Slowly, he started to regain his consciousness. He opened his eyes, slowly, only to realize he wasn't in that cell anymore. He was now in a more dimly lit room. He was lying on a more comfortable bed, covered by a velvet blanket. His nose was suddenly hit by a stinging scent, more like incense but mixed with a whole more herbs. He looked around and saw that the room was lit by nine candles, standing on a candelabra, on a table at the far side of the bed. The room emitted a strange aura.
"You are finally awake!!" somebody said. This time round,it was a female.
He looked around and saw the person speaking. She was the first person he had seen ever since he woke up in this place.
She was standing beside the bed, clad in some sort of blue outfit, holding her hands together. She looked like she was in her mid twenties, a servant in some way.
"Huh!!"he grunted, sitting up.
His head still hurt from the soup he had taken and passed out....
"You should be able to move around with much more ease by now!!" the lady said,looking at him,her eyes never left him.
He looked at himself and realized he was dressed in a crimson robe.
"Who are you??" he asked, looking at the lady.
"I am supposed to ask you that question!!Who are you??" the lady asked, sounding really interested.
"I...uh...I...uh!!I don't know!!!" was his reply.
"Oh really!!"
"Yes!!I know this is going to sound really crazy but I don't even know my name!!"
"Oh!!I see!!" was the polite reply.
"Who are you??" he asked, hoping the very least for a reply.
"I'm Esteria!!" the lady said,still looking at him.
She looked like she was very eager for his questions,the way she watched his every move.
"Do you know how I got here??"
"The Knights brought you back with them!!"
Judging by the look of surprise on his face, Esteria said"You will see them once you are finally well"
"What is your job here??" he asked,the least concerned.
"I'm one of the many servants!!" Esteria said.
"Don't you have anything else to do!!Or...."
"I was assigned particularly to you!!"
"So are you going to stand and watch me??"
"Yes!!" came the gleeful answer.
"Have fun doing that??"
He sat there trying to think through what was happening to him.
One second he woke up in a cell, someone showed up, another gave him some greenish soup and the next instant he was in a much comfortable bed, with a smiling lady to watch his every move. He wasn't a prisoner of war, definitely not, and at the same time not a royalty.
Suddenly,an idea flashed in his head. If he wanted to remember anything about himself, he had to.....
"Miss Esteria,should I ask you for something??"
"Please don't call me miss!!"
"Okay!!Okay!! Did I come along with something?? Like some belonging!!"
"I don't think so!!" Esteria said, trying to figure out something in her head.
"Can you please help me find out??"
Esteria eyed him with a doubtful expression.She probably was thinking he was up to something really out of order.
"I'm not going to escape!!" he reassured,with a playful smile.
"Even though you tried to, Anselm bound you to that bed with a spell!!" Esteria smirked.
What???Were there spells that imprisoned you to a bed in this place??Really??Why didn't they just leave me in that cell?? It was much more better than being locked to a bed.
I really need to know what this place is........
