Chapter 40: Awakening

"Ahh

Rafa screamed and sat up from the bed.

"Your Highness!" Audrey stepped forward and unconsciously shook his hand.

"Ao Dai......" Rafa glanced at Audrey blankly, and then realized that he was surrounded by a group of people, "Whew, finally woke up......"

Because the sensation of dreaming and waking up were extremely different, he was sure that he was awake.

"It scared me to death, I thought I was really going to pay back Fili 100,000 gold coins...... Luckily, it was just a dream. Rafa held her forehead, oozing cold sweat, and smiled at Felihill.

"Is there something wrong? You've been sleeping for ten years, and the interest is ten thousand a year, no problem, right?" Felihill also followed Freya's example and clasped her hands to her chest.

"What? ten years!?" he was shocked when he heard this terrifying time.

"Alright, alright, don't be kidding, look at Rafa. ”

Freya laughed softly and walked over to Rafa's bedside.

"Freya?" Seeing this familiar woman in her memory, Rafa subconsciously said the name, only to realize that it was wrong when she said it, because Rafa had always respectfully called her the royal sister in the past, and now it was obviously a little disrespectful.

Freya came to him with the waves, and at the same height, Rafa's gaze had nowhere to go, and she was attracted by Freya just like the previous reaction of the witches.

"Huh~ I didn't expect Lafa to be a big pervert!" Shirley pursed her mouth.

"Ahem, I didn't ......" He tried to look away, but he couldn't.

"Oh, I knew that men were like that. Hedda also showed a disdainful gaze, and Elle, who was standing behind her, echoed, "That's it!"

"Huh. Cole sneered twice.

Fortunately, Katya went to the school to help, otherwise there would be another poisonous tongue.

"I didn't even scream Sister Sheng, it seems that your wings are really hard. ”

Freya deliberately showed a displeased expression, and then grabbed Rafa and pressed him to her chest, no matter how much Rafa struggled, she would not let go.

"Hmm~~" Rafa immediately let out a dull cry that was about to suffocate.

"Hehehehehe, it's really getting a lot bigger. Freya pressed harder.

"Hmph. Felihill glanced silently at her chest and let out a soft grunt that only she could hear.

"Frey, Your Highness can't stand it anymore. Audrey couldn't bear to see Rafa, who had finally woken up, being "devastated" again, and pleaded with Freya.

"Well, listen to Aodai. With Audele pleading, Freya immediately let go of Rafa.

"Ahem, ahem," Rafa, who had coughed twice, gasped for a moment, then spread his hands back onto the bed.

"I'm finally alive," Rafa laughed heartily, staring at the ceiling, "Huh? Why do I say finally?"

Rafa suddenly remembered something, and sat up sharply again, but his mind was already blank, and he could no longer remember what he had just remembered.

"What the hell have I forgotten...... I remember having a dream that wasn't very comfortable, but I couldn't remember it at all... What am I dreaming about?"

He stretched out his hand to grab something, but the world seemed to be far away from him, the blank space in his mind grew bigger and bigger, everyone stood at the end of the world, everything began to blur, and more memories faded like a tide, but he couldn't remember what was in this tide of memories.

In the last moments of losing consciousness, he felt that he would definitely become a fool who didn't remember anything when he woke up again.

Rafa fell back on the bed, as if asleep.

"Forget the blood. ”

Felihill whispered, then covered him with the covers.

When he woke up again, the dappled sunlight was shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows on his quilt, and he was alone in the quiet room.

With a long sigh of relief, a refreshed Rafa jumped out of bed, trying his best to stretch his body, which seemed to be rusty, and there was a "crackling" sound in his body.

Clothes and toiletries were ready, Rafa smiled, and seeing that there was no one around, he tried to resist the water spirit.

A transparent stream of water still gradually formed in the air, swept through his body from beginning to end, and then disappeared without a trace.

Much refreshed, Rafa put on his robe and strode out the door.

A cool wind blew, and Rafa's memories began to connect.

He was shot and then rescued by Shirley, and Freya came, and after he had slept for a while, he was now.

It was all he could remember, and it didn't seem to be missing anything.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing that the energetic and radiant Rafa was walking out with a smile on his face, Audair suddenly became even happier.

"Audrey. Audrey's eyes were red, and Rafa could already see how much she blamed herself when she was hurt.

"I'm fine, hey, don't cry. Somehow, he smiled at Audrey, and Audrey was about to cry, so he hurriedly held her face and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Uh-huh......" Audrey, who was wearing a mask, replied, blinking, letting the tears disappear from her eyes.

Although she couldn't see her face, Rafa could still anticipate her smile.

That's enough.

Along the way, everyone who saw Rafah greeted him in surprise.

It didn't take long for the news that His Royal Highness had awakened quickly spread throughout Icefield City.

Since he didn't see Felicille and Freya, Rafa just left the City Lord's Mansion and began to wander from workshop to workshop so that more people could see him.

"Ao Dai, how long have I been in a coma? It can't really be ten years, right?" Rafa couldn't help but ask seeing the enthusiasm of the people as if they had seen the gods descend from the heavens.

"Of course not, if you are in a coma for two more days, plus today, it is exactly a month. ”

"It's only been a month? Fili, that guy freaks people out. The thought of returning the gold coins to Filihill made him a little worried.

"Her Highness Fili is just joking. Ever since she found out about that, Audair didn't know what attitude to take towards Felihill.

It was the witch who killed her parents, and now, is she going to be the witch's subordinate?

Even her only friend, Freya, is related to the witch.

She felt as if she was isolated, and everyone around her was happy to accept the witch, but she held on to that unknown belief in the bottom of her heart.

Does that really make sense?

"Why bother, I will do whatever His Highness tells me to do. Muttering to herself for a while, she continued to walk towards Rafa, who was calling to her in the distance.

After walking around, Rafa found that during the time he was unconscious, there was no chaos in the entire Icefield City, everything was in order, the caravan had returned safely, and the newly brought back people had also been well arranged.

"Everything is so well done, I'll just have fun all day and leave it all to Fili. Standing on the completed city wall, Rafa was very emotional, when he was injured, he only built a short section, but now, the tall city wall has extended to the mine, and there is a small fortress building under construction at the foot of the mine.

"Madame doesn't like the bustle of the scene, she's been waiting for you to wake up. ”

"It's really hard for her, by the way, where did she and Freya go, why didn't you see them?"

"I heard that gems had been mined while the explosives were being mined, and Madame and Frey went into the mines. Audrey replied as she watched her surroundings warily, she wouldn't allow anything like that to happen again.

"Into the mines? ”

"Frey has always been so bold. ”

"You know Freya well?" Rafa turned to look at Audrey.

"Yes, she is my only friend in Byron, and the reason why I became a knight is because I dream of becoming her guardian knight. Audair made no secret of it.

"That's right...... ......" Rafa looked at her in surprise, then looked into the distance, and then thought silently in his heart, "follow me, you must be very tired and unhappy, right?"

It was a long time before Rafa whispered.

"It's better to ...... This time you will follow Freya back to Byron and do what you want," Rafa lowered his head slightly, he felt that Audair must have been very disappointed when she became the Rafa Guardian Knight before, and after coming to Icefield City, her disappointment had probably turned into despair.

"Your Highness... Are you going to abandon me......" Audair was startled, she didn't expect Rafa to let her go, her eyes widened for a while, and her voice trembled a little.

"Of course not," Rafa turned to face her, "I just think...... You can go after the life you want, and I don't want to be a shackle that binds you. ”

"Staying behind you is the life I want. Audrey understood what Rafa meant, and replied earnestly.

"You're really a stubborn girl, what's the good thing about staying here in this shabby place in Icefield City?"

Lying on the side of the city wall, Rafa smiled bitterly, to be honest, he didn't like this place either, and he also missed the "decadent Rafa" who spent all day drinking in Byron, and the chic days covered by the old lady.

"But aren't you here?"

"I have no choice, I will never have a chance to return to Byron in my life, I will have to stay in this place for the rest of my life. ”

"Me too. ”

"It's not the same. ”

"Same. ”

"Hahaha, I'm really lucky to have such a stubborn girl with me. Rafa laughed happily.

"I'm also lucky. Audrey replied silently in her heart.

"Isn't that Fili and Freya?"

While he was laughing, the small minecart at the foot of the mine was slowly sliding down, and the five small minecarts were loaded with many stones, and there were many stones with glittering points of light, maybe that was the gem that Audrey was talking about.

On the console of the steam locomotive, an excited Freya was putting her arms around Felicille and saying something, and Felicille was a little impatient, as if she was reluctant to go.

"Hey, Rafa!"

I don't know why Freya's eyes are so good, but she saw the small half of Rafa's body sticking out of the city wall from a distance, and began to cry out loudly.

Felihill, who heard Freya's shout, was also a little surprised, and began to look towards Rafa's position.

"Let's go, Ao Dai, it's time to say hello. ”

"Hmm. ”
