Lakeview Hotel – NYC
Lady Fortress floated aimlessly in a luxurious room.
The silken curtains sway gently with her movements.
The oversized shirt she wore draped loosely over her small, fragile-looking body. Her messy blonde hair spilled over her shoulders in soft, untamed waves, and the dull lights highlighted the uncharacteristic tiredness etched on her face.
Her usually sharp blue eyes were heavy-lidded, shadowed by a restless week.
It didn't make sense.
She was a Cortian, a daughter of the House of Alvonix, a being immune to fatigue in any ordinary sense. Yet, she felt drained, like her very thoughts were clawing at her sanity.
Her mind wandered back again.
The man in white armor.
『Mael…』
