There was a faint groan It was soft, like she was afraid of anyone hearing her
“Uh…” Her eyes rolled underneath her eyelids for a while before she opened theained focus, and she let out a long sigh
“It’s the saested she had suffered froht Her body felt heavy, and her head felt dizzy like the worst kind of hangover Above all, her dream had been very unpleasant
the proper state of ’ adjusted her physical condition to its peak, but it had no influence on her mind And her mental condition depended on her state ofof theirin her current state and needed to pull herself together
Knock, knock Apoline forcefully pushed herself up and said, “Come in”
The door creaked open, and five native women quietly entered her rooe wooden tub big enough to fit a person, which was half-filled ater The re one approached Apoline and placed her hand on her shoulder own slipped down and revealed her soft skin And while supported on both sides, Apoline dipped her small feet into the water and immediately pulled thean to boil One of the native women inhaled deeply in surprise
“Don’t worry about it The teed it on my whim today,” Apoline said, and the native woe bubbles popped up frohed contentedly when she soaked in the boiling bath She felt as if everything that was pressing her doasbetter than a warm bath to wash away one’s worries
Apoline rested her head on the side of the tub, and the native woan to wash her hair After bathing for al the native women dry her off with towels Then they rubbed perfuht clean clothes for her to wear After putting every piece of clothing on her, they sat her down in front of the dressing table As she closed her eyes, they puther with a white hair band, the native women finally finished their task at noon By then, Apoline’s mood had fully recovered
“Hers Hefty pouches that she had prepared beforehand floated and dropped into their hands
“I a her hair band “It ht take a while, so consider yourselves on vacation”
The native wo precious food supplies by waiting on her
“I don’t knohen I will return, so come by every day after teeks Knock three times, and if I don’t answer, you can quietly open it to check if I’m here”
The native wo her command After they left, Apoline looked back at the reflection in theback at her Her face glistened withher supple skin, her eyebroere neatly trimmed, and her pink eyes sparkled like she had trapped sunset inside Awashed in daylight, her neatly arranged platinu sun
She was receiving luxury that most people wouldn’t dream of in a ruined world, but Apoline didn’t care for what others thought She simply had a different mindset What if Liber was in a dire state? What did that matter to her? She could always make her environment more livable A hero’s duty was to overcos better; in that sa space better, and she planned to turn the house she had picked upon arrival at Liber into a s Her new servants listened to her orders well, but they were still natives What she wanted was a subordinate To create her own division, she needed heroes she could oversee as underlings Given her personality, Apoline wasn’t going to just take anybody Their abilities and character had to ard, Ru Amuh was the perfect candidate to be her first subordinate He was handso this expedition, Apoline planned to build a stronger bond with Ru Amuh; she could always show that she had the ability to make him follow and trust her later And…
She looked at the ain and smiled confidently at her reflection Apoline ell-aware of how beautiful she was She had a beauty that anyone could fall for, and a hu—this hat her father had always told her A person’s appearance could also be a weapon After all, it was i the first ed by their outer appearance first This was the reason why Apoline had cared for her appearance this noon She thought she would leave a deep i Ru Amuh
‘Hm… Besides Ru Amuh, was there another hero that seeht of one ain?’ She could only re about that ditzy guy…?’ She wondered and recalled the dream she had
Apoline scowled and shook her head She couldn’t ruin her ain after she finally felt better It was the tiot up froht now The main character always arrived late, she told herself and leisurely walked

“Okay, lie doill wash your hair” And after rinsing his hair, she said, “I’m all done! Ta-da! Don’t you look much better and cleaner now?”
Chi-Woo nodded as Noel brought him a towel
“Of course Since you’re related to Lord Choi Chi-Hyun, it’s only expected that you are also handsoht up his brother in every sentence Still, he couldn’t deny her skills and was satisfied with his new haircut
“But it really is a worry,” Noel said while drying Chi-Woo’s hair Chi-Woo glanced at her through the mirror
“The expedition?”
“There’s that too, but I’irl from Afrilith”

“What can’t happen?”
“You knoith Lady Afrilith You must not even uys happen to s for one another, I don’t knoill face my Lord”

“Ms Noel”
“Yes?”
“Why are you even saying that?”
