Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

Repairing time (217)

Ignoring the pain surging through his body, Kai reached out and softly shook Cecilia's shoulder. When she didn't wake up after the first attempt, he leaned a little closer and whispered:

"Cecilia."

Cecilia's eyelids trembled as they slowly began to open, her green eyes looking like the most beautiful of gemstones. Kai has forgotten how close they were in favour of admiring the sight before him.

Once her eyes were open and Cecilia has remembered where she was, she panicked a little as she scrambled up. She looked down and softly felt Kai's arm, where she had been resting her head, for any other damage. She really hadn't meant to fall asleep there.

Once she was sure that Kai's arm hadn't suffered from being used as a pillow, she relaxed a little.

"Sir, you are awake."

Kai nodded.

"I am... How long has it been though?"

Cecilia shifted slightly.

"A little over five days."

She then paused before asking:

"...How are you feeling?"

Kai sighed softly. He had been passed out for over five days, a new personal record by a mile.

As for how he was feeling?

"Shit... I feel like shit."

Both mentally and physically, Kai felt the worst he had ever felt.

He had thought that getting to the teleporter would be the end of their troubles, but in reality it was only the halfway point. Now they had an even more treacherous journey to take on, traversing a blizzard infested with unforseen horrors and climbing an extremely steep mountain.

And all of this has to be done within five months.

Great.

Cecilia remained silent, reaching out and softly tracing a finger over one of the many bruises on Kai's body. She herself had a pained expression on her face, like she was feeling guilty.

"I'm sorry if you are feeling any pain, but I've already given you your HP potions for the day, so you will have to wait to get them."

Kai let out a pained sigh.

"That's fine."

He then looked around the tent. It wasn't a spacious area, but Kai already knew that it hadn't been chosen for comfort, it probably had some sort of camouflaging or scent covering feature, hence the white colour.

The lantern beside Petunia didn't seem to be giving out much heat either, so Kai assumed that it was mainly used for another feature as well.

And the pads attached to him were presumably healing items or just items that healed bruises specifically, if rather slowly.

All of these were things that Cecilia had ransacked from the treasury of the castle while Kai had been distracting Ezekial.

Curiously, Kai glanced down at the ring on her finger.

"Is there anything useful in there?"

Cecilia paused for a moment before softly shaking her head.

"There is a large amount of potions, things that can be sold for Units and other things that can be used for utility, but all of the important items Anastasia kept on herself as she didn't trust the treasury."

Kai inwardly cursed.

So all of the valuable things had been lost back in that city, while they had ended up with mostly useless things.
