I was glad to leave it all to the three of them, with a feeling of "do as you please."
It's just the best.
It's been so long since I've been treated like this.
"Madam, how is it?"
"It feels so good...…"
Laila, you're really amazing.
Being the top in practical skills is not for nothing.
I feel like I could fall asleep.
Now that I have married into the Lindvald Duke's family, I can confidently say that I am receiving the best treatment as a duchess. It's truly the epitome of being well taken care of.
My clothes were stripped off, and I was first put into the bath. The water contained some kind of milky bath agent, which seemed to be good for beauty, and it was applied thoroughly. The refreshing floral scent was delightful. Laila is leading the effort, and she is really good at this kind of thing.
Even when I was with the three of them, dressed in maid uniforms, Laila was the most knowledgeable about beauty, telling me to use this and that, and the order of care, which I found honestly bothersome, but if I slacked off, it was immediately noticed, so I did it seriously. After marrying into the Lindvald Duke's family, I didn't receive any care from the maids, so even though it was bothersome, I did it myself. But thinking about it now, I should be in a position to receive such care, and I can't help but think that power is truly wonderful. My half-sister from the earl's family had maids to do it for her, but now I understand. This really becomes a habit.
I couldn't see the point in dedicating my life to beauty to this extent, but if this is what it's like, I want it every day. It's incredibly relaxing and feels so good. Ah, this must be heaven... I thought while receiving the special treatment.
This is it, this!
This is the life I wanted!
Lately, I've been forgetting, but what I wanted was a life with three meals and naps, a life of indulgence. For some reason, the minimum standard of life was set to the minimum standard of the poor, but that's not right!
Who would aim for that when marrying into a duke's family? Well, I was living a better life than the minimum standard of the poor, but there was definitely something off!
Even Ragnar, who says that being able to shelter from the rain and wind is good enough, is questionable, and a husband who feeds his wife like livestock is also questionable.
Ah, that's why.
Those two seemed to get along strangely well. There must be something that resonates between similar people.
I can't understand it at all!
"Your neck and shoulders are quite stiff."
Laila is giving a massage. It feels good, even though it's a bit painful.
Ah, there! Ugh, it's effective.
"I'll also massage your scalp."
It's my first time experiencing a scalp massage, but it feels so good. It's like every pore is being washed.
"How is it?"
"It's the best...”
"Scalp massage is not often emphasized, but by relaxing the scalp, you can clean the pores and maintain beautiful hair. Also, it has recently been discovered that by relaxing the scalp, you can prevent wrinkles and sagging on your face. Although you are still young, it's best to start taking care of yourself early."
I see, I understand that.
If you try to fix things after almost dying, it takes a lot of time and effort.
By dealing with things early, you can prevent the worst from happening. This applies to both beauty and territory.
"Madam, which hair oil would you like?"
Any of them will do.
I feel so good, I might fall asleep.
While sighing in contentment, I choose one at random, and they apply it to my hair. Apparently, if you apply this and wash it off quickly, your hair will be shiny and smooth when it dries. It has recently become popular among women, and production can't keep up with demand. To have such things so easily, the duke's family is different.
By the way, Laila.
You know too much about this.
You really love this kind of thing.
It seems like you might open a beauty-related store in the city soon.
"Madam, please get out of the bath before you fall asleep and lie down here. You need to moisturize your face properly."
"Okay... Ah, and call me Reisha..."
My body is nicely warmed up, and my circulation is good.
Moreover, my body is relaxed from the massage, and I am completely at the mercy of these three. Even though I can take care of my body myself, they are wiping me down thoroughly with fluffy towels. Then, I was guided to lie down on a chaise lounge.
"It's a bit cold."
A cool substance is applied to my face, but it feels good on my heated body.
"Please rest for a moment."
I'll fall asleep even if you don't tell me to.
Good night.
