Just let me sleep!

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 : Huh? What is this?!
———–—————•

"Mhmm.."
I turned to my side, on my tummy to be precise. The mattress underneath me felt as if I was melting into it. So comfortable.

[Did the knight commander take me to the infirmary? They sure have soft beds~ Lucky them.]
I snuggled into a pillow, which I was currently hugging.

[I don't feel any pain or soreness around my body~ that's magic border infirmary for you.]
The warm sensation of sunshine on the sheets made me feel cosy. A few rays of sunlight shone on my face, tickling my eyes. My eyebrows furrowed. 

"Ah, he is waking up!"
A soft yet, unnecessarily loud voice echoed near me. The voice carried a sense of relief. I lazily analyzed what he was saying, he sounded so young. Was it that young knight who was with the commander? The voice sounded to be barely a child's.  Was he that young or were my ears only deceiving me?

[He?]
Ahh, probably some other knight that was somewhere at the infirmary. In my life, I was called whatever but "he". 

[Must be nice to have comrades who would be worried for you, oh, to be loved.]
I laughed at myself who even after facing death was jealous.

[Will I still have to go and marry the North's prince?]

".."

[But there again, no one will be waiting for me at home, I was replaced.]
I sighed inside and my face crumbled, I slowly opened my eyes and bright sunlight shone into them. It made me close my eyes again.

"It's so blinding.."
I said out loud without properly realizing it. I had this habit of talking to myself. 

"He is awake! Hurry up and get a Dr Wiltson!!"
The same gentle and yet loud voice. The voice was getting closer. 

I lazily moved my face away from the sunlight, slightly curious to see the magic border infirmary. It was a fancy one. The ceilings were tall with paintings of angels and clouds. Right from the centre was a hanging chandelier, covered in gold and decorated with crystals and diamonds. The creamy-coloured walls with some gold patterns looked rather unique.

I felt a light breeze tickling me. There must have been an open window or terrace. But since my position wasn't letting me see it I let it be. I don't want to move only to see it, I'm comfortable now. The breeze brought some nice refreshing scents that consisted of lavender, lemon, and freshly cut grass. 

As I continued my eye-straining journey my gaze fell onto the navy blue pillow I was resting my head on. I was about to close my eyes again when someone suddenly shook me.

"..ey..hey!"
I was brought back by the voice that screamed near my ear. Why use such force when speaking? 

[Loud.]
I finally looked at the source of such a powerful voice with tired but still furrowed brows.

"Are you feeling better?"
The long red hair that shined like rubies under the sunlight was tight in what looked like a neatly cut piece of cloth. Resembling...  ribbon, maybe? The red bangs that were slightly covering the cheery blossom eyes that showed some bit of concern. Soft plump cheeks that did not take away the charm of this young-looking boy. Now looking at him, his voice matched him well. Tough outside but soft inside. Like a meekly boiled egg. 

His clothes looked rather polite, more like some type of a uniform, the white shirt with a navy blazer and white jacket on top with white shorts and high knee socks.
