"..." I look around, feeling the uncomfortable bed my body has already gotten used to. I notice I'm in my room in the castle. Eve is here too. I even want to pretend I'm still asleep, but I've been awake for about 4 minutes now and I should get up.
Did I fall asleep at some point while Eve and Syl'Vyr were bringing me back? Or did I faint? I'm not sure. I was already exhausted before, so I must have passed out. It's all Arial's fault.
The magic she forced me to drink, coupled with who-knows-what she did to my body, left me completely drained.
"...?"
"Evelyn-sama, I see you're awake? After you fainted, we tried to bring you to the castle as you requested," Eve says, coming over to me as I stare at her.
"But after a few hours, a strange group appeared and forcibly brought us to the castle super quickly. You've been asleep for about 5 hours, and your fainting was fortunately just from normal exhaustion," Eve quickly explains the situation.
