The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the Count standing a few meters away from me, holding his sword with both hands, his right foot forward and his left foot back in a classic side-slashing position.
And behind him an old woman was holding the wounded Lady Lyria against her knee and wrapping a white cloth around the bloody shoulder of the unconscious Lady Lyria.
Seeing my eyes open, the count swung his sword at an extremely high speed, aiming to cut off my head, and his sword was filled with a white light. As I reflexively tried to dodge the blow, I realized that I had no support to steer my body. In fact, I was now floating in a sitting position several feet above the floor. The chair I thought should be under me was not there.
