Lumine and Yelena were inside an opulent, royal-style bedroom filled with rich reds and golds. In the center stood a large four-poster canopy bed, carved and gilded, with deep burgundy drapes hanging from the frame and matching bedding and cushions where Yelena sat. At the foot of the bed was an upholstered bench in the same red fabric, with ornate gold legs and trim. To the side stood a small chaise in the same style, where Lumine sat.
The walls were covered in patterned cream-and-gold wallpaper and decorated with framed classical paintings. Matching bedside tables with gold detailing held elegant lamps with white shades. On the right side of the room stood a luxurious dressing table with a large ornate gold-framed mirror, small drawers, and a cushioned stool. A vase of flowers and decorative items rested on top. Seated on that very stool was the Count.
"Do you understand what I am trying to say, my daughter?"
"...Yes, I do, Coun— I–I mean, F–Father...!"
