Chapter 134: Wake Up
Although it is a life to do it all over again, because it is in a dream, there are some differences, but those differences are with a little inexplicable familiarity, as if he has also experienced it. Especially the flashing blue and white eyes and the inauthentic voice, the stubbornness revealed in the plainness, and the unknown longing. Ronald didn't know what it was craving, but he could only guess what its owner was really craving......
"Yo, you're finally willing to wake up?"
There was a clear tease in his voice, and before Ronald could open his eyes, he felt a blinding ray of sunlight coming into view.
"Water ......"
The dryness in his throat made Ronald subconsciously mutter, and the next second he felt a cool air flowing down his throat and continuously pouring over his body.
"It's time to open your eyes, right?"
His eyelids trembled slightly, and only after getting used to the sunlight did Ronald slowly open his eyes.
"Well, it looks like I'm really awake this time."
The smiling eyes had a sense of familiarity, but the cheek had never appeared in Ronald's memory.
"Are you ......" His voice was hoarse and distinctly weak, and Ronald tilted his head sideways to look at the girl who was bent over and standing by the bed, a little puzzled.
"Don't you remember?"
"What?" There are few meaningless words to ask and answer, but even so, Ronald is rare and does not feel impatient.
"You were washed down from the upstream by the stream, and then I saw you being dragged back from the shore, and you have been in a coma for more than a month."
"More than a month ......" Ronald lowered his head and slowly sat up with Xiao Yueluo's support.
"Do you remember what happened to you?" After retreating to the stool, Xiao Yueluo asked lightly.
"Before...... Ronald frowned, and then some vague fragments came to mind, "I remember the beginning...... Hiss~"
"Hey! Feed! If you can't remember, don't be too forceful! Xiao Yueluo stood up a little nervously, while her eyes were fixed on someone holding the corner of her forehead with a pained expression.
"I'm sorry, I think I forgot something." Ronald shook his head, his frowning brows still showed no signs of loosening, especially the partial blankness in his mind only made Ronald feel a little disobedient, as if his memory had been deleted, but is such a thing possible?
"Well, it's okay, I'm just a little curious anyway, and since you don't remember, I won't say anything." Xiao Yueluo only thought that the person in front of her was an excuse to find if she didn't want to talk too much, after all, the current state of the two of them can be said to be complete strangers, and it is normal to be a little guarded, "But other than that, I have a question I want to ask you." ”
"What?" After a short period of relaxation, Ronald gradually recovered at this time, and even his voice was stronger than before.
"You're Ronald Olnice, the second prince of the Ams Empire, right?"
"How do you know?" Ronald said calmly and looked at the person in front of him carefully, but the reaction on that face was a little beyond Xiao Yueluo's expectations, it can be said that it was too bland, of course, in addition to this, Xiao Yueluo heard a trace of caution from his tone.
"Well, I've been staying in the Erdakeya Mountains, but I'm not even recognizable to this." Xiao Yueluo said as she groped around her waist for a moment, and then directly threw the identity token she had seen by the river to Ronald.
"So that's it." Ronald looked at the things in his hands, and the light in his eyes flickered.
"At that time, I was shocked when I saw this, I didn't expect that the second prince of the empire, who is famous in the entire continent, would come to me." Saying that, Xiao Yueluo also made a very exaggerated expression to show her mood at that time.
"I don't dare to be famous, I'm just born with a higher status than others, if I was born ordinary, even if I was excellent, it would be difficult to be like this." Ronald was telling the truth, although there had been complacency, but that was a long time ago, and it was before Dalena was imprisoned and everyone had not changed, that is, Ronald's true childhood.
"Second Highness said with a smile, although your starting point is higher than others, you can't deny your own efforts, let alone ......" Speaking of this, Xiaoyue Luo paused slightly, and then showed a meaningful smile, "I heard that the circle of nobles is much more fierce than that of the commoners, and those who are incapable have no possibility of getting ahead at all." ”
"You get the idea." Ronald looked at Xiao Yueluo approvingly, and agreed with what she said, "Most people only see the appearance of the aristocracy, but no one can see the effort behind it. Competition, sometimes taking a wrong step is the abyss, if you choose to stagnate, then the only thing waiting for you is to be abandoned, because ......"
"Nobles don't need waste, I still know that." Xiao Yueluo followed behind and answered, and Ronald's eyes flashed with surprise when he looked at Xiao Yueluo, of course, the main lord didn't care about this, and continued, "And as far as I know, you nobles even have much stricter standards for judging than ordinary people, and I don't know what the meaning of this is." ”
"I think it's probably because as a ruler, if you don't have the ability to go far beyond ordinary people, it's very difficult to lead those people." Looking at Xiao Yueluo's puzzled appearance with her head tilted, Ronald explained with a smile, but then reacted slightly stunned, and at the same time had some doubts in his heart why he said this to the person in front of him.
"Aren't you tired, O ruler?" Xiao Yueluo sighed faintly, to be honest, she really hated that kind of life bound by responsibility, although in exchange for rights, it was difficult to do what she wanted to do.
"I guess it's tiring, but some people like it." Ronald's tone was a little uncertain, in fact, he had never thought about this question so far, if he was tired, it must be a little tiring, after all, a territory or country is not so easy to manage, and he often has to think about how to deal with a thing more perfectly, plus he has to constantly guard against deception and harm from the people around him, which is indeed a little tiring in various senses.
"That's right, you see how good it is for little people like us, to do what you like every day, and to make something you like to eat from time to time, it's not too comfortable." Xiao Yueluo snorted twice, showing off her face.
"Indeed." Maybe it's because the look on Xiao Yueluo's face is too tempting, but Ronald has a trace of yearning for this in his heart: If you have the opportunity in the future, you can give it a try. However, Ronald didn't know what Xiao Yueluo thought at this time, and at this moment, she was a little surprised that the person in front of her would be so cooperative with her, and she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.
"Well, that's it anyway, the reason why I told you so much, of course, it's just so that you can settle down and rest for a while, otherwise if you really have any sequelae in the future, it will be my medical book that will be questioned at that time." Xiao Yueluo's voice sounded a little unnatural, and this change was naturally discovered by Ronald, who had been staring at Xiao Yueluo's expression.
"So...... The real reason? Ronald raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl in front of him with some amusement who tried to hide her emotions.
"Well, actually, I just wanted to ask if you know a person named **Prie." Xiao Yueluo spread her hands, although she heard April say that she knew Ronald at first, but because she hadn't seen it, she didn't dare to confirm whether the relationship between the two was an enemy or a friend, so she concealed the existence of this person until now.
"April? Do you know her? Ronald was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting the person in front of him to mention this name at this time.
"Well, it can be said that I know." Xiao Yueluo nodded a little confused, but even though she found that she didn't express her meaning clearly, "Let's put it this way, what is the relationship between you and April, friend?" Or is it an enemy? ”
"You can be considered friends." Ronald pondered for a moment before speaking, in fact, even he didn't know much about April's positioning, after all, he only found April's help because he was recommended by Navis, and if he wanted to say that he was a friend, he should be considered a friend of Navis, "But why did you suddenly mention her?" ”
"How do you say this...... Xiao Yueluo groaned twice, and then slowly spoke, "Actually, wait a minute, you should tell her yourself." ”
"...... Yourself"
The words in Ronald's mouth had just begun, and Xiao Yueluo instantly got up and rushed out of the room like a gust of wind, and after a while, she dragged a person in: "Well, you two can talk about it yourself." ”
pushed Aprili to the side of the bed, and then Xiao Yueluo took the bench and retreated to the side to prepare to watch the play.
"Your Highness!" At first, Ai Puli was a little puzzled about what Xiao Yueluo wanted to do in such a hurry, but now after seeing the person in front of her, she didn't even know what to say for a while.
"Long time no see." Symbolically saying hello, although Ronald himself was very surprised to see the person in front of him here, but as a superior for so many years, he had long learned how not to like the form.
"It's been a long time, no, Your Highness, do you know that the princess has been looking for you since she learned that you were missing?" Aprili looked at the person on the bed left and right, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was fine.
"Little sister, she ...... Where are you now? Not with you? ”
"No, although we were indeed together half a month ago, we were caught by a mutant beast some time ago, and I was rescued by Miss Sophia after I was seriously injured and unconscious." As she spoke, Aprili looked directly sideways at Xiao Yueluo, who was sitting not far from her.
"Sophia Edith, my name." Seeing that the two of them set their eyes on themselves, Xiao Yueluo simply gave up her plan to watch from the wall, and at the same time showed a smile on her face, "In addition, the reason why I saved Ai Li is only because I happened to see it, plus there is a lack of materials for practicing in my hands." ”
