A Good Performance Indeed

Melisa's room turned dark when night fell. All the candles were turned off, while every curtain was down to prevent light from coming in from outside. When there was only the sound of insects coming from outside the castle, Alexius, who was originally asleep, opened his eyes again.

Alexius had already expected it. But apparently, sleeping in the same room as Melisa did make him a little uncomfortable. Not to mention, he wasn't used to sleeping on a sofa, even if the sofa he slept on was covered in many soft and comfortable layers. Alexius slowly got up from his lying position. His eyes glanced around the dark room before stopping on the figure of Melisa, who was sleeping soundly on her big bed.
