Herietta was never a morning person. It was only because the diligent Rose hated lazy people that she woke up early every morning. But if she had her way, she would have overslept without waking up until the sun had risen.

“It’s never a fault to love sleep. Rather, it is a healthy habit!” She often made these nonsense claims, trying to get her younger brother to agree to it. Although she later heard Rose nagging her when she found out about it.

But today Herietta woke up early for some reason. It was a bluish hour when the moon had not yet completely disappeared from the sky.

After tossing and turning for a while on the bed and trying to fall asleep again, she finally realized that it was impossible and got up. The quilt she had been covering herself with fell on the floor. Even though it was summer, the early morning air that touched her skin was quite chilly.

. Edwin looked at Herietta’s confused face and smiled,

“It’s nothing.”

It was a powerless reply mixed with a sigh.
