086. Sylvie lost!
Xinlai knew Aleya's personality; although she said that, she didn't really mean it.
"Since Miss Alaya is paying such close attention to me, why don't you stay here with me from now on? That way, you won't have to go through all that trouble."
Instead of being annoyed by Xinlai's warm invitation, Alaya smiled and said, "Oh, Your Highness is too kind. If I could live in this castle, wouldn't I become a princess?"
Xinlai smiled. "Alright, Miss Alaya, you probably didn't come here just to be polite, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Alaya paused for a moment, a fleeting look of disappointment crossing her face.
"Your Highness, it seems you've completely forgotten the promise you made to my daughter..."
"We agreed to try the medicinal bath. Since Your Highness the Third Prince is unable to spare the time, I have come uninvited."
After Eve's reminder, Xinlai finally remembered her promise to Aleya from half a month ago, and shook her head somewhat ashamedly.
"It was my oversight, Miss Alaya."
"It's alright... If Your Highness has time, shall we begin now?"
"Alright, we happen to have nothing to do today, let's do as Miss Alaya says."
Xinlai called Gordon over and told him to follow Miss Aleya's instructions.
The two left one after the other. Xin Lai leaned back on the sofa and rubbed her nose, feeling a bit of a headache.
Alaya's visit will likely attract the attention of the royal family, given the recent frequent political activities of Galund and Simeon.
And since Alaya is one of the political tools that Galund values highly, it will likely add even more trouble.
"Fine, we'll deal with whatever comes our way... Miss Alaya is only looking out for me, that's why she came to find me."
After all, it was Xinlai who agreed in the first place, so if he were to go back on his word and refuse at the last minute, it would make him seem like a complete jerk.
Just as Xinlai was pondering, a charming and alluring figure walked in.
"How are you? Are you adjusting well here?"
Xinlai glanced at Sylvie and asked casually.
"Hmm, it's alright..."
Sylvie placed her hands neatly in front of her lower abdomen, walked up to Sinlai, and stared at Sinlai with her big eyes, asking if she could sit down.
Xinlai shifted his position so that Xiwei could sit down next to him.
That's just how Sylvie is; she's easygoing and quickly accepted her relationship with Sinley.
Moreover, Xin Lai was the one who took her virginity, and Xin Lai was the only one who had ever touched her body, which made it even more inevitable for her to give her heart to Xin Lai.
She rested her head on Xinlai's shoulder, pressed her whole body against Xinlai, and buried Xinlai's arms deep between her soft and fragrant skin.
"Xinlai, although I know you are a prince, I also know my own identity..."
A hint of worry appeared in her eyes. "But...who was that woman just now?"
Clearly, Sylvie had inadvertently witnessed Sinlai and Alaya's meeting...
There's nothing we can do about it; these things are simply unavoidable.
To get closer to the Church of Light, it is necessary to manage the relationship with Alaya.
"What are you worried about?"
Xinlai gently stroked Xiwei's hair with one hand, while lifting the large steamed bun with the other and kneading it without any restraint.
"Hmph...aren't you being a little too blatant here...?"
Sylvie bit her lower lip lightly, letting Sinlai's hands knead and squeeze her, and her face slowly turned rosy.
"This is my castle." Xinlai flipped over onto Sylvie, controlling the ball with both hands from above.
"Who I do things with is entirely up to me, do you understand what I mean?"
"Hmph, hmph, I... ah... I know, I know..."
Xinlai glanced at the time and thought there should be enough time, so she pressed down on Sylvie's head to let her know who the owner of this castle was, and who the owner of her body was.
……
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask in the future, understand?"
Sylvie sat slumped on the sofa, her clothes disheveled, her chest heaving violently.
"Um……"
"Clean it up yourself, and come to the master bedroom tonight."
Sylvie nodded with a dazed look in her eyes, watching Sinlai stride away.
Soon, the medicinal bath that Alaya had prepared for Xinlai was placed in the bathroom.
Steam rose from the large wooden tub, filling it with a faint herbal aroma.
Xinlai stood to the side, and could still feel the slight magical fluctuations flowing in the water.
"Your Highness, if you are ready, you only need to take off your shirt to go in and soak."
Xinlai glanced at Aleya, then at the medicinal bath.
"Miss Alaya, are you going to watch me take a bath?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of shyness and panic flashed across Aleya's face, but she quickly regained her composure.
"A doctor heals the heart, regardless of gender. By staying by my side, I can better observe the progress of the medicinal bath."
Xinlai didn't mind, nodded, and then took off her shirt, revealing her muscular upper body.
Alaya tactfully took Xinlai's clothes, folded them aside, and watched Xinlai walk into the medicinal bath with a blank expression.
"call……"
The temperature of the medicinal bath was very high. Xinlai felt a slight stinging sensation on her skin the moment it came into contact with the bath, but due to her extremely strong physical condition and the influence of magic, it was still within the range of tolerance.
He slowly lowered his body, leaving only his head sticking out.
After staying in the medicinal bath for a long time, my skin started to feel uncomfortable, as if countless ants were crawling on it, causing itching and pain.
"How are you feeling..., Your Highness?"
Seeing that Xinlai's expression seemed a little off, Aleya asked with concern.
"Hmm...does the water temperature for a medicinal bath have to be that high?"
Alaya was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
"Your Highness, I used cold water..."
"cold water?"
Xinlai looked up at the rising steam around her and her skin, which was beginning to turn red, and then looked at Aleya.
"Yes... this is a normal reaction that occurs when entering a medicinal bath, Your Highness, there is no need to worry."
"so……"
Xinlai didn't think any further, closed her eyes, and tried to enjoy herself while blocking out the pain.
Sure enough, after soaking for a while, the itching and pain on Xinlai's body began to disappear slowly, replaced by a heat that emanated from within.
It's like the pores all over your body are forcibly washed open by the medicinal bath, and in the process of exchanging special substances with body fluids, something indescribable is constantly enhanced.
Just as muscles relax more easily, bones become stronger, and the affinity and perception of magic become more acute...
You have gained one free attribute point.
"?"
Xin Lai was stunned when she saw the system panel that suddenly popped up.
Good heavens... I gained a free attribute point from a medicinal bath?!
It turns out that Alaya wasn't exaggerating the effects of the medicinal bath; it really can enhance the user's talents!
Because of the system, this improvement is quantified.
If he can soak in it every day and gain free attribute points every day, wouldn't he have permanent proof and become invincible in the world someday in the future?
Xinlai opened her eyes and looked at Aleya with admiration.
However, Alaya's face turned red for some reason, and her eyes darted away slightly.
