Elis's eyelid twitched as she slowly regained consciousness from her slumber. Opening her blue eyes, the initially blurred surroundings swiftly came into focus.
A wave of bewilderment washed over her as she found herself in an unfamiliar chamber, her confusion evident on her face.
The realisation struck her when she noticed the familiar wall design, its pristine beige colour, and the chamber's well-appointed decorations.
She was in Gerhard's mansion, a place she knew very well. However, the circumstances left her puzzled.
As she began to move, raising her upper body from the cosy, luxurious bed, a voice broke the silence emanating from the side of the bed.
"Don't rush to get up. You might feel a bit dizzy and tired."
It was a melodic voice she instantly identified. Her gaze turned hastily towards the source.
Surprised by his presence, Elis glanced around the chamber again, attempting to make sense of this unprecedented occurrence.
