Chereads / The Priestess of Rodona / Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

In the journey back home, Elvire didn't wake up at once in the whole journey.

So when they finally got home, Jaana took Elvire and went to take her to the bed before entertaining the guest.

So it was Levin's job now introduce their house to Falmir, which he took very seriously.

"Welcome to our humble house. First, let me show you your room. Then I will show the rest of the house to you." Levin said and took Falmir up to the stairs where most of the sleeping places were.

He slowly walked forwards and opened the third floor in the left and waved Falmir to come closer.

"This will be your room now. It isn't big, but hey, at least it has a bed." Levin said, and when Falmir saw the room, it wasn't the most luxurious one but comfortable looking room.

It had the bed in the corner of the room in a place where the person from the door couldn't see there as there was a wardrobe placed the front of it to block the view. Then there was a simple writing table and a couple of chests to store the visitor's personal belongings.

Falmir memorized the location of his room, and Levin started to show up the rest of the house.

"So up here we don't have anything else than sleeping places for everyone and couple storage rooms. So let's get back to down, and I will show the rest of the areas." Levin said and started to lead Falmir down to the stairs.

First, he showed Falmir the kitchen that he knew where to go and ask food. Then he leads him to the dining room, and when they were trying to go to the living room, Levin suddenly crashed to the pile of books that were in the middle of the road.

"Oh master, are you alright," Alper asked as he was up from his nap and heard the crash and immediately went to the living room to see his master in the ground surrounded by the books.

"I'm fine Alper, thank you for asking. But more importantly, why are the books in the living room?" Levin got up and asked from Alper, and Alper cleared his throat and said to Levin.

"Master gave me an order to bring the books in the house, but he also forgot that we don't have a study room or bookshelves yet for the books. So before I would store them away, I wanted to make sure where to store them." Alper finished his explanation and made Levin silent as Alper was right; he did exactly as he was ordered and delivers the books to the house. But before Levin could say anything, Jaana's voice was heard from the stairs.

"I just put Elvire to the bed, so if you could be a little bit careful and not make that much noise now. And Alper, thank you for bringing the books here, and it's going to be the last room from the right. Do you know the room that was empty and not used? I have Erik the list of what we need from the carpenter, and it's going to be our new study room. So before the furniture comes, we will store them there." Jaana finished and got down.

Alper bowed down towards Jaana and started to act with his new orders and moving the books up the stairs.

"So like my blind and clumsy husband was probably going to say. This is our living room; it doesn't have much in but a nice place to stay and spend some time." Jaana said, and she was right. 

There were just a couple of couches and armchairs where people could sit down and talk with each other. A table where you could serve the snacks and tea and other everyday necessities. Otherwise, there wasn't anything that important in the living room.

Falmir could see that they had money to live comfortably as they had this big house and so much furniture and space, but when Jaana introduced the bathing area to him, he was amazed about it.

"Welcome to the gem of our house, the bathroom," Jaana said and proudly showed up the bathroom to Falmir, who as appraisal master and Smith was amazed by the quality of the bathroom. There was a toilet that worked with magic and burned all of the leavings. A bathtub and working shower that had hot water from coming from it with magic again and a limited amount of water ad long as they remember to change the magic crystals. But that was not all of it, and there was this weird room that he has never seen before, and he asked about it. "What is that room there? As I cannot think anything at all for its use."

"Oh yes, we thought if we can spend one luxurious thing, it's going to be the bathroom, but that is actually what my father build, and I don't know where he got the idea from. Maybe one of his travels? But it's called sauna and when you warm up those rocks that are on that stove there and then throw water on it. It releases the vapored water and gives you a nice and calm, relaxed state. Especially in winter times when it is cold as the room temperature inside, there can rise pretty high. So we mostly use it in colder times as we, of course, have to buy all of the magic crystals to make our bathroom to work. And it isn't exactly cheap, but we don't spend on anything else, so it's on our budget."

Jaana explained, and Falmir wanted to know more about this mysterious room, but he would ask about it later he could test it out.

For now, they all retreated to the living room to have the afternoon snack and tea and wait up for Elvire to wake up.
