238 After sunrise (part 2)

Roxana stared at the bathtub with hot water and the towels and soap beside it on a stool. 

"Did you also bring this from the castle?" She asked. 

"Yes. I don't know how to prepare a bath." 

"And you said you could do more than the average person." 

"That I stand by." He said. 

She shook her head at him with a smile. 

He dipped his fingers into the water. "It isn't hot anymore. I think It is fine." 

She dipped her fingers as well. It was fine. 

He motioned for her to get inside. She dropped the sheets and stepped into the water before sinking her whole body into it. 

"Oh," she shuddered at the warm comforting feel. 

Alexander came to sit beside her on the stool. She felt a bit shy about having someone take care of her. She wasn't used to it. 

"This is the magical royal soap." He said rubbing it against the wet cloth. 

"Oh, no. Don't give uncle Ben and Fanny high hopes."
