After a harmonious meal, everyone dispersed, casting me odd looks as they left.
I wandered through the castle in search of Lily. But despite my efforts, I couldn't find her. I did run into Lira and Lyra though, and we chatted for a while about the events that had unfolded in the palace during my awakening. However, when I asked about Lily, their faces turned crimson, and they walked away without saying a word.
Perplexed by their reactions, I pressed on with my search but eventually felt defeated as darkness settled over the sky. I made my way back to my room, and as soon as I opened the door, I was enveloped in a warm embrace. It felt like my head was nestled between two heavenly cushions.
"So supple and soft," I murmured, lost in the moment.
A sweet voice suddenly pulled me back to reality. "You're finally here, young master! What took you so long? I've been waiting for an hour!"
