"How's your recovery?"
Fei Yuhan walked into Ward 402 with a stack of books and placed them on the bedside table.
"Thank you." Valkries nodded gratefully. "I can get out of bed and walk around. The doctor said that I'll be back to normal in about a week. "
"That's good. Even among martialists, your self-healing ability is top-notch. "Fei Yuhan smiled.
"Is that so?"
"The Force of Nature has a different effect on the body. Not every Awakened can be like you, who can fully recover in a month after the bones in your legs were crushed. However, you might not have seen a martialist suffer such a serious injury, so you don't know your own potential. "Fei Yuhan paused." You should be one of the strongest in your world, right? "
"Why do you think so?"
"My master always said that the strong are usually strong in every aspect. Fast healing means that you have an excellent bone quality, and your body has a strong ability to resist attacks. These kinds of people are usually one in a million when it comes to martial arts, just like me." Fei Yuhan said calmly, "When your injuries are fully healed, perhaps we can spar a few more times."
"Is that why you recruited me into your team?" Valkries said helplessly. "You're a super genius of the Association. I don't think I can help you with martial arts."
"It doesn't matter. Besides, you've been lying in bed for so long. You can only recover your strength quickly by sparring with powerful people. After all, the Fallen Evils won't care about your injuries."
"…" Valkries nodded after a moment of silence. "Then I'll be in your care."
"No problem." Fei Yuhan smiled. "By the way, I went to the city center yesterday and bought some special pastries from the Cargarde Peninsula. They're in the bag at the top of the book. You should be interested. After all, the three meals provided by the hospital are a little too monotonous."
At this point, Fei Yuhan noticed a slight movement in Fei Yuhan's throat — it was an inconspicuous swallowing motion.
Although the Cargarde Tribe could eat ordinary food, it was said that it was difficult to distinguish between good and bad. Only the unique ingredients produced in their Land of Origin could satisfy their taste buds. Fei Yuhan had tried this "unique" delicacy before, but she found it completely unacceptable.
Of course, there was also a small group of people who claimed that as long as they carefully tasted it, they would be able to experience the rare deliciousness of this world. However, this view was not recognized by the public. Therefore, food from Cargarde was only sold in some specialized stores. Compared to the majority of the residents in the city, the people from the peninsula were very few.
"Thank you …" Valkries hid her subconscious reaction well and thanked him again.
"It's nothing. I'm the captain, after all. It's my duty to care for my teammates." Fei Yuhan waved her hand. "But then again, you really like reading."
"Yeah, when I'm bored, I just want to find some books to flip through. It's become a habit."
"It's a good habit. There isn't much entertainment in the sanatorium, but there are a lot of books. If there's anything else you want to read, just tell me. "
"Thank you."
At this point, the two did not continue the conversation. For a moment, only the rustling of pages could be heard in the room.
Fei Yuhan stood by the window of the ward and looked at the scenery outside. The weather today was very good. It could be considered a refreshing autumn day. The willow branches beside the artificial lake drooped into the water, creating ripples in the gentle breeze. Further away, a flock of swans leisurely swam across the surface of the lake, leaving a string of white waves in the reflection of the blue sky.
This was indeed a good place to rest and recuperate.
However, the corner of her eyes never left Valkries. Through the reflection of the glass window, Fei Yuhan had been observing her every move.
She was not a warm-hearted person, and she had no interest in forcing others to compete with her.
The reason why she pretended to be like this was because she had accidentally sensed during the visiting meeting a month ago that this person might know Roland.
No, to be more accurate, she knew Roland, but Roland treated her as someone else. Those seemingly casual flirting were in fact to confirm her own judgment. Fei Yuhan believed that she was right.
But what puzzled her was that Roland did not show any hostility when he asked. His tone was rather relaxed, which meant that regardless of whether Valkries was the person he was familiar with or not, she did not pose a threat. But the latter showed strong hostility and nervousness. Even though it only happened the moment they entered the door, Fei Yuhan, who was walking in front, still caught it.
What kind of relationship would produce such a difference in reaction?
If it was a little more melodramatic, it would not be difficult to imagine a couple falling out because of love, and the former would go through ten years of plastic surgery to take revenge, and the former would be filled with regret, but Fei Yuhan did not think in that direction. The reason was that Valkries's subsequent control over her expression was too shocking. If not for the initial scene, even she would not have been able to discover any clues. If it was just a matter of love, it was really hard to believe that someone could do this.
Fei Yuhan had been very observant since she was young, and after her Force of Nature awakened, it reached a whole new level. Because of this, those who were truly familiar with her distanced themselves from her, and were even afraid to interact with her. For a long time, she had gotten used to this feeling of alienation, and gradually distanced herself from everyone. After all, she only needed to look at them from afar to be able to guess their thoughts.
But Roland was different. This newly promoted hunter from the Association was one of the few people she could not see through. It was the same for Valkries, who had a certain relationship with Roland. They were obviously hiding something, and the secret behind it was hard for her not to pay attention to it.
After interacting with Valkries for a while, Fei Yuhan was able to confirm her intuition.
This martialist from the Cargarde Peninsula behaved like an ordinary person, but there were still many details in his life that revealed abnormalities. If she had known him before Roland, she would not have suspected anything. But after thinking about it, these abnormalities could surprisingly be linked together.
For example, she had previously brought a snack from her hometown to Valkries. The latter did not show any joy at the beginning, but later discovered that Valkries had eaten it cleanly. But this time, there was a clear change in Valkries's reaction. At first glance, this did not seem to be a big problem, but upon careful thought, it meant that Valkries did not eat to fill his stomach, but that he did not even know the taste of his hometown snacks!
It did not make sense for a person from the Cargarde Peninsula to not have tasted Cargarde's specialty dishes.
In addition, in the past month, Fei Yuhan had never seen Valkries play with his mobile phone. Nowadays, young people could not leave their mobile phone for even a moment, but Valkries seemed to be disconnected from it. It was really strange.
And those books …
According to Valkries's request, Fei Yuhan had borrowed history books from the library. Although it was a good habit to love reading, Fei Yuhan had to admit that she did not have the patience and willpower to read a boring and tasteless history book for an entire day.
If the change in his attitude towards food was due to his initial lack of appetite, the fact that he did not play with his mobile phone due to his gentle nature, and the fact that he only read history because of his special hobby, it seemed to make sense. But for all these abnormalities to appear at the same time was too much of a coincidence. Compared to the above reasons, Fei Yuhan had a feeling that Valkries was quickly familiarizing himself with the world.
If it were any other time, she would probably just laugh it off, but after thinking of the words "Your Majesty", an unbelievable guess suddenly emerged in her mind.
She did not want to continue thinking about it because it was too horrifying, and even made her shudder. But once the thought emerged, she could no longer ignore it.
With it, all the abnormalities had a reasonable explanation.
In this city, some unusual people had snuck into it.
