The crown prince and princess Shae have arrived in the duke's manor. The maids and butlers bowed down as the siblings walk.
They soon entered Lady Eloise's room.
Elliote was surprised after seeing them
"Your highness, what brings you here?" The duke asked politely
"We're here to see lady Eloise." Severus answered
"Ell!" Shae hugged Elliote while bursting into tears, "Is she okay? God, I was so worried! When will she gain her consciousness?"
"Calm down, lady Shae, we still know when will she gain her consciousness."
Silence filled the room. Lady Eloise was lying in her bed and there's a Dahlia beside her.
Not until she suddenly open her eyes and get up
"Oh god!"
"What was that!?"
"The lady has woken up!"
Lady Eloise touched her neck, she looks like she survived from drowning.
"Eloise! Are you alright?" Elliote ask
"Call the physician immediately!" The duke ordered, the servants hurried and call the physician who healed lady Eloise
"Damn it." Eloise whispered. She looked around and saw Severus and Shae standing in front of her
"Eloise! Do you hear me? Are you hurt or something?" Elliote ask
"I'm okay, brother."
"Thank goodness, lady Eloise! I was so worried about you! I'm glad you're awake now!" Shae hugged her, she cried in lady Eloise's shoulder
"Princess Shae, I'm sorry if I worry you."
"You're so mean, lady Eloise! Don't make me worry like that again!"
"I won't."
Eloise notice a dahlia beside her, she smiled after seeing it, she feels relieve that she regain her consciousness
Severus stared at her blankly but deep inside, he's glad that she escape death. It's a miracle.
Later at the balcony, lady Eloise was standing there to breathe some fresh air. Her father told her that she suffered from internal bleeding. That makes sense why she always had sudden headache and feel tired all the times.
She touch her chest, it must because of what happened that day. She was stab in the chest in the day of her execution. She think that this is probably the side effect.
"How you feeling?"
Eloise turned around and saw Severus leaning in the door
"I'm fine, your highness."
He stared at her for a second, "You're not."
"Pardon?"
"You're not fine, aren't you?"
Eloise grin, "You're quick witted, your highness. Ha, I can't believe this is reality."
"What'd you mean?"
"I was a black sheep in this family, your highness. The duke and my brother 'cared' about me but deep inside they despised me. And, I saw my mother."
"Your mother?"
"Yeah, the one who only cared about me for real. But she died since I was a child. Silly, right? The one I love the most, passed away."
Severus didn't answered, lady Eloise chuckled, "I somehow feel embarrassed, talking about my personal issue to his highness."
Suddenly, his highness hugged her, "I won't tell you 'It's okay' because I know it's not. I'm just glad you're here now. Welcome back, lady Eloise."
Eloise was surprised, but she hugged him back,
"It's nice to be back, your highness."
