When Cyril opened his eyes, he was alone with Adriana. The girl was sitting far away from the bed he was in and seemed unhappy to be there.
"I saw something strange in my dream."
Adriana, looking down, immediately raised her head and shook it. She seemed interested in what Cyril had to say. However, she did not push him to tell her more.
"I saw Mother trying to get me to sleep. She said: My poor prince!"
Adriana's shoulders jerked in surprise. She looked like she was about to yell at Cyril, but looked around to make sure it was just the two of them. "Mother always says things like that! Two also called me The Lady."
Cyril did not answer. He looked at the beautiful ceiling of the room without blinking. It was a little sad that the character who should be enjoying all this was not here.
