After being unconscious for the last fifteen hours since her ungracious fall, Benedicta moaned softly as she slowly regained consciousness, "Mother?" She called out in a dry voice.
"Milady?" The maid, who was seated beside her, cried in relief immediately she heard her voice, and her mother, who was standing by the window, rushed to her side to confirm that she was awake.
"How do you feel?" She asked with a concerned frown as Benedicta tried to sit up.
"W-Water... I need... water..." Benedicta croaked out as she tried to adjust her eyes to the bright light.
The maid quickly went to drop the curtains and exchanged an alarmed look with Benedicta's mother.
Where were they going to get water from?
