That was the last time Elise ever saw Loriel from a crystal ball. She waved her hand and the luminous ball dimmed. Myrcella Leoralei, who busied herself with her journal, looked up and saw Elise got up from her chair.
"Are you done?" she asked her granddaughter. Elise nodded and forced a smile.
"Yes, grandmother. My head hurts. I think I was exposed to the sun too much today. So, I will rest now." Elise tried not to lie, so she mentioned her regular headache and her proneness to the sunlight.
Myrcella Leoralei got up from her chair and came to Elise. Her face looked concerned. "Are you okay? Do you need a potion to relieve your headache?"
"I am fine. Don't worry," Elise smiled. "I just need rest."
"Hmm.. okay." Myrcella didn't prolong the issue. She believed Elise because the girl had never lied to anyone. She was such a good girl. "You can go to your chamber and rest now."
