However, something was nipping at her mind. After Citrina had disappeared, Mia had once checked the Princess Chronicles. However, these events lacked mention. Of course, the involvement of Abel’s sister was not something suitable for public records, and thus, that wasn’t exactly strange, but...

Having lost her guide, Mia was left with a vague sense of worry.

Chapter 24: Offense and Defense

At the Chaos Serpent’s dwellings, the High Priestess Valentina had led Citrina to the baths after concluding their discussions. Considering they were in an abandoned castle, this made for a bit of a surprise.

“Well, I suppose it is within the High Priestess’s power to have this prepared...”

Having found a suitable answer, Citrina disrobed and sank one foot into the water. Truthfully, she was averse to the idea of taking a lonesome bath in enemy territory, however...

“Well, they already had many opportunities to kill me if they wished.”

She took the offensive.

The face of her dear friend Bel was all that was in her mind, along with that of Mia Luna Tearmoon, the Empire’s Great Sage. There was a similar air about them. Citrina was sure that no matter what the situation, either would happily take a dip should a bath be something on the table.

I have heard that Princess Mia even bathed when she had been captured during the revolution in Remno...

The surface of the floor was rough, causing pain to her frail bare feet. It was much crasser than that in Saint-Noel.

“These stones seem to be the same as those that build the castle wall. Does that mean this bath has always been here...?”

From what she had seen on her journey here, the castle was uncouth, clearly built for war. So just why was there a bath here? Those doubts were promptly melted away by the thick steam coming from the water. Citrina was certain that the water would have been heated elsewhere before being taken to the baths, but it seemed that it was instead sourced from a natural hot spring.

“So rather than building this out of necessity, they built it out of convenience...but just where would there be access to natural water like this? I was told we were near the Kingdom of Remno, but...”

Citrina drew a map in her head as she examined the baths. The room wasn’t quite as big as the one in Saint-Noel, but it could easily fit four or five people with room to spare. The bath itself was also quite spacious, overflowing with warm water.

Three bottles were placed next to the spout for washing. All were labeled, revealing them to be...high-quality products! Citrina took the shampoo in her hand and then squeezed out a hefty dollop.

Now, this was not because she had just been insulted by the High Priestess. She had no interest in getting revenge on the woman who had called her smelly by proving her cleanliness. Was not so narrow-minded as to waste the whole bottle’s contents out of petty revenge. Instead, she simply wanted to...examine things.

“Yep, this really is of fine quality.
