Capítulo 203: Promotion

Evian had slept in the entanglement of feminine limbs. When he and Zayda returned to her quarters through the same means they had left it, he found both Carleine and Ember peacefully asleep but somewhere around dawn, they awoke, glared at Zayda who was monopolizing his body, and made their way there as well.

It was serene— Comfortable but soon, they all awoke, cleaned up, wore clothes, and opened the door of Zayda's quarters to join their fellow Knights.
