Williams Family’s Eldest Daughter, Alicia (Age: 16)
When I woke up, I was near a waterfall.
Apparently, I had fainted in that field of flowers. Kushana must have brought me to this place.
As I gazed at her, who I could see clearly, I realized again that my left eye had come back,
…it wasn’t a dream.
As I stared at Kushana in a daze, she then greeted me.
“Welcome back.”
My eyes were back, and red around my eyes. That probably gave her a general idea of what was going on.
Those were the only words Kushana spoke. Her voice was so gentle and reassuring.
I smiled and said, “I’m back”.
My body was exhausted, as if it had used a lot of magic power. I must have reached my mental and physical limits.
I felt sluggish and had no strength to get up.
“You should get some more sleep.”
Kushana said that and gently placed her hand on my eyelid. I accepted her words and closed my eyes.
Normally, I would not fall to sleep like this.
I would have just let myself get pumped up and blow off the drowsiness.
With that thought in mind, I drift off to sleep once more.
Sleep was wonderful. It helped restore my strength and magic power.
When I woke up again, I was fully restored. I could afford to fake my feelings.
I put a lid on my feelings. I locked the door tightly to prevent my feelings from overflowing. I would not let anyone know.
I got up from the bed and changed into the clothes that were placed at the end of the bed.
I wondered if Sheena had left them there for me….
“Excuse me,” I heard a voice called out.
Just as I was thinking about Sheena, she appeared.
Was she watching me? Wasn’t the timing so perfect that I wondered if I was being watched?
In fact, she must have read my presence. Since she lived so deep in the forest, she probably had a better sense of the environment than us.
“May I come in?”
“Yes.”
I answered as I finished dressing and folding my clothes. She politely walked into my room.
“Are you feeling all right?”
I was a bit at a loss for words as she spoke.
It was only a short time before my eyes returned and I felt uncomfortable. By now I was used to this clear, wide field of vision.
I was somewhat sad about that.
“I’m fine. Thank you.”
I smiled at her, faking my expression.
The heat around my eyes had gone away. My eyes must have calmed down after sleeping all day. Besides, I felt light.
…and hungry.
No matter how painful and sad things may be, you could still get hungry.
That feeling reminded me that I was a person and a living creature. Feeling alive, I looked at Sheena.
“Where is everyone?”
“They are outside. Everyone was so worried about Alicia-sama that they were about to go inside, but the Queen, Kushana, stopped them.”
Sheena’s words made me realize that Kushana was taking care of me.
Kushana understood that I was a woman who did not want to show weakness to anyone. I wanted to be strong at any given moment.
She knew this, which was why she made sure that no one could see me depressed.
It was Sheena who came inside to ensure that I could make myself comfortable after I woke up.
Kushana’s kindness was something I could not fathom.
I could tell from just a little involvement that she was a person of character who was adored by everyone.
“Would you like to go outside?”
Sheena asked, with consideration of my feelings.
