A blonde lady slowly acquired up from a tough mattress and took a go searching her new environment.
She wore a plain white nightgown that lined most of her physique.
She discovered herself standing in a room roughly the dimensions of a daily bed room with no furnishings apart from a easy mattress, a closet and a mirror that was held on one of many partitions.

She raised her proper arm and the mirror model of her within the reflection additionally carried out the identical motion.
“That is so bizarre,” Sui Li muttered as she continued to maneuver her hand up and down.
This physique felt completely different and pure on the identical time.
It was onerous to explain how odd this expertise was. Sui Li raised up the underside a part of her nightgown and whistled appreciatively.
Six pack abs… my goodness she had became a hottie!
However what concerning the mission?
Sui Li had already determined to not comply with the primary goal and simply full the request from the unique proprietor of the physique.
“Okay so I must grow to be a worthy paladin and never break a vow?” Sui Li whispered to herself.
Wait a second… what vow?
Sui Li froze in place as she realised that she didn’t have any reminiscences from Claire.
How on earth was she going to fake to be a holy knight when she did not have the primary clue about tips on how to struggle with a sword.
And setting apart her combating expertise…
Would not the folks closest to Claire instantly recognise that she was behaving unusually?
Fuck… she was fully screwed.
Sui Li started to hyperventilate as she may already image herself being burnt alive on the stake as a witch or a demon.
These spiritual fanatics would in all probability assume that she was being possessed by the satan. Sui Li returned to the mattress and sat down together with her head in her arms.
Okay… she wanted to breathe and assume this by means of. Possibly it takes awhile for the reminiscences to return in and he or she simply wanted to be affected person.
So long as no one got here to see her then every little thing could be alright.
Knock! Knock!
Yep… this was the top.
Sui Li as soon as once more cursed her dangerous luck. Why had she tempted destiny by jinxing herself?
The individual on the opposite facet of the door was clearly getting impatient and commenced to slam his knuckles more durable towards the door.
Knock! Knock!
Knock! Knock!
Sui Li had no thought what Claire’s regular persona was like so all she may do was attempt to mimic the looks and mannerisms that she had noticed within the unusual area.
“What would you like?” Sui Li coldly spoke with a no-nonsense perspective. She tried her finest to channel authority and firmness into her tone.
The knocking stopped instantly, and a hoarse masculine voice answered slowly,
“My deepest apologies captain… I did not imply to disturb your relaxation, however the pope out of the blue introduced that he’s going to carry a grand meeting this afternoon.”
“What are your orders in regard to the association for the saintess?”
Saintess? What saintess? The place did a saintess come from?
Sui Li closed her eyes and rubbed her temples furiously. She ran her fingers by means of her quick blonde hair and set free a heavy sigh.
Nicely, there was nothing else she may do besides faux it.
It might have been good if Claire had talked about that she was apparently the captain of a squad.
Sui Li gathered her ideas and a chilly expression flashed throughout her face as she tried to get into the temper.
“All out there knights ought to assemble on the normal spot at the least two hours earlier than the ceremony begins. The protection and status of the saintess is the best precedence,” Sui Li ordered calmly.
“I’ll focus on the finer particulars once we meet within the afternoon.”
“Understood captain, I’ll let the remainder of the lads know,” the hoarse voice replied.
Sui Li raised an eyebrow however didn’t say anything. At occasions like this it was higher to remain silent.
The much less she stated… the higher.
It might be a mistake to maintain speaking since that will undoubtedly enhance the chance of the individual behind the door discovering out that one thing was fallacious.
A number of seconds handed and pressure stuffed the air. Sui Li nervously clenched her fingers right into a fist and waited.
Had the individual behind the door realised that she was a faux? Was this life already over?
Lastly, she heard the sounds of footsteps leaving as the person rotated and left to go to an unknown location.
Sui Li gently exhaled and wiped the beads of sweat that had shaped on her forehead. That was too shut.
If the mysterious individual on the opposite facet of the door had needed to debate extra particulars concerning the association, then she would have been caught for certain.
“Arghh!” Sui Li shrieked in ache as she out of the blue felt as if one thing had simply exploded in her thoughts.
She flailed round on the mattress like a madwoman because the ache elevated till she may barely assume.
Was this the reminiscence switch course of?
It hurts… it damage so freaking a lot…
After what appeared like an eternity, the ache ultimately dropped to a manageable degree and Sui Li may now considerably compose herself.
Sui Li… no… her identify… her identify… was Claire now.
Claire gripped her head in ache and desperately tried to cope with the brand new reminiscences flooding inside her thoughts.
It was an odd sensation.
She was not two separate folks however somewhat Sui Li had grow to be Claire. A lifetime’s value of reminiscences had now been stuffed into her head.
“The pope’s grand meeting,” Claire groaned as an disagreeable flashback resurfaced in her thoughts.
This was the day the place she had made the fallacious selection.
