The illusion collapsed that very moment and I was sent again behind the door. However, my heart was pounding harder as if being hit with many emotions and feelings of fear. What if Irina knew about the dream from the beginning? What if she manipulated me like those servants from before?
This is so confusing, but if she knew, she would never let me near the Duke. If she knew that he would be the one to send me to my doom, she would never allow me to stay near him. Even more, I knew she didn't like him, and sometimes she was rude to him, but she never prohibited me from seeing him. There must be something else. I should talk to her after this, there must be some explanation. I trust her, I won't decide on this without hearing her first.
At that exact moment, my mind stopped hurting and I could feel some lightness in my heart. Wait… was this some kind of test?
But, why are there some shadows on the side? They are not mine.
