Chapter 88: At last, home - Part 1

I awoke with a soft mattress beneath me and a warm blanket wrapped around me. The sound of chirping birds and the quiet crackling of the fireplace pulled me from my dream, waking me up to a new day.

Ah, did I fall asleep on the way back? 

I sat up and took a glance at my surroundings. Where is this? It appeared that I had returned to the manor, but I was in a room I had never seen before. The other side of the bed felt cold, neat, and free of creases. I must have slept here alone. 

The room was quite big, bigger than my room. The walls were painted dark red, with a lot of dark-colored furniture throughout the room. It was kept simple and neat, leaving a lot of spaces empty. With the windows closed, one or two lamps were not enough to illuminate the room.
