The bathtub is finally finished. I decided to make it from copper as His Highness had a shit ton of it. Soraya was kind enough to paint a forest/mountain display to give sweet scenery to anyone who wants a bath.
Lightning: Zion, Your Highness, is this a bathtub?
Nana: The ground is soft like real grass!
Zion: This little doodad is called a faucet. Thanks to it, you won't have to haul buckets of water all the time.
Roland: And you won't have to change your bathwater every three days. Just turn this knob whenever you want to take a bath.
To demonstrate, Roland turned the faucet handle to let water pour out. To say the girls are amazed would be an understatement. For some reason, Lightning decided to taste some of the water.
Lightning: Where is the water coming from? It's really sweet.
Maggie: I wanna try some *Hoot*!
Nana: So do I!
Zion: I wouldn't recommend it, you'll have to boil the water first. This water can only be used to clean yourself.
Anna: Oh, this is the siphon principle, right?
Hummingbird: Siphon...principle? What's that?
Anna: In elementary Physics, it's said that when you connect two containers of liquid at different elevations with a tube, no matter what shape the tube is, under its own weight, the liquid will try to establish a level surface.
Zion: You know that water tower in the garden? There will be a continuous flow of water so long as it's at a higher elevation than the garden.
Roland: Ding! Points for Anna and Sir Zion!

Roland dives deeper into the siphon principle, drawing a diagram and formulas to give the girls a better understanding. We hear a scream and look to see Nightingale drenched from the showerhead. I give a chuckle and turn it off.
Zion: This is called a showerhead. It sprays out tiny drops of water to make it easier to give yourself a shower.
Lily: So you spent a week doing this just to make bathing more comfortable with Sir Zion's help? You really are a Noble who only likes luxuries and comfort.
Scroll: Lily!
Roland: It's alright Scroll. Pursuing comfort is one of the driving forces of humans, and I am no exception to that.
Lily merely scoffs, which is understandable. Scroll told me about her origins, being raised in an orphanage in Redwater city to be a servant for Nobles. She, however, was going to be sold off to the Church for being a Witch. The purpose wasn't to make money, but instead, to get the thrill of killing off any girls they didn't sell. Cara, the infected corpse I ate, killed him because being in charge of their lives made him feel like a King. The funny thing is that most of the girls were angry that their chance of getting adopted by a Noble was now nonexistent. Cara had to show Lily the graves to get her to see it was all a lie. Since then, she's been distrustful of anyone outside of her sisters. She occasionally talks to me, but mostly because she sees me as an older brother.
