The Spas

Underneath the castle was a network of mineral hot springs that could be reached by some stairs from the outside of the castle in the courtyard. Lucien led Aliana to the stairs and her knights stayed at the top. It was the only way to the spas and hot springs.

When Aliana and Lucien made it to the bottom of the stairs and there were torches lighting the way down several corridors. At the entrance were towels and robes which Lucien grabbed for them and led the way down a long hallway.

"How many different spas are here?" Aliana asked curiously.

"Dozens, there's a bunch that are natural and others that are built around the water that are more private," Lucien smirked.

Aliana nodded and blushed as he opened one of the doors to a spa room and shut it behind them. The spa was huge and the water came from a hole in the wall that was steaming into the round stone bath. There were several small spouts that looked like a waterfall that flowed out of the spa to let excess water out.
