Act 44

It's night.

Grantia sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, still wearing her original apprentice's robes, her delicate and light pajamas neatly laid aside.

The bright room was not at all like a bedroom and more like a living room, but the large, soft bed, the dressing table and the shiny mirror emphasized that this was a girl's bedroom.

Grandia looked at the bed, the silk futon was filled with soft feathers, which was so high that she didn't know how high it was compared to the goods she used in Bunajien, and the price of the pajamas made of materials was definitely worth nearly half a year's income of an ordinary little nobleman.

Are the nobles of the royal capital so rich?

Grantia couldn't help but ask inwardly.

And she has actually been confronted with this pajama for a long time.

Knock Knock Knock –

There was an unhurried knock on the door.

"Miss Ulysses, the hot water is ready, when will I take a bath?"

A calm female voice came from outside the door, the maid of the Trest family.

"Okay, okay, wait a minute. ”

Grandia hurriedly responded, looking at the expensive pajamas on the bed again.

"So be it!"

As soon as she closed her eyes, she directly picked up her pajamas and pushed open the door with a bang.

Outside the door, a procession of four maids was waiting for Grandia.

"Let's go, let's go. ”

She pretended to be calm and said to the head maid.

"This way, please. ”

The maids showed considerable professionalism and without saying a word, they led Grantia directly to the front of a door.

Making a "please" gesture, the maids get out of the way.

Grantia swallowed and pushed the door open.

It was a fairly spacious bathroom, and as soon as she entered the hall with a white porcelain floor, Grantia followed the instructions to the room where she changed clothes, put down her pajamas, pressed her hand on the apprentice's robe, and then thought about it and sent a message on her mobile terminal.

[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: Explain in advance, I'm going to take a shower next, so don't have any bad ideas.] 】

[Fireless ashes: Why didn't you pay attention to these when you were in your bedroom?]

Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: That's different. 】

With this, Grandia put the pendant around her neck in the basket and covered it with a towel beside her before she began to take off her clothes.

"Isn't it a little fat. ”

Grantia looked at her body, and there seemed to be a little more fat around her waist, which seemed to be caused by her recent addiction to research and her lack of control over her sweet tooth, which made her feel a little depressed.

However, the growth of some indescribable places makes her a little happy, all in all, girls at this age will always have emotional changes for various reasons, which are completely unpredictable.

After a day of tossing and turning, Grandia was already exhausted and wanted to take a hot bath, and the environment of this bathroom could be called magnificent, and everywhere exuded a luxurious atmosphere.

With her towel in hand, Grantia walked through another door and into the bathing area of the bathroom.

A puff of heat came out, moistening and warming the otherwise dry and cold air, and Grandia felt the warmth and saw the whole bathroom.

In the huge bath, the warm water is calm, and the surrounding statues come to life, and in the center, there is a large relief depicting the magnificent mountains and rivers.

Although Christine can take a hot bath at any time, she can only take a shower there, and there is no way to take a bath, and Grantia can only tolerate this, but now, a pool full of warm water is in front of her, which naturally makes her excited.

She rinsed herself first, then walked over to the bath, stretched out her small feet, and lightly tapped the water.

The temperature is just right.

Afterwards, Grandia sat down in the bath, the warm water reaching her collarbone, enveloping her whole body in warm water.

The water was obviously not just clean water, but a medicinal bath mixed with various medicines, and just staying in it, Grantia felt a burst of relief, and her tired body was slowly rejuvenating, as if she was going to fall asleep in the next moment.

However, before Grandia could fully enjoy the warm bath, she heard a faint sound of footsteps behind her, and Grandia's whole body immediately tensed.

Is there still voyeurism?

Grantia turned her head and saw a snow-white figure standing behind her, with the same stunned expression on her face.

"Grandia?"

It's Alyssa.

The girl was also naked at this time, her fair skin was like a doll, and her beautiful figure was unobstructed from Grandia's point of view, but there may be some regrets that some indescribable parts seem to be still in the development stage, and they are relatively flat.

But Alyssa's legs can be said to be very perfectly proportioned, especially now, a pair of jade feet looming in the mist, which leads to reverie, and Grantia, who is a girl, can't help but feel a little excited.

Could this be the bathroom perk that is often mentioned in the book?

"I didn't know you were there. ”

Alyssa's cheeks were slightly red, and I don't know if it was because it was too hot in the bathroom or something else, but there was a slight instability in her voice, but it made the girl even more lovable.

"Uh, since you're here, let's go clubbing together haha. ”

Grantia tried to ease the embarrassment with a hearty attitude, but she didn't expect to make Alyssa's face even redder.

"Hmm. ”

Alyssa nodded slightly, and then stepped into the bath, sitting right next to Grantia.

The two were silent for a moment, and a subtle atmosphere permeated the bathroom.

"I remember when I was a child, my mother used to take a bath with me, but that was only when I was very young. ”

Eventually, it was Grandia who broke the silence and said as if she remembered something.

"It's the first time I've taken a shower with other people. ”

Alyssa muttered under her breath, looking at the curvature of the back of Grantia's neck as she pulled her hair up.

"My mother died after giving birth to me, and my father, because he was busy with official business, did not have time to spend with me, of course, these are normal, I know that my father's work is more important than my own, so I grew up and got used to living alone. ”

Grandia listened to Alyssa's words and thought that perhaps this was the first time the girl had confided her heart to someone else.

"Doesn't it sound strange that my father said that human interaction reduces the intensity of human beings, so he also treated his family like this, and in fact, until now, my father and I have never had dinner at the same table, doesn't that sound strange?"

Alyssa's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she looked pitiful.

"So, this time I have to"

She said to herself, but was soon interrupted by the sound of water.

Grandia hugged Alyssa.

The girl in her arms shed the disguise she usually used to protect herself, revealing a vulnerable appearance, which moved Grantia a little.

"I'm not qualified to say it, but sometimes, you don't have to work so hard, you just stop a little bit and look at the scenery around you, maybe you get a better reward. ”

Grantia said, using her not-so-mature worldview.

"And while human interaction reduces human strength, it also increases human resilience, doesn't it?"
