TRANSMIGRATED AS A GHOST

Lilia and Marcus shared a good long embrace as Lilia did not want to let go since it had been over three days since she last saw Marcus and she had been incredibly worried.

"Okay Lilia I am glad to see you as well, but we cannot hug forever, it must be getting close to diner time and I have not had anything to eat in over three days."

As if on cue, the second Marcus mentioned diner Lilia's stomach let out a loud gurgle agreeing that it was time for diner.

Lilia's face started to turn slightly red, and her stomach let off another rumble causing her even more embarrassment.

Seeing this Wade looked at his butler and said, "Freid, if you would not mind preparing diner for the three of us and make it something hearty since I myself have not had anything to eat since early this morning."

Freid bowed his head before saying, "As you wish sir."

Freid then walked off towards the kitchen thinking about what he should prepare for his master and his guests.

With Freid gone it was now just the three of them and Marcus finally realized something. Unlike Mrazivy's manor this place was incredible still and quite.

In Mrazivy's manor their were many maids and servants moving about, but in Wade's manor it was completely still as if their were no other people in the house other than the four of them.

And as almost definitive proof Wade said, "Since Freid is busy I will show you to your room myself."

Wade then moved towards the staircase that led to the second floor and Marcus along with Lilia followed behind him.

As they walked Marcus kept his eyes out for anymore servants wanting to confirm his suspicion that Wade only had one person taking care of this whole house.

Soon Wade stopped in front of a door and opened it to reveal a room that would be about the size of a master bedroom in most houses.

However, for these noble houses even a room of this size was only a guest bedroom.

Looking inside Marcus found that there was a large bed easily a king size, as well as a desk, nightstand, and numerous lounging chairs.

'Damn, I am never going to get used to how big the rooms are for the nobles in this world. This room is close to the size of the apartment I had back on Earth, and it is only a guest room.'

Wade then looked at Marcus and said, "Go ahead and look around and when it is time for diner Freid will come and get you. Until then I will be resting in my room, so you can explore around or talk to your sister in the meantime."

Having showed Marcus to his room, Wade took his leave and went back to his own room to rest until diner.

With Wade now gone Marcus turned towards Lilia and asked, "Lilia how did you end up here last I saw you were still in the refugee camp."

Lilia looked up Marcus and said, "A few hours after you left, mister Wade came looking for you since you were supposed to meet up with him that morning but did not show up. He managed to track me down and ask me where you went, but I told him I did not know. And when I told him I was your sister he told me to come with him and wait for you at his house."

Understanding the sequence of events Marcus remembered that he was indeed supposed to report to Wade that morning but had blown him off when he went of his foolhardy quest to assassinate the ice ant queen.

'Wade must have taken Lilia so that when I came looking for her, I would have to find him first. Now I really wish I had not tried to kill the ant queen since it would have saved me a lot of trouble if I had not.'

"Okay I understand what happened, so have they been taking good care of you here."

A big smile than creeped onto Lilia's face and she said, "Yep, while mister Wade has not been by in a few days, mister Freid has been taking good care of me. The room they gave me is nearly as big as our old house and the food is the best I have ever had. The bed here is also the softest thing I have ever slept on and I was even able to take a warm bath. Even the village chiefs house was nowhere near as nice as this place."

While Lilia was recanting her joyful experiences, a big smile appeared on Marcus' face since he was happy to see such a cheerful grin on Lilia since she had been through so much grief.

'Now there was one thing Lilia said that really got my interest.'

"Lilia you said you were able to take a warm bath, could you show me where that was."

Lilia looked at Marcus inquisitively and said, "Yeah I know where the bath is, but without Mister Freid the bath will not be able to be prepared. The bath uses some type of magic and apparently I do not have the skill to use it."

Nodding his head Marcus said, "Don't you worry, I happened to have the necessary skill to use it so if you would lead the way, it has been too long since my last bath."

Lilia then headed out the room and back down the hallway to the stairs and after going back to the first floor went down one of the long hall ways to a room with a large double door.

She opened the door reviling a large changing room that at the end had another set of doors.

A bit impatiently Marcus went to the doors at the end and opened them revealing a large tub that looked like a cross between a Roman and Japanese style bath.

Seeing the massive tub Marcus went over and looked for the controls and after a bit of investigating found two crystals at either end of the tub one red and one blue.

Marcus placed his hand over the red crystal and allowed some of his mana to flow into it and a slot on the side of the tub opened and water started coming out.

Looking at the water Marcus could tell it was already hot since their was steam coming off of it.

After he had confirmed that the red crystal produced hot water he went to the other end of the tub and poured mana into the blue crystal.

And to no surprise another slot opened on the side of the tub and cool water started flowing.

'Hm I wish they had put both crystals on the same side of the tub so I would not have to run back and forth to adjust the temperature, but there must be some reason they have it this way.'

Marcus spent the next few minutes painstakingly filling up the bath making sure to get the water just right.

Once the water was at the perfect temperature Marcus turned around to go back to the changing room and saw that Lilia was currently at the wash off station cleaning herself before getting into the bath.

Seeing Lilia there Marcus froze for a second since he did not expect Lilia to join him for a bath.

However, he quickly realized that he was still in Irene's form and the more time he spent with Lilia the clearer the memories he inherited from Irene became, and he could distinctly remember numerous times that they used to wash up together.

'I guess she just wants to connect with me like she used to with Irene. I did bath with my sister back on Earth when I was younger and as long as I stay in Irene's form it should be fine. Anyway, she really does feel like my little sister and it is not like I am really a guy anymore since I am more like a creature that is both and neither sex at the same time now.'

Getting over any inhibitions Marcus went back to the dressing room and disrobed before going up to the wash station and joining Lilia in cleaning off.

When he sat next to her Lilia gave Marcus a warm smile and continued lathering herself with the expensive soap that was provided in the bathroom.

To Marcus' surprise the soap was completely different from the cheap bar he had bought when he was buying general goods, but was surprisingly close to what he was used to on Earth.

'Now that I think about it, I am not the first or only person originally from Earth and I know at least one other has been in this kingdom. I wonder what technologies and other commodities from Earth have made their way here.'

While thinking of the effect other people from Earth may have had on Mirrion he continued washing his body and when he had finished got up and joined Lilia who was already soaking in the tub.

'Ah this tub is great, and the water feels nice. I suppose when I get to the capital, I will need to find a place for me and Lilia to stay and I have decided that it must have a bath like this.'

Marcus and Lilia soaked in the tub enjoying the relaxing feeling of the warm water while having conversation and deepening their connection with each other when they heard a knock on the door.

"Lady Irene and miss Lilia, master Ophiria has instructed me to come get you as diner is ready.. I left a fresh set of clothes out for the both of you and will be waiting outside when you are ready to head to the dining room."
