Bab 278: An old tale- Part 1

Music Recommendation: Reflections by Eamonn Watt

.

When morning arrived, Madeline woke up by the sound of the birds chirping outside the window of her room. Her head felt slightly heavy because of the lack of sleep she had. 

"Sleep some more," she heard Calhoun's voice beside her, and she turned her head to see him lying on one side of his body, watching her. 

The previous night, after both of them, had visited the Carnival's village and the cemetery, they had returned to the castle. Madeline couldn't remember when they reached the room or when she fell asleep on the bed. The last thing she witnessed and experienced had left her mind shaken. 

Madeline felt Calhoun place his hand on her cheek, caressing it, "Close your eyes, Madeline," he whispered the words to her, and like magic, her eyes turned heavy to shut close again.
