EPISODE 4
The quiet of the room was broken by the soft click of the door
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
*barely looked up , her hands still trembling over the sketch she had just finished.*
Emily (FL maid)
Miss Althea… you’re drawing again? *her voice gentle but surprised*
Emily (FL maid)
It’s been so long since you picked up a pencil after marrying Sir…
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
*froze, her wide eyes flicking toward the maid* (Emily… alive? Is this real? Or just… another one of my illustrations?)
Slowly, hesitantly, she reached out and touched Emily’s arm, feeling the warmth and softness of a real human being
Emily (FL maid)
*Jumped slightly, startled, but then smiled gently and asked concerned* What happened madam?
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
*lips trembled* I… I don’t know. I just… wanted to draw. It feels… like I’ll forget him if I don’t.
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
*looked down at the sketch in her hands, tracing the face she had just drawn — Draven’s*
Emily (FL maid)
(How much have you suffered madam 😢)
Emily (FL maid)
*nodded softly, understanding more than words could convey* You’ve missed it, haven’t you?
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
*blinked, confusion clouding her expression, hesitated but then asked quietly, almost like a child waking from a long dream* What… what day is it? And… the year… what year is it?
Emily (FL maid)
*Paused, slightly startled* It’s… the 14th of August, madam. The year is 2025.
Emily (FL maid)
Are you not feeling well madam? You forgot the date!?
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
* gaze shifted , sharply* (Then he is alive?)
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
(So I came back to 38years before his death, and if I remember right this was the time I was diagnosed with severe depression, then my son!! I don't think Draven will let me near to him... I don't even have the right to ask forgiveness)
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
Then... where is he?
Emily (FL maid)
*expression softened, careful with her words" Sir… he’s not at home right now. He’s at the company. But don’t worry, he should be back in the evening.
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
*lips pressed into a thin line, almost hesitantly* When he returns… can you… ask him to come to my room?
Emily (FL maid)
*froze, blinking at her madam* (She… she’s asking for him? After all these years it's the first time she asked for him)
Emily (FL maid)
*A small, happy smile tugged at her lips*
Perhaps… perhaps this was a hope for their marriage, a fragile spark that hadn’t completely died.
Emily (FL maid)
*nodded gently, hiding her excitement* Of course, madam. I’ll tell him.
Emily (FL maid)
(Sir will be over the moon if he knows)
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
*nods*
Emily (FL maid)
Would you like me to bring something for you Madam?
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
*shakes head* I'll go back to sleep, I feel a little dizzy
Emily (FL maid)
*worried* should I call the doctor?
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
I'll be fine after a good sleep
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
(all this time my depression got worse day by day because of my late night overthinking and not resting well enough, what I need now is a good rest, I really want to overcome my depression)
Emily (FL maid)
*nods* then I'll leave, if you need anything click the button next to your bed and I'll come
Althea Lune/Kaelthorn (FL)
*sank back into her chair, her fingers still tracing the sketch of Draven’s face, a small, fragile hope stirring deep in her chest*
