Chapter 6: The Room of Vines
Annalise watched as Lord Kenric left the room and his silhouette disappeared down the staircase. She was now left alone in her new bedroom which looked like a paradise to her. Being from a race that carried Seelie (fae) blood, nature was her biggest treasure.
Finally getting the chance to analyze the room, she started inspecting every crook and cranny. The wooden door had beautiful carvings on it but was also covered in cobwebs and dust. A broken lamp was attached to the wall beside the door.
There was a wooden cabinet beside the door but it was empty and also covered in dust. A dead potted plant was sitting beside the table and she noticed a few more empty flower pots placed around the room. Their flowers or plants had died over the years due to the lack of care.
A wooden shelf was also standing alongside the corner of the wall with the door but it too was empty and covered in cobwebs and dust. In short, the entire room was covered in dust and cobwebs, and yes... vines too!
Annalise moved further into the room and climbed down the three steps that were separating the room into two different zones.
There was a queen-size bed against the wall in the very center. A little bedside table and another cabinet were placed on the right side of the bed. On the left was a mirror, covered in dust, with a little chair and a wooden table placed in front of it.
Annalise walked towards the open window from where the vines were entering the room and looked at the heavy rain that was still pouring outside.
The vines were covering half of the walls and ceiling of the room and some had even spread across the floor.
Taking in a deep breath, Annalise settled down on the bed only to find it also covered in dust. She and Sera had to spend some real quality time cleaning the room and decorating it.
