Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 80

Feeling the world around me, it felt like how I died in my past life. Darkness filled the world I was in, and I felt nothing, absolutely nothing, just existing.

I felt nothing for Clare's death, nor mine. I felt nothing, not any happiness for killing Boras, who killed Clare, nor for my family, specifically my father, who is responsible for everything.

It was like this for who knows how long, and I waited for the same light to appear out of the darkness to take me out.

I waited and waited, and the light finally arrived.

I open my eyes in a pure white room, wondering what life I reincarnated into. I tried turning my head left and right, and I saw that I was alone in a white room.

The smell of medicine filled my nose, and I realized I was in a hospital. Slowly, I moved my hands to my face and saw that they were covered in bandages.

It took a while to set in, but I was somehow alive, and I was not in a dungeon somewhere my family owns.

With that in mind, I slowly move with not much difficulty, surprisingly, because I would have expected my body to be in ruins since I doubt anyone knows how to treat severe Ori poisoning.

Now sitting on the bed with my feet on the floor, I glance out the window for a bit to see that it is in the middle of the afternoon.

I don't know how long I have been out, so I'd better ask someone. But before that, I looked at a mirror, just to confirm that it was me in my second life.

I saw my face, just as I remember it, though I looked a bit thin, and the parts of my hair were fading back to silver, my original hair color in this life.

Taking a deep breath, I'd call out for a nurse to come; however, the people who came in first weren't nurses but Knights, specifically from the fourth knight order, from their uniforms.

Seeing me awake, they approached me and knelt in front of me.

"Greetings, Lady Rita. I am Sir Brax, and this is Sir Theon. We are relieved that you have awakened. We've already sent for a doctor. How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort or pain anywhere?"

Hearing them talk in a tone showing deference to me, since they know that I'm a noble, I straightened and instinctively switched to speaking as one.

"It's a pleasure to meet you two, Sir Brax and Sir Theon. Can you please explain what is going on and what happened when I was asleep?"

"Yes, right away, my lady."

Brax spoke first and then explained that I was in the hospital being treated for my injuries after my fight with Boras. Alex's party and Sarah carried me here, and I was asleep for a whole week. Following that up was Theon, telling me the days after my fight with Boras, half of the fourth knight order came in force to clean up the aftermath, including hunting down Redra and the remnants of my family's black knights.

However, when I asked about Boras and what they were going to do with my family after the mess they committed, they told me that they can't tell me that, and I need to ask their lieutenant for it because they don't have authorization to tell anyone, and I would have to go to Lieutenant Argena Vanca if I want to know more, who didn't really have time to meet with me.

"I see... Then can I ask what happened to Clare?"

Asking that question, I felt very melancholic saying that, and I wanted to curl up into a ball and cry, but I couldn't because... because... I needed to control my emotions, or else, in all likelihood, my mental safeguards would activate. Clare was dead, and there was nothing I could do about it.
