Once the bubbles were in the bath, Cara hopped in the metre square tub with a small splash. That was Karl’s signal that it was safe to enter, and he settled in slowly, enjoying the scented bubbles.
"Oh, I forgot the washcloth." He muttered, annoyed.
"Here you go, Sir."
"Thank you."
Karl turned left and saw that Cara was floating belly up, splashing water on her belly fur and making happy noises that were making the maid laugh quietly.
"She really does love the bubbles. I almost feel bad about limiting the amount that I put in now." The maid commented.
Cara waved her front paw dismissively. She wasn’t going to be in the bath long enough to run out of these ones, she just wanted to smell like the soap. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"I’m sure she will be fine. If the scent fades, I’ll just have another bath run for her."
[Pure Luxury.] Cara agreed.
Of course, the tub in their apartment was a one touch operation, and it would fill with the preset temperature of water and selected bath products just by turning the tap on, but somehow it was more luxurious to order someone to press the button for you.
Before they got out, Karl scrubbed Cara down, and gently lathered her wings, soaking the smell of bubble bath into the Void Badger, who then ran off to the main room the moment that a towel touched her fur.
Karl accepted the bath robe from the maid with a bit of confusion, then realized that it was intended to be used as a towel, and they would pat you dry through it.
Very wholesome. Not at all likely to get him strangled in his sleep by Dana.
Once he was dry, he changed to one of Rae’s branded polo shirts and silk house pants with slippers.
The maid stared at him in shock.
"You have a set of system linked and bonded casual wear? How does that even happen?" She muttered, mostly to herself.
"They’re made by a Bloodbath Spider with her own silk. They naturally equip when they’re worn for the first time. Tell me, have you been tested for system compatibility?" Karl replied.
The maid nodded. "Just last week they came around with system linked rings, to ensure that none of us would advance and become an internal security threat."
Which implied that those who did gain a class were sent somewhere else. Probably not fired, as they wouldn’t want hard feelings or potential Elites running loose. But they were likely in the Academy or with the army instead.
There was a soft knock at the door, which was opened by one of the other maids to reveal a Palace Guard in full armour with his visor down.
"Monarch, you have a ... personal guest." The guard announced.
He was clearly unhappy about the situation, but there was resignation in his voice that said he had already tried and failed to stop it from happening.
"Please send them in."
