Wow…

Julien decided to test it out. 

What's the favorability score of my mother?

[Assessing the favorability of the Player Eleanor Von Lichtenstein…]

[Ding!]

[Data cannot be assessed.]

[Reason: Favorability too high.]

"…" Julien was baffled. 

"Are you feeling better now, baby?" Eleanor's voice broke him out of his stupor. 

"Mhm…" Julien answered and broke the hug. 

Eleanor patted his head and said with a gentle smile, "You must've been really tired too after the tutorial. I know you might feel like resting, but you need to have food and take a proper bath. You smell too sweaty."

"Alright." He agreed. "I'll go take a bath first then."

"Hm?" Eleanor tilted her head. "You'll take a bath on your own?"

"Yeah…?" 

Wait… something wasn't right…

"Can you do it yourself? Mommy doesn't think so. Let mommy help you." 

[Ding!]

The moment Julien read those quest conditions, his body trembled and he screamed, internally. 

Fuccckkkk youuuuuu—!

Julien could not put up any resistance even if he wanted to. The quest penalties were too much.

Currently, he and his mother were still in the private chamber and she was standing in front of him, waiting for him to respond to her comment. 

Julien turned to look up at Eleanor. He couldn't help but say, "Mom, do you think this is a good idea?"

"Why would it be a bad idea?" Eleanor asked back. "Is there a problem taking a bath with your own mother? My dear, we've been doing it ever since you were born. There's nothing on you that mommy hasn't seen. You don't have to feel shy."

Julien's eyebrows twitched. "I am a changed person now and—"

"No." Eleanor shook her head and cut him off. "You're the same as before for mommy. You aren't totally an adult yet. Until you become one, let mommy help you."

There was no Julien could argue with such logic, because it was totally flawed and beyond his comprehension!

The quest stated that he had to take a bath with a beautiful lady. It could be anybody, so he tried to get away from this situation, but failed to do so. 

If he tried to get into a bath with some other lady, his mother was sure to give him an earful and be very sad for not trusting her. 

It's the system's fault. It wasn't my wish…

Once again, Julien conveniently put the blame on the system even though butterflies were fluttering in anticipation in his stomach. He wanted to have this happen more than anything, but morals…

He couldn't be seen as someone down bad. 

He was not a pervert, the system was!

Clearing his throat, he said to his mother, "If anything goes wrong, don't blame me, okay?"

Eleanor rolled her eyes. "What could go wrong anyway?"

She held his wrist and pulled him away from the private chamber. 

The two walked down the tall hallways of the mighty castle and went to Eleanor's bedroom where a sweet floral scent permeated everywhere. 

A beautiful maid joined them along the way, and to her, Eleanor said, "Sophie, get the bath ready."

"At once, My Lady." She said and went to the connected bathroom in the room. 

Eleanor made Julien sit on the bed and went to fetch some tea. 

The tea she brought to him was cold. Handing it to him, she said, "Have it. This will help you relax."

Julien looked at the blue-colored tea and wondered whether nobility in this world did this on a common basis or something. And was it just them or did the normal folks do it too?

Taking a sip of the cold tea, a cold earthy flavor spread through his palate. It left a sweet aftertaste and made him raise his eyebrows in amusement. 

Eleanor noticed that and smiled. She knew he would like it. As his mother, she had faith that her baby shared the same taste as her. 

The two had tea in silence and soon the maid came out of the bathroom, stating that the bath was ready.

"Let's go." Eleanor held his wrist and took him inside. She was holding him firmly, afraid that he might run away. 

Normally, Julien would've been really nervous and had his heart pound crazily, but right now, due to the tea, he was quite calm. 

He wondered whether this tea had magical properties or something. 

The bathroom was nothing like what Julien imagined it to be. 

It was less of a bathroom and more of a private Japanese onsen! 

There was a hot spring pond in a rectangular-ish area with natural flora and fauna around it. 

One section of the bathroom had showerheads, small flat top chairs, and small wooden buckets. There was a narrow passage on another end which led to the toilet and another passage that led to the changing, and another one that led him back to the bedroom.

Eleanor took him to the changing room, and for the first time, Julien saw what he looked like. 

There was a wide body mirror, covering one side of the room. On the other side was a closet filled with bathrobes and towels. Then there was a basket in the corner to dump worn clothes and a wooden shoe rack for the footwear. 

Though, all these fancy things were the least of Julien's concerns. 

What concerned him the most was his reflection in the mirror. 

Who the fuck is this handsome shota!?!
