Chương 217: MORNING DISTURBANCE

Iris woke up the next morning and found herself alone. She looked at the spot beside her and knew Cane had slept there last night because that side was slightly unkempt, but it seemed he left very early in the morning.

Iris couldn't recall his presence, because she slept throughout the night and didn't wake up at all. She was very tired after their long journey and had seemingly passed out the moment her head hit the pillow and felt the comfort of the bed after weeks of sleeping inside the shaking carriage.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned. She felt like she could continue to sleep until noon, but then Hanna entered the bedroom with a tray full of breakfast. Her face looked ecstatic to see Iris was up, as she giggled when she saw her hair. It almost looked like a lion's mane, as it framed her tiny face.
