Unaware of everything that was taking place in various places, Reina woke up the next morning as per her usual schedule.
Ever since she had arrived at this cottage, she had not woken up before sunrise as she did back when she was serving the King as his chamberlain.
Therefore, this morning as well, she had followed the same schedule and arose only after the sun was already away from the horizon.
As her drowsy eyelids fluttered open, Reina turned onto her side and stretched out her arms.
Just as she was about to pull the figure next to her into her embrace, she froze when she felt nothing there.
Her eyes widened in both surprise and panic when she realized that the spot next to her was not only vacant but it was also cold, indicating that no one had been there for a long time.
This discovery caused her to sit up in haste as she glanced around the room in hopes of finding Little Overlord but caught no sight of the chubby cat anywhere.
