Watching Kael with his bewildering expression, Hassaka tucked away her doubt.
It must have been her own delusion; she thought she had caught a whiff of the "scent of infidelity" on the young master, but it was so faint, hardly like that from physical contact.
Nor was it Miss Elanna's scent...
It must have been her own misunderstanding, after all the young master had said he spent a long time baptizing himself in the pond today.
Perhaps others had used that same pond water before him.
Damn it, just how clean was that pond water anyway!
With that thought, Hassaka became even more diligent in cleaning Kael's body.
The little maid was determined to scrub away the scent of any other woman.
"Before Miss Elanna arrives, I can't let the cheating cat get his chance!"
After cleansing his body, feeling refreshed in spirit and vigor, Kael returned to his bedroom and lay down, contemplating everything that had happened today, feeling that his entire journey was fraught with peril.
