The relationship between people is amazing.
If something is allowed for the first time, then it will be a matter of course for the second, third... Nth time.
Ever since Renn kissed Ymir for the first time in the city hall of Black Dragon City, in front of Young Master Frank, the relationship between the two had become a little subtle.
Although Ymir would feel a little strange in certain intimate actions, he didn't feel anything inappropriate.
It was as if the two had a tacit understanding from the first time they met. No one took the initiative to say anything, but they accepted everything naturally.
With her indifferent temperament, it is difficult to meet people whom she subjectively feels good about.
And Renn is not as passionate as the wealthy young men in the imperial capital who pursue her, but he is still pretty good. Compared with deep affection, she prefers the feeling that is as light as the spring breeze blowing on her face. It is more real when it is light and light.
... ...
Ren didn't expect that Ymir would agree to "spring" together.
Originally, he was just talking and asking casually.
This "Golden City Bathhouse" is indeed the most famous bathhouse in the imperial capital. It has the best hot springs that are directly connected to the underground springs.
Of course, this place is similar to the bathing place in Renn's previous life. There is a regular bathing pool in the lobby, and there are also private rooms for VIP private services upstairs.
And because of the world's open concept of gender, the largest public bath here has a mixed bathing custom like ancient Rome.
Ren also knew about the "Emperor's Set Meal" when he heard the hunters bragging about it. He heard that there were gauze waitresses who were good at all kinds of tricks.
Of course, Renn is naturally not interested in trying it (￣_,￣)...
He smiled and asked directly: "Why did you suddenly agree?"
Ymir didn't explain much and asked: "Isn't that what you wanted to come?"
She still looked like she didn't care about anything. She raised her eyes and looked at the bathhouse in front of her, and then said: "This is the family property of an imperial uncle of mine. It's not a bad idea to give it a try... "
Renn showed a hint of surprise: "Oh."
It is naturally relevant to use such a large building as a bathhouse in the imperial capital. I didn’t expect that it was opened by someone from the royal family.
Now that they decided to give it a try, the two walked over.
At this moment, watching Ren and the two walking towards the door, a charming female steward wearing a bathhouse uniform also walked out with a flattered look on her face.
Being able to be a steward in this place naturally means that you have developed the ability to recognize people.
The female steward recognized Ren and Ymir and respectfully welcomed them into the VIP passage.
"Your Highness the Princess, Lord of Rennes City, do you two want to take a bath?"
"yes."
"What kind of project do you two want to experience?"
"There is no need to arrange anyone, we can just do it ourselves."
"How about...arrange a private bath for you two?"
"good."
"..."
Ren was the one talking the whole time, and Ymir's aloof aura as a cold eldest princess in front of outsiders was so overwhelming that the manager didn't even dare to breathe.
The incident at Oma Academy was reported not long ago, so the manager didn’t expect to see the two rightful owners taking a bath in the bathhouse at this time
By the way...
With such a big thing happening, you two still have the leisure to come and enjoy the bath
As they walked along, the steward also fearfully speculated on the relationship between the two.
The manager is also a good person, so he naturally guessed that the relationship between the two was unusual.
But I am also very surprised that Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, known as one of the "two beauties of the Omar Empire", actually has a man
Ymir didn't say a word the whole time, letting Ren make arrangements.
From the manager's point of view, this was a complete acquiescence.
Okay, let's arrange a "private bath".
In fact, she didn't know. The reason why Ymir didn't speak was because she didn't want to say it. The second reason was that she had never been to a public bathing place and couldn't talk to him at all.
Just like people who have never been to a club, they naturally don't understand the difference between services priced at 388, 588 and 1388.
But thinking about it, it should be similar to the one in the palace, right
... ... .
The "Golden City Bathhouse" is larger inside than from the outside, and the decoration is magnificent. Probably because it is the property of the Spuglin royal family, many palace-style decorations are even used here. Various pure gold products, shining with golden light...
The further up the stairs you go, the more luxurious the decor becomes.
The steward led Ren and Ymir all the way to the top floor, where you can already see exquisite antiques and oil paintings by masters everywhere.
The steward resigned, and then the maid in very cool clothes led the two of them to the dressing room.
Not long after, Renn changed into a plain white bathrobe and came to an open-air bath filled with smoke.
The maid helped him take off his bathrobe and exited.
"Rich people really know how to enjoy themselves."
Ren looked around and saw that the bathing environment was indeed excellent. Not only is it luxurious, but the detailed design everywhere makes people feel very comfortable, and they will not feel restricted at all because they are naked.
And, the most rare thing is that this bathhouse is actually on an outdoor platform!
Here, you can see the sky when you look up.
The bathing pool is about 20 to 30 square meters, made of piled stones, surrounded by seven or eight stone lion sculptures, spewing hot water with billowing white smoke from their mouths.
Because of the ingenious design, there is no taller building on the side facing this terrace, which also allows this open-air assassination to have an excellent view overlooking the vast area of the imperial capital, while ensuring absolute privacy.
Ren got into the water, the temperature was beneficial, and he suddenly felt that his pores were soothed.
He soaked his whole body in the water.
Lying on your back in the bathtub, you can just see the sky.
The will of a transcendent will increase as the transcendent rank increases, but he doesn't know if it is because of the increasing secretion level of extraordinary hormones in the power system. Renn always feels that his restless desires are getting stronger and stronger.
While soaking, he felt that something was missing, and he wondered in his heart: "Did I get it wrong? Does a private bathing place mean that the location is very private?"
The steward just now was probably concerned about Ymir's identity, so the introduction was very vague.
But Ren also understood, and there should be some surprises.
What about the legendary mixed bath
Where is Ymir
It turns out that the "private bath" means taking a bath alone
Thinking about it, he laughed at himself with a half-smile: "But it's not bad to bubble like this."
Although extraordinary practice does not feel painful, the nerves are always tense. This is a rare time to relax.
However, it turned out that he really had no intention of being wrong.
... ...
Not long after his thoughts were extinguished, footsteps came from the door.
Ren's perception is now very keen, and the footsteps are very light. It sounds like two women walking over barefoot.
Then the two stopped, and one of them who was walking behind turned around and walked out.
Ren turned his head and looked over, looking at Ymir standing there in a bathrobe with a calm expression.
She was calmer than Ren expected.
In fact, Ymir sensed that Ren was here even before he came in. Although she had never been to a public bath, she understood the posture.
She still asked Ren, "Is this a mixed bath?"
Ren spread his hands and said with an innocent look, "I didn't know before, but now I know."
"..."
Ymir said nothing and rolled his eyes at him, which probably meant: It would be weird to believe you.
But it seems that they also acquiesce to this fact.
Even though he came, Ymir didn't see any intention of leaving on his face.
After asking, she naturally took off her bathrobe and placed it on a chair nearby.
There is naturally a vacuum inside, and all the ice-like skin is exposed to the air.
Standing proudly, her long and beautiful legs can be seen at a glance.
No matter how you look at it, Ymir has an almost perfect figure.
Ren smiled and blinked, never expecting that Ymir would be so indifferent to "mixed bathing".
Probably because they had spent time together day and night during the period of healing, and had seen everything that needed to be seen, so Ymir felt that there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Ren didn't hide his direct gaze, and watched with a smile as she raised her jade-like legs to test the water temperature, and then slowly walked down the steps to the bathtub.
The water gradually covered her calves, then her knees, then her thighs, then her hip line...
As if appreciating a perfect work of art, Ren watched the beautiful jade-like body in front of him sink into the water little by little.
Ymir's eyes were always elsewhere, his face was always calm, and he did not look at Ren.
After entering the pool, she also lay on her back beside the pool.
However, it was opposite Rennes.
The bathtub is big enough for two people to soak in half of it, with several meters between them.
The crystal clear pool cannot block any details. The beast's head spurted out spring water and flowed into the pool, creating bursts of white light and shadow on the water, allowing Ren to see it clearly.
Ymir was lying with his head up, seeming to be enjoying his leisure time.
No one spoke for a long time.
... ... .
Ren swam over consciously, and then lay down next to Ymir.
Not far, not close, about half a body apart. With a slight touch of your elbow, you can touch the smooth jade body.
Ymir kept his eyes closed, so it was not that he didn't notice it, but that he didn't care at all.
Ymir, like Kanosha, is in the legendary realm, the kind that Ren can't defeat with both hands. If you act too recklessly, you may not be able to eat hot tofu and will be beaten.
Renn looked at Ymir who looked calm and understood the intention of her move.
This is the property of her royal uncle's family, which means that the news of the two coming to have a bath will spread throughout the entire Omar upper class circle in a very short period of time. Their close relationship is naturally self-evident.
Ymir is a doer who talks little and always does everything quietly. Perhaps it's because she advanced to the Law of Ice, and her control over her desires has reached an almost "pure heart and asceticism" level.
It's almost impossible to get her to take the initiative on certain things.
Thinking about it, Ren said: "I'm back in the imperial capital. Are there many nobles and young men coming to bother you?"
Ymir, who was kicked out of the imperial capital by the old aristocratic group, is now definitely the most popular figure.
Ninety-nine percent of the Omar nobles now think that Ymir, the eldest princess, is the one in charge of Black Dragon City. That city is also her private territory.
Just like the father and son of Grand Duke House who visited the territory for exchanges before. The best way they can think of to make friends is "marriage".
To those old nobles, Ymir is a woman after all. Whoever marries her actually controls everything about the future of Black Dragon City.
However, Ymir did not respond to his obviously deliberately provocative question, nor did he open his eyes. He said calmly: "Don't think so much. If you want to have fun, just have fun quietly for a while."
"oh."
Ren's eyebrows raised, then he quietly moved his butt and got closer.
Ymir still had no reaction.
After a while.
"Want me to rub your shoulders?"
"..."
As expected, Ymir did not answer.
But Ren leaned over consciously, then patted her shoulder and motioned her to sit up.
Ymir glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't refuse. She sat up and exposed her entire beautiful back to Ren.
Ren reached out and squeezed her shoulder gently.
Probably because of the ancient hot spring bath, the skin is very soft and feels like foaming dough when pinched. But because she is a melee super and has tough muscles. Hmm... Overall, it feels surprisingly good.
Because the two of them were naked, they were already very close to each other in this position. Even if Ren deliberately kept it a little tight, their skin would still touch each other from time to time, and the ambiguous atmosphere was rapidly heating up.
And just when Ren's hand on her shoulder wandered a little dishonestly, Ymir suddenly spoke.
Her tone was still calm, as if she didn't notice Renn's "abnormality" at all.
Maybe he knew it and acquiesced.
"Tomorrow, probably during the court meeting, my brother will announce the news that Omar and Black Dragon City have concluded an equality treaty... At the same time, he will also announce that he will give the throne to Karen (the second prince)."
"oh... "
Ren's expression became serious as he listened to Ymir talking about business.
The old emperor's time is short, but he has done something good for Black Dragon City. Once the alliance is concluded, it means that Omar officially recognizes the status of Black Dragon City's "kingdom", which will greatly facilitate the future development of Black Dragon City.
At least ordinary residents will listen to the authorities and have a certain positive understanding of the "demonized" Black Dragon City.
However, the matter of passing on the throne to the second prince is not that simple.
Thinking about it, Ren said: "The missionary has the ability to change people's subconscious. I'm afraid your brother made this decision because of that 'spiritual suggestion'."
"Well... But it doesn't matter anymore. No matter who the position is passed to, the current situation cannot be stable."
Ymir had heard Ren talk about the mental abnormality he sensed before. Although she was also curious about why she, the legend, didn't sense it, Ren did.
But she didn't ask in detail and chose to believe Ren unconditionally.
What's more, only this statement can reasonably explain why there are so many believers of the Three-Eyed Evil God in Glory City in a short period of time.
"The political situation in Omar is in chaos, and no matter who comes, it can't change it..."
After all, it was the place where Ymir was born, so Ren couldn't say it directly: Omar will definitely collapse now.
He thought about it and added: "The most important thing now is to prevent the missionaries in Glory City from using their ability to change people's beliefs. We must find ways to prevent them from preaching..."
This is a tough question.
That kind of method of quietly changing people's beliefs can even hide it from top extraordinary people. This is the most terrifying thing.
If it weren't for his early discovery this time, the missionaries in Glory City would have spread the "evil god belief" throughout the two empires, and it would also be a devastating disaster for Black Dragon City.
Even Glory City was able to inform all humans in the entire Ice Ridge Wasteland with their divine beliefs without any effort.
Ymir also sighed slightly and said solemnly: "The missionaries in Glory City helped Karen fight for the throne. It seems that the high-level officials of Omar have been infiltrated by the cult. The situation on Sid's side is probably similar... It's just that Based on what we say as a family, I’m afraid it will be difficult to stop them.”
Renn also saw the strategy of Glory City, which was to corrupt some top nobles first.
Then the nobles spread their faith on a large scale.
Under this centralized system of lords, once the statue of the evil god is erected, the rights of the major territories are supreme. If they continue to spread, the civilians will naturally fall quickly.
"Evil God Belief" will spread like a plague.
And if the emperor of a country is a believer in the evil god, this will be a big deal.
Ren's eyes flashed with a sharp light and he said: "So, I feel that even if your brother has issued an edict, the second prince must not be allowed to inherit the imperial power!"
Ymir said nothing, obviously agreeing with this statement.
It seems like there will be big changes tomorrow.
