The Demon King's Paladin Part 1 Vol 2.

Chapter 357. Hot Spring Questioning

" Haaahhhh..."

" Dad, I get it, but seriously, we've been in the spring for 10 minutes already."

" But... Lu... It's so comfy..."

Les was enjoying the hot spring as Lucas was a bit embarrassed at his father's demeanor melting away. The eyes in Les's body were currently wiggling all about as they all seemed to relax like they've entered rem sleep. Les isn't the first one to relax after hitting the water here in the spring. King Leonard also acted like he was getting massaged by the heat of the water. Les seemed to follow in King Leonard's footsteps. As for me, I'm used to hot baths and the like, really the novelty of the hot spring is what attracts me to using it, The tension draining of my body is also nice. My Wives and the women of the mansion like it because of the benefits for their skin and the like. I'm just glad that Emily was able to put together this bathhouse so quickly. I asked what she wanted for a reward, but she told me that she was working something out with Sarah and Anna... And for some reason Ruby and Charlotte were also involved in those discussions for some reason?

" Lord Matthew, can you help me out here?"

Lucas called to me, but I doubt I could actually help with anything, it's not like Les and I have a relationship where I can just pull him out of the spring for something like embarrassing his son.

" What would you have me do exactly?"

" Just... Something..."

Lucas had a look in his eyes like he just wanted his father to stop appearing so sloppy in the spring, I don't know why though, we closed the bathhouse to the public for this afternoon so we could all take a dip after lunch. At first this was just to wash off the sweat we had from exploring the town, but now with the light sparring as well, it made the dip into the springs make even more sense.

" Are you sure about that?"

I ask Lucas one more time, because I know I do have a way for Les to tense up, but I don't think it's a good idea now that he was finally able to relax, but since we're the only people in the male bath, I could ask a question I've been wondering about since I agreed to take on Lucas as a subordinate. Lucas looked back at me and nodded his head, so I shrugged my shoulders and asked the simple question that was on my mind.

" Les, has Lucas's reports on me answer the questions you had about me? Or do you have anything you'd like to ask me since it's only us 3 here right now?"

" !"

Lucas looked surprised at my words, I asked if he was sure, now he's slightly panicking. I really hope he wasn't this easy to read when I had him snooping around Bittersoul. Les on the other hand did focused up and looked at Lucas with a look of disbelief.

" Since when?"

" Since I arrived here. He's not a fool, Father. Isn't this town proof of that?"

Les looked like someone who's hands were caught in the cookie jar, but I wasn't really upset with him. I suppose I should explain since I'm just sitting with a neutral expression on my face right not.

" I should also say, I'm not particularly angry about being spied on by you, I understand why you would want to make sure about me. I just want to clear the air now, Lucas has been here for a little longer than a year, I'm sure he's informed you about how I treat Anna in relation to Sarah as both of My Wives. Is there anything that dissatisfied you that you read about?"

I asked a clearer question to Les, he seemed to feel some kind of weird pressure bearing down on him. I could see why, I told Lucas just to do as normal, I guess to him that meant not reporting to Les that I knew he was spying on me. Since I had nothing to hide and I loved Anna just as much as Sarah, I didn't really see a point in acting any different around Lucas to " prove" anything.
