Safe And Sound
Cordelia, now Colette, slowly opened her eyes. She found herself in unfamiliar surroundings. After the Royal Healer was called forth to check her and dress her wounds, she was put to sleep.
Laina, worried about the young girl, had stayed by her bedside the entire night, much to Colette's annoyance. While she wondered if the Crown Princess of Kinshearth might have discovered something was amiss, she was fairly confident in her own skills as well.
Colette poked Laina on the arm to wake her up. Moments later, the princess stirred awake.
"Oh Colette, you're awake," Laina said as she let out a yawn, "How are you feeling? Better?"
"Colette is safe thanks to you! Thank you, pretty princess," she replied with a plastered smile of cuteness.
