The next morning, Blair regained consciousness. Her green eyes stared at the ceiling above her and she was aware that she was back in the castle, her home, and her room.
She felt a sharp pain burning in her arms and most especially her head but she tried to suppress it as she sat up on the bed.
Helen noticed that the princess was awake, she moved closer to her and began to inquire, "Good morning your Highness" She started, not forgetting the proper etiquette of greeting the princess first. "How are you feeling now?"
Blair looked up to meet the gaze of her maid, she opened her mouth to reply but nothing came out of it. Instead, she felt a burning pain in her throat. "Water" She managed to cough out those words.
Helen moved to the table to spew water from the jug, she then handed it to the princess who gulped it down. Helen patted her back gently.
