Overnight

When her eyes got used to it. What she saw made her brows knit deeply, she was in a strange place. This was clearly not the bedroom in her house which always felt warm. She slept on a super big king bed. The room was walled in a bright pastel blue, almost the same color as her eyes, combined with white on every path, corner and frame of the windows and doors. A large cupboard is neatly arranged in the right corner. There is a work desk, as well as shelves arranged in zigzags on the wall. Modern and nice decorations are neatly arranged on each shelf. Her lips smile broadly. She really liked the atmosphere in this strange room, but it felt as comfortable as at her home. This room is not much different from the atmosphere of her bedroom. And she really liked it, bright, comfortable, and peaceful. This room was much more comfortable for her. She felt like staying in this room and didn't want to go out.

Her mind thought again of the word home, she jolted, she remembered what happened last night, she suddenly sat up in bed. What happened to her house, with the fire burning that big, she wasn't sure if the house was still intact, all that was left was scattered black rubble that used to be the comfortable house she had.

And all the events at her house last night flowed fast, like a waterfall flowing freely down the valley and falling into the lake, creating bubbling foam on the surface of the lake.

She remembered Vhaken, his bright red eyes, making her heart jump very high. 'Where is he now, what happened to him?'. The last memory she remembered was that the hot atmosphere turned cool, after that she didn't remember anything else. How could she be here. Moreover, she didn't see Vhaken's figure. Leigh was filled with anxiety and worry.

She rushing to get out of bed, but before she could lower her feet on the marble floor, and she was sure the price was expensive. But that's not the most important thing right now. Because the door to the room was opened, a person appeared who looked like a maid from her clothes.

The maid herself, seeing the shocked reaction on the woman's face in front of her, in her mind already knew that she would get such a reaction, this would definitely happen to anyone, if they woke up in a strange place. Without delaying, she just bowed her head once, then said "Good morning, Miss Quinn, you are awake. Let me introduce myself, I am Cora Ada, you can call me Cora. I am here to help you get ready and provide everything you need here." A wide smile appeared on her thin lips with bright red lipstick.

Another thing, in Cora's hand, she was carrying a white box, 40 centimeters wide with a ribbon tied on top of the box. Without waiting for reply, she walked in and placed the box at the foot of the bed. And then she straightens Her body stood straight, facing Leigh while giving her a sweet smile.

Leigh's eyebrows were knitted together, confused, and astonished, she didn't know what to answer. Her eyes stared at Cora without blinking. She looked polite, indeed all servants would be act politely. she thought at last.

Receiving no response from Leigh, Cora calls her "Miss Quinn?" Her voice was enough for Leigh to hear, who finally snapped out of her reverie. "Yes…"

Smiling faintly, Cora said "I will prepare a bath for you." After saying that, she walked towards the bathroom, before long she heard the sound of running water.

Leigh, who was still amazed by the situation she was experiencing, failed to ask Cora. Right now, she was the only one who could tell her, where she was, how she got here. Even if she could walk out, that didn't guarantee that she would be able to get what she was currently concerned about. She didn't know whose house this was, at least it wasn't polite to wander around carelessly without permit of the owner of this house, especially since she didn't know where to ask. For that she patiently waited on the bed.

A moment later Cora reappeared from behind the bathroom door with a happy smile on her small face but she looked firm in her temperament. She walked over to Leigh, who was still sitting on the bed. "The bath is ready to be used, Miss Quinn." She told Leigh, "Let me help you clean up."

Leigh was pensive when she heard Cora's last sentence. 'What does she mean by helping clean her up? If it's true', with thoughts like this, her eyebrows furrowed deeply, her eyes stared straight into Cora's brown eyes.

Seeing Leigh's reaction, Cora understood and could more or less guess what she was thinking. She is here on the orders from Kendric, who firmly gave her orders to ensure Leigh's needs are fullfil, no matter how small. As far as she remembered, Kendric had never brought a woman into his room, not once. Although the woman often comes and accompanies her master at various events held here. Moreover, she had never seen the woman in front of her at all, as long as she served and worked for her master.

Regardless, she just wanted to carry out her duties "Miss Quinn, are you okay?" she asked attentively. Without having to being forced.

"I, I can do that myself" Leigh exclaimed, spontaneously with her cheeks turn red. She doesn't need to know if what she thinks is true or not. Especially if it's true. It was a taboo thing for her to accept. So far, she has always taken care of herself. And that is a common thing that happens to every individual in general. This is the era of modernization. What Cora offers is for the era of the Kingdom, where kings, queens, nobles indulged in being served by servants, whatever they wanted. But not with her. She is an independent woman. Besides, she wasn't used to it, especially to strangers, whom she had just seen. Will see her femininity. No, that's impossible for her to do.

"Okay, if that's what you want, I will prepare other things, while you clean up, Miss Quinn" she said politely and patiently. She really understood Leigh's reaction, this was not a common thing to do in this modern era. Even though there are still some, they can be counted.

Then, Cora turned around and wanted to carry out her duties but get stopped. "Wait," said Leigh in a voice that sounded panicked and hurried. Cora turned back to face her, with a sweet smile still on her face.

For now, herself was not important to her. The most important thing right now is Vhaken, she doesn't know what happened to him. At a glance, what she remembered happened last night. He didn't seem like the Vhaken she knew. Something happened to him. For that reason, she really wanted to see what happened to him. Even though last night he wanted to kill her, he was still her friend. Whatever happened last night, there must be an explanation.

"Where is this place, I need to go back to my house" her voice sounded demanding, it could be because of the anxiety and worry she felt. Her body trembled, she knew that if she returned home, she wouldn't even be able to think further what happen to her house. Her eyes looked pitiful.

"For that, you still need to get ready yourself first..." Cora's words were cut off by Leigh's voice which now sounded clearly trembling.

"I don't care about that, I need to see my friends, now!" Not only was her voice shaking, but her body was also shaking violently. She was really worried about Vhaken right now. even Cora could see that. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, because she herself didn't know where her Master had brought the woman in front of her home came from.

"This is Yannick's village, Miss" said Cora, having no choice but to answer Leigh's question.

"Ya-yannick village" Leigh staggered back, did that mean she was in Yannick city, how could she be in Yannick, wait she thought to ask straight away. "How long was I unconscious?" if she didn't regain consciousness in a day or two, that might be the case, considering that the distance from Terrazen city to Yannick city was only three hours by plane.

"That I don't know very well Miss Quinn, Master gave the order, just this morning. It could be overnight" hearing Cora's last words, her eyebrows knitted deeply. If overnight, that means from midnight. Vhaken came knocking on her door at midnight. That meant that in just six or seven hours she had arrived at Yannick, which was impossible. Because there were no scheduled flights last night from Terrazen to Yannick, let alone, Yannick Village. Impressed from the word Village, it should be far from Yannick's city, how long from Yannick city to come here? how could she be here?
