In the morning, when Ines came to the duke's chambers to wake Yu Qingyu up, as she did every morning since the delegation from the capital arrived, she was shocked to find the room bathed in bright sunlight. Not only the canopy around the bed, where Yu Qingyu was lying, still asleep, was not drawn, but even the curtains on the windows were left open, letting the morning sun in!
Ines rushed to quickly close them, ignoring the stinging sensation on her skin. Although she was not a powerful vampire, she lived and worked as a maid for long enough to get used to such discomforts. Once the room was finally dark, she moved to the bed to wake up Yu Qingyu.
