"Theodora! Theodora wake up!!"
"Shut up, Zerith! Let me sleep." Theodora groaned, snuggling more into her bed.
"Theodora, oh this girl! Wake up fast. Your mother-"
"Mother? What happened to mother?" She shot up in her bed within a second with wide eyes and accelerated heartbeats.
"Why don't you see yourself?"
She couldn't make out anything from Zerith's expressions as he stood beside her bed with a straight face.
Theodora had no time to deal with him. She sprang out of her bed and picked up her robe on her way out of her room. Zerith was hot on her tail as they rushed to Cordelia's room.
As Theodora neared the room, she heard voices coming from inside. Her mind was filled with panic that she couldn't pick on what they were talking about.
She rushed, piercing through the crowd of the servants and maids to reach her mother's bed and what she saw made her heart leapt in her throat.
