Xiang Yu sank deeper into the warm water, letting the fragrant steam wrap around him like a soft blanket. For two hours, he soaked in the tranquillity, the world outside fading away. The gentle bubbles rose and popped, creating a soothing rhythm that lulled him to sleep.
His communicator lit up with notifications, but the soft beeps were lost in the haze of his dreams. It wasn't until a gentle touch stirred him awake that he realized how long he had been submerged in peace. The attendants smiled as they helped him get out of the water. He felt as if every muscle in his body had turned to jelly.
Draped in a plush robe, he followed them to a separate room filled with the rich aroma of food. A table was set, and he took a seat, his appetite returning with a rush. As he ate, he finally glanced at his communicator and saw a lot of notifications.
