I opened my eyes, and I was welcomed by the familiar ceiling of my chamber. But as soon as I fully regained my consciousness, pain hit me like a thunderbolt. I feel sore everywhere. I'm surprised that I'm still alive. I lost count of how many times I begged him to stop. However, my plea seems like an invitation for him to go on and push me even harder. I don't even remember when my O**m started or when it ended. He's insatiable, and I'm not sure whether it's a good thing or not. "Hmmm..." A silent groan escaped my lips when I tried to move my body. "Please refrain from moving for a while, my lady. You're still weak." Elara immediately came to my rescue.
I started to panic when I realized what happened last night. Did Elara come while Lord. Titus was still in my room? But knowing that I'm still alive now, it seems like that's not what happened.
I stared at her, trying to guess what was going on inside her head. But Elara acted as if everything were normal, her demeanor calm and collected.
"W-What happened, Elara?" I asked bravely, needing to know what she knew.
"You caught the flu, my lady," she explained briefly, her voice steady and reassuring.
I felt a rush of confusion and suspicion. Was Lord Titus behind all of this? Did he arrange this story so no one would notice my absence? The thought made my pulse quicken. If he did, why would he go to such lengths to protect me? Elara continued her work, fluffing my pillows and straightening the blankets as if nothing unusual had happened. But my mind was racing, piecing together the fragments of the previous night. Titus had been so intense and so possessive. Now, here I was, being told I was sick with the flu. "Elara," I said, my voice more steady now, "did anyone else see me like this? Did anyone else know I was unwell?"
She paused, considering her answer carefully. "Yes, my lady. I already sent a word to Her Majesty that you're not feeling well; hence, you can't attend yesterday's morning breakfast."

Elara paused in her work, her eyes meeting mine with a mixture of concern and calmness. You've been resting since last night, my lady. It's now late afternoon."
My shock deepened. Nearly an entire day had passed. Wh had transpired during that time? What had people been told about my absence?
