'It seems I made it back without even noticing ...' she thought.

Laying her sister's body on her bedding, she looked at her form for a few minutes, gently touching her cold cheeks, before stepping out of the room, making her way down the corridor to her lord's room... It was the middle of the night but she went to see him anyway.

Stopping in front of the door she announced herself :"Milord, sorry for disturbing you at this late time but it's important..." He noticed that her voice was not normal, weak and trembling, so he gave her permission, " It's ok, I'm still awake ..."

seeing her covered with blood only made him frown as the scent of it overwhelmed the room. "what is it Miyuki, you didn't even bother to wash the blood, what in the world happened at your village?"

"My apologies, milord ... I was lost in my thought the whole way back here so I forgot about it... I ... I have a request, milord. I recovered my sister that I told you about ... but, it seems I was too late ..." holding back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes she announced the news to him.
