I wore the earbuds and picked up the call.
[Das!]
"Elena?!"
[Das! Are you okay?! Is everything alright?]
"Yeah, I am fine"
[Why weren't you at the party?]
"I had so things to do"
She won't tell about the monster she t when she was on her way to Royal Garden, huh?
[And the party was cancelled too. Everyone left and went to the hotel. What happened?]
She doesn't know about the attack on the palace?
"Where are you right now?"
[Sely and I are in the hotel]
"I see"
[We were covered in bloo--juice! Soone dropped juice on us, so we went to the hotel to take the bath]
Blood.
It's been a few hours since then. Why are they taking a bath now?
"Do you have spare clothes?"
[Yes. We t Lier and she gave us her clothes]
From the car...
"Are you alone right now?"
[No, I an yes! But Sely is taking a bath, and I am waiting for her]
"You are in the hotel room, right?"
[Yes]
Sigh-
"Okay so stay--"
[Once Sely cos out, I will co to the palace. Please wait for . I know we were supposed to--]
"No need. Stay at the hotel tonight"
[Why?! Are you angry? I am sorry--"
"The palace was attacked when everyone was at the party. And grandpa is dead"
[Gasp!]
"Elena?"
[I...I will co there]
"No need"
[But-]
"Please Elena. I will co to pick you up, okay?"
[Fine]
"Bye"
[Bye. I love you]
"Love you too"
I am sorry Elena, but you are the last person I want to see like this.
She will bla herself for everything even though it is not related to her.
Before we started going out, I got hurt, and it wasn't anyone's fault. But Elena blad herself.
She promised that she would stay away from and won't ever talk to again. Even though it wasn't her fault that I got injured, she blad herself.
She is actually a stubborn girl who never listens to anyone once she is in the commitnt.
And if here, she blad herself, I don't know what would I do.
I glanced at Daulla who was still sleeping nicely.
I almost lost her today/
I am really glad she is alive.
I never thought I would be able to et her again.
She woke up in Sherley's body.
And all the maids including Sherley, were in that room.
And that Augustus had the key of that room.
How did he have the key? Unless he was the one who locked everyone in that room.
Why would he do that?
Should I look at the footage?
But my eyes feel so heavy. Soon, my brain will stop working too.
I don't know what to do. I don't know what I should do.
I will just sleep.
Daulla's face was still close to mine. If I moved a little, I would end up kissing her.
I can even see her cleavage because she is only wearing a blouse.
I moved my head a little to kiss her on the lips, but stopped and kissed her on the forehead.
"Good night"
I closed my eyes and turned around, facing the ceiling.
"Lily, can you hear ?"
[....]
"If you are, at least say sothing"
[....]
"I am really worried"
[.....]
Is she really sleeping?
I made her do too much work today.
She must be asleep.
Sohow, I just couldn't stop worrying about her.
Should I go to her dinsion to et her?
She would be happy, right?
But...how do I go there?
I never really asked Lily, not that she told anything about this.
I tried to focus but I couldn't do anything.
"I will ask her tomorrow"
I moved my hand to my ear to take off the earbud, but there was nothing on my ear.
Did it drop sowhere?
I should throw it out of the bed.
I opened my eyes to check, but I couldn't find it.
I slowly sat up and glanced on the right side of the bed where I was sleeping.
Where did it go?
Did I maybe take it off and forget?
Sigh~
"That must be it"
I laid down again and closed my eyes.
I don't feel tired now. I an, I do feel tired now, but my body is much more free now.
I turned to the left side and opened my eyes to kiss Daulla...again.
When I turned around, Daulla wasn't there.
What's going on?
Oh! I must be very sleepy.
I just turned right and thought I turned left
Daulla is still sleeping on my left side.
I sat up and glanced around the bed, but...no one was there on the bed except .
"What's going on?"
She was just sleeping here beside . And then I just closed my eyes, nothing.
Where could she go in that small amount of ti?
I quickly got out of the bed and searched all around the room, but still couldn't find her.
"Daulla?"
No one replied.
"Daulla? I know you are here. Please stop ssing and let's sleep"
Still no reply.
What's going on?"
My thoughts were going wild again.
What if....what if it was all a dream?
What if I saw Daulla's dead body and passed out? And after that soone brought here?
"What if I myself ca here to sleep after seeing all that?"
But I am sure I touched Daulla. I kissed her, I slled her, though I couldn't sll anything.
Was that all a dream?
That ans...Daulla is dead?
My attention was diverted by the red light speaking in the mirror, only to see that it was my left which was shining red.
"No"
I won't believe this was all a dream.
I am sure she just went sowhere.
Maybe I just slept too much and didn't notice the ti? Yeah, that must be it.
I won't believe unless I see everything myself.
I quickly ran out of the room.
I started running in the hallways.
Those cleaners were fast. They cleared up everything in no ti.
Everything looks new, like nothing ever happened here.
I ran to mother's room, but she wasn't there.
I ran to Lirole's room. But she wasn't there either.
I checked Lier's room, Daulla's room. No one was there.
All the rooms were empty. Not just rooms, everything was empty.
I didn't see a single maid when I was running around.
"What's happening?"
I started running all over the place.
If soone were to take a quick walk in the palace, it would take them more than two days if they walked non-stop. That's how big the palace is.
I searched half of the palace in less than 30 minutes. Even though I searched half of the palace, I didn't see anyone.
I had no idea which hallways I was passing anymore.
What is going on?
Wait! Maybe....
Daulla had told to take a nap after we ca from the parliant. And I took a nap.
What if I never woke up from that nap?
What if I am just walking up now?
What if there was a shortage of maids there, and they sent all the maids from here too?
What if Daulla went to the party too?
Yeah! That must be it.
Everyone is safe.
I will just go to the party now.
I am sure everyone will yell at .
"Should I stop by grandpa's room too?"
I haven't gone in his room yet.
"He must be sleeping"
Should I disturb him?
Suddenly....one thought ca to my mind. And I couldn't stop myself from confirming it.
I imdiately ran to the nearest balcony to check the outside surrounding, and my guess was right.
"I knew it. I am in Lily's dinsion"
Sigh~
"So Daulla and I are sleeping in the real world"
Glad to know that.
So I really ca here, huh?
I should have guessed this sooner instead of freaking out like an idiot.
But I just panicked because Daulla's wasn't there
"Where is Lily though?"
Is she not here?
She said this place is just a place where she can summon . And that she lives in another dinsion.
"I thought about this place when I thought of eting Lily"
She is not here.
She is in her own dinsion.
So she is really sleeping, huh?
Otherwise, there is no way she would ignore even though I am here...right?
"Should I think of going into Lily's dinsion?"
But I haven't seen that place so imagining it would be kind of hard.
"Let's just try it"
I tried to enter Lily's dinsion. But I couldn't.
"What if I use my system, to find Lily?"
Then once I have found her, I will go and et her.
I will apologize to her in person.
And if she is sleeping, then I will wait for her to wake up.
"But how do I find Lily?"
Do I just have to say 'Find Lily' and it will work?
Let's try it.
"Find Lily"
[Program Found]
It really worked.
"Let's see...she is...." my eyes widened as I saw her location.
"She is...here, in the palace!"
But I searched up half of the palace, and couldn't find anyone.
Sohow, I knew exactly where Lily was. And my feet automatically ran there.
It was my room.
If there is any place she could be, it's my room.
She is hiding in my room.
I opened the door of my room, to see Lily curled up in the corner with her back facing at .
"Lily?"
She is acting strange.
"Lily?"
I walked up to her and touched her.
"Lily?"
She looked up.
"Li...ly?"
