章 81: The Unwanted Guests

I woke up in my mansion, the soft morning light filtering through the heavy drapes. The familiar sight of my elegantly furnished room greeted me—a blend of comfort and austerity that reflected my persona. I sat up, the events of the previous night rushing back to me. The quest, the battle, the Queen. It was all so vivid, yet now it felt like a distant memory.

My morning routine was a precise affair. Every movement was calculated, every action deliberate. I picked up the enchanted razor, its edge glinting in the morning light, and began to shave. The razor moved effortlessly across my skin, a testament to its magical craftsmanship.
