Irene finally regains her consciousness.

Upon waking up, she felt a burning sensation on her back.

"Arhhh..." Irene let out a painful gasp.

A new fresh tears streaming down from her eyes, replacing the already dry tears.

It took a lot of her strength not to faint, as she bear the pain.

It is almost impossible for her to moved her body with such injuries on her back.

Irene brace herself as she force herself not to collapse.

Focusing herself to take a deep breath, Irene slowly tried to get up.

She looked around.

Irene recalled before passing out, Libby was worried about her condition.

Irene turn to look the wall connected to the cell beside her.

"Libby...Libby..." Irene called out.

Only silence filled the space.

"Libby..." Irene called out one more time.

Still no response.

A second later, just as she wonder, Irene saw Libby being dragged by the guards. Back into the cell next to her.

"Libby!"

She was shocked to see Libby injured condition. She looks so lifeless. It seems that Libby had gone through the torment, the same as her.

The guards then left, after throwing Libby into the cell.

"Libby!" Ignoring the lingering stinging and throbbing feeling on her back, Irene drags herself towards the wall beside her. She saw so much blood on the floor when Libby was dragged inside.

Irene let out her hand from the cell bar, trying to reach Libby.

"Libby! Are you alright? Talk to me!" Irene anxiously called upon her and waving her hand out from the cell.

Worried that Libby injuries is too severe.

"Libby!"

"Your...highness..." Libby voice sounded hoarse.

Hearing her voice, Irene sighed in relief.

"How...how badly are you hurt?" Irene asks.

"Nothing...that worth your worries, your highness." Libby said, trying her best to sound nonchalant.

But she couldn't help but let out a painful whimpered.

It struck Irene's heart, hearing that.

Even now, Libby tries to protect her.

"Libby, listen to me. When they asked you about the incident, just tell them what they want to hear, alright? You don't need to protect me. I want you to get out from here. You don't have to stay here with me." Irene began to instruct her.

"Forgive me...your highness. That's...is the only thing that...I won't do." Libby replied.

"Libby, I mean it. If you don't listen to me. I...I...will dismiss you! You won't longer need to serve me!" Irene threatened. Hoping to change Libby mind.

But Libby remained adamant.

"As you wish, your highness. But for now....let me remains here...with you. Till the day you're released. I will wait...then...you...can dismissed me..."

Her voice gotten weaker and slower. Irene didn't have the heart to argue with her.

"Libby...you're losing a lot of blood. I will called out for help." Irene finally decided.
