30th July 1574
"... heretic!"
"Nobody leaves!"
"Close the mansion!"
A plethora of voices surrounded me as I slowly started to regain my consciousness. With the clear noises of argument and the tumping sound of someone locking the main gate with the huge slab of wood, my vision was steadily coming back, along with the wave of pain. Whether my life was still in danger or not, I would be stupid to expect the lack of pain upon waking up.
"Agh…"
A groan of pain managed to squeeze out through my lips, alerting everyone that I was once again conscious. Opening my eyes, I could see Elia's concerned face, with tears still trickling down her eyes.
"Mike… Are you…"
Btw, if you guys didn't notice so far, here is the explanation.
This novel doesn't earn. Its just how it is. That's why, rather than counting on some kind of miracle, I will just abide with the MGS system offered by WN, where doing 1500+ words/day for the current and next month will guarantee at leas a bit of the income for me. This is the true reason why I'm doing 1600+ words chapters right now, rather than going back to doing two chapters 1k long each.
