel smiled cunningly knowing that by the time he will be with Francine on his way back to her home and the chest full of money and he will be wearing pants. They talked a bit about this and that Joel drank one more beer and in high spirits he was about to leave the guard’s house when Gerd offered to show him off as he needed some fresh air. They walked slowly when Gerd suddenly stopped and looking serious announced to Joel that he will help him out for free if he says a good word about Gerd to his sister.

“Sure man, I’ll do that.” Joel patted his shoulder and Gerd in sudden display of lightly drunken affection gave him a hug. They parted and Joel slowly strolled back to his single room. The night was warm and he could see the stars on the pitch black sky and the moon, well a thin piece of it. He felt better his plan was in progress and with a bit of luck all this will be over. Joel saw himself with the chest of money and smiled widely. For a moment he stopped he heard some steps behind him but as he turned there was nobody in sight. He walked again listening attentively if someone was following him, but there was silence. In his high spirits he sneaked back to his room. One thing he had to give the duke his credits was this single room. It was small but he had his privacy. Joel lit a candle and took off his clothes hiding them at the bottom of his chest. But naked he decided to rub ones off. It was so long since he done something like this. Joel laid himself back and started stroking his dick lazily thinking about his previous love affairs and finally about the red haired Sofia. His pent up body give him a quick response, he felt the pleasant tension spreading when suddenly his room’s door went wide open. Joel froze in shock, he was lying naked on his bed with a stiff cook in his hand and the very person who opened the door was the duke himself.

“I see your lover wasn’t able to satisfy you, or did that hug only warmed you up?”

Joel sprung from bed and covered himself with a blanket. Fuck this situation was more than awkward.

“I’m not going to give you … a hard time so you may continue.” The duke smirked.

“What?” Was all Joel could say.
