Vlad followed Alice, as she toured her around the castle, Vlad got quite a few weird looks from the servants and the residents, he had mud on his face, weeks of sweat, and no hygiene, resulting in a disgusting smell emitting from him.

"Yeah... let's get you a shower first, then we can tour the castle," Alice said after giving it a thought.

Vlad was rather pleased with her decision, as he also wanted to get rid of this smell as soon as possible, going from someone who showered every 2 days to someone who smelled like shit, Vlad didn't enjoy it.

Vlad entered the large shower room, he saw a large wooden barrel filled with clean water and a large bowl that was probably meant to scoop the water, he also saw a bottle of pink liquid, which was the soap.

As Vlad got naked, he was surprised to see a well-developed body, he had slightly visible six abs, but his leg and arm muscles were well developed, well this for sure is a pleasant gift, although Vlad wasn't fat in his previous life, he also wasn't muscular.

Vlad thoroughly cleaned himself, he was surprised to see a rather beautiful face, while previously his hair was dirty, now they were rather silky and a slight brown color has also appeared, coupled with his well-developed body, he was rather drippin out the wazoo.

Author's note: ('drippin out the wazoo' is a term, used to describe someone who is rather attractive or simply above other people in body, fashion, or other things.)

After Vlad was done admiring his body, he exited the bath, seems like Alice had already prepared his clothes, as he saw a blue cotton kimono, it was a huge upgrade from his previous torn and dirty clothes.

He quickly wore the clothes and found them rather comfortable plus he also liked the light blue color.

Vlad walked out of the shower room, he saw Alice was right there waiting for him, Alice was shocked as she saw Vlad, and it was visible on her face, she almost thought he was a whole different person before and after the shower.

Vlad also saw her surprised expression, suddenly an idea came to his mind, I can use my beauty to attract her attention and maybe even get some benefit and increase my influence, but he was quick to dismiss it.

'Now definitely isn't the time, first I need to get used to this place, my main goal should be to focus on cultivation and master the book Ria provided.' Vlad thought.

"Well... Vlad, you look like a different person, this sure is surprising, but you need to understand that beauty alone has no value in this world, now let's go take a quick tour and let me show you your room, it's almost noon." Alice said.

Alice gave Vlad a tour of the whole castle, the training ground, kitchen hall, the medicine shop...etc excluding the most important areas, where even Alice wasn't allowed to go, whilst touring Vlad got a lot of looks from girls, there were even some boys who were jealous of Vlad's beauty, but Vlad couldn't care less about them.

As Vlad was done with the tour, Alice took Vlad to a small wooden room, this area was rather separated from the main castle but wasn't too far away, these rooms weren't comparable to the castle rooms, but Vlad didn't mind, at least it was better than a street-side shack.

"Vlad you will be living in this room from now on, if you have any problem, just inform me and Kagae, we both live in the same room and it's the one next to yours, so don't hesitate to knock and call me," Alice said.

"Ok..thanks for the tour tho," Vlad said in a soft tone.

"Don't mention it, you are now part of our family, we have all accepted Ria as our master, it's natural we support each other, for now, go sleep, Ria has also asked you to visit her tomorrow," Alice said.

As Vlad laid in the bed, he was rather pleased with his day, he went from a no hope beggar to a nobels right hand, although he was still surprised at the whole events that transpired today, it was like a bizarre dream, the reincarnation, not being able to control his body, the bizarre event with Ria and how she made him his subordinate.

'It truly seems like a bizarre dream, but I am pretty sure it isn't, well I have more important things to take care of right now.'

Vlad quickly hopped out of the bed and took out the "Cultivation Theory" book.
