The stars, but they become the gray wind

"Mary, are you studying?" Charlotte walked forward with a smile and touched her sister's soft hair.

"I just finished my homework." Mary, whose head was being rubbed, blushed slightly and replied to Charlotte.

"That's good. I brought a book today." Beata, who was standing next to her, handed the book in his hand to Charlotte at the right time.

"Thank you, Beatrice."

"Mary, I told you before, do you remember?" Charlotte took the fairy tale book with a painted cover from Beatrice and placed it in front of Mary.

Mary took the fairy tale book with a colorful cover and opened it. As the pages turned, a three-dimensional origami picture folded on the pages was also opened. A palace made of colorful paper cuts and full of fairy tale style unfolded in front of Mary.

Looking at the exquisite paper-cut pictures on the pages of the pop-up book, Mary was surprised and delighted.

"This is a book a friend gave me when I was a child. Since I will be here with you for a while, I brought it from the bedroom." Charlotte said gently to her sister.

"Sister, are you going to live here?" Mary asked expectantly.

"Well, although only until the situation calms down." Charlotte nodded and smiled helplessly.

"After all, Mary must be bored since she can't go out most of the time, right?"

"No, because Olivia is usually with me."

"!!!" Olivia, who was standing by the door without saying a word, was shocked.

"Because Olivia is both my teacher and my friend. She's willing to play with me and even makes snacks with me in the kitchen while keeping it a secret."

"Oh, really?" Charlotte was also very happy to see her sister who seemed very free in front of her.

"Um... Your Highness... I..." Olivia on the side seemed a little guilty.

"Don't worry, Olivia, I will keep it a secret too." Charlotte winked at Olivia in the room in tacit understanding.

"Right, Mary?" Charlotte turned her gaze to Mary and asked.

"Um!??"

Just when several people were unrestrainedly pouring out their innermost thoughts to their closest people in the room, which they usually did not dare to say, a sudden knock on the door ruined the atmosphere and interrupted their true words.

Olivia walked to the door and opened it. Outside the door was the same stern face that had never changed in 1600 years, which always made people feel scared. The serious and old-fashioned Duke of Normandy walked into Mary's room without any warning.

"Marie! Hmm? Charlotte, you are here too?" The Duke of Normandy noticed that there were other people in the room and looked at Charlotte and Beata with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Yes, I came to visit Mary."

"I'm sorry, please go out for a moment. Mary and I have something to talk to alone." The Duke of Normandy turned his sharp eyes to Mary who was hiding behind Charlotte.

"Um..." Charlotte looked at her intimidating uncle in front of her and hesitated to speak.

"What I want to talk about is the issue of adding more governesses. Prince Edward is no longer with us, and Mary is now first in line to the throne. Her public appearances will increase dramatically, and she will need to be appropriately qualified."

"But this..." Charlotte was interrupted by the Duke of Normandy before she could finish her words.

"Charlotte, I'm not here to talk to you. Please go out first." The Duke of Normandy asked Charlotte to leave in a tone like giving an order.

"Send Her Highness Charlotte out." The Duke of Normandy ordered Olivia in the room.

"Yes... yes." Feeling the unquestionable aura emanating from the Duke of Normandy, Olivia could only agree.

Seeing that there was no hope of getting back together with her uncle, Charlotte leaned over and softly comforted Mary before leaving, "It's okay, Mary. I'll find time to come over."

"Beate!" Charlotte turned around and called out to Beat who was standing there in a daze.

“Ah…yes…yes!”

Before leaving the room, the two took one last look at Mary, who was holding the 3D picture book given by Charlotte tightly in her hands, with an uneasy look on her face.

"Charlotte." Just as Charlotte and Beata were about to walk out the door, the Duke of Normandy suddenly called Charlotte in a low voice.

"Mary is going to inherit the throne. It's not good for you to spoil her too much. Be careful next time."

In front of this strong and unquestionable uncle, Charlotte could only nod silently and reluctantly.

Watching the pure white anti-gravity aircraft in front of her land steadily in this clearing in the forest, Kalisi stepped forward and skillfully opened the door of the fully transparent cockpit. The Sakota girl with a halo and light wings jumped out of the cockpit lightly.

"Hey, Xixi and Yuki, is there something wrong that you suddenly called me here from so far away?" Aze asked as he leaned against the cabin door and stretched.

"It's not a big deal actually. And what's with that name you called me?" Carlisle frowned when she heard that name.

"Of course it's the nickname and endearment Yuuki gave you before! Since we're all old friends who know each other so well, it should be okay for me to call you that too, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay... but being called like that... I always feel like there's something weird about it?" Carlisle said, touching the back of her head.

"Forget it, forget it. It's up to you. We've known each other for so many years anyway, so let's get down to business first." Carlisle shook her head and gave up worrying about the nickname.

"The reason why I asked you to come all the way here this time, Aze, is because you are the only one among us who is good at this." Carlisle solemnly placed her right hand on Aze's shoulder.

"It is precisely because you are the only one who is good at this, so this important task can only be entrusted to you."

"Ah?" Aze was confused and had a lot of questions on his face.

"First of all... I remember you were pretty good at comforting people, right?"

"Well...that's true, and then what?" Aze asked.

"So, my dear Zemingluo, are you interested in being a caring older sister who can always be by the side of a cute and innocent little girl?" In order to highlight the importance of this task, Carlisle even rarely called out the full name of her old friend.

"Ah???" After hearing this, Aze almost couldn't wrap his head around it for a moment.

"Hiss...wait...little girl? You're not planning to let me act like a confidant big sister while taking the opportunity to seduce the little girl?" Aze, who was well aware of the sinister nature of his long-time friend, took two steps back.

"What are you thinking? Although I may have wild ideas sometimes, I wouldn't let you do something like kidnapping a little girl. This mission simply asks you to help a poor child who has long been under great pressure from her family elders and living environment."

"Here, the information has been sent to you through the mind network. Please take a careful look at it." Calisi packaged the original work and all the information collected by the drone so far, including screened images, texts, recordings, etc., and sent them to Aze through the mind network shared by several people.

"Hmm? Let me see... Hmm... A little princess who has serious psychological problems due to her background, long-term stressful living environment, and the responsibilities imposed by her elders?" Aze summarized briefly while carefully checking the information sent to him by Kalisi in his holographic vision.

"So, your idea is... to let me be the confidant big sister of this little princess?"

"That's right. Before Mary is overwhelmed by the pressure of life, she will really need a close-knit older sister with whom she can confide her innermost thoughts at any time, someone who shares the same status and background as her."

"Regrettably, Princess Charlotte, due to her status and the restrictions imposed by her elders, such as the Duke of Normandy, was unable to be by Mary's side at all times to provide her with support and psychological counselling."

"Although the maid Olivia was one of Mary's closest and most trusted people, she was limited by her environment and upbringing. Like Lu Xun and Runtu, there was always a gap in status between them, and it was difficult for her to help Princess Mary with certain matters."

"So, we need someone who can ignore differences in status and class, be with Mary 24 hours a day, anywhere, and not be affected by the orders of others, such as the Duke of Normandy."

"And the most suitable candidate...is of course you, my dear Aze!" Carlisle patted Aze's shoulder affectionately.

"Hmm... Although I'm really good at comforting people, they were all women around my age, or at most young girls a few years older than me. I'm not very experienced in providing psychological counseling to an underage girl."

Ze closed his eyes, sighed and said to Kali Xier Ling Ba Wu Ling Jiu III Jiu.

"It's okay... Since you have no problem providing psychological counseling to an older sister who is a few years older than you, I believe you can also handle the psychological problems of this innocent and lovely little princess."

"But this... these are two different things, right? Providing psychological counseling and comfort to a little girl and an older sister requires two completely different methods, okay?"

"Don't worry, I believe you can succeed. Just go for it, Aze." Carlysi smiled and gave a thumbs up to her old friend beside her to encourage her.

"Uh... could you please not be like that? Why do you look like you've been enhanced and are about to be delivered?"

"How could that be? I sincerely believe that you can provide psychological counseling and comfort to this helpless little girl."

"Okay, okay... I'll give it a try, but let me warn you, I've never comforted or counseled an underage girl before. Don't blame me if it goes wrong."

"Don't worry, as long as you follow the plan, everything will be fine."

"Oh...never mind, tell me about your plan."

"First and foremost, the most important thing is the first impression. Aze, don't forget what your first impression is like?"

"A weak and lazy person who looks like an angel and is good at providing emotional needs to big sister?" Upon hearing Carlisle's question, Aze answered instinctively.

"That's not what I'm talking about! It's the first impression that appearance gives people! The first impression!!!"

"Lying down with an angry look on your face?" Aze answered subconsciously again.

"Pfft!!! Why do you always think about this?" Carlisle covered her face speechlessly.

"Forget it, I'll just tell it myself."

"Aze, don't forget, your current appearance is that of an Angel. That's the key!!! A genuine angel. The halo and wings on you are genuine products, not some cheap props."

"Although the world has entered the first industrial revolution and the influence of churches and religions has greatly decreased, many customs and cultural beliefs inherited from religions are still very strong. You only need to stay by Mary's side as a guardian angel and provide her with timely psychological counseling and support."

"You need to be by Mary's side, like an elusive guardian angel who only she can see and communicate with. Just be there for her when she needs you most."

"As for how to convince them... your genuine halo and wings are the best proof."

"Just like the little girl's guardian angel in many fairy tales, this is your next job."

"Let me think about it... Being a guardian angel for a little girl, a caring older sister who can confide in her and seek comfort at any time? That job doesn't seem impossible..."

"Okay, then I'll try it." Aze thought about it and finally agreed to Carlisle's request.

(By the way, Aze is a weak character both in her own works and in the three-dimensional reality, and is often pressed down by her girlfriend.)

Chapter 68: Aze prepares to meet the little Loli (5000 words)

In a villa in central London, Aze stood by the mirror in one of the bedrooms and talked to himself.

"Oh... Really? You want me to comfort a child?"

"This is a bit difficult..." Aze muttered softly while looking at his reflection in the mirror on the wall.

"Hmm... maybe I should change my hairstyle?" Aze looked at himself in the mirror, tilted his neck, and reached out to touch the short hair on the back of his head.

"Hmm... let me think about it... should it fit the image of a gentle and comforting big sister?" Aze took out a notebook from his coat pocket and began to write and draw on it.

"First: You need to grow your hair a little longer and let it hang down behind your head. Second: Your expression and smile should be gentler, and you should wear some square-framed glasses to give yourself a more intellectual look. Third: You need to increase your bust size. Without a broad enough mind, how can you comfort the little girl while hugging her?... Well, OK, let's do this." Aze stopped writing and took a last look at the three items on the notebook.

Then, Aze closed his eyes, mobilized the nanomechanical units that made up his body, and began to modify and fine-tune his appearance.

……

After a moment, Aze looked in the mirror at his obviously bigger bust, his waist-length smooth red hair, and his face that looked very intellectual and gentle. Aze reached out and grabbed a bunch of red hair beside his ear and held it in front of his eyes to observe.

"Hmm... the effect seems pretty good?" Looking at the long-haired and big-breasted version of Archangel in the mirror, Aze nodded with satisfaction.

.........

Outside the room, Carlisle, who was sitting on the sofa, was sipping a cup of hot milk tea in a relaxed manner. At this moment, a door next to the sofa opened, and Aze, who had changed his style, walked out of the room humming a little tune happily.

"Pooh!!!" Seeing Aze's appearance change drastically, Carlisle was so shocked that she spat out the milk tea that she hadn't had time to swallow.

"Ahem...what's with this look?" Choked by her milk tea, Carlisle coughed twice. After using a small group of nanomachines to clean up the milk tea that she had sprayed on the carpet, she raised her head and asked Aze beside her.

"Didn't you ask me to be a caring older sister to the little girl? I thought the previous look wasn't good enough, so I made a II Jiulin Wu La VII Yi San that's more in line with the image of a caring older sister."

"Uh... so... you're... the long-haired, busty version of Exia?"

"Yeah, isn't it full of intellectual aura that fits the character of a big sister?"

"It does, but..." At this point, Carlisle paused.

"But what?" Aze asked curiously.

"But this older sister is actually a weakling who can only lie down in bed. Moreover, once a fight starts, she will directly pull out a bunch of guns and beat the enemy to pieces."

"Not to mention that this seemingly gentle older sister is actually a firepower-covering maniac."

"Except for the first one, am I that scary?"

"It seems you haven't considered refuting the first point at all."

"Haha, we can lose in bed, but we can never lose on the battlefield, so enough heavy firepower is necessary. Just blow it up, and it's the most universal solution!" Aze said this proudly.

"Well, I agree. As long as the equivalent is large enough, there is nothing you can't solve."

"What are these two doing?" Yuki, who had just pushed the door open and walked into the room, looked at the two people who suddenly got into sync and asked curiously.

In the kitchen of the Albion Kingdom's palace, the head maid suddenly summoned all the maids in the palace to the kitchen hall for a brief meeting.

"Her Highness Mary has become the heir to the throne, and the number of servants must be increased. We must do our best until Wang's condition stabilizes." The old head maid solemnly announced to the maids standing in a line in front of her.

"From now on, you need to be extremely alert and absolutely do not cause any trouble for Her Royal Highness Mary and other members of the royal family."

"Yes!" All the maids in front of the head maid agreed in unison, including Ange and Dorothy who were among them.

……

A moment later, the maids, carrying cleaning supplies, passed through a corridor in the palace. At this moment, Dorothy, who was mixed in the maid team, saw the man coming out of a room and walking towards her. Her face changed drastically and she shouted in her heart that something was wrong.

The Duke of Normandy walked out of the room after talking with a subordinate. At this time, a group of maids carrying cleaning tools passed by in the corridor. After seeing the Duke of Normandy, several maids gently put down the cleaning tools in their hands and saluted the Duke of Normandy who was passing by.

The Duke of Normandy, who was passing by, paid no attention to the maids beside him who saluted him. He just glanced at them and hurriedly left the corridor.

After the Duke of Normandy walked away, several maids picked up the cleaning tools on the ground and continued walking along the original path. At this time, Dorothy, who was hiding behind an open door in the corridor, came out from behind the door with a frightened look on her face.
