I pushed open the door to my dorm, feeling exhausted. The moment I stepped inside, I froze.
Gwyneria stood there, clad in her maids' uniform.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, closing the door behind me.
She pouted, crossing her arms. "You were attacked by a man-beast, my liege. Do you really think I wouldn't come the moment I sensed the danger you were in?"
I sighed, rubbing my temples. "You shouldn't have worried yourself. I can take care of myself, Gwyneria."
Ignoring my words, she stepped forward, her slender hands reaching out to inspect me.
Her fingers brushed over my arms, my shoulders, even tilting my chin up to check for any hidden injuries.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" she murmured, her voice laced with concern.
"I'm fine," I assured her, though I didn't resist her examination.
After a moment, she finally sighed in relief. "Thank goodness you're in one piece."
I walked past her and collapsed onto my bed, one arm flung over my eyes.
