Nyx stirred vaguely amid a noisy clamor, frowning as her lashes fluttered and her mind cleared. She felt so cold.

Water splashed, and before she could process it, strong arms hauled her out of the tub. They wrapped her in a blanket like a cocoon, dried her off, and dressed her in thick clothes.

Huddled in her partner’s arms, dizzy and dazed for a while, Nyx finally pieced together what happened. She’d fallen asleep in the bath.

“Achoo, achoo-!” After a string of sneezes, she stopped, her little face scrunching up.

She’d felt the chill while dozing but couldn’t wake up–just curled her hands and feet tighter. The bathwater had gone cold ages ago, and she’d soaked in it who–knows–how–long. Now her nose was stuffed, breathing rough.

“Ugh, I think I’m sick,” Nyx said, struggling to breathe a few times before sighing. Embarrassed, she turned and buried her face in Pale Wolf’s chest.

“What’s wrong?” She looked up and flinched at his bloodshot eyes. “What happened?”

“Weren’t they at Four Peaks Mountain? Did Banon pull something again?‘ she thought.

“Where’s Aurelius?” Nyx asked, panicking as she glanced at the door. Straining to listen, she caught chaos outside–someone wailing in terror.

‘Why are the maids crying out of nowhere? Did something happen to the Emperor?‘ she thought.

Nyx freaked out, clutching Pale Wolf and demanding, “What’s going on? Don’t hide it from me!”
