She could feel a painful throb start in her head. Maybe another minute in the presence of the Moon Princess will make her faint once more. To even think that it could have been Laia, she shook her head as she took off her robe and lie again in her bed. The bottle she just bought just for an act now stands at the bedside table, giving off an invisible smoke around the room.
