Author's note: this chapter is from Seraphina's point of view
---
After making sure I remembered the things from my dream I am about to write down in my journal, I frowned when I remembered what day it is.
This is the third day since Aldus left, and he said that he will be back in less than two. Should I be worried? I cheered myself with the thought that maybe he arrived during the night. I will ask the maids.
I forced myself out of bed. It's time to get ready for the day.
"Young Miss, may I come in?", Maria's voice was heard from the other side of the door after a quick knock.
Since the incident with Lazarus, Maria is extra-attentive toward me, and in this case, I suspected that she stood in front of my door and listened carefully for any sound that would tell her that I'm awake.
"Come in, Maria…", I responded.
