"Ahhhhhhh!"

Audrey vented the embarrassment and regret in her heart for a while in the sealed bathroom. Only then did she finally calm down enough to start filling the bathtub.

Though she was very curious what the Perrdax family's "large bathroom" was like, since she had only just arrived, Audrey decisively chose the smaller guest bathroom, which gave her a greater sense of security.

She turned on the faucet and let the hot water continuously pour into the bathtub, using the sound of the steaming water to sort through her chaotic emotions.

Under the effect of her soothing ability, Audrey's emotions gradually settled. She sniffed the water in the bathtub and said with slight surprise:

"This water doesn't seem to have been heated by a boiler? Was it heated with magic? As expected of a magical castle."

Although Emperor Roselle had invented faucets and plumbing systems, he had not developed water heaters. Thus, whether in commoners' washrooms or noble households, people still used the relatively traditional method of heating water with boilers. The only difference was that even if commoners' apartment washrooms supplied hot water, it was only available during specific hours, while nobles simply had servants heat water whenever they needed it. In great noble families like the Hall Family, the boiler room usually had dedicated servants responsible for providing hot water twenty-four hours a day.

However, no matter what, as long as it was not water meant for drinking, it usually carried the strange odor unique to boilers. Even a wealthy family like the Hall Family could not afford to rebuild their plumbing system whenever there was a smell—after all, that would practically mean rebuilding the residence.

After checking that all the basic bathing supplies were present, Audrey found a stack of bathrobes labeled "disposable" in the wardrobe
