"Mr. Herag, will you continue to the late-night banquet or...?" Hu En caught up and asked with his head lowered.
Herag stretched lazily, "I'm going back to rest; I won't be attending the banquet any longer."
"Alright, then I wish Mr. Herag a good rest," Hu En nodded and smiled.
When Herag returned to his lodging in the palace, he found the two maids still waiting at the door.
"Does the master need a bath?" the maid asked with her head lowered.
"A bath?" Herag realized it had been days since he'd last bathed, and nodded, "Yes, you can go prepare it."
"Yes," a maid responded softly and then withdrew to make the preparations.
The room Herag stayed in had a large bathtub, which should be quite comfortable for soaking.
Shortly after the maid left, she returned to report at the door, "Sir, the water is being prepared; it will be ready shortly."
"Hmm," Herag nodded and lay down on the bed.
