翁公和媛媛在厨房里猛烈进出

Everything looked so lush and green, and the bustling crowds added to the cool and nice atmosphere.

But I knew better.

Never judge a book by its cover!

Gesturing to the pilot of the helicopter, who resembled one of the security guards who protected the royal dormitories, Charlotte turned to me.

"Done admiring the view yet?"

Shaking my head, I leaned out of the helicopter, watching the sparkling blue ocean glitter under the sun\'s rays.

Just yesterday... it had been frozen.

What the hell kind of climate change was this!?

As the helicopter began to move, I sighed before leaning back in my chair and placing my hand in one of the many pockets inside my massive, corrupted sweatshirt.

Feeling a soft and spiky texture on the palm of my hands, I glanced towards it.

Inside my pocket lay a very peculiar yellow fruit that hadn\'t seen the light of day for a long time now.

After obtaining it during the World Tree incident and my fight with the corrupted figure, I was immediately pulled into a dream.

Then, after that experience, I had almost completely forgotten about the yellow mango-shaped fruit despite its usefulness.

Well, I wasn\'t complaining... at least I had it now!

It would be quite useful for this upcoming incident... if I used it correctly.

Letting go of the fruit and feeling it drop back into my pocket, I stood up in the helicopter, feeling the window rush onto my face as the helicopter slowly moved toward the center of the island.

Placing my hand on the bar inside the helicopter, barely managing not to fall out of the helicopter, I leaned outward.

The wind rushing into my face, combined with the sun\'s rays and beautiful view of the island below, made for an unforgettable experience.

Hearing a scoff behind me, I turned around just to see Charlotte smiling while staring at me.

"Are you a dog or something? Putting your head out the window just to feel the wind?"

Shaking my head, I sarcastically replied.

"No, but I would say I\'m a cat!"

Sitting back down, I reluctantly looked away from the island below and at Charlotte, who seemed to be waiting for me.

Leaning back on the rough cushion, I sighed before asking.

"You didn\'t give me this amazing helicopter ride for free, did you?"

Stretching her hands out, Charlotte grinned before also turning to face me.

"You know... I noticed something quite peculiar has been going on in the academy. I was wondering if you happened to know something?"

Shrugging my shoulders, I maintained a nonchalant demeanor before questioning.

If both Charlotte and Ruby could easily discern my lies... I didn\'t know what I would do at this point.

Just give up on lying? And always tell the truth from now on.

"Peculiar behavior? What do you mean by that?"

After silently staring at my face for a couple of seconds, Charlotte explained.

"I\'ve received some interesting news regarding the recruiters. Apparently, the principal has asked two of them to stay for this assembly."

"Isn\'t that normal? Shouldn\'t the principal want recruiters to be at the assembly to give the students a better chance of standing out and garnering attention?"

"That would be true if not for the fact that these recruiters are not coming to recruit but to participate in the assembly."

Saving me from responding, a voice called out from the front of the helicopter.

" *ahem* Princess, we have arrived."

Looking down from the helicopter, I saw the center of the gigantic building right below us, with students crowding in from all sides.

Dismissing the previous topic, Charlotte gestured to me, so I quickly grabbed the ladder before dropping it out of the helicopter.

*BANG*

As the bottom of the ladder collided with the metal top of the building, a loud clang sound echoed, causing some gazes to look up.

Looking at Charlotte\'s disappointed and angry face, I softly replied.

"...my bad."

WIthin a few seconds, over a hundred of the students crowding in were now staring at our helicopter with their fingers pointing upwards.

"... is that a helicopter?"

"what the hell is a helicopter doing on this island."

"Could they really not make the ten-minute walk here without a dam helicopter!?"

"Whose helicopter is it...?"

"Wait, who\'s inside of it."

Since the helicopter had lowered a bit, the sound of the students chatting amongst themselves still reached Charlotte and I\'s hears.

Staring at me, Charlotte coldly said.

"Well, it\'s your problem, so solve it yourself."

Then, without waiting for me, Charlotte emerged from the helicopter, her golden blonde hair fluttering with the wind.

Looking up, the students saw Charlotte, who was right below the sun, carefully descending the ladder.

"...is that an angel!?"

"no...is that the princess?"

As excited cheers emerged from the crowd due to their princesses\'s appearance, I sighed in helicopter.

Getting caught in a personal helicopter with the princess?

Well, why don\'t I just throw my plans of secrecy away!?

If it had been any other day, I would have been fine with being seen with the princess, but today, I needed to remain a mystery.

Leaving the helicopter right after Charlotte would cause everyone to watch my news moves, even when I was inside the assembly.

How was I supposed to sneak out when everyone\'s gazes were locked on me!?

Before I could even think of a way out, a voice once again sounded from the front of the helicopter.

"If you\'d like, Sir, I can... give you a parachute, and we can rise a bit higher."

"...that would be perfect; thank you so much!"

As the helicopter began to rise further and further up, people eventually stopped watching it, assuming that everyone had departed and Charlotte was only the passenger.

After a few seconds, the helicopter was now at the height of the clouds, almost completely invisible from everyone below.
