After returning to the castle in the evening, I was utterly exhausted.
Due to excessive physical exertion, I was so tired that I ate twice as much dinner as usual. I soaked myself in the bathtub, resembling a soft and squishy rice cake.
The hot water eased the soreness in my muscles. Leaning against the edge of the tub, I let out a groan, finally feeling a sense of rejuvenation.
The bathtub was circular, spacious enough for two or three people. I lit scented candles by the edge of the tub, immersed myself in the hot water, pretending to be a fish blowing bubbles.
"What are you doing?"
Louis pushed the door open.
He had just returned, dressed in a white shirt with his arms crossed, leaning against the doorway, looking at me somewhat amused. His black suit pants made his figure appear even taller.
I blushed for no apparent reason.
