Riona had been unable to sleep because her mind was consumed with worry for Florian. After hearing what had happened, she became desperate and attempted to escape multiple times, but each time, she was forcefully returned.
She even tried leaping from the window, only to find it sealed by the spell too, preventing her from extending her hand beyond the frame.
Just as she was reaching her breaking point, King Valentin appeared in her room. He suddenly took her out of the room and escorted her to visit Florian, but he acted like a prison guard, monitoring her every move.
Even as they walked toward Florian's room, she felt closely watched. Despite the surveillance, she complied without resistance. She was willing to endure anything just to see her brother.
Seeing Florian brought a rush of relief. At the same time, she felt despair. He lay peacefully, but he was injured and unconscious.
