Chapter 367

Chapter 153: Gathering Flies!

The light was somewhat blinding, and my vision was blurry.

“Ha! Awake, awake…” someone spoke beside me, their voice seemingly excited.

Immediately after, a huge face appeared in front of mine, with a head of golden, messy hair. I couldn’t see his face clearly, but he was too close, and his breath hit my face, making me want to punch him reflexively. However, when I tried to move my arm, I found that I couldn’t lift it at all.

What’s going on with me…

My head felt like it hadn’t fully woken up yet, and the whole world seemed hazy, as if I were in a fog. My mouth was bitter and dry, my throat felt like it was scorched by fire, and my lips felt torn apart.

Water…

The blond man in front of me turned his head to talk to someone else, his voice seeming to come from another world. I saw shadows moving around, and I wanted to ask for some water, but when I opened my mouth, all that came out was an incoherent “ahh-uhh.”

“What did you say!” the blond man shouted at me.

“Ahh… uh…”

“Little Charcoal, can you hear me?”

“Mmm… nnn…”

My tongue was stiff, and my head hurt.

“How do you feel? Are you awake or dreaming?”

What kind of stupid question…

“Uhh…”

I want water!

“Your Holiness, lower your voice…”

In my line of sight, another man walked over, patted the blond man’s shoulder, then bent down to look at me, “Little Xer, what’s wrong? Do you want water?”

I nodded vigorously.

Then the man turned away and returned shortly, holding a porcelain bowl. He leaned forward, gently supporting the back of my head to help me sit up slightly, and brought the bowl to my lips.

“Here, water.”

I quickly leaned forward, eagerly drinking the clear water in big gulps. The sweet liquid flowed down my throat and into my stomach, refreshing me like a miracle. In an instant, I felt much clearer-headed.

The bearded face in front of me gradually became clearer.

It’s Carlos…

“Cough, cough!”

I choked on the water and couldn’t stop coughing.

“Drink slowly… even if I’m the first thing you see when you wake up, there’s no need to get so excited.”

Go to hell!

Carlos took the bowl away from me, placing it on the bedside table, then helped me lie down slowly.

“How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable in your body?”

Uncomfortable…

“Cough, cough…”

I coughed lightly, looking at his listless face, and rolled my eyes in frustration.

Can’t you see I can’t move?

What kind of nonsense…

Not wanting to deal with those two men anymore, I licked my lips and tried to move my arm again… Ah, this time I could lift it.

My hand lacked strength, and my fingers felt stiff, as if they weren’t my own. My arm could only rise less than ten centimeters before falling back down with a “plop,” landing softly on the mattress.

Such a soft bed…

Where am I?

I looked around in confusion, finding myself lying in a room filled with solemn atmosphere. My vision was still a bit blurry, but I could vaguely see the white walls and the golden cross hanging on them… Am I back in St. Zayari Cathedral?

“Little Charcoal, should I start calling you Little Somnambulist? Do you know how long you’ve been asleep…”

The blond man standing by the bed spoke again.

Following the sound, I looked over and saw Angel’s sharp and handsome face clearly. His green eyes met mine for a moment before turning to look behind him, “I say… Margaret, should we cast healing light on her again? Look at her now, she looks like a hen trying to lay an egg.”

???

“Li! Chai…”

You’re the hen!

I couldn’t bring myself to curse, my teeth grinding in anger, my chest heaving violently. I glared fiercely at Angel with my eyes.

But the Pope, with his thick skin, naturally showed no concern.

Suddenly, I heard Margaret’s gentle voice, “Your Holiness, she just needs to rest.”

…Huh?

I blinked, turning to look at the Holy Maiden standing behind Angel, dressed in a pure white nun’s robe. I stared intently at her beautiful face, confirming once more… It was her, for sure.

Margaret really isn’t fine…

“I’m fine.”

Seeing me,

Confused eyes, Margaret slightly smiled, “Miss Silviga, thank you. If not for you waking up in time, I might have really died… It was you who saved me.”

…

What?

Hearing her say such things, I pouted my mouth.

It was clearly you…

“Hey hey hey, Xiao Heitan just woke up, don’t talk about those boring things first…” Angel scratched his hair and waved at Margaret, “Have the nun bring some porridge over. After sleeping for nearly ten days, Xiao Heitan must be starving.”

… Porridge!

Hearing there was food, my eyes lit up instantly. The feeling of hunger surged, and saliva almost flowed out of my mouth.

“I… I… Want… Want… Bowl…”

“Mm.”

Margaret softly responded and turned to leave the room.

Wait…

Looking at her retreating figure as she closed the door, my expression froze.

How long did they say I slept…

Ten days!?

“I… Broken… So… Long!?”

“Oh~ She can speak now… But it would be better if she could use human language,” Carlos shrugged, with an unimpressed look.

“So they call you Little Somnus… Hey, do you know that your body was almost completely inactive during this time? Not eating or drinking, just sleeping… At first, it scared us all, but then we found out you were just sleeping very deeply, sometimes even pouting and frowning, which was quite interesting… Did you have a nightmare?”

“Uh…”

Having a nightmare… Counts as one.

But…

It’s been ten days already.

Seems like the longest sleep ever. No wonder my body feels so stiff when I wake up… Ah, wait!

The armor I wore before seems to be gone now… Who changed it for me! What am I wearing now?! Is it clothes? There seems to be a thin layer… Is there?

My body is numb, I can’t feel anything at all!

I immediately widened my eyes, looking at Carlos and Angel beside me with a panicked expression, gradually feeling embarrassed and then angry: “Rimen… My clothes…”

Both of them were stunned.

Then Carlos squinted his eyes: “Little Silvie… What are you thinking?”

What am I thinking?!

I was thinking… That day I passed out. Before passing out, it seemed like there were only the two of them… No, Victoria came too. I remember, she was the last one holding me… Ah, that should be her who changed my clothes.

At least Victoria wouldn’t let me appear naked in front of two men, absolutely not possible.

So there’s nothing to worry about…

I felt a bit relieved.

Then I heard the Pope playfully say next to me: “Little Heitan, I checked you thoroughly! Don’t worry~”

“… You!”

Although I knew this person couldn’t be trusted and always spoke nonsense, a flame of anger still rose in my chest.

How could such a person be the Pope…

Gradually regaining some strength. I felt I could move, wanting to throw off the blanket and jump up to hit someone, but I only managed to lift a corner, and the rich fragrance of lilac filled my nose instantly. The nearest Carlos sniffed, and his drooping eyelids suddenly brightened.

“How fragrant…”

… Damn.

I blushed, realizing that after being in the blanket for so long, my body was sticky with sweat… Maybe there were other things too. So I quickly pulled the blanket back up, wrapping myself tightly.

“Punch…”

Half-buried in the blanket, I used my exposed eyes to closely watch the two of them, speaking in a muffled voice.

“… Porridge?” Angel raised an eyebrow in confusion, “Margaret ordered someone to make it.”

“I want… Punch! Open! Both of you, get out!”

“Uh…” Angel was stunned.

Both looked at me with fierce eyes, somewhat bewildered for a moment.

“Does the Abyss have morning grumpiness too?”

“How would I know…”

“Get out—!”

“Aah!”

“Quickly go…”

Carlos and Angel suddenly snapped to their senses, fleeing in panic.

“Hold on, Kaspersky!”

As I reached the door, I called out to the bearded knight.

“Hmm?”

Seeing him stop and turn around, I smiled sweetly, grabbing the porcelain bowl from the bedside and throwing it at him.

“You liar!”

“Dare to deceive me! Let me eat, Morlam Dach sausage!”
