Disappointed

Juri didn't know how long she slept. All she knew was that Riva was at her bedside once more. When she had returned to her room she had collapsed onto the bed, crying her eyes out until sleep claimed her and took her to a dream world.

"Finally, you are awake," said Rival gently.

Her butt still felt sore from the stinging claps she received from Prince Juval's right palm. Riva's cute calming presence only seemed to add to her inner strife. Never in life had she felt so helpless and less sure of herself than last night. Getting disciplined like a child had broken something deep within her.

"Leave me alone, I just want to sleep," said Juri as she pulled the bedsheet to cover her face.

The sun shone so brightly and lit up the entire room and Juri was a person who preferred to sleep in darkness. It seemed Riva was on a mission because she made a clucking sound like a mother hen and drew off the bedsheets of Riva's nude body.
