Chapter 75

• Alex went straight to the main door of the wooden building, with the thick left arm of the Viscount on his shoulders. Anika made a smile at the Viscountess, and as they followed the two laughing men lost in their memories of old pranks, Anika asked, “Viscountess, is the swimming pool far from here?”
• “No, it's right at the back of this house, on the left side of the hot spring. It uses heated water, so it has to be near it. On the right is the sauna, which is where I am going first. I like to relax in all that heat. My daughters are crazy about the hot spring, so if you want to try that first, follow them. If you still prefer the swimming pool , ask the maid to guide you. We are first going to the changing rooms to take off these clothes."
• Anika smiled, thinking about where she should go first. When a maid signalled the women to follow her, a servant pointed with his open palm to a door near him, inviting Alex and the Viscount.
