Chapter 232: Chapter 232. Unexpected Surprise
"Okay girls, the bath is ready. Now, please let me take a little nap, and don't wake me up for such a trivial matter again. You guys are literally treating me like your servant," Myne dissatisfiedly said as he emerged from the bathroom.
Last night, because he hadn't visited June for many days, she completely went wild again. To satisfy her inner fire, he had to work overtime, and only in the early morning did he manage to calm down her inner fire. After glancing at the clock, Myne decided to sleep at home, so that even if he woke up late, no one would complain.
But who would have thought that only three hours after falling asleep, Sylphy would wake him up because Ayri wanted to try his new bath.
"Thanks, Lord Husband. You worked hard. Now, you can sleep peacefully. No one will disturb you before breakfast," Sylphy cheerfully gave Myne a thank-you kiss, before kicking him out of the bedroom.
"Ahem, Lord Myne, can I also take a bath?" Just as Myne stepped out of his bedroom, leaving Sylphy and Ayri behind, Amy appeared seemingly out of nowhere and asked in a meek voice.
"Sure, as long as you're happy, you can do whatever you want. Consider it your own house from now on, and you don't have to be so shy and formal around us." Myne, with a smile on his face, patted Amy's head, possibly his future wife, before walking away.
"Huh? Why is she standing there dazedly?" Aisha followed by Luna came to Myne and noticing Amy staring at him with a dazed expression, couldn't help but ask causally.
"Nothing. She is just moved by my struggle. After all, I am working in my house like a servant. She said she had never seen this kind of thing in her kingdom. By the way, don't tell me you two are also going to take a bath as well. Although our bathhouse is big, it's clearly not big enough for five people to take a bath together, Myne asked with a frown.
You don't have to worry about it, we girls handle this problem for ourselves. You go and finish your sweet sleep, oh, my great Lord Husband, hehe, but I warn you, I will wake up after preparing breakest," Aisha teased Myne while giggling, and after kissing Myne on his lips, making Luna and Amy blush slightly, she entered the bedroom with them.
Myne sighed, thinking, "Now a person couldn't sleep peacefully. This world is too cruel... Wait a minute, the girls have occupied the bedroom. Rector messed up the other room last night and is currently sleeping there. Then, where the heck am I going to sleep? The couch is also not an option since the girls will need a place to sit when they come back.
Why didn't Father make any extra rooms?" Myne cursed his late father as he walked to the backyard. After finding a good spot by the wall, he took out a small bed and his favourite quilt from his inventory before lying down to continue his half-finished sleep.
...
"This is indeed a fantastic and cosy bathtub," Ary spoke. "It's totally different from the one in the royal palace. Although it's a little small, it's more beautiful and comfortable," She added with a relaxed face.
"It's true that the hot water used here is different from the ordinary ones. After soaking in the bath, my energy is fully restored, and my fatigue simply vanishes. Perhaps Lord Husband's skills are involved, but thanks to that, we get to immerse ourselves in such a luxurious bath every single day. Don't you agree, Aisha?" Sylphy giggled and asked.
"Yes, there's nothing better than the bath prepared by Myne. I can spend hours lounging lazily in it," Aisha replied, leaning against the edge of the bathtub with her eyes closed, savoring the soothing sensation of the water on every part of her lower body.
"Sis, I think there's something unusual about this water. The fatigue that's been haunting me seems to be disappearing, and I can feel boundless energy in every part of my body like never before. What's happening?" Ayri exclaimed with surprise and disbelief as she stood in the bathtub with her eyes wide open.
"Now that you mention it, I've also had a strange feeling about this water. I initially dismissed it as my imagination, but this water might not be ordinary well water," Amy responded to Ayri's question with a serious expression. She scooped up a small amount of water in her hand curiously, only then did she notice the various colourful gems on her magic bracelet slightly shining.
Huh? This is weird. These gems only shine like this when I supplement them with my magic energy to charge them. So why are they reacting now? Amy thought confusedly as she stared at her bracelet.
What's going on? The reason Ayri had to stay shut-in in her room was because of her unexplained condition that was affecting her body. Although it wasn't anything life-threatening, she could still feel it, and even a bit of intense exercise would cause her to be unable to move. And now she is saying that her uncrackable disease is disappearing just by taking a bath? What kind of joke is this?
What on earth did Myne do in this bath? Sylphy bit her lip in frustration and quickly tried to check Ayri's body. However, she was neither a doctor nor a magician who could sense energy in someone's body, so other than checking body temperature, she found nothing.
"The hot water in this bath was provided by Lord Husband. I don't know the details of where he got this water, but has it really disappeared, your uncrackable disease?" Sylphy asked with concern.
"Yes, there's no mistake. I feel like I could sprint 100 meters right now without losing my breath with my current condition," Ayri excitedly replied, like an energetic child.
"I can't believe it. Even though you've seen plenty of great doctors, healers, and magicians, you didn't feel better, but now, just by taking a bath..."
"Rather than making your own random guesses, why don't you just go out and ask Myne to make things clear? It's not like he's in a different corner of the world and you can't reach to him," Aisha, who peacefully wanted to enjoy her bath, couldn't help but remind with a frown.
"Yes, let's talk to Brother Myne, he should know about it. But first, let's enjoy the bath more, just as Sister Aisha said, It's not like Brother Myne is going anywhere," Ayri, still feeling boundless energy coursing through her body with every passing second from the bathwater, said casually. Ignoring the concerned and dumbfounded Sylphy, she sat down in the bathtub again.
"Am I the only one who's worried about Ayri's unusual situation...?"
...
"Lord Husband!"
"Lord husband, where are you?!"
"Brother Myne, where are you? We have something very important to discuss with you!"
"Damn, who's shouting so loudly early in the morning? People can't even sleep peacefully nowadays."
While Sylphy and Ayri searched for Myne throughout the house, Myne himself complained angrily and buried his head under the pillow to block out the sounds, continuing his sweet sleep.
Five minutes later...
"Sis, I found Brother Myne; he's in the backyard!" Ayri exclaimed. "Thank you, Waffle and Ted, for your help," she added, happily patting Waffle and Ted on the head as they assisted her in searching for Myne.
"Wafu~ No need to say thanks, just give me, I mean us some honey as we deal." Waffle responded honestly while wagging his tail in excitement, thinking about the delicious honey. Although last night he wanted to sneak into the kitchen after everyone had gone to sleep, but Aisha had outsmarted him.
She not only had placed him right beside her but also locked the door and window, blocking his all escape routes.
"Where is he? Lord Husband, wake up; it's not the time to sleep. We have a big matter to solve," Sylphy urged, speaking in a state of panic. She shook Myne up and down in an attempt to wake him.
"Fineeee! You win, okay? I'm not going to sleep anymore, so stop shaking me," Myne groaned, finally giving in to Sylphy's persistence. Enjoy exclusive chapters from m-v l'e|-NovelBin.net
Sylphy did as instructed and got off the bed. Myne sighed helplessly and returned his bed and quilt to his inventory before heading into the house.
"Now, tell me what the matter is. You're behaving like the world is about to end, and I always hear that princesses are supposed to stay calm and elegant no matter the situation. But seeing you, sometimes I even wonder if you're a fake princess or something. She isn't adaptive, right?" Myne asked Ayri, his brow furrowed.
"Although Sis's attitude and deeds do make it seem like she's adopted, according to Mother and her appearance, she is indeed my biological sister," Ayri responded with a giggle, dismissing Myne's doubts.
"Lord Husband, stop joking and quickly tell us what sort of hot water you put inside this bath! After entering the bath, Ayri's almost unbearable illness suddenly disappeared," Sylphy spoke hurriedly, her tone a mix of worry and excitement.
Hot water? When did I put hot water in it? Ahh, the water I heated with magic pebbles, but when did it have the properties to cure a unique disease? I don't remember seeing anything like that in their appraisal requests, Myne thought, clearly confused about what Sylphy saying.
"That was just normal water created and heated from skills. Other than being created from magic, I don't think there is anything special about it," Myne replied after pondering for a while.
"I think, because Lord Myne used his magic to create that water, it might have become magic water," Amy spoke quietly in the background.
"Magical water!? I've never heard of it before. What on earth is that?" Sylphy asked, clearly perplexed.
"First of all, Amy, please stop adding 'Lord' in front of my name. You are also part of this family now. And second, magic water is something like normal water mixed with a huge amount of magic energy. The water we use to drink – don't you always praise our home's water for being so sweet and refreshing? That's because it's magic water.
I brought it from the Fenrir cave, which had a lot of magic energy mixed in it," Myne explained with a smile.
"Why didn't you mention it before? I always thought our well was connected to an underground river, which is why the water is so sweet," Sylphy asked, annoyed.
"But honey, you never asked where this water was coming from and drew your own conclusions. What could I do about it?" Myne shrugged.
"Fine, but since it's because of coming into contact with magic water, Ayri feels relieved, doesn't this mean..."
"Ayri's body is lacking in magic."
