I woke up, reaching out for Dante, but he wasn't there. Even his clothes were gone. Sitting up, I saw a beautiful dress laid out for me. Only Dante would have picked such a dress for me. I sat there, confused, unsure of what had just transpired. Was Dante back to his normal self, or was it just an act to get me to have sex with him?
I got up, dressed, and headed downstairs. The function was still ongoing. I saw the king with Dante and decided to say hello.
"Ah, she's finally awake," the king said with a warm smile. "Dante said you needed to take a nap."
I forced a smile, still feeling uncertain about everything. "Yes, I did. It has been quite a long day."
Dante's eyes met mine, and for a moment, I couldn't read his expression. Was he the loving husband I had missed, or was there something more sinister behind his actions? I had no choice but to play along and find out.
