The sun slowly rose over the village, casting a soft glow over the rooftops. In the empty room, the village leader's daughter stirred awake.
Her head felt heavy, and for a moment, she struggled to remember where she was. Then, she blinked.
The bed beside her was empty.
She sat up quickly, looking around in confusion.
"Where am I…? Did I succeed last night?"
She muttered, her mind racing.
Her memories from last night were hazy.
She had snuck into Lord Kyle's room. She had planned to make it look like they spent the night together. But now, he was gone.
Even though she did not remember much of what happened, the answer to what happened here was clear- she had managed to spend a night with the young lord.
A smirk formed on her lips.
"He must have gone out for a bath."
She whispered to herself.
This was her chance. If she made a big enough scene, people would assume something had happened.
Even if Kyle denied it, the rumors would force him to take responsibility.
