>>6089822It’s more dreams about that Academy that you find yourself sleeping in. Not even dreams of the Inquisition that’s totally affecting more of your life right now. So why can’t your mind stop drifting to that wretched place! If its headmaster wasn’t a member of the Curia Regis, you’d have half a mind to get it shut down. At least that’s what you grumble about as you wake from those horrid dreams. But quickly, you shake them from your head. There’s no way the Academy can be mission going forward, no way at all.
As you rub the sleep from your eyes, you feel groggy but now overtly tired. Actually, you barely feel tired at all. Someone must have helped refuel your mana, a dangerous procedure for anyone, not an experienced healer or priestess. You feel a little sting that twinged with annoyance near your chest, the place where you stored that strange photo, but someone changed your clothes, so it shouldn’t be- It is still there. Ah, you should’ve guessed something from that strange girl wouldn’t easily be disposed of. Yet, as you fully slip into full consciousness, it dies down. It almost feels like a magic item in the process of being dispelled. Maybe because of your <span class="mu-s">repeated attempts to deny Alice</span>, it’s not being allowed in?
Whatever, you don’t like to think about that stuff anyway. As you look around your room, you see it’s rather dark but does not yet require a candle. Seems you’ve slept for an entire day. Your mother appears to be gone in her place, your servant’s bell and a note explaining to ring for an attendant to bring you dinner. Red’s still here, but now she’s moved to sit on a plush chair, reading a book in one hand and a bundle of cloth in the other. She doesn’t make any motion to recognize that you’ve woken up other than a glance and shake of her head. You’ll never understand how this woman, of all people, was allowed to marry the prince. It’s like allowing a commoner into high society, like Lyndale was allowed in the- Argh, curse that damn dream!
You need to do something to get those thoughts out of your head, but the question is, what do you want to do?
