Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 93
◈ 093. [Side Story] Take off the pretense (2)
There was no.
Such a sweet and savory event. never been in my life.
“…….”
Inside the men’s bath. Inside a private bathtub filled with lukewarm water.
I am floating like a sujebi with my body soaked in water..
The design of the bathhouse is very similar to that of ancient Rome that I used to see in books..
The soup is not as boiling hot as it is in Korea, but it's still hot so it's okay..
Since you're a lord, it's okay to monopolize the private bath..
“The water facilities are well maintained..”
Lucas, who was standing next to my bathtub and serving me, immediately responded to my muttering to myself..
“Isn’t this the pride of the empire? As we have experienced many water shortages, we have become more interested in using water resources. It's the best in the whole world.”
“It may be that the city has a small population. It will be easy to maintain water quality.”
Or rather, don’t you take a bath? Even after coming here, you are still waiting for me..
“Isn’t it the job of a bodyguard to guard the lord’s side at any time?.”
“I get tired of hearing that special sound all the time. Okay, you wash it too. There's a big bathtub right next to it..”
When I urged him, Lucas lowered his head reluctantly..
“Then, I'll go into the bathhouse right next to it..”
“Draw it. Come on in now.…….”
Lucas carefully entered the bathtub. I was momentarily speechless as I looked at his broad back..
Lucas' muscular body was covered with all kinds of scars and wounds. As if summarizing the hardships this guy has gone through throughout his life..
“Thank you for your hard work, Lucas..”
Lucas smiled at my words..
“You are welcome. lord.”
Meanwhile, Damian is floating right next to Lucas. Is it a corpse? Alive, man?
“Are you okay, Damian??”
“then… … Yo, prince… … I'm fine…….”
No, you are ascending. No matter how you look at it, your soul is coming out of your mouth..
“What on earth happened yesterday?……?”
“……It would be better to bury yesterday's events..”
Lucas answered, avoiding my gaze with a pale face. No, I guess something really happened.?!
Anyway, while we were leisurely like this, I thought the three of us would talk about various things..
Rumble!
People poured into the men’s bathhouse..
This is the Twilight Legion. The old men all started occupying the bathroom here and there, making noises like ‘uh-huh’..
Rumble!
Following the Twilight Legion, even ordinary mercenaries rushed into the room..
Soon, the men’s bathhouse was filled with men covered in beards and muscles..
“…….”
I can't breathe.
Being trapped in a small place with all those lumpy muscle pigs makes me feel dizzy..
Please fucking save me. I was just going to use the bathroom in the mansion by myself, so I got carried away and came together..
“Should I go out soon?…….”
“Would you like to?”
“I want to go too, ugh…….”
The three of us got out of the bath and wandered towards the men's bath..
chuck!
chuck!
chuck!
Whenever the mercenaries made eye contact with me as I went outside, they saluted..
No, it's embarrassing to be saluted while naked, so don't do it! Don't do it!
***
After wiping off my body, I put on the gown provided by the public bathhouse and went inside..
A spacious lounge opened up. It is a cool space open to the outside..
“Ohh…….”
It's like a Korean sauna..
Of course, it's not a sauna facility, it's just a spacious, well-ventilated hall..
People who enjoyed a bath are lying or sitting comfortably in various places and chatting. Is there such an advanced facility?.
‘I reflect on myself for belittling it as a fantasy world. It's pretty good.’
I lay down on the floor in the hall, doing useless things. She was warmed up in a hot bath and her whole body felt tired..
‘Ah, it's time for sikhye.…….’
As I lay there in an environment similar to a sauna, I immediately thought of sikhye..
If you crack a baked egg, put it in your mouth, chew it, and then drink a bowl of sikhye with thin ice, it's heaven..
At times like this, I miss the Earth.…….
“lucas!”
“Yes, my lord.!”
Lucas, who was sitting comfortably next to me as I lay down, answered immediately. I raised my head and looked around..
“Do they sell anything to eat or drink here??”
“I'm sorry, my lord. Eating and drinking is prohibited here..”
Lucas has an expression like ‘It’s common sense.’.
Holy fucking fantasy world! They're strict in places like this.!
“I… … Is there somewhere I can get some water?…….”
At that time, Damien, who was lying down next to me, muttered with a dying look on his face..
After drinking and dying, I sweated it out in the bathtub and it seemed like the child was dehydrated. Wow.
“Lucas, take the kid and give him some water..”
“But I am protecting His Majesty.…….”
“My subordinates are everywhere, so what can I do? I can also protect myself. Don't worry and go.”
Lucas hesitated for a moment, but eventually got up..
“I will also fetch water for you to drink..”
“Ong. That's amazing. Come back.”
Lucas and Damian left the common room. I corrected my lying posture. Oh, it's comfortable.
Should I take a nap like this for a while? I close my eyes and think about that..
“oh!”
I heard a familiar girl's voice..
“You are a senior..”
“Eh.”
When I opened my eyes and looked in that direction, I saw Evangeline bouncing into the lounge..
Her wet platinum hair was tied up with a towel wrapped around her head. I look even skinnier when I do that..
“why are you here again.”
“I'm from this neighborhood. Of course, this bathhouse is also a regular..”
I guess she used this place even though she was the lord’s daughter..
Well, it's even more strange not to use this level of facilities in this small city..
At that time, Lily came behind Evangeline, pushing a wheelchair, and our eyes met..
Hehe! Lily made a noise and quickly lowered her head to me..
“majesty?! why are you here?!”
“What I'm saying is... … Did you two come together??”
Evangeline smiled and nodded..
“I came to take a shower with Lily.!”
“When did you become friends?.”
“If we cross the line of fire together, wouldn't we naturally become friends? Right, sister?”
“Yes… … That's right, lady.…….”
Lily broke into a cold sweat awkwardly. No, Evangeline, I think you are the only one who pretends to be friendly..
‘Well, Lily is the only person of the same age at the party..’
I also understand why Evangeline wants to become friends..
On the other hand, it is understandable that Lily is nervous..
He wants to leave the party... … . And since Evangeline is the heir to her frontier earldom, it must be a burden.…….
“Ah, sister! Let's go take that seat! It's a perfect place because you can see the mountains in the distance..”
“is it so. miss.”
“Well then, see you later, senior. We're off to have girls' talk.~”
Ah, hey! don't go! Play with me! Save me from these black men!
I screamed inside, but the two people had already gone far away with a whistling sound. You're heartless.
“Hehe… … Okay, I can have fun as long as I have Lucas and Damien..”
……I said that, but these two guys are not coming back. Where did you go to get water??
It was then.
“majesty?”
A clear female voice rang out..
“That's unexpected. I never thought the royal family would use these facilities..”
I opened my eyes and looked there..
I saw a young woman wringing out the moisture from her long brown hair with a towel. I frowned. I think this is my first time seeing you..
“Who are you?”
“This is Margerita..”
“Ex?”
The opponent was none other than the temple's chief priest, Saint Margerita.!
No, you were always wrapped from head to toe in black priest’s uniform..
You suddenly appear in such an open outfit, so of course I don't recognize you..
I hurriedly prepared myself with courtesy..
“Do you also use public bathhouses??”
Margerita tilted her head at my question..
“Is there a law that says a priest must not wash??”
“No, that's not it.…….”
There was an image that priests did not come out of the temple. I guess it was just my bias.
“I had major surgery yesterday. I wanted to wash my body.”
Oh, right. This person had surgery on God Hand yesterday..
Margerita's hands were dark red..
Is this why he spent his entire life collecting the blood and wounds of patients? No matter how many times I wash it, it doesn't seem to come off..
I looked at that hand blankly, then an idea occurred to me and I asked:.
“Did the surgery go well??”
“How many times did Your Majesty send someone during the banquet to inquire about the progress??”
“Ugh, it’s me.……?”
I guess he kept asking someone about God Hand's well-being while he was drunk. I don't remember.
“Well done. I am recovering safely now. I casted a healing spell on you in the morning, and I also came to take a shower afterwards..”
Margerita adjusted her collar and looked around..
“I didn't expect it to be this crowded.”
Well, before we know it, even the break room is crowded with mercenaries..
The defensive battle ended yesterday, and a banquet was held all night long. It may be natural for the bathhouse to be crowded..
“You must have had a hard time undergoing surgery, and I am sorry that my soldiers are disturbing your rest..”
Margerita shook her head as I spoke hesitantly..
“War is a terrible and cruel thing. I believe that the fighting on this front is a sacred task..”
“Holy, la... … Because it’s to protect people.?”
Instead of answering, Margerita nodded slightly..
“It would also be valuable to wash away the blood and sweat from the holy war. If we can do it together, I'd be happy too..”
It seems like a priestly answer. It just seems like a humane answer..
As I was pondering her answer, Margerita bowed her head to me again..
“Then I'll leave. I had to move with other priests..”
“Ah yes. Rest well.”
“May your Majesty rest well..”
Margerita joined the priest and his party, and everyone laughed and disappeared to the other side of the lounge..
They're all more ordinary people (in a good way) than I thought..
“lord!”
“Prince!”
Then Lucas and Damien returned. I exhaled venom..
“What are you doing so late?!”
To be honest, I felt a little embarrassed because I was alone.!
“Well, it's nothing else.…….”
Lucas looked around at the people around him, approached me, and showed me what he had put in his robe..
“!”
I opened my eyes wide in surprise..
that… … It was an egg!
Lucas nodded with a determined expression..
“It's a boiled egg. I bought it from a bathroom dealer..”
“No, what is a black dealer?…….”
Damian next to me showed me what he had brought in his arms. I saw a bottle with water droplets in it..
“This is cool honey water.”
The two guys nodded at the same time..
“I eat it secretly!”
Sigh. These great guys. How do you know my insides?.
“After all, all I need is you!”
I hugged them both. Lucas and Damian were struggling, asking why I was like this, but I didn't care..
While the atmosphere is getting warmer,.
“Hey, you brought something good..”
A cold voice was heard. what?!
Evangeline and Lily were coming this way..
As if she had already noticed the snack here, Evangeline's green eyes sparkled with appetite..
“They say you can even share a side of beans, so shouldn't each of the 5 people in the main party share a bite??”
“Please give me just a sip of honey water.…….”
“Hey, these guys are like this.!”
But you can't kick them out. Those who suffer together.
In the end, the 5 people in our main party occupied a corner of the lounge and secretly peeled and ate boiled eggs while keeping an eye on our surroundings..
There were 6 in total so I ate 2..
“Ugh~!”
When I swallowed the ice-cold honey water with my egg-clogged throat, it felt like heaven..
“It's good…….”
I thought that a public bathhouse item should be added to the tourist city plan. This needs to be spread far and wide.!
