Chapter 427
Williams Family’s Eldest Daughter, Alicia (Age: 16)
When I woke up, I was near a waterfall.
Apparently, I had fainted in that field of flowers. Kushana must have brought me to this place.
As I gazed at her, who I could see clearly, I realized again that my left eye had come back,
…it wasn’t a dream.
As I stared at Kushana in a daze, she then greeted me.
“Welcome back.”
My eyes were back, and red around my eyes. That probably gave her a general idea of what was going on.
Those were the only words Kushana spoke. Her voice was so gentle and reassuring.
I smiled and said, “I’m back”.
My body was exhausted, as if it had used a lot of magic power. I must have reached my mental and physical limits.
I felt sluggish and had no strength to get up.
“You should get some more sleep.”
Kushana said that and gently placed her hand on my eyelid. I accepted her words and closed my eyes.
Normally, I would not fall to sleep like this.
I would have just let myself get pumped up and blow off the drowsiness.
With that thought in mind, I drift off to sleep once more.
Sleep was wonderful. It helped restore my strength and magic power.
When I woke up again, I was fully restored. I could afford to fake my feelings.
I put a lid on my feelings. I locked the door tightly to prevent my feelings from overflowing. I would not let anyone know.
I got up from the bed and changed into the clothes that were placed at the end of the bed.
I wondered if Sheena had left them there for me….
“Excuse me,” I heard a voice called out.
Just as I was thinking about Sheena, she appeared.
Was she watching me? Wasn’t the timing so perfect that I wondered if I was being watched?
In fact, she must have read my presence. Since she lived so deep in the forest, she probably had a better sense of the environment than us.
“May I come in?”
“Yes.”
I answered as I finished dressing and folding my clothes. She politely walked into my room.
“Are you feeling all right?”
I was a bit at a loss for words as she spoke.
It was only a short time before my eyes returned and I felt uncomfortable. By now I was used to this clear, wide field of vision.
I was somewhat sad about that.
“I’m fine. Thank you.”
I smiled at her, faking my expression.
The heat around my eyes had gone away. My eyes must have calmed down after sleeping all day. Besides, I felt light.
…and hungry.
No matter how painful and sad things may be, you could still get hungry.
That feeling reminded me that I was a person and a living creature. Feeling alive, I looked at Sheena.
“Where is everyone?”
“They are outside. Everyone was so worried about Alicia-sama that they were about to go inside, but the Queen, Kushana, stopped them.”
Sheena’s words made me realize that Kushana was taking care of me.
Kushana understood that I was a woman who did not want to show weakness to anyone. I wanted to be strong at any given moment.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
She knew this, which was why she made sure that no one could see me depressed.
It was Sheena who came inside to ensure that I could make myself comfortable after I woke up.
Kushana’s kindness was something I could not fathom.
I could tell from just a little involvement that she was a person of character who was adored by everyone.
“Would you like to go outside?”
Sheena asked, with consideration of my feelings.
