Secrets In The Manor?

Everything seemed to be in place now, there wasn't any more time to waste, I finished my meal and promptly had Penelope help me bathe as I was in a hurry.

I knew I usually didn't allow any maid to bathe me and would just bathe myself otherwise. However, my current situation called for assistance because even though I was healed without many scars, I could still feel the pain from the injuries and that prevented efficient movement of my limbs.

So to correct that and lessen my pain, I strolled to my bathroom which was immediately next to my bedroom chamber, it had a bathtub, large mirrors against the bathroom walls and a couple of wooden buckets filled with warm water lying around the bathtub, probably filled up by the live-in maids.

I went into the half-filled bathtub and slowly soaked my aching body in there, waiting for Penelope to take over and bathe me.
