Cloud Thinking

When she opened her eyes again, almost two days had passed. Perhaps because of the monster heart, she didn't feel very hungry. She just felt weak and tired.

Hawke, Hilda and others were all busy with military duties and could not stay by Helia's side all the time, so Lady Iena, Blot and others stayed by her bedside. When Lady Iena saw Helia wake up, she was so excited that she shed tears.

"Your Highness Helia, there's nothing wrong with your body, you're just too tired. You need to have a good rest these days." Tang De was hurriedly brought to Helia after she woke up. After a careful examination, he confirmed that Helia was fine and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." Helia recognized him as the magician who broke into her sea of ​​consciousness. Although this guy was of no help in helping her escape, she still had to thank him for helping her withstand a wave of mental invasion.

"It's my duty." Tang De replied with a smile.

Blott on the side sighed and attracted Helia's attention. Seeing his little cousin looking at him, he had a worried face and said worriedly: "Xiaoya, why do you suffer wherever you go..."

Helia: I don't think you can ask me about this. Maybe the goddess of luck can say something about it. (serious face)

"Our Aya has suffered." Iyena looked at Helia sadly with her red eyes from crying, and reached out to touch her slightly thin face. Helia rubbed her affectionately and forced a smile to comfort her.

"Are you hungry now? Do you want to eat something or go to sleep for a while?" Blot asked. He and Lady Iena didn't seem to be eager to ask Helia what she had experienced. If it were Hawke and Hilda... I'm afraid they would be eager to ask her where the Morrogan's base camp is and then rush over to wipe it out.

"I want to have some light soup, please." Helia said. Although she was not very hungry, she still wanted to drink something to dilute the bloody taste in her mouth from eating a raw heart - psychologically.

While drinking the soup, Helia noticed that Ronnie had been looking at her. It looked like he wanted to say something, but because there were too many people present, even though he was Helia's personal knight, he couldn't get close to him and say something.

This is against the rules.

She put down the spoon, looked at Lady Iyena, and asked politely, "Madam, if possible, please allow me to be alone with my knight for a while. I have some private matters to tell him."

"Well, OK." Madam Iyena agreed considerately, "I'll have someone wait at the door. Xiaoya, please call me if you need anything. You can rest well after you finish eating."

"If you have something to do, just ask someone to call me and I'll help you. Don't tire yourself out." Blot said.

Helia smiled as she saw the two off, and the rest of the servants also left, leaving only her and Ronniesi with a bowl of still-warm soup.

Without saying anything, Ronnie walked forward and knelt on one knee in front of Helia, lowering his head and saying, "It is my fault that I failed to protect you. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

As Helia's personal knight, his duty is to protect her safety. However, since leaving the palace, the princess has been in danger several times, and he has not been able to stay by her side to protect her. He has obviously failed to fulfill his knight's duties and responsibilities.

"Ronishi, this is not your fault. They came here with a plan. Even if you were with me at the time, it would just be one more person falling into the tiger's mouth." Helia did not blame him. She knew very well that in front of guys as powerful as the archbishops, neither she nor Ronishi could resist. That was already a threat beyond the ordinary scope, a force of a higher dimension. If she did not have the power of divine protection, she would not be able to escape the tragic end.

In this case, there is no need to involve innocent people.

At this point, she suddenly thought of Ian Hill, who was kidnapped with her. She didn't know how he was doing now. Was he still imprisoned in the dungeon? Or did Wednesday or Saturday let him go after seeing that she had already escaped?

Uh... I guess he didn't just kill her...

Oh, Lao Yi, you're on your own! I can't save you even if I want to! I can't go back to the tiger's den for a guy who is full of suspicion, right? I'm not crazy! Helia thought.

"Is this all you have to say to me?" Seeing that Ronishi remained silent, Helia asked. She didn't think that Ronishi was standing there with an hesitant look just to apologize.

What's more, if this is to be blamed on him and considered as his dereliction of duty, then even if he has eight hundred brains, it will not be enough for Helia to do it outside.

"Your Highness, I have found out something." Ronnie took out a palm-sized roll of kraft paper from under his soft armor and handed it to Helia with both hands. Judging from his serious expression, it seemed that the higher-ups had recorded some extremely important news.

Helia unfolded the brown paper and read it carefully. When she was kidnapped that night, Ronnie was chatting and asking questions of Hawke's soldiers. Her hard work paid off. Under the influence of alcohol and rhetoric, she finally got some clues.

Twelve years ago, when Hawke was patrolling near the Sad Forest, he ran into Monday Talosk who was out hunting monsters for sacrificial rituals. The two groups were on edge when they first met. After all, the extermination of the Morogen Cult was written into the laws of the Otis Empire and could not be violated. So Hawke killed Talosk on the spot.

Hawke then took Talosk's body and some of the remaining survivors, and led a group of elite soldiers to the Duru Orphanage. Marshal Hawke asked to talk to the other side's leader. Although the accompanying soldiers had doubts, military orders were above everything else, and they were Hawke's confidants, so they would not disobey him.

When Hawke left, he took a six-year-old girl with him and adopted her as his adopted daughter, Avril. Hawke was extremely concerned about Avril. In the words of the soldier who revealed the truth, watching Marshal Hawke and Avril get along was like going back to the past and watching Master Hawke and Miss Madeline get along.

Helia: If my mother is resurrected, then what he said is true.

Marshal Hawke was always willing to help Avril, holding her in his hands and caring for her more than his own children. Hilda Okalai and Blot also doted on Avril, giving her everything she wanted.

But for some reason, one day, Avril came to the barracks to visit and comfort other soldiers as usual. But Marshal Hawke was very angry about this, and even scolded her mercilessly on the spot, and strictly forbade her to come to the barracks again, which frightened Avril so much that she burst into tears on the spot, but it did not make the marshal feel distressed.

After that, there was no news of Avril for a long time, and she was not even seen at some important banquets, as if she had suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. However, as close confidants, they did not receive any orders or instructions, so they thought that she was not kidnapped or ran away from home, but perhaps she was put in solitary confinement.

It was almost two or three years before we heard news about Avril again. She was sent to live in Elman's manor and only came back two or three times a year, always when Marshal Hawke was busy with military affairs and couldn't spare the time. Perhaps the father and daughter had never talked it out, which led to such a strained relationship.

Helia's eyes lingered on the line that said there had been no news of Avril for two or three years. She had a vague idea of ​​the answer, but she wasn't sure. She had to find someone who knew about the past to talk to...

"By the way, did you notice that Ian Hill also disappeared with me?" Helia asked.

Ronnie frowned, looked up at Helia, hesitated for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, do you need your subordinates to investigate this person named Ian Hill?"

"You were the only one missing that night. No one else was missing."

Hearing this, Helia was stunned. She stared into Ronnish's eyes to make sure that her knight would not play such a joke on her. But she still asked again uncertainly: "Do you still remember Ian Hill?"

Ronnie thought seriously for a moment, but he really couldn't find this person in his memory. He shook his head, met Helia's gaze, and replied: "Your Highness, I don't recognize this person."

Ian Hill's existence was erased... Such a sentence popped up in Helia's mind for no reason. She didn't know why she thought so, but it was as if she had experienced this before. Some of her memories that had never existed flowed out from the sealed box.

Erased? Does it mean completely disappearing? The entire existence of a person is erased from history and reality, so other people don't remember this person.

With such a powerful force, Helia could only think of one person, oh no, it should be said that it was an omnipresent existence - Order.

But why did she remember? Was it because she was sealed and protected by two gods? Why did He want to wipe out such a small and insignificant person in the long river of history and among all living beings? Who was Ian Hill?

She started to have a headache again.

"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to call a doctor?" Seeing Helia frowning and holding her head, Ronnie thought she was feeling unwell. Although she was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable, it was more of an irritation because the situation was beyond her control and expectation.

"No, I'm fine." Helia sighed softly, indicating that she was fine, and then ordered: "Ronishi, help me find Chico. I have something to ask him."

"We haven't been able to find Cheko in recent times. I don't know what he is doing. I'm afraid it will take some time." Ronnie replied.

"What are you busy with again..." Helia muttered softly. At that time, Claude asked her to bring Chico with him, thinking that her father wanted to use Chico to keep an eye on him, but now it seems more like he was using her as a cover to let Chico do something that he couldn't do.

Tsk! I don't know how long Claude has been plotting to take over this territory... But it's understandable. It's a national border after all, and Hawke is the commander-in-chief of the army. If he wants to rebel, it won't happen in a matter of minutes.

Claude would not allow such an unstable existence to exist. He guessed that the Antonio family had long been a thorn in his side and he wished to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Seeing that Helia was frowning and thinking about something again, Ronnie sighed helplessly. He didn't know why Her Royal Highness the Princess had so many troubles every day at such a young age.

Shouldn't Her Royal Highness be held in the palm of her hand like a shining pearl, pampered and loved, and blossom under the glory of the empire? Why did Princess Helia become different...

But Princess Helia was not an ordinary princess. Which princess would make an exception and promote a commoner to be a personal guard knight, and travel thousands of miles to learn magic? It can only be said that Helia was not a princess, but he liked this very much.

He stretched out his hand to hold Helia's shoulders and gently pushed her down on the bed. He then pulled the quilt over her and tucked it in like a child. He said in a tone that could not be refused, "Your Highness, you should have a good rest first. No matter how important the matter is, it is not as important as your health."

Helia was still a little dazed while lying on the bed. She turned her head to look at Ronnie and saw that he was staring at her and said to her very seriously, "Sleep well", but his eyes could not hide the concern, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

As the saying goes, health is the capital of revolution. She is a patient now. No matter how big the problem is, we have to wait until she recovers.

As soon as she relaxed her mind, she felt sleepy and soon fell into a deep sleep. But she seemed to have forgotten something, and when she opened her eyes and found herself in that pure white world again, she felt that she needed to discuss her second old father and negotiate her rest time.
