"Hah... Hah... Hah..."
Evalyn was panting as she opened her eyes. The dark ceiling of her room greeted her.
"That dream..."
She rubbed her face, which felt strangely dry.
"What was that? Why did I dream about something like that?"
It was the first time she'd ever had a dream like that. It was strange and... kind of creepy.
She sat up, grabbed a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.
Once she had calmed down, she leaned back against the headboard and closed her eyes.
She tried to recall the dream, but something felt strange. It was as if the entire dream had simply been erased from her memory.
"What exactly happened?"
She opened her eyes and pressed a hand against her chest.
She felt as though something was missing, but she didn't know what it was. The feeling grew stronger by the second, leaving her increasingly troubled.
Suddenly...
"Young Lady, there's a visitor from the imperial palace. He wishes to see you."
