The following morning, Oriana opened her eyes, only to find Arlan peacefully asleep in her embrace. His condition seemed to have improved, and his complexion was returning to normal. Although she had managed to rest for only a few hours and felt tired due to last night's events and the use of her powers, she knew it was time to get out of bed, rather than continuing to sleep.
Oriana checked on Arlan one last time, a sense of uncertainty creeping in. "Seems like this time he's not going to wake up anytime soon," she mused. She stepped out of the bed, swiftly dressing in her clothes. As she gazed at the door, a thought occurred to her.
'Last night, they must have been waiting for him to return. I wonder what they did when the prince didn't return?'
She approached the door cautiously, cracking it open, and to her relief, found Imbert standing on the other side. She opened the door fully, ensuring no one else was present.
