Chapter 287: Alaric

Aleksis finally regained consciousness half an hour later. Her head hurt and for some time she had to gather her thoughts to remember what had happened.

"Ugh... where am I?" she muttered. Aleksis blinked and looked around. It seemed like she was in a medium-sized bedroom. There was only one bed and a small work desk there.

A moment later she remembered what happened before she passed out. Someone told her that the Prince Siegfried she was looking for was already dead... That was so shocking that Aleksis could not help but feel extremely sad and collapsed.

The wait and expectations of eight years ended in a sad anticlimax...

Without being able to hold back, she started crying uncontrollably.

Aleksis was an expressive girl. She spoke bluntly, she cried and laughed so easily, and now she was lamenting in deep sorrow that her first love was gone.
