"Miss Alyssane, you're awake," Emma said, worried.
Alyssane slowly blinked her eyes, confused, feeling a strange sensation inside her body. Something was odd, several things felt out of place, but she could not understand.
Emma helped her sit up, and Alyssane frowned as she moved. Her entire body felt immensely light. There was no sign of the former exhaustion, no burning pain twisting in her heart.
It was as if all her achings had vanished.
"What happened?" she murmured, lightly touching her throat.
Emma was not aware of all the details either. "I can't say… You seemed soundly asleep when I arrived, but the maid who brought me here looked very pale."
Alyssane was at a loss for words. She lowered her gaze, trying to remember anything from her feverish haze but her last thoughts only went as far as Kazmun bringing her to this palace.
