Chapter 61: 61: A new start [pt2]

"Elysia, how are you feeling today? You know that you don't have to go to the academy tour if you are not feeling up to it, right?"

Lucas sounded worried about her and that warmed Elysia. But she also understood why he was so worried about her.

After that midnight encounter with Victor, Elysia had locked herself in her room and refused to come out yesterday.

She might have said that she was to do anything yesterday and people had bought it. They had likely felt too sorry for her to even confront her.

Only Sora had dared enter her room but her familiar had known the real reason Elysia had locked herself in her room. The marks on her arm where Victor had gripped her had been too vivid.

A day had not been enough to heal them fully even with the help of magic and potions but it had lightened those marks enough so that no one would ask questions about where they came from.

Especially not if Elysia hid them well with make-up and other accessories.
