*Rion*
I admitted that the previous night, I'd done too much drinking. I woke up to a pounding in my head. It didn’t hurt so much that it was unbearable like some drinking binges in my past, but it was enough for me to become increasingly uncomfortable.
I turned to the side of the bed to see if the princess was there and found it bare. I blinked. I could have sworn I’d taken her to bed with me the night before. My mind blanked when trying to remember when I’d seen her last.
All I remembered was drinking mead and singing with the boys. I racked my brain for when I had last seen her and realized that was when she said she was going to the bathroom and never returned after that.
I looked at the bathroom. It was empty.
Panic filled me. I jumped up despite my mild headache and rushed out of the room. The hallway was quiet compared to the previous night, other than the soft clatter of dishes from the floor below.
