The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace

＜ The level of magic tools in this world… ＞

* * *

Having a small body is uncomfortable in many ways.

What is easy for an adult to do becomes the most difficult, high-difficulty action in the world for a child.

Like a baby bath, for example.

I couldn’t give the princess a bath last night.

There were so many things rushing at once that there was no time to do it. I was tired too.

But in fact, it is as urgent as eating.

The baby’s body was red with rashes and even inflammation was formed here and there.

It made her body hurt just by looking at it.

I wanted to clean it quickly, but I couldn’t clean it properly. You can’t wipe it off just because your urine is dry and twisted.

If his body was a little bigger, he would have been able to do something properly.

However, it was too much for the small body now.

However, it is even worse to leave the filth-stained body unattended.

As a result of thinking over and over again, the conclusion Rudy came to was that he went into the water, washed quickly, and came out.

It will hurt a lot if it comes into contact with water, but it is best to wash it off with warm water.

It looked like it would be difficult to remove the adhering feces without doing so.

However, it is difficult for a four-year-old to bathe a baby.

Difficulty rating is 6 out of 5 stars.

I thought about asking a nanny, but I’ve read somewhere that bathing was taboo in the Middle Ages.

Seeing that there was also a public bathhouse, I don’t know what it would be like in reality.

Still, I thought it would be difficult to get help, judging from the fact that I hadn’t bathed the baby until now.

If you bring up the word for no reason and run into strong opposition, it becomes difficult.

It would be better to enforce it when the nanny is not around.

But baby bathing ran into trouble from the start.

It was difficult to bring the baby into the barrel.

What Rudy found was a wooden barrel large enough for one child to reach out and reach. I wonder if it was a container for vegetables or something.

It was also low, barely reaching Rudy’s neck when he was sitting on it.

I thought this would be enough for a bath.

But the child’s legs are short. It was difficult to go through the barrel.

Besides holding a baby?

It’s hard to even balance.

By the time I managed to get into the tub with the baby in the mood of mountain climbing, I felt like I had accomplished something great.

The water temperature seems just right.

I want it to be a little hot, but if it’s not this much, I’ll catch a cold.

Originally, all buildings of this era are like that, or this mansion is poorly constructed, and the wind blows through the walls.

Because of that, even with the heating, it was cold on the side of the food storage that was far from the central stove.

Rudy lowered himself to the bottom of the wooden barrel with the baby in his arms.

The baby is startled when he suddenly touches the water.

Rudy propped himself up against the barrel, not fully seated.

Fearing to catch a cold, the baby is still wearing his shirt, but Rudy is naked.

My body trembled.

When the warm water touched my buttocks, it became a little fat.

The baby’s feet touched the water with the hem of the shirt wrapped around the princess.

Perhaps it was the first time submerged in water, the baby’s body stiffened.

“…Huhhhhh”

The baby’s mouth started to move.

Now the feet have barely touched the water, but already the baby is terrified and is on the verge of wailing.

Rudy was embarrassed and lightly ran his hand over the baby’s back.

I’m going to die trying to move my hand with my back on the barrel. The thighs supporting the baby’s weight seemed to cramp.

She wondered if she might be crying right now, but the princess barely held it in.

As I stroked it several times, the hem of my shirt gradually got wet.

The wet cloth floated in the water.

Rudy reached under his clothes and dabbed the baby’s legs with some water.

Slowly…so that the baby is not startled…slowly…

Making sure the baby wasn’t crying, Rudy lowered himself a little further.

hahahaha, now that my butt is in the warm water, I feel like I can barely live.

The baby was also submerged up to his thighs.

The princess is startled.

Rudy reached under his clothes and gently stroked the baby’s back.

I could feel the dried up vertebrae sticking out in the palm of my hand.

It’s so dry that if you put a little force on it, it looks like it’ll break apart.

My nose got cold.

Rudy sniffled and softly soothed the baby.

“are you okay. It’s not scary. It’s just water. You haven’t touched the inflamed area yet, so it doesn’t hurt, right? Now, now, no pouting! If you cry, your mother will wake up and there will be another commotion, princess.”

Perhaps because he kept talking, the princess stopped on the verge of crying and hugged him tightly. It seems to hang on for fear of falling into the water.

I was choking.

“What kind of power is such a trade…”

Rudy murmured, pouring warm water on the baby little by little with one hand.

After a little adaptation, lower yourself down again and sit on the floor.

As Rudy’s body touched the floor, the baby was submerged up to his buttocks.

When the inflamed area touches water, it seems to be painful.

Finally, a loud cry is heard! echoed through the air.

Despite the loud cries of the baby, Bhimama did not wake up.

It was only then that I thought that maybe I had taken a sleeping pill or something.

It was hard after that.

Anyway, Rudy wants to wash up and go out, and the princess wants to escape after making a life-and-death decision.

After spending time not knowing who the winner was, what remained after the bath was a sea of water soaking the floor.

I thought it was good because the food warehouse was almost empty.

Outside the window, which was already dark, was brightly lit.

Rudy lay down in front of the central fireplace with the princess.

The floor was covered with a cloth found in the magic tool room.

I didn’t want to lie down on a dirty rug after taking a long, clean bath, so I squeezed all my strength and brought it.

I didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger any more.

The baby looks tired too.

With dried tears on his chest, he wheezes and falls asleep.

The princess put on his last shirt.

‘Wouldn’t someone wash the slave’s clothes?’

It’s like Bimama’s clothes. Someone might collect and wash them, but they won’t even do it for slaves.

The thought of doing laundry with this body made me feel pathetic.

When the nanny came down, Rudy, exhausted, fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

Down one stair, oh, down another stair, then hi, and with a sound, the nanny slowly came downstairs.

Rudy quietly set the sleeping princess down on the floor and headed for the stairs.

I’m a little confused on how to say that I activated the magic tool.

I was a little worried about how the nanny would react if she found out that she possessed magical powers.

Looking up from downstairs, the nanny was coming down, bent over, staring only at the stairs.

Have you ever accidentally fallen down the stairs?

After the last two steps, the nanny looked at him reassured.

“I don’t know if you slept well last night. Aren’t you cold?”

The nanny smiles, wrinkles her eyes.

“It was a bit cold at night, but it was fine. Today, I took things out of the magic tool room on my own, is it okay?”

Oh, and my tongue was bitten again.

I was a bit ashamed.

When is this guy’s tongue getting longer?

Whether the nanny didn’t listen well, or maybe she thought it was natural because she was a child, she didn’t react much to it.

Rudy might be the only one who cares about the child’s pronunciation.

“Okay. are you okay. You can use whatever you like here. I don’t know what it’s like in other places, but it’s only Bhimama here. Nobody says anything because you are a slave.”

The nanny came down the last flight of stairs breathing hard, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

“It looks like you got a lot of strength today. The house seems to be hot for some reason.”

The nanny put her hand on her waist and headed inward.

“There is a medicine to take on days when Bhimama is excited. It’s supposed to calm your nerves and make you sleep better, so let’s have some in our tea. I will also tell you where it is, so be careful not to accidentally eat it.”

“yes.”

The nanny, who had been walking slowly, suddenly stopped.

“No, why is the heating running?”

The nanny looked back at Rudy, perplexed.

“Honey, did anyone come from outside by any chance? No, in that case, why don’t you call me? I need a few things.”

“… uh… that’s…”

The nanny didn’t listen to him and went over to the fireplace. Something seems a bit happy.

“Hi, this one has good firepower. In the meantime, I was barely able to heat the area around the fireplace, but maybe an excellent sorcerer came to the imperial palace.”

“…”

I have lowered the firepower a lot in my own way, but if this is strong, I don’t know how much more I have to drop the performance.

No, it’s a problem before that.

I need to know if he purposely brought a low-performance magic tool to harass her because of the non-mama’s residence, or if the general performance of magic tools actually used in the imperial palace is that low.

Nanny looked into the fireplace and saw Rudy happily.

“Honey, I think it’s because of you. I wonder if the chief chamberlain took care of you when he sent you away. It went really well. Last winter, it was so cold that I had a really hard time.”

“···I···.”

“Ah, the other magic tools… no, you don’t know I’ll go and see. I’d like you to replace the back and water magic tools…”

“Nanny!”

“Yes, yes, wait a moment. I’ll just check the magic tools and listen to your story.”

The nanny was busy moving while grumbling that she was sick.

Rudy doesn’t give her a chance to speak.

Looking at the [light] placed in front of the food pantry, the nanny smiled happily.

“Looks like that came too.”

He came closer and began to chant an incantation in the imperial language.

“Listen, Spirit of Light! Rather than asking you, burn your body to dispel the darkness and share the bright light.”

long. Besides, it’s tacky.

If you make a command like that, the meaning is far from the original [light].

Of course, the effect will not be good.

just as expected.

When Rudy turned on, it became bright in an instant like turning on an electric light, but this time it was so slow that I didn’t know if it was activated or not.

At first, the magic tools that didn’t seem to respond gradually began to emit a soft light.

very slow

The light gradually brightened, but stopped at about the light in the basement of the Duke of Watoringu.

‘···.’

The light in the underground passage was about as bright as an emergency exit.

At the time, I thought it was because it was in the basement, but it was a different shape.

In this world, [light] magic tools originally could only emit this much light.

Well, if the order was like that, it would be natural.

But the nanny seemed very happy.

After making sure the lights were working properly, the incantation to turn them off was similarly very long and clumsy.

“…”

Rudy glanced at the sleeping baby.

He sighed weakly and raised his head.

For a moment, I thought that if the reality was like this, I shouldn’t have activated the magic tool.

But he soon changed his mind.

This environment is too harsh for people here, especially babies.

The apartments on Earth and this building are completely different, and the wind blows through the walls.

At first glance, it looks like there will be no gaps because the thick bricks are tightly attached, but the wind blows through just like the one in Jeju Island.

A baby is a baby, but Rudy himself, who has lived as a modern man, seemed difficult to endure in a place like this.

‘I would have had to heat it in the winter anyway.’

The same goes for water.

There is no running water in this building.

There didn’t even seem to be a well nearby, so someone celestial would have to deliver the water.

I didn’t ask, but the nanny probably used water sparingly.

The nanny gave a low scream as she entered the food pantry.

“Muh, water! water is!”

Oh, you saw the water on the floor.

It seems that he misunderstood that he spilled the saved water on the floor.

Rudy shrugged and went inside the food pantry.

The nurse lies on her hands and knees on the floor.

“Nanny…”

The nanny looked at him with a crying face.
