Volume 3 Chapter 54 Grandmother's Request
In the early morning, as the sun began to rise, Cain was curled up in bed, sleeping. The night before had been very cold, so he had slept in a tight ball. Unlike in his past life, he usually woke up at the same time without needing an alarm.
"Ugh, it's so cold. I want to sleep a little longer..., but I have to get up."
Crawling out of the warm bed, he quickly changed into the clothes he had prepared the day before. Even after changing, it was still cold, so he lit the small fireplace in the room.
Gradually, the fire grew larger. Cain warmed his cold hands by holding them toward the fire, then turned his back to the fireplace to warm up. After about ten minutes, he finally felt at ease.
"Finally, my body is warming up. I hope it gets warmer soon."
As his body warmed, his stomach began to growl. Wondering what breakfast would be, he headed to the dining hall.
"Good morning, Grandmother. Last night was quite cold—were you alright?"
When Cain entered the dining hall, Aisha, who had already finished her meal, was quietly drinking fragrant tea.
"Oh, good morning, Cain. Thank you, it was a little chilly, but I was fine. By the way, you're up early even though it's your day off? Did the cold wake you up?"
Aisha asked about Cain's early rising, smiling her usual gentle smile.
"Ah!? I forgot, I woke up out of habit."
"Hehe, you're a bit of a scatterbrain. If you'd like, would you like to chat with me? Or do you want to go back to sleep?"
"Yes, I'd like to chat with Grandmother."
"I'm happy to hear that. After breakfast, would you come to my room? I'll prepare some tea."
Aisha said, "See you later," and left the dining hall.
Cain slowly ate his breakfast, then returned to his room to get ready. Afterward, he asked a maid to check if he could visit Aisha's room. After a while, the maid returned and guided him there.
When Cain knocked on Aisha's door, he heard a reply from inside, "Come in," and the maid opened the door for him.
"Grandmother, thank you very much for inviting me today."
Cain greeted politely and entered the room.
"Welcome, Cain. Please, take a seat. Let's talk leisurely."
When Cain took his seat, a maid serving in the room brought tea. After saying "Itadakimasu," he took a sip. The tea had a wonderful aroma that made him feel good.
"It's delicious. This is the first time I've had such fragrant tea."
He smiled gently while sharing his thoughts.
"I'm glad you like it. That tea was ordered from the royal capital. I'm happy you enjoyed it."
Aisha also smiled as she watched Cain's pleasure.
Then, they excitedly talked about the Cobblestone conversion situation and the lunch they had in the Margrave Shield territory. Aisha appeared to enjoy the conversation, nodding happily along the way.
"You know, Cain. I'm sorry to bother you when you're busy with work, but could I ask you for a favor?"
After finishing their brief update, Aisha asked Cain for a favor.
"Lydia told me that you built a bathhouse at the Sanroze residence—one big enough for many people. Well, we have a small bath at our house too, but we don't have one where everyone in the mansion can bathe. Could you build one for us?"
"Yes, of course. I'll talk to the butler this afternoon. But I need to think about how to make the hot water, since we have more people than the Sanroze household. I'll consider it."
After enjoying an hour or so of chatting with Aisha, Cain left her room. Instead of returning to his own room, he headed to the butler's room to discuss Aisha's request.
