Audrey vented her shyness and regret in the closed bathroom for a while, and then she finally regained her composure and started to fill the bathtub with water.
Although she was very curious about what the "big bathroom" in Penridax's house looked like, since she was new here, Audrey decisively chose the guest bathroom which was smaller and gave people more sense of security.
Turning on the faucet and letting the hot water continuously pour into the bathtub, Audrey also channeled her chaotic emotions in the sound of steamy water.
With the effect of soothing ability, Audrey's mood slowly returned to peace. She sniffed the water in the bathtub and said in slight surprise:
"This water doesn't seem to be boiled by a boiler? Is it heated by magic? It is indeed a magic castle."
Although Emperor Russell invented the faucet and water pipe system, he did not develop a water heater. Therefore, both civilian bathrooms and aristocratic families still use more traditional boilers to boil water. The only difference is that the bathrooms in civilian apartments
Even if the hot water is provided in the room, there is a specific supply period. When the nobles use hot water, they directly ask the servants to boil it. In large noble families like the Hall family, the boiler room usually has a dedicated servant who is responsible for it around the clock.
Hot water is provided 24 hours a day.
But no matter what, as long as the water is not used for drinking, most of it will have a strange smell unique to boilers. Even a wealthy family like the Hall family cannot afford to rebuild the water pipe system whenever there is a smell.
— after all that basically means residential redevelopment.
After checking that all the basic bathing props were in place, Audrey, under the guidance of the "servant", found a pile of bathrobes marked "disposable" in the closet. After confirming that everything was ready, Audrey took those bathrobes.
All the little things the size of a palm were driven out of the bathroom, and then they took off their tattered hunting clothes and soaked themselves in the bathtub.
"Huh? This bathtub is so comfortable!"
After briefly losing consciousness due to the warmth, Audrey suddenly noticed the magic of this bathtub. Under the guidance of a certain force, the water in the bathtub was always flowing, washing the body with a gentle force.
It is far more comfortable than the bathtub at home.
Not only that, this bathtub also has a water purification function. Even if there is a lot of dust and mucus on her body, the water in the bathtub will always remain clear.
"Is this the heritage of the ancient mysterious family?" Audrey stretched herself in the water, becoming more and more curious about the structure of the large bathroom.
However, the girl still remembered that she needed to return to the manor as soon as possible, and after a brief enjoyment, she began to speed up the bathing process.
…
Snow, who once again rejected the monkeys' peeping proposal with a veto, leaned back on his chair and quietly flipped through the books in his hands. At the desk, Susie, who had been cleaned, was lying on the soft and thick carpet, with two
A palm-sized little man is helping it turn the pages of the book.
The atmosphere in the entire study was so harmonious and quiet, until a moment later, with the sound of footsteps, the door to the study was pushed open again, and Miss Audrey, who had finished bathing, appeared in Snow's sight again.
Snow looked at Audrey who suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up. She did not choose the women's clothes that Snow had prepared, but was wearing a casual suit. There was no room left for her to be propped up.
, combined with the long hair that is still a little wet even though it has been dried to a certain extent, adds a bit of alluring temperament to Audrey, who usually prefers a cute style.
"Oh, my angel, could it be that the clothes in the closet cannot satisfy your aesthetic taste?" Snow asked in a somewhat exaggerated tone. Audrey heard this, but ignored him and asked Ambassador Intis.
Using the learned title, he forced himself into audience mode and responded with an elegant smile:
"Of course not. The clothes in the closet are beautiful, but I need to ride a horse soon."
Speaking of this, Audrey couldn't help but think of the underwear she had put in her bag, which could barely maintain the audience's status.
In fact, the Snow family's wardrobe really opened Audrey's eyes. The clothing styles that were completely different from the current mainstream design styles gave her a deep awareness of the artistic accomplishments of the Penridax family ancestors, especially those that
The elf-style clothing made her inevitably want to wear it and have a look.
Although some clothes may make her feel a little embarrassed, as she often attends aristocratic social banquets, she will naturally not reject these clothes that are more conservative than evening dresses.
Well, speaking of it, she has become a social adult and will no longer be able to wear girly clothes such as cake skirts to dinner parties!
Snow didn't care about Audrey's complicated psychological drama, but nodded and said:
"I didn't think carefully. This place is still some distance from the Hall family's territory. I'll take you back after dinner."
"I'm sorry, I have to go back before dinner." Although Audrey also wanted to experience what it would be like to have dinner in this castle, she had no choice but to give up the idea when she thought that she had sneaked out today.
.
"Okay, then let's set off." Snow nodded, without asking the reason, stood up and said:
"You should have come from that ancient tower, right? You can teleport directly to this castle. If you want to come here next time, you can also teleport directly. Keep that key. If you have it with you, even if I don't
At home, you can also order the servants in the castle. By the way, if you need to summon servants, just use the key to draw an '∞' pattern in the air."
As Snow spoke, he made a gesture with the symbol "∞" for Audrey. Audrey silently wrote it down, and then said with some surprise:
"Can I come over in the future? I don't need to give this key back to you?"
"Of course, anyone who passes the trial can get this key, but I am now the head of the Panridax family, so you cannot enter some special rooms when I am not around... Well, specifically
, you can’t even enter a door that can’t be opened with this key.” Snow described the rules in the castle seriously, and then suddenly said as if he remembered something:
"But you have to return that notebook to me, otherwise no new notebooks will be born in the trial hall. If you want to keep a souvenir, I can make a copy for you - it seems that guy likes to take trialists'
The story was written as a novel.”
"Ah this..." Audrey finally couldn't maintain her audience status. After struggling for a moment, she finally took out the notebook recording her various dark histories from her bag and handed it back to Mr. Devil...
