Comfort In The Bath

The princess was given one of the guest rooms to sleep in while the King returned to the palace.

As Mother had ordered, Katsuki was busy taking care of the princess as my guest, though I was a little worried about the fact that she had yet to wake up despite having been freed.

I was assured by the others that Tiara would be fine and just needed some time to rest. Maybe she'll wake up if I bring some cookies?

Katsuki then not so subtly suggested that I take a bath to calm myself by informing me that the bath was already prepared for me, probably as a way to get me to stop worrying about her and to relax.

I decided not to question it and just accepted the suggestion by going to the bath obediently.

There, I was expecting to see the usual group of maids who would be there to wash me but surprisingly, there was no one else there.
