Alaric lifted his weary eyelids, and the first thing he saw was a dragon painted on the ceiling.
He wanted to move his limbs, but he suddenly felt a wave of pain all over his body. The lack of movement in the last two years made his bones and muscles feel stiff.
I'm finally out of that abyss…
The pain made him relieved.
Where am I?
After sorting his thoughts, he turned his head sideways.
"Your Highness!" A maidservant who had been dozing off exclaimed when she saw him move.
She quickly rose to her feet and rushed to his side. "Your Highness, you're awake!"
"I will inform the Lord Duke. Please wait for a moment, Your Highness." Without waiting for his response, the maidservant bolted out of the room.
Seeing this, Alaric let out a wry smile.
From her reaction, it seems like I have been unconscious for quite some time. I wonder how many days have passed…
A moment later, he heard a series of disorderly footsteps in the corridor.
Creak!
