"Miss Raven, it's important to take so ti to relax," the healer advised gently, concern evident in his tone. "You need to rest tonight to ensure you're in good form for tomorrow. However, your body requires natural rest to recover from exhaustion. I would normally advise against participating in tomorrow's Round if you are—"
"Thank you," Alicia interrupted, cutting off the healer just as he was about to suggest she refrain from the second round.
With a sigh of exasperation, the healer departed, leaving Alicia clad in a red robe, closing the door behind him.
"Are you alright?" Leire asked with a worried tone, while Martin also showed concern.
anwhile, I lounged on the sofa, indulging in popcorn, observing the scene unfold.
Jas Raven remained silent, but I knew he would take action for his daughter's sake. With nothing to lose, he undoubtedly harbored a desire to see Adrian's arrogance crumble.
Alicia glanced briefly in my direction before responding to Leire. "I'm fine," she assured, though her legs faltered beneath her.
Leire rushed to support her, concern etched on her face. "Are you sure you're okay?"
Alicia grimaced, holding her forehead. "I'm... fine," she insisted weakly, before allowing Leire to guide her to her room and bid her goodnight.
"Will Lady Alicia be alright for tomorrow's second round?" Martin asked, his worry evident.
"I think we should encourage her to rest," Leire suggested, turning to for support, knowing Alicia's determination would be hard to sway. They hoped I might have so influence over her decision.
Well, sorry to disappoint you guys, but I don't have any influence over her.
"But... we might need her. This round was tough enough; if we face powerful opponents tomorrow, we could be in trouble," Martin pointed out.
"Lady Alicia isn't in a state to fight!" Leire insisted adamantly.
"Let's calm down, everyone," I said, halting their argunt. "Alicia is a Princess from the Raven House. She carries noble vampire blood in her veins. She'll recover in a few hours and be ready to fight tomorrow, even if she's tired."
I took another handful of popcorn, munching thoughtfully. "This exam is crucial for all of us, especially for her. Coming from a Great House, she needs to prove her capabilities to everyone. And with her father watching, the pressure's even higher."
While I couldn't fully grasp Alicia's emotions, I understood enough to know the weight she carried.
"I'm sorry," Leire apologized, seeming to grasp the gravity of the situation.
"I-I just hope we get an easy group for tomorrow's round," Martin murmured.
Unfortunately for Martin, I knew that hope wouldn't likely co to fruition. Tomorrow's group was bound to be challenging.
