I returned home with my body trembling with fear. I decided to rest to calm myself down. The incident that happened just now really made my legs feel so weak. Remembering the sharp gaze from King Theodore earlier, I really wanted to cry.
I tried to think positively. I didn't want Amadea to feel my anxiety. After trying to distract my mind, I finally fell asleep due to exhaustion.
I just woke up when the door to the house opened. I saw Amadea coming back with a face full of blood. We stared at each other for a moment, and he handed me a bouquet of snowdrops.
"Amadea, what happened this afternoon?"
"I'll clean up first. You don't like it when I'm dirty like this, do you?"
I didn't answer, and Amadea immediately went to clean his body in the lake. I held my throbbing head. Maybe because I let myself fall asleep while my body was still tense? I didn't know, but it really hurt.
