Chapter 1 - 01: What the Fu*k ?
Um! My wine, my love... don't ever leave me...
Liora mumbled in her sleep as she tried to grab her silk-soft duvet. When she felt cold air creeping toward her, But her hand only brushed against the empty air. She tried to grab again but still found nothing.
"Anna, wrap me with my silk duvet," Liora mumbled, hoping that her maid would hear and drape her with the duvet, as it was her habit to kick it off in her sleep.
But after so many attempts with no answer, the cold continued to bite at her. Her temper began to flare as she thought about her lazy maid. She must be slacking somewhere, Liora thought angrily. She tried to open her eyes, but it was so hard. If she had the choice, she would have continued sleeping. However, the cold wind grew more and more unbearable.
It seemed she had drunk too much wine the night before. Opening her eyes felt like a monumental task. Her head was splitting apart from the pain.
"If I find that lazy maid, I will punish her with a wooden plank!" Liora grumbled with pouty lips.
"Ahh!" she screamed when she suddenly felt a chill on her body. Instantly, it made her opened her eyes.
But instead of the crystal chandelier and golden silk around her bed, a ruin of blackened rubble greeted her. The little bit of sleep in her eyes disappeared as she looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. She jumped in fright but instantly groaned when she felt a stabbing pain in her limbs.
"Ahh! What the hell? Who is playing prank on this royal princess?" She asked in bewilderment, but no answer came.
She even thought that she was dreaming and that the liquor was still affecting her. But after pinching her arm and feeling the sharp sting of pain, she realized she was still in that forsaken place.
Everything around her was a wreck. It seemed like a mass of ruined structures and fallen rocks with iron rods sticking out from them. Her confusion deepened as she looked at her surroundings. Everything was so unfamiliar.
