In front of the landlord's carriage is Lucia's carriage, while Louis remains at the family's residence. Further ahead is a small guard team that stretches for twenty meters. After everyone takes their place, this long convoy finally sets off from the Vandura Family with the autumn wind.
Going to the hot springs to soak feet and help others
Apart from the towns in the territory, the team travels on mostly remote and uninhabited hilly mountain roads.
Poor Daphne, she never had memories of living as a human being, and she is extremely curious about the life of human beings. Now she spends all day looking at the vast fields and continuous green mountains. Even though she rarely sees them, after looking at them for two or three days in a row, she starts to feel bored.
On the way, she passed through a valley, and the loud noise of the waterfall excited her again.
"Sister, is there a waterfall over there?" She leaned on the window for a while and then turned to ask.
Miller lifted his head from the book, glanced outside, and nodded, "We should be at Almi now. There are many valleys and waterfalls on this side. I heard that if you go further upstream, you can even find hot springs."
Hot spring? Daphne looked at Miller with eager eyes and pouted, "Big brother, I want to go soak in the hot spring!"
Miller pinched her cheek with his fingers and smiled, "I really want to say yes, but that area is unregulated, and I don't know how many clean and usable hot springs there are."
"Then let's go and have a look. Maybe we'll find a hot spring to soak in."
After traveling for half a day, the convoy finally arrived at the hot spring area.
The hot spring is not surrounded by tall, dense green trees as Daphne imagined, but rather empty, with depressing colored rocks all around, with only a small grove of trees a little further away.
The guard, who had been ordered by Miller to scout ahead, ran from a distance and half-knelt down to report, "Master, there are no usable hot springs."
Miller turned his head and looked at Daphne innocently, spreading his hands in a helpless gesture.
Daphne sighed regretfully and took a step back, saying, "It's so empty here, I don't dare to go soak, so why not just use one at random to soak my feet."
Then there was a flurry of activity as the guards cleaned the area next to the cleanest hot spring, and Lucia placed the prepared cushions next to the hot spring. After playing with fountains at home for so long, this was Daphne's first time soaking her feet in the scalding hot spring water. Smelling the strange scent of sulfur in the air, she carefully removed her boots and socks, and gingerly placed her fair, tender feet into the water.
Some... should be said to be very hot. The hot spring water is much hotter than the bath water at home. Daphne looked at the red skin on her legs that had been scalded. If it were human beings putting their feet down, they might have been burned by now.
Lucia is quietly guarding her nearby, and Miller did not join her in soaking, but instead went back to the car to continue reading.
Daphne gently stirred the clear and bottom-visible hot spring water with her foot, gazing at the colorful and dazzling bottom of the hot spring. Her eyes wandered around the surroundings and suddenly landed on a corner of the distant forest.
She stared carefully at the brown object over there for a while, then turned to Lucia and said, " Lucia, why don't you go and help me get some drinks?"
"Okay, Miss." Lucia responded softly.
Watching her leave, Daphne called out again, "Oh, and can you help me make some small cakes? I know you can do it, please, Lucia!"
Watching the maid walk away gradually and disappear from sight, Daphne lifted her leg out of the hot spring water, stood up on the bank, and slowly walked to the nearby woods, holding her long skirt.
The worn leather item lying on the ground became clearer and clearer. It turned out to be a somewhat old and damaged belt, which seemed to have been discarded not long ago.
Realizing that their tracks had been discovered, the person hiding deep in the woods inadvertently leaked a hint of their presence due to nervousness, and this hint happened to be captured by the alert Daphne who was in a state of deep concentration.
She followed the trail of that hint with a sense of puzzlement, stepping barefoot onto the sparse grass and gravel, and ventured further into the depths.
After bypassing several trees, I was about to reach a huge haystack when the hidden person once again revealed themselves.
