Cloud Thinking

Starley didn't go to her morning class, and followed Helia, looking at her with a worried look on her face. She looked depressed and didn't want to talk to Helia, and seemed a little angry, but Helia didn't know what she was angry about.

"My dear sister, have I done something wrong? You have to tell me so that I can change, right?" Helia grabbed Stella's arm and shook it, pretending to be pitiful and aggrieved.

Starley glanced at her and realized that she had no principles as long as she looked into her watery eyes. She decisively turned her head back and hummed softly.

"Sister~Sister~Sister, please pay attention to me~" Helia completely ignored her 1.7-meter tall stature and forced herself into Stellar's arms. Her voice was so soft that it gave Xiao Si goose bumps all over his body. She was acting so coquettishly that it was unbearable to watch.

But Starley fell for this trick.

She sighed helplessly, looked at Helia with worry and distress, grabbed her hand and patted the back of her hand gently, "Why don't you care about your body at all?"

"When I heard you talk about the dragon slaying incident before, I could tell that you don't take your life seriously at all. You're still treating such a deep wound so casually. What if it gets inflamed and ulcerated?"

"You don't worry about yourself, but I worry about you. The pain is in my heart when you are hurt. When I see you getting hurt, I can only blame myself for not being able to protect you and share your burden."

"Even if it's not for me, for your own sake, you have to cherish yourself and protect yourself!"

Starley's eyes became red as she spoke. She truly treated Helia as a family member, and she saw how well Helia treated her. But she seemed unable to help at all. If she hadn't come this morning, with Helia's stubborn personality, she might not even know that people were injured until they recovered.

What's the difference between a family member who only knows how to take but not give and a blood-sucking worm? She didn't want to be a burden to Helia, to be her blood-sucking worm without knowing it.

"I understand. I promise to protect myself in the future and never neglect myself." Helia said seriously, although most of the time the promises she made were like farts, especially promises like this one directed at herself.

Starley couldn't help crying, but she felt it was too embarrassing, so she put her arms around Helia's neck and held her in her arms, holding her head to prevent her from looking back, and she cried secretly.

[It's only been a few days, and you two have become so close that you can sleep in the same underwear. ]

Xiao Si couldn't quite understand Stellar's behavior. Although Helia was indeed good to Stellar, love was a gradual process. Stellar's reaction was as if they had been good sisters for more than ten years, which made its not-so-bright system brain unable to understand.

"Haha, I can smell your sourness from a distance of ten thousand miles. Could it be that you don't have such close relatives or friends, so you are jealous like a lemon?" Helia attacked mercilessly.

[Wuwaa——Stop talking! I’m going to lose my defense! Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu——]

After much persuasion, Helia finally managed to coax Stella into going back to her afternoon class. She then made an appointment with Vikes to go to the Red Rose Garden, intending to repair the little bit of brotherhood and sisterhood they had left.

Because her arms were wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, the sleeves of the top she wore today were loose and slightly flared. If she raised her hands slightly, the sleeves would slide down to her elbows, revealing her tightly wrapped forearms.

On the way to the Red Rose Garden, we could see with our naked eyes that there were more soldiers patrolling the palace. We also saw several of them interrogating people on the spot. Everyone was talking about what happened last night, saying that an assassin had sneaked in and made everyone panic.

And Helia, as the culprit who disturbed the peace of the entire palace last night, walked past the patrolling soldiers without any guilt, enjoying their greetings with peace of mind, as if what they said had nothing to do with her at all.

Yes, no one would associate that dark and sneaky assassin with the Pearl of the Empire.

"Is Her Highness Helia injured?"

The first time he saw Helia, Vikes noticed the wound on her face and the bandage on her hand. It didn't look like a minor injury...

He suddenly thought of the Royal Knights who broke into the Tanzanite Palace with great fanfare this morning and demanded a search. They said that an assassin had sneaked into the palace last night, injured Carlisle and then ran away. Now they want to search every corner and are determined to catch the assassin.

Noticing that the gaze of Vikes on her was tinged with suspicion, Helia raised the corners of her mouth and greeted him with a smile: "Oh, haha, senior."

Vikes felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "I am not worthy of being called Senior by Your Highness. You can just call me Vikes."

Helia chuckled twice, resting her injured left hand on the table to support her cheek, her sleeves slipped down to reveal her dumpling-like arm, "Senior, I'm Bailey. It's only been a short time, have you completely forgotten about your good junior sister?"

Wei Kesi was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot, looking up and down at the person in front of him in disbelief, with the word "impossible" written all over his face.

He looked at Helia carefully, trying to match her with the image of Beile in his mind. After the comparison, he suddenly realized that the two people were indeed somewhat similar.

It is difficult to change the bones than the skin. Even if Britney changed Helia's appearance, she could only tamper with the skin, but could not easily change Helia's bones.

Of course, the most similar thing between the two is their temperament. They are simply like cloth that came out of the same dye vat!

"You...you...you...? Bailey...? Are you Her Royal Highness the Princess???!!!" Vikes was so shocked that he was almost speechless. Although he knew that Princess Helia was studying at Carter's College, he had never seen her before. He thought that Helia was a mysterious person, so he didn't think about the possibility of a person changing her appearance.

But the person was always beside him!?!?

Helia was amused by Vikes's reaction, "Senior, it's me, don't be so surprised."

This was the reaction Helia wanted to see! Unlike Beavis Judith, who easily guessed her true identity, she didn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all!

It took Vikes a while to digest what was going on, and he forced himself to suppress the shock that was like an earth-shaking event in his heart, and sat down again.

"Does the old man know about this?" he asked.

"Of course, the teacher knew from the beginning that I had such a special identity and I had to rely on him to protect me." Helia shrugged, "And I was going for the teacher from the beginning."

Vikes looked sad, as if he had been betrayed, and said excitedly: "The old man actually kept it a secret from me? You kept it a secret from me too! Did everyone know about it, and I was the only one who was kept in the dark like a fool?!"

Helia looked away guiltily, touched her nose, and lowered her voice a lot, "Isn't it because of my special identity... In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, I have to..."

"Of course, only my close friends know that Bailey is me. Senior, please don't be angry..."

Vikes began to seriously recall his previous interactions with Belai. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. If His Highness Eric knew that he had said those words and done those things with Helia, he would be so angry that he would be skinned alive!

As if she could see what was on Vikes' mind, Helia reached across the table and knocked in front of Vikes to bring him back to his senses. "Bellei is Belai. She is just a student at Carter's College and a disciple of Mr. Mobicius. Senior, don't think too much. The past is the past, and the present is the present."

Although he said so, Vikes still had concerns in his heart. Because before and after he followed Eric, he would inevitably hear rumors about Helia. After all, she was the most beloved sister of his master, so it was hard for him not to know about her.

Well... after hearing about what Helia had done in the past, he actually cursed her in his heart, and even thought about what he would do if Helia made things difficult for him in the future.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he never expected that Helia would be his junior schoolmate! She was one of the few acquaintances he could trust in this world!

He opened and closed his mouth, struggling for a while, and finally decided to confess: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you... who said bad things about you behind your back..."

"You can punish me however you want. I am willing to accept the punishment."

"Hey, senior, why are you being so formal? I'm so happy to see you, how can I punish you?" Helia smiled and waved her hands, "I also know that some of the things I did in the past were indeed a bit wrong. You can talk about it if you want. Anyway, no one dares to make trouble in front of me."

Vikes looked at Helia's polite smile that didn't reach her eyes, swallowed timidly, and asked, "Then...then what does Your Highness want to talk to me about?"

"Ah, what are you talking about? Can't I go find senior if I have nothing to do? Senior, don't you miss me after not seeing me for so long?" Helia said angrily.

However, Vikes couldn't stand Helia's coquetry. In the past, he could still pretend to be calm in front of Belait's face. After all, he was not good at dealing with girls. But now, the one sitting opposite him was the pearl of the empire, the honorable Princess Helia. People who hated her talked about her personality, temper and behavior, but never slandered her beauty.

Helia's beauty is objective and recognized.

Seeing the other person's red ears and bloody neck, Helia knew that Vikes was shy. She thought he would make some progress, but it seemed that during the time he was with his brother, he had completely immersed himself in the world of men.

"Your Highness, please don't tease me..." Vikes didn't dare to look Helia in the eye. He lowered his head and felt his hot cheeks. Helia's sapphire eyes seemed to contain the sky and the sea, so beautiful that he was afraid that if he looked at them a few more times, he would be addicted to them and unable to extricate himself.

"Senior, I already call you senior, why are you still calling me Your Highness?" Helia was somewhat dissatisfied with Vikes's unfamiliar politeness. She came back just to build a relationship with him so that he could help her with things. How could she have the nerve to ask for anything if things were so distant?

Vikes looked embarrassed, "This is the rule..."

"In my place, I am the biggest rule, so just listen to me." Helia showed her strong side, and this time, Vikes finally felt that the other party was no longer the Belei he knew, but the real Imperial Princess Helia.

"Then...then what do you want me to call you?" Vikes was unsure. He had always called her Belle before, but now it was different. He couldn't just call her by her full name, right?

"Hmm..." Helia touched her chin, thought for a moment, and suggested, "Why don't you just call me Bailey like before?"

"This is just for you~"

"Well... okay then... Belei." Although Vikes felt awkward, he still compromised.

"Teacher...Teacher, how is he? Did you go back to the academy to continue your studies?" asked Weikes.

Since the end of the team competition, Belei disappeared. He asked the old man, and Mobichues told him that Belei was seriously injured and was sent to another place for treatment.

Now that he thought about it, it turned out that the old man had lied to him. Belei went to Sartide to recuperate, and then disappeared for a year. Recently, he heard that she had participated in the battle against Warcraft and defeated the Flame Dragon in one fell swoop, making a great contribution...

In these few short years, Belei... no, it was Helia who had changed so much that even when he overlapped the two figures, it still felt a little unreal.
