Gauiter and a white-bearded Roman soldier walked toward the palace.
Before they could see Kassia, they had to go through a disinfection process in which they were forced to take a bath using sulfur soap until the dirt from their bodies was completely removed.
After this, Einar gave them charcoal paste with mint leaf and some wooden toothbrushes to brush their teeth.
They followed the disinfection protocol, as they did not want to have a problem with a man who could turn an arrow into an explosive weapon.
When they were completely clean, some warriors entered the bathrooms and gave them towels because they had to cut their hair and beard because they had lice and nits.
Using silver knives and soap suds, they cut the two men's hair and beards until they were completely bald.
After finishing with the haircut, a group of slaves entered and inspected the heads of the two men.
