𝓨/𝓷 POV-
After my encounter with that arrogant asshole, I came back to see Amber and her friend. They lived in a little cottage beside the blacksmiths- so I didn't have to walk that far, which was convenient because I couldn't take much more to be frank. Also, that must be why Amber is very close with Wagner, that's pleasant. (Though I don't think I could handle living by a sweaty workshop, the smoke, don't even get me started.)

When I entered the small cottage, I heard muffled noises and scrambling of objects. Concerned, I shouted if they were okay. Which Amber responded to,
"I'LL BE WITH YOU IN A MINUTE [Y/N]!"
And finally, I saw her again: hair ruffled, pyjamas slung onto her body lazily, bunny slippers squeaking as she dragged herself into the living room, greeting me once again.

Yet her usual personality faded into a much drowsy spiral.

A light blush covered her face, along with a light dusting of sweat... Next to her stood a much taller woman, dressed in a (quite- scandalous may I add) navy blue silk robe, quite close to Amber, glaring me down. She too, seemed to have a much more deep blush covering her cheeks also.

"Oh." I murmured, "I hope I didn't interrupt anything... My sincerest apologies." I nervously put my hand on the nape of my neck, rubbing it for reassurance.

"Don't worry [Y/n]! You're fine," looking at the floor said she. "You just caught me at a bad time! Pshshsh." She waved her hands frantically, whilst looking up at the taller woman.
"Isn't that right, Eula?"

"Ahem." She looked from Amber, to me, then back to Amber, then back to me. "I'm Eula Lawrence, from the Lawrence clan. Though despite me having aristocratic heritage... I-," She stammered. "I. I hope we can get along. But! Vengeance will be mine! I cannot believe someone with such ignorance to waltz into our abode and disturb us," She huffed.

"Vengeance?" Said I.

"What dear Eula here means. Well it's just what she says from time to time, don't take it seriously! You're last on the long, long, long, seriously long list she's got going for others... and now you're on said list!" Amber stated. "She doesn't mean it, do you Eula," She nudged into her shoulder, causing her to stumble.

"If you think so."

We somewhat managed to continue a normal conversation for a couple minutes, talking to each other about random subjects, and then I asked the two where I'd be sleeping. They suggested the spare room, which was next to their shared abode. Unfortunately there weren't any extra clothes to wear, but in the bedroom there were a lot of blankets, to keep me warm, despite the already warm weather.

"Guess I'm going commando." Lightly huffing to myself walking up the wooden, rustic stairs, which might I add were quite steep; to finally get to my new temporary bedroom.

I slept quite well. There weren't any disturbances within the night- which I was very much pleased about, though awfully surprised that they didn't...

I woke up at the crack of dawn, the sun looming through the curtains. Too bright to look at, yet too bright to look away. A relaxing sensation of peace, the feeling of falling, falling deeper into its blinding brightness.

And with that. A somnolent, dull, lethargic spell was cast upon myself again. Sending me off into the world of nothingness once more.

♖♞♗♚♕♝♘♜

Knock knock.

A gentle tap on the wooden door which sealed me off from the world of worries, gently opened itself to reveal a familiar face. Ambers eyes overshadowed me, and looked at me as if she'd seen a ghost.
