บท 49: Ruthless Alessio (Ch.49)

Neveah awakened feeling extremely well rested and rather refreshed, her eyes fluttered open only to be faced with a worried looking Laila staring down at her.

"By the Creator, Princess! I was so worried!" Laila exclaimed in relief, her voice unnecessarily high pitched.

Neveah blinked in surprise before the events from the past day came rushing back to her and she lifted a hand to her ears.

"The bleeding already stopped last night Princess, it's such a relief to see you awake." Laila said in a tone of relief.

'Is it, really?' Neveah thought to herself although her expression remained unchanged and she even permitted a small smile.

She wondered if it would be too harsh to clarify to Laila that she lifted a hand to check her ears due to her loud screaming and not because of the poison at all.

However Neveah decided it was probably for the best she kept that to herself.

"What happened?" Neveah croaked out, her throat feeling dry and hoarse.
