 The ceiling of the hall was high and airy, making it cool. It was the perfect place for a nap.

 The new tatami mats smelled pleasant, and Emperor Hilde soon began to fall asleep.

Flora, you don't have to be so nervous, this Nido castle is warded, so please take it easy and relax your shoulders a little more.

It's almost one o'clock.

 Should I wake her up or let her sleep?
