I felt a warm sensation spreading all over my body, a stark contrast to the agony of being burned alive by Liphiel's men. The sudden change puzzled me, and as my eyes fluttered open, I found myself staring at a white expanse.
No, it wasn't a ceiling. Everything around me seemed to be bathed in an ethereal white glow. I sat up, holding my throbbing head, trying to make sense of my surroundings.
"You are awake, finally?" A melodious voice rang out, sounding almost divine.
I turned toward the source of the voice and fell silent. Standing before me was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, surpassing even Khione in beauty. She had long, flowing pink hair that reached her curvy waist and captivating pink eyes that looked at me with genuine excitement.
