Section 66 Development

Xingke sat in the bathtub, looking around the bathroom.

The bathroom is quite large, and even if there are ten people taking a bath here, it will not appear crowded. Half of the entire bathroom is made into a bath, but whether it is the bath or other parts, it is paved with smooth and flat stone slabs. The heated water is slowly poured into the bath from the pipes. The bather can take a bath in the bath or choose to bathe outside - you can do whatever you want. In addition, the hot water in the bath makes the whole room full of water vapor, so even in cold weather, it will not be cold to bathe here.

When I visited Dell's house that time, I was very envious of the bathing facilities in the castle. But I really didn't expect that one day I could take a bath in such a luxurious place.

The brilliance of the sunset came in from the small windows at a high place, illuminating the entire bathroom. However, this side of the bathroom wall is the height of the castle, which ensures that no one can peek into the bathroom from here - unless the bather specifically finds a chair to let himself stand at the window, there is absolutely no risk of exposure.

Well, if that wasn't the case, then how happy she would be now. She would probably be like a little girl, smiling happily here while taking a bath.

Someone gently knocked on the bathroom door.

"Who!" Xingke asked subconsciously. No, there should be no one here. Except for Ashu Rufate and Xingjian, there will be no one else here - it was Ashu Rufate? A panic appeared in her heart. She then remembered that she had forgotten to lock the bathroom door. Anyone outside could easily open the bathroom door now.

"Sister, are you inside?" What came from outside the door was a voice that Xingke would never admit or hear it.

"I'm inside." She breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter if it was her sister. But after a brief breath of relief, she suddenly felt an indescribable sadness. Why is this happening? In her former fantasy, in the chat before sleeping with her sister, she had imagined this more than once: if one day the castle belonged to them, then they would definitely play in the bathroom to celebrate.

Now everything has come true, but she is completely unable to do like those fantasy scenes. Between the two sisters, a wedge has appeared at some point, deeply touching the interface that was originally seamless.

While she was pondering, the door was already pushed open. Xingjian walked in. The fog produced by the steaming of hot water in the bathroom was very thick. Xingjian's body seemed faintly in the fog. But it can be seen that she was not wearing clothes. Xingjian also came here to take a bath.

Xingke sat in the bathtub. She didn't know how to speak or how to face it, so she chose to be embarrassed. She turned her eyes to the small window with sunlight at a high place, revealing a look of intoxicating the body and mind, although only she knew the uneasiness in her heart.

The slight sound of entering the water came to mind. Then she clearly felt something leaning against her - without thinking, it was her sister.

"It's really comfortable, right?" She heard her sister's gentle, slightly hesitant voice.

"Yeah." Xingke nodded. She clearly felt Xingjian moved to her again, and the two of them pressed tighter.

The two of them quietly soaked in the bathhouse, and I don’t know how much time it took. The sunlight outside the window also changed from golden yellow to red.

"I'm sorry." Xingke heard his sister say softly in an inaudible voice. "I'm sorry, sister, I shouldn't be angry with you in the morning."

Xingke sat up, and then she felt her sister hugging her from behind.

"Are you still angry with me?"

"No, I won't be angry." Xingke replied. She turned around and hugged her sister in her arms. In fact, the twin sisters not only have similar faces, but also their body shapes are very similar. Every time the two sisters look at each other, they will feel like they are "looking in the mirror". Perhaps it is because of the appearance that they are so similar that they are far more intimate than anything else. A simple hug seems to have a feeling of "everything is back to its original state".

"That... sister, why do you have such great hostility towards him...to him."

"This should be asked the other way around, right? Why are you..." Xing Ke actually wanted to say what happened last night, but when he said that, he changed. "... Do you want to protect him like this?"

"Did you forget Aunt Mary's explanation?" Xingjian asked back. But she immediately sighed. "I'm sorry, sister, I don't know how to describe it...but I think... I'm in love with him."

"You—love—to—him?"

"I don't know how to describe it, but when I'm with him... I feel at ease. It seems that I can't help but pay attention to him... If he is not around, I feel very disappointed..."

"He's just one..."

"Sister, he is no longer the same person he used to be." Xingjian said with some blame. "You won't forget what the doctor said, right?"

Xingke instantly remembered the doctor - the one whom Aunt Mary asked. That time I was completely lucky because the doctor was a famous doctor and was not a doctor in Bracian City. But he happened to be staying in Bracian City for a while at that time. The doctor seemed to be quite experienced in amnesia.

The so-called "losing memory" is in a sense that it is dead. The original person is dead, but his body is still alive. Xing Ke remembers what the doctor said at the beginning.

"He is... no matter what he used to be, but now he is indeed... a suitable marriage partner." Xingjian said in a slightly uneasy voice. Her face turned red as she said the last sentence. "He... is sincere, good to us."

Xingke's reason told her that her sister was actually right, but she had another emotion, an emotion that she could not recognize or dared not recognize, and was firmly opposed.

"I... still don't believe him." Xingke replied. "I admit that he helped with the matter of Io, and he really didn't go out to spend time and drink. But..." When she said these words, she felt confused. Things had lost control and could not be grasped at all. As twins, she knew that her sister was telling the truth and there was no need to lie, but...

"He bought this castle entirely for himself. It was a good investment," said Xingke. "There are high-quality grass on the side of this castle, and the annual income is about twice that of our manor. The original price should be sold for 13,000. In order to get rid of it as soon as possible, Dell Knights are willing to sell it for 11,000 yuan. Such a good castle and such good land... If we didn't have money, we would have bought it long ago, right?"

"He told me last night... that he encountered a good investment opportunity in the city yesterday. The "Shuangma" Chamber of Commerce is raising shares in the city, and the people related to him came to him."

"Shuangma Chamber of Commerce?" Xing Ke said in surprise. Braxi's city has developed business, but there is only one local chamber of commerce that is truly on the scale, so it is known to everyone. "That Shuangma Chamber of Commerce..."

"Well, the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce seems to be raising shares. They proposed that he invest the horse racing bonus - the return is the income of one thousand gold Oli every year. In addition, he can attend shareholders' meetings and even join the chamber of commerce."

This is a very generous condition - the benefits are considerable, but the key is the latter. This is actually a smooth future. Although the great nobles (or "real nobles") usually look down on merchants, squire and aristocrats are usually not so particular. Joining the chamber of commerce and becoming the top leaders is not only not a shameful thing, but on the contrary, it is a good future and enviable.

"Why didn't he..." Xing Ke asked in surprise.

"Because he told me that he hopes to watch the blooming of silver grass with us next year."

"This is not necessarily true." Xing Ke said. She herself knew that the explanation was far-fetched, so she got up from the bath. Of course, she had been soaking for a long time and was a little dizzy.

"Rubb with a bath stick."

...

When they finished bathing and changed their clothes, it was already completely dark. At this time, the inside of the castle was already dark, but they could barely see clearly.

A clear fragrance came from the air, which was the smell of food. To be honest, I didn’t feel anything at all, but when I smelled the smell, Xingke realized that he was hungry.

It was nothing strange. But a few seconds later, Xingke suddenly realized that he shouldn't smell these scents. This was because the servants did not move to the castle.

Because of the sale of the castle, Knight Dell had already moved out of the castle with his family and servants. During this period of sale, there was only one doorkeeper in the castle, and several cleaners came to clean it at a fixed time. Xingke did not bring his servants here this time. This was because the original manor needed someone to take care of, and the other half was that Xingke did not actually plan to move in, but just came over to check it out and confirmed that this was not a scam (relatively speaking, Xingke really planned to move in). Later, it was completely attracted by the good bathroom and couldn't help but want to try it. In her original plan, she originally wanted to take a shower and go back (the clothes of the two sisters were completely interchangeable, so there was no need to worry about changing clothes when taking a bath).

The source of the fragrance is the restaurant in front. As mentioned earlier, the living areas of the master and servant in this castle are separated. The master has the master's living, dining place, servant has the servant's living, dining place. But there should not be such a smell here now...

The two sisters walked into the restaurant. The restaurant was not very big. The dining table was a walnut table and six matching chairs. At this moment, there was a candlestick in the middle of the table. The candles had been lit up and illuminated the entire room. Around the candlestick, there were fragrant food, mainly scrambled ham, a little sausage, and a small amount of matching vegetables. All the food was placed in white porcelain plates, and the tableware was neatly placed next to the plate.

"This..." Xingke was a little surprised. She rubbed her eyes and almost mistakenly thought she had entered the fairy tale kingdom. In those fairy tales, the princes and princesses had little goblin servants prepared meals for them.
