Upon arrival back to the castle, they decided baths were in order before the celebration.

  “Huh, I’ve been working on my training so much, I’ve hardly had time for a proper soak,” sighed Ereka touching her hair.

  Although still gorgeous, she didn’t look perfectly manicured after battle and didn’t want Sungjin to see her so unpolished.

  “You’re right; I need to take a bath as well. Then we can enjoy the party!” Eustasia agreed.

  She also didn’t want to look messy when the guy she loved was standing right next to her.

  But Rachel looked like a puppy that didn’t want to touch the water……

  “Ba……bath?”


  “Yes, let’s take a bath. I know the rivers and lakes outside are good, but we have too many nice facilities in this castle,” Ereka suggested to Rachel with a smile.

  “Oh, I……” But Rachel didn’t answer and stepped back to hide.

  “Is it too much work to take a bath?” Ereka smiled and added.

  “No. Hygiene is important.”


  “I…… well……” Rachel lost her voice for a moment but then, with a tiny voice, informed everyone:

  “I don’t……want to……show other people……other than Sungjin……I’m too shy……” Ereka’s eyes became wide with surprise. Rachel’s words could have many different interpretations.

  What do you mean?

  Sungjin remembered that Rachel had showed him the cursed tattoo on her back when they had first met.

  I’m sure that’s not something she wants to show everyone.

  But if he tried to explain, that would reveal her secret as well.

  “Then you can just take a bath with me.”


  “With you?”


  “You would be okay with me, right?”


  “It’s okay!” Rachel was relieved.

  Thank god……

  She wasn’t quite ready to show her tattoo to the others. So Rachel caught Sungjin’s leg right away. When Jenna saw this, she took Sungjin’s other leg.

  “Then I will take a bath with you as well.” Sungjin looked at Jenna and pushed her away.

  “You were okay with taking your own bath before. What’s wrong with you?” He looked at her as if he was begging her not to do this to him; Jenna decided to give up.

  “Booo. This is a discrimination.”


  “You’re right, this is discrimination,” Eustasia complained and dragged Sungjin’s arm toward her.

  “What’s wrong with you?”


  “I want to take a bath with you.”


  Sungjin smiled.

  “If we take a bath together, it wouldn’t be just a bath.”


  When he politely refused, Eustasia answered:

  “Of course, I’ll serve your every need. I know how to serve a man for a bath. Do you think all I know is my sword and the battle?”


  Ereka blushed.

  “Oh my, Eustasia……”


  But she was thinking about other things.

  I can do it……but no……I don’t really know how. How do you serve a guy for a bath? Why didn’t I study it before and when did she learn about it? She’s so talented. What I can do is whatever Sungjin asks me to do.

  Ereka, clean my back with your breast.

  Is…… is this okay?

  Her soft and toned breast contacted his back and started to move.

  It’s not the best I’ve had, but I will reward you for trying.

  Sungjin suddenly pulled her towards him.

  Now, I will wash you.

  Then his hands started to……

  With Ereka blushing even more and Eustasia looking like she was about to strip down, Sungjin told them clearly:

  “Stop! I’m just going to wash this child. Stop being inappropriate and take your baths by yourselves. Grow up!”


  Your joke was quite blunt, Eustasia. I would hope you wouldn’t make such jokes in front of a child.

  Not knowing how serious the two of them were being, he left with Rachel before they could say anything else.
