The stars, but they become the gray wind

"Mary, remember? I promised to take you to see something more spectacular than the night view of London!"

The figure of an angel with long red hair emerged from the air, and the net rope that trapped the three people was instantly cut into pieces in mid-air. Under the effect of the individual anti-gravity device, Aze's nimble figure passed through the net rope that was cut into countless pieces and fell from mid-air, grabbed the back collars of the three people, and floated to the ground together like a fallen leaf.

"Angel?!!" Olivia, who was grabbed by the back of the collar, looked at the halo floating above Aze's head and the wings of light growing behind him in shock.

"Charlotte!!!" Anjie, who no longer cared about what the creature with wings of light behind her was, shouted anxiously towards the castle where Charlotte was.

"Don't worry, Miss Angel, I have friends with Princess Charlotte." Aze said in a very confident tone.

…………

On the other side of Scar Wu VI Qiqi's skirt, at the top of the castle, Charlotte looked at the military police who were surrounding her with guns drawn, and was obviously a little panicked.

Chise drew his katana, and Dorothy put her hand on the holster at her waist. At this time, a familiar figure walked forward from behind the surrounding gendarmerie.

"Arrest all of them and kill those who resist without mercy." The Duke of Normandy's female secretary gave a ruthless order to the gendarmes around her.

"Yes!" Upon hearing the order, the military police began to decisively approach Charlotte and the others.

"Do you want to try to rush over?" Qianshi asked Dorothy in a low voice, looking at the military police surrounding him.

"No, there are too many of them. We can't get through." Dorothy stared at the military police around her nervously.

"Princess Charlotte, have you forgotten something?

"I promised before that I would come to help you when you are desperate!" A very relaxed and cheerful voice suddenly sounded from behind the surrounding gendarmerie.

Before several gendarmes holding guns could react, they felt their bodies suddenly pulled backwards by a huge force, and then their backs were slammed into the guardrail at the top of the Fort, which was more than one person high. The violent impact made the gendarmes faint.

The other gendarmes and guards who saw their companions being thrown into the air finally reacted and raised their guns to look behind them. There stood a strange girl hiding in the shadows, wearing a black cloak and a hood. In her right hand was a slender cylindrical object with a strange shape.

"Princess Charlotte, I'm here to fulfill my promise. It looks like you need help now." The girl standing in the shadows slowly walked out of the shadows, and Charlotte took a glimpse of her true face under the hood.

"You are... Carlisle?!" Charlotte looked at the purple-haired girl whose identity had always been suspicious in shock.

"Why...are you here?" Dorothy was also very shocked.

"Don't move! I will shoot if you come any closer!" At this time, a military police threatened Calisi who was approaching slowly.

Hearing the threat from the military police, Carlisle just smiled crookedly and took another step forward.

Seeing that Kalisi was still moving forward, the military policeman pulled the trigger of his rifle at Kalisi.

"Be careful!!" Dorothy saw the military police pulling the trigger and anxiously warned Carlisle.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out. The military police, Charlotte, and even the female secretary who was hostile to everyone widened their eyes and looked in shock at the bullet hovering not far in front of Carisi.

The bullet floating in the air seemed to have lost all kinetic energy. Carlisle stretched out her empty left hand, picked up the bullet that had lost all kinetic energy and was floating in the air with two fingers, and brought the bullet close to her eyes to take a look.

"That's all, but remember, you fired the first shot." Carlisle casually threw the bullet in her hand, which had hardly deformed at all, to the ground, and stretched out her left hand towards the team of gendarmes present. The entire team of fully armed gendarmes instantly felt some kind of huge force, which directly pinched her neck and lifted her into the air.

More than a dozen gendarmes covered their necks in pain, trying to get rid of the suffocating feeling, but it was obviously of no use. Another team of gendarmes next to them saw a large group of colleagues seemed to be caught in the air by some mysterious force, so they panicked and raised their rifles to Kalisi and pulled the trigger.

Not surprisingly, all the fired bullets seemed to have their kinetic energy and inertia eliminated by some force the moment they approached Calisi, stopping a few meters in front of Calisi and unable to move forward. All the flying bullet heads turned directly into a pile of harmless metal blocks.

Kalisi suddenly clenched her outstretched right hand together, and the group of gendarmes who were caught in the air crashed into each other while floating in the air. Then Kalisi casually waved her hand, just like throwing away a rag, and more than a dozen soldiers floating in the air were thrown out directly.

"So... are you still coming?" Carlisle stared coldly at the dozen or so remaining gendarmes holding guns in front of her.

"Just a few of you? You think you can stop me? You'd better go to bed.")

"Who are you?" The female secretary leading the team looked at the mysterious girl in front of her who seemed to have some kind of superpowers, and asked with a trembling voice.

"Haha, just a photography enthusiast passing by." Carlisle smiled lightly, raised her left hand again, and clenched it suddenly. The dozen or so remaining gendarmes around the female secretary were instantly pulled together by a force and crashed into a ball. Many soldiers fainted on the spot due to the violent collision.

"OK... huh?"

At this time, a huge airship slowly rose from the edge of the castle and opened the hatch facing the castle. Two soldiers were operating a Maxim heavy machine gun and pointing the muzzle at Calisi on the roof.

"Tsk... that kind of stuff, no matter how much you bring, it's useless."

"But...this size is a bit troublesome. Let's use a more convenient method."

As soon as Carlisle finished speaking, a missile with a white tail hit the top of the airship at a speed more than twice the speed of sound. The missile equipped with a 300-kilogram azide warhead instantly turned the entire airship into a huge fireball falling from the sky.

Then, Charlotte and others who were still on the roof saw an extremely strange-shaped aircraft whizzing past their heads.

Not far away, the purple-haired girl with a burning and falling fireball as the background looked like a devil and a god at the same time.

"Miss Carlisle... who are you? No... should I say... what are you?" Dorothy asked in a trembling voice as the airship turned into a fireball and crashed to the ground, causing a violent explosion.

"Me? I told you before, I'm just one of the founders of Atlas. Our organization's purpose is to maintain world peace and stability, and prevent large-scale conflicts and any wars that might get out of control."

"What on earth was that ability of yours... the ability to grab things through the air?" Qianshi held the katana tightly in his hand and was still very wary of the purple-haired girl in front of him who was showing some power that he could not understand.

"Miss Dorothy, Miss Chise, have you ever heard of a saying?"

"The saying goes that any technology too advanced to be understood is indistinguishable from magic."

"Just like the C-ball in Miss Anjie's hand, what I use is essentially a technology that is so advanced that you cannot understand it."

"I've never heard of a technology in the world that allows people to pick up objects through the air..." Dorothy obviously didn't believe what Carisi said.

"So you suddenly appear here and rescue us for no reason. What are you planning to do?" Dorothy protected Charlotte and Beata, who had no fighting ability, behind her, with her right hand still on the holster at her waist.

"The reason is simple. We intend to help Mary escape the kingdom. Of course, we wouldn't mind helping you in the process."

"Besides, I absolutely cannot allow a child like Mary to be harmed or killed by an unscrupulous guy like Richard, so..."

"Aren't you afraid of offending the kingdom?" At this time, the voice of the female secretary, who had been frightened by Carlisle's strange power and was speechless, suddenly sounded from the side.

"Even if your magical power allows you to fight ten or even a hundred people at once, it is still impossible for you to fight against the power of an entire kingdom, right?" The secretary confronted Carlisle with a fearful and trembling voice.

"Haha, Miss Secretary, let me remind you: don't speculate on something you don't understand."

"And... a kingdom? Haha... that's funny. Just relying on a country like the Kingdom of Albion, they think they can fight against us?" Hearing what the female secretary said, Carlisle couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Forget the Kingdom of Albion. Even if all of Europe... no, let me correct you, all the countries in the world combined, they would be nothing more than an ant that we can easily crush to death."

Just as the secretary was about to speak out to refute the seemingly overly arrogant girl in front of her, a loud whooshing noise came from above everyone's heads.

Charlotte and the others looked up at the direction of the sound. Above their heads was a very strange-looking aircraft. Extending from the central fuselage to both sides were wings equipped with a set of huge propellers at each end. The entire fuselage looked very narrow and long. Strangely, Charlotte, Dorothy and the others did not see any devices like anti-gravity cores or airbags that provide lift on this strange aircraft.

The V-22 Osprey transport aircraft flew over the roof of the castle, maintained a hovering state, and opened the tail hatch. Several ropes with safety buckles were hung from the top of the tail hatch.

"It looks like my friends have arrived, Princess Charlotte. If you still want to protect Mary and Angie's safety and know where we come from, then follow me." Carisi walked forward and grabbed one of the safety ropes and buckled it around her waist.

"Besides, your identity as a Republic spy has been exposed. If you stay within the Kingdom, you will only be arrested by the Duke of Normandy."

"If you want to know the truth, want to protect Mary and Ange, and the people around you, and want to eliminate that wall, then follow me." Carisi, with a safety rope around her waist, extended her right hand to Charlotte and invited her.

"It seems that we have no choice at all, do we?" said Dorothy unhappily.

"In fact, if you choose to follow me, I will provide you with a whole new perspective and the power to change the world."

"If you refuse, you will be arrested by the Kingdom Security Department who will arrive, and you may spend the rest of your lives in prison."

"How about it, Your Highness Charlotte and everyone else? Compared to the worse latter option, the former is definitely a plan that won't let you suffer any loss." Carlisle invited everyone with a smile on her face.

On the other side, near the London Wall, the red-haired angel with wings of light on his back and a halo on his head that surprised Olivia was stroking Mary's head gently.

"Excuse me...are you an angel? Like the angels mentioned in the Bible?" On the side, bold Olivia asked Aze who was touching Mary's head on behalf of the hesitant Anjie.

"Angel? I can be considered one, but I'm not the same as the angels you see in religious myths and legends."

"If you really want to look into it, my species can probably be considered an angel, but it's not the kind of messenger of God that you understand in your religious mythology." Aze touched his chin and said to the two people in front of him who were looking at him in disbelief.

"Also, Miss Anjie, I believe you must have met my companions before, right?"

"Companions? Who?" Anjie, looking confused, carefully recalled all the people she had met recently.

"Karisi and Yuuki, I think Miss Anjie, you should be quite familiar with them, right?" Aze reminded with a smile.

"Carlisle? Wait...are they both yours?"

Anjie, reminded of this, immediately recalled the appearance of the suspicious-looking purple-haired girl.

"No wonder... those two guys seem to know everything... So there's a supernatural being like you providing them with information behind the scenes?" Thinking of that suspicious purple-haired girl who seemed to know everything, and the fact that Calisi had always said that she had her own special source of information in order to fool Ange, but she never mentioned who the source of this information was?

Even the past where they had exchanged identities, which only he and Charlotte knew about, was unknown to anyone except the deceased captain of the guards Winston. Winston had always kept his mouth shut during his lifetime, so it was impossible for anyone else to know about that except him and Charlotte.

And now, looking at the angel in front of her that seemed to be a supernatural being, Angel suddenly felt that she understood. Since no "person" knew about what happened between her and Charlotte, it was not certain that there were myths and legends or supernatural beings like the angel in front of her. If it was such a supernatural being, then at least those unknown secrets and information would not be surprising.

"I always feel that Miss Angel, you seem to have misunderstood something." Looking at Angel, who still had a blank expression on the outside but was actually imagining things crazily in her mind, Aze rubbed Mary's smooth blonde hair.

"Woo...Angel sister..." Mary, who was being controlled by Rua's head, muttered incoherently.

A loud noise came from far away and flew towards the few people. Aze looked up at the Osprey that was slowly landing, took Mary's hand, and called out to Angel and Olivia beside him.

"Okay, Ms. Anjie, if you have anything you want to ask or say, you can ask later. My companions have arrived, so please get on the plane first. Charlotte and your other companions are also waiting for you on the plane."

"Plane? Do you mean that thing?" Anjie asked, pointing to the Osprey that was landing in an open space not far away.

"Of course, who else could it be?"

"But to be more precise, this thing is called the MV-22b Osprey tilt-rotor transport aircraft, an aircraft that has both vertical take-off and landing capabilities and high-speed flight capabilities."

As the propellers on both sides rotated at high speed, the downward airflow blew away the fallen leaves and dust on the ground. The landing gear extending from the bottom of the Osprey touched and landed steadily on the ground. The rear door at the tail of the aircraft also slowly opened, revealing several people sitting in the cabin.

"Charlotte?" Anjie asked doubtfully, looking at her lover who was sitting in a seat on the side of the cabin.

"Angel! Mary!" After seeing Angel and Mary, Charlotte stood up from her seat and threw herself into Angel's arms who was standing outside the rear door of the plane.

"Great, are you, Mary, and Olivia all okay?"

"Miss Anjie, Sister Olivia, and I were almost caught while escaping. Thanks to this angel sister who has been secretly protecting me, she intervened in time and saved us."

"Angel sister?" Charlotte was obviously confused when she heard what Mary said.

Olivia on the side stepped aside at the right time, revealing the "angel" behind her with wings of light and a halo floating above her head.

“???” Charlotte’s brain was a little overwhelmed looking at the person in front of her who seemed like something out of a religious myth or legend.

"Hello! Princess Charlotte, this should be the first time we meet, right? Besides, I am very familiar with you." Aze greeted Charlotte happily.

"Okay, let's talk on the plane. There's a whole team of Kingdom Military Police heading here. We'd better take the people on the plane and leave here as soon as possible. It's not impossible to blow them up directly, but I think it's better to cause fewer collateral casualties." At this time, Calisi walked out of the cockpit and urged everyone.

"Wait a minute, were you flying the plane just now?" At this time, thinking of Yuki's reminder to him before, Aze suddenly asked Carisi.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"I remember this plane had an AI autopilot system, didn't it?"

"Yes, but I'd rather try fishing myself and see how it feels."

"That... Xixi..."

"What's the matter? Why are you suddenly calling me a nickname?"

"Um... on the way back, can we just leave it to the autopilot system?"

"Of course I can...but I'd rather fly the plane myself."

"No, no, no... No need. Just stay in the back cabin and don't go near the cockpit."

"Huh? I think my driving skills are pretty good, right?"

"No, no, no, that's really not necessary. Just sit in the back and let the flying be done by autopilot." Thinking of Yuki's psychologically traumatized look before, Aze decisively refused to let Carisi fly the plane.

As Charlotte and the angel with wings of light entered the cabin, Mary, Angel, and Olivia saw a figure that shouldn't be there.

"Why are you here?" Olivia asked in surprise, staring at the secretary who was strapped to her seat.

"Well... this is a long story. Anyway, I came to arrest the spies who colluded with the Republic to abduct Her Highness Mary, but... they were all knocked down... I brought hundreds of guards and gendarmes, and they were all knocked down by that girl named Carlisle with some kind of superpower... She just waved her hand in the air, and all the guards were thrown out like rags. All the bullets fired at her stopped in the air around her when they were still a few meters away from her, which was totally against common sense..." The secretary, who was tied to the seat with a seat belt, said with a look of despair on her face.

"This..." Olivia didn't know what to say when she saw this. At this time, Aze also walked past the female secretary. When she saw the angel passing by, the female secretary, who had originally looked hopeless, widened her eyes.

"This...this...this is...an angel?" The female secretary looked at Aze who walked to the other side of the plane and sat down with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Oh? Hello, Miss Secretary, it seems like you're getting along very well with my colleague Xiao Xixi. Don't worry, as long as you don't show any hostility towards her, she won't hurt you."

"Besides, when she knocked down the team of guards you led just now, that guy just wanted to cosplay Darth Vader." Aze said to the female secretary sitting opposite him with a relaxed expression while fastening his seat belt.

"Who is Darth Vader?" Mary, who was sitting next to Aze, asked curiously.

"He's just a guy who likes to strangle people from a distance like Carlisle." Aze answered after helping Mary beside him fasten her seat belt.

"Ahem, let me correct you. I don't like to choke people. I just used a personal gravity traction device and a kinetic energy neutralization stance. But the effect, it looks quite Force-like."

At this time, Carlisle, who was sitting on the other side of the cabin, corrected her.

"Also, Aze, why are you sitting so close to the cockpit?"

"Of course, it's to prevent you from touching the joystick in the cockpit..."
