I stretched, savoring the cozy feeling of the mattress against my skin. It was almost impossible to get used to this feeling, even if I'd spent roughly two weeks in this castle. Needless, I couldn't trade this feeling for a thousand things in the world. Taking a big whiff of the air around me, I sluggishly opened my lids, exhaling softly as I sat on the bed with half-sleepy eyes.
I don't know how long I'd been out, but I felt oddly refreshed, and unusually lazy. All I wanted to do was slump back on the bed and have some more sleep, but the deepest core of my brain protested against it.
I looked around the room. There was no one in the room. Not even Amaris who was always in my room whenever I woke up. My only companion was the warm sunlight that peeped through my slightly closed curtains, which felt ridiculously absurd.
