Howard "hmphed," steadying himself against the foot of the bed as he stood, then waved his hand dismissively.
"I'm going to my room. Don't call me until tomorrow."
After saying this, he walked out of the room with unsteady steps and returned to his own.
Watching Howard's figure disappear behind the door, Nula slowly shifted her gaze away.
She closed the door and sat down in front of a mirror.
Her reflection returned to the glass, and Nula stared at the unfamiliar face in the mirror.
She pulled out a bottle containing a greenish potion, tilted her head back to drink it down, then quietly waited for the potion to take effect.
Moments later, the muscles on her face began to move, as if a video of the initial disguise being applied was being played in reverse.
Every muscle writhed back to its original position.
In just a few breaths, Nula's face returned to normal.
