Eloise's POV:
"You're finally awake."
I opened my eyes and looked at Jude, sitting beside me.
Yes, I should have known. I shouldn't have had any illusions about this. I sighed and tried to sit up. But the intense pain made me lie down again.
"This hurts so much." Finally, I had no choice but to look at the ceiling.
This made me realize that I no longer existed in any of the rooms I was familiar with. This was likely the manor where they had said they would exile me.
"Your body hasn't recovered yet. You should rest well." His voice was gentle, but it was emotionless.
I almost couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth but could only cough a few times with difficulty. I felt like my bones had been disassembled and then reassembled.
If it weren't for the pleasant scent that appeared before I fainted, I would not have been able to hold on until now. Thinking about it, I felt my face become hot.
