Vivienne and Logan were led to a secluded backyard behind the villa.

The yard, much like the villa, bore the charm of rustic architecture.

Logan glanced around. Despite the quietness of the villa's backyard and the lack of visible onlookers, he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.

Changing his approach, Logan said, "We must be exhausted. Let's rest for today. Tomorrow, you can sort through the herbs we need, and I'll prepare a medicinal bath."

Logan gestured to his mouth, waiting for Vivienne's nod before speaking again, "Ms. Vivienne, did they plant surveillance in our room?"

Vivienne nodded, "It's taken care of."
