"Luo... Luo Ang?..."
Sylvia was dumbfounded.
Why was Wu Yan here?!
No, there was a dinner gathering tonight. Oswald had probably invited Wu Yan too; Sylvia could still guess that much.
Bathing and cleaning oneself before a dinner with the Knight King's family was hardly strange.
But why had he come here while she was bathing?!
There was more than one bathhouse in Fountin City, and this one was reserved exclusively for the Knight King's family. Logically, Wu Yan should not have been able to come here.
Had she misheard?...
Unfortunately, the conversation that followed completely shattered Sylvia's hopes.
"Lord Luo Ang, the dinner is about to begin. You should hurry..."
"I know, so could you please leave first?..."
"Why?..."
"Isn't it obvious? Don't you understand that men and women should keep their distance?..."
"Oh my, does Lord Luo Ang not want this little maid to serve you while you bathe?..."
"Though that sounds very nice, isn't this a men's bathhouse?..."
"This bathhouse is rather special. Not only is it the largest bathhouse in all of Fountin City, but there's no distinction between men and women here, so please rest assured, Lord Luo Ang!"
"Huh? Then I won't run into women bathing inside later, will I?..."
"Since this bathhouse is so special, naturally not just anyone can enter..."
"Then it's alright for me to go in?..."
"It's fine!"
"I... I feel like this is a little risky. Why not take me to an ordinary men's bathhouse?..."
"Lord Luo Ang is an honored guest. How could you possibly go to those ordinary bathhouses?..."
"B-but..."
"Alright, Lord Luo Ang, just leave it to me..."
"...Fine, do whatever you want..."
Now Sylvia understood.
So it had all been Cosette's
