Auria blinked in surprise.
She was currently lying on her bed with Keisha, one of the female knights whose snoring could wake the whole household. But it wasn’t the noise that woke her. She felt something slither and coil in some part of the castle and it woke her up.
Auria has always been sensitive of her surroundings. Part of growing up, she had to study how to envelope a certain area with her essence so that she can immediately find out if someone wanted her dead or would attack any of her family members. It was a skill that she learned when she was young and she kept the knowledge to herself. She didn’t want to let her grandfather be worried about her so she had learned to fend for herself.
It seems someone or something had triggered her and woke her from her sleep.
