Chapter 249 Fendrich
Just as Helia said, Aphra closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep. When she opened her eyes again, she was dazzled by a ray of warm sunlight leaking in from the window. She was deeply sunken in the soft and wide bed, and she had changed into a close-fitting and comfortable nightgown.
She sat up somewhat bewilderedly, and looked around. The meticulous arrangement of every detail showed the owner's attention to detail, and one could also sense the owner's preference for the person living in this room.
The vase is crowded with gorgeous red roses, which are clustered together and exude charming fragrance. Each flower seems to be carefully selected, with silky petals and bright and strong colors, as if telling endless passion and love.
The soft light beige carpet covers the entire room, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling. Its texture is delicate, and it feels as light as stepping on clouds. The carpet complements the overall tone of the room, creating a tranquil and elegant atmosphere.
Outside the large French window that is not completely covered by the curtains, the sun shines into the room through the gaps, forming bright rays of light. The scenery outside the window is looming, giving people a hazy beauty.
She hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, and her legs were almost entangled by the thin blanket on her legs, causing her to fall. Even such a beautiful and peaceful environment did not soothe her frightened heart.
She ran to the door eagerly, calling out Helia's name loudly, and looking for her frantically.
Obviously, Helia was the one who kidnapped her, but Aphra could only feel safe around her. It was really ironic and funny.
"Hey! What's wrong?" Helia heard Aphra calling her name like she was calling a soul. She raised her hand to signal the person opposite to stop, and then she stood up and walked towards the room.
She was bumped into by Afra who rushed out on the way. She hugged her, patted her back and comforted her.
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
Aphra heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that it was Helia standing in front of her and that she was fine. It was also at this time that she noticed other people sitting in the living room, and they were all looking at her.
She suddenly realized that her attire was not suitable for meeting outsiders, so she hurriedly returned to her room, using Helia's figure as a cover.
Helia watched her go back with a smile, then went back to sit down again, raised her chin towards the person opposite her, and motioned for him to continue speaking.
"Uh... Madam... There was a reply from the leader, saying that he will be here in the next few days." The man paused, collected his scattered thoughts, and continued to report.
What was Ansel rushing over for? Helia was puzzled, but she didn't interrupt and continued to listen.
This is Findrich, the central city of the Northern Continent. Logically, it is not within the sphere of influence of Taslai, but Ansel is an ambitious man. After he came to power, he tried his best to expand his sphere of influence. He has people in many important cities in the Northern Continent.
At this time, Helia had to admit that Ansel was extremely useful. At least now, when it was inconvenient for her to move around outside, Ansel could provide her with the accommodation, manpower and sufficient funds she needed to support all her actions.
However, her subsequent actions would not require too many of the opponent's manpower. After all, her opponents were from a magical family, those magicians, and she did not want to involve Ansel in such trouble.
Moreover, Ansel should be on his way back to Kenleka now, so why would he suddenly come here?
The Knights' open selection examination has ended. Ansel came to the imperial capital this time, firstly because he was invited to be a referee, and secondly to discuss many matters concerning the southern continent with Claude.
As for the third one... he probably came to give her some local specialties on the way and came to see her openly.
The first two had been resolved in the past few days, and Helia was now in solitary confinement, and he was not allowed to visit her. There was nothing else or anyone to keep him in the imperial capital, so naturally he had to go home.
At five o'clock this morning, before the sun came out, Helia hurriedly flew to Findrich carrying two huge bags, took the token and found Tasley's people there, and settled them down temporarily.
It seems that not long after she found someone, they sent a letter to Ansel...
Although they were Ansel's men, when facing a stranger like Helia, whether it was to verify her identity or for the purpose of action reporting, they should tell Ansel, the real boss.
However, Helia felt inexplicably unhappy about their attitude of doing things without even saying hello, but she didn't know why she was unhappy or what her identity was.
"Yeah, I see." Helia responded lazily and yawned sleepily.
She hadn't had a good rest these days since she left the palace. She was either running away or causing trouble. Even though she was as strong as an ox, she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Uh..." The three of them exchanged glances. The short brown-haired man sitting opposite Helia observed Helia's expression and asked cautiously, "Madam, do you have anything else for us to do?"
Even though they were still confused and had no idea why Princess Helia of the Empire would appear here with a token that symbolized the leader's wife, they did not dare to neglect this important figure.
What shocked them even more was that when they reported the incident, the leader actually laughed and very patiently instructed them to decorate the room they were in. His tone of voice made them shudder.
If they were not sure that no one could impersonate Ansel, they would definitely think that the person in front of them was a fool who was bewitched by a woman!
From this, it can be seen that even if Her Royal Highness the Princess is not their future leader’s wife, she is still the one that the leader holds dear and cherishes, and they can only serve her with the utmost care.
Helia slowly instructed, "You don't have to come here if there's nothing important. I won't be here often, so just leave a few people here to take care of it."
"But you have to help me keep an eye on the two people in the room. Don't let them run away."
"If the girl you just saw needs anything, as long as it's not excessive and she doesn't want to leave here, just let her go."
"And the other one is a ninth-rank great magician. If possible, it would be best if he doesn't even leave this house."
When Ganier heard the words "Ninth-Rank Great Magician", he was stunned for a moment, then he looked at him with undisguised shock and swallowed his saliva with some fear.
This... No one told him that the future leader's wife was so awesome! She could rub a ninth-level magician like a ball, cripple him, and then abduct him here.
Well, well, well, if the couple has a dispute in the future, will the leader be knocked to the ground by his wife?
Before Ganier could respond, Helia reached into her pocket, pulled out a handful of irregular gravel, and in front of them, she put it into her mouth and began to chew.
The crunching sounds of the chewing made the three of them break out in cold sweats. It was a sunny day outside, but they felt extremely cold.
This, this, this! How can this be a pica? How can he eat stones? This, this, this! Is it so fierce?
As expected of their leader, he even looks for a woman so different and so fierce!
Helia didn't know what they were thinking, but their gazes made her feel uncomfortable. She raised her eyes and glanced at them coldly, saying in a bad tone, "What are you looking at? Is it good? Do you want me to sit down so you can take a closer look?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison like rattles, lowering their heads as they shook, not daring to look around casually anymore.
Otherwise, they were afraid that they would end up like the ninth-level magician in the room.
After everyone left, Helia held her head and let out a long breath. She was thinking about whether to take a rest or plan things first, when she heard Afra's soft voice:
"Helia, are they gone?"
Helia sat up straight and turned to look at the corridor where the room was located. She saw Aphra clinging to the door frame, revealing half of her slightly messy little head.
She couldn't help but curl her lips and raised her hand to wave at her, "They're all gone, you come."
Aphra then breathed a sigh of relief and ran over like a little squirrel, still wearing the nightgown.
"I didn't find any suitable clothes to change in the room..." Aphra sat down next to Helia, her cold fingers tightly grasping the fair and strong forearms exposed by Helia's rolled up sleeves, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Helia pulled the small blanket aside, spread it out and draped it over Aphra, and adjusted her posture so that she could lean on her more comfortably.
"I'll ask them to buy it later. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Although she didn't know why Aphra was so close to and dependent on her, she was obviously the bad guy. It couldn't be that this guy was too simple and naive, so that as long as Helia, the little yellow-haired girl, was a little nice to her, Aphra would believe her wholeheartedly, right?
But, she didn't mind being nicer to Aphra. After all, it was to help Alfie and it wasn't that difficult to do. Aphra was obedient, unlike that guy who still didn't understand the situation.
Aphra lowered her eyes to glance at her stomach. She indeed felt a little hungry, so she nodded slightly.
Of course, Helia would never get up to cook for Aphra like the sweet and caring girl in the story. She went to cook not to fill her stomach, but to poison her.
Fortunately, people came soon to take care of their daily lives. Those three people were reliable. They hired two older maids who were quick and skillful and didn't talk much. They quickly prepared a hot breakfast.
Aphra eats very well, taking small bites of food. The more you look at her, the more she looks like a little hamster.
Helia asked the maid to call out Casper, who was still staying in the room. She didn't believe it. The noise outside was quite loud, so it was impossible for him not to wake up yet.
Because the environment was unfamiliar and Casper was blind, he had to hold on to the maid's shoulders and slowly walk to the dining table. Aphra even thoughtfully pulled out a chair for him.
When the three of them had almost finished eating, Aphra glanced at the maids who had gone to clean up the house and disappeared, then looked at Helia and asked in a low voice:
"Are we going to live here from now on?"
Helia nodded, "For now, if nothing unexpected happens, I'll probably stay here for a long time."
She was looking at Casper when she said this. As long as the two of them stayed here quietly and didn't cause any trouble, and she made some arrangements, the noble families wouldn't be able to find them in a short time, so they wouldn't need to move frequently.
"Then... do you need us to do anything?" Aphra asked again.
"No need." Helia said decisively, "Just stay here honestly. Apart from your personal freedom, I won't make things too difficult for you."
"Since you don't need me to do anything for you, why did you kidnap me?" Casper was puzzled.
He thought that Helia had captured him just to take advantage of his predictive magic and his status, but he didn't expect that she didn't want him to do anything. So why did she go to the trouble of capturing him?
"I was just in a spur of the moment, isn't that okay?" Helia asked back, "I'm a spontaneous person, I do whatever I want, I think you're pretty, so I got a lustful idea and took you away, is that a problem?"
Casper was completely silent.
He had never seen anyone so bold and shameless, nor had he ever seen someone kidnap him just because of his appearance. His mind was a mess and he couldn't understand Helia at all.
"Then... as long as I stay in this room, I can do anything else, right?" Aphra asked tentatively.
"Anything is fine as long as it's not excessive, but you can't contact the outside world, you can't escape, and you're not allowed to tinker with magic," Helia replied.
Aphra's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands lightly on the side of her face, and said with a smile, "Then I want to learn how to cook, is that okay?"
Helia & Casper: ?
Casper: No, sister, are you so relaxed? Do you really think this place is your home? You are even learning to cook. Do you understand the current situation?
Helia didn't know how to comment on this, but it was indeed something that couldn't be done, so she let Aphra go.
After dinner, Aphra pestered the two maids to get along well with them and ask for some cooking tips, while Helia took Casper back to the room, intending to look into his eyes again.
There is indeed no cure, the entire eyeball is already necrotic, unless you replace a pair of eyeballs, but there seems to be no such medical technology in this era.
Fortunately, there is such a thing as magic, and the healing magic has already exceeded the medical limit of the era when Helia lived, so replacing an eyeball should not be a big deal.
"I'll buy you a new pair of eyes after a while. Just be honest and don't cause any more trouble. I don't have that much time to waste on you." Helia said.
"What are you busy with?" Casper heard the conversation between Helia, Ganier and the other two, and knew that she would not stay here often in the future.
But he also knew that this was definitely not a chance to escape, as Helia would definitely find a way to keep a close eye on him.
But he was really curious about what Helia's next plan was and how she planned to fight against the aristocratic families?
"I'm busy causing trouble for them." Helia twisted her neck, feeling so tired that her mind was a little fuzzy.
"They?" Casper asked again.
"Of course it's the noble families." Helia thought of her future plans and couldn't help but let out an evil smile.
"I will defeat them one by one."
