Next morning in the castle...
Selene woke up feeling drained. Her body barely had any strength for it was still trying to produce more blood. She could still move though. It was not like too much of it was taken away from her.
"You woke up pretty late today," Queen Narissa's voice had Selene look to her side.
With creased brows Selene grunted air from her throat, "I am sorry mother, it looks like I am not feeling well. Do not worry, I shall get ready soon." She lifted herself off the bed on her elbows and her body was barely supporting her motivation. The queen immediately came to push Selene back down. Her hand rested on Selene's forehead.
"You have quite a fever," the queen exclaimed, "take rest today, dear. I will have Rosalia here to look after you."
