104 Fragility of True Love

Claire's POV

"You're awake, darling!" Seeing Louis opened his eyes, I almost dropped the cup I was holding in excitement.

"How do you feel? Do you want something to eat?"

"I'm fine." Louis rubbed his head and sat up in bed.

He looked a bit bewildered, clearly not fully awake yet. "How did I end up here? Has the ball ended?"

"He's been taken back to his own castle."

Louis stared at me, his expression determined. "And what about that forged letter?"
