[Ellie's P.O.V.]
Anton's idea was good and I didn't have any objections to it. However, while I could easily give the staff a day off, we needed a valid reason to make the guests leave.
I looked back toward Anton's office. It had already taken shape but I no longer had the mood to show it to him.
The pain I had been expecting eventually came but it started less intense compared to the previous times, most likely due to the pills the wizard gave me. I lay on the bed and curled up my body. As the pain grew, I started to bite my lower lip to prevent myself from making a sound. I thought of taking another pill, but I no longer had the strength to get up or reach for them.
