Filina’s eyes, which had been neatly closed over her pale face, slowly opened.
Somehow she felt like she woke up after a long sleep.
She gazed blankly at the high ceiling, and then her gaze slowly shifted to the side.
“Miss, are you feeling better?”
Laura, who had been carefully wiping the sweat off of Filina’s forehead, asked with a worried look on her face. It was in Filina’s bedroom that she was lying.
She had a burning thirst.
When Filina’s eyes went to the kettle on the table, Laura quickly poured a glass of water and offered it to her.
“You know how scared I was when you suddenly collapsed? My heart is still pounding.”
Filina slowly raised her body as she heard Laura’s voice and swallowed a few sips of water.
She felt like she was finally coming back to life.
A small sigh escaped her lips as she handed the glass back to Laura, and she opened her lips quietly.
“Still, I’m glad I didn’t have to show that in front of Cecilia. You and Enoch would have gone through a bit of trouble for me.”
“Miss, don’t you remember anything?”
Filina’s face reflected strangely at Laura’s sudden question.
“What do you mean? What else happened after I collapsed?”
Laura’s face broke into a strange smile at her words. The way her lips were vaguely raised made it look like she had a lot to say.
However, when Laura couldn’t open her mouth easily, Filina asked with a look of frustration.
“Don’t delay, say it quickly. Did Miss Cecilia see me fall?”
“No, Lady Haley doesn’t know anything.”
“Then what on earth is it that you say I don’t remember?”
Laura, who was staring at Filina in silence, opened her lips with a twinkle in her eye.
“When the young lady fainted and collapsed, a Young Lord, who happened to be visiting Count Haley, caught you.”
“A Young Lord….?”
Filina’s face twisted as she listened intently to Laura’s words.
There were only five high ranking families in the Albar Empire in total, including the Debussy family.
If he was someone who knew Count Haley….
Somehow, she had an ominous feeling.
“I’ve only heard rumors. This was the first time I’ve seen him in person.”
Laura cupped her cheeks and mumbled a look she still couldn’t forget.
“Miss, don’t be surprised to hear what I have to say.”
Staring into Filina’s eyes, Laura spoke slowly.
“It’s Lord Henry Argeny.”
Worried that if Filina didn’t catch on, Laura said his name excitedly.
“Lord Argeny wrapped her large hands around your waist. He leaned your head on his chest afraid you might get hurt. When I saw it, I felt like I was watching a scene from a fairy tale.”
