Cloud Thinking

"Your Highness Helia, are you okay? Do you need me to call a doctor?"

A gentle and low voice sounded beside her ears. Helia struggled to open her eyelids, but her body seemed somewhat out of control. Her body seemed to be resisting her arrival and dominance.

Obviously, no one was competing with her for control of the body, but she just felt an invisible resistance pushing her consciousness out.

"Your Highness Helia? Your Highness Helia! You look very bad. Please forgive me for the offense. I will take you to see a doctor."

A familiar voice sounded again, and then Helia felt a pair of warm hands touching her. She suddenly felt like she was floating in the air, and felt pressure on her waist and knees. She guessed that she must have been picked up like a princess.

She can sense the outside world, but she cannot control her body to respond. What's the difference between her and a vegetative person?

Xiaosi, Si'er, are you there?

Helia couldn't make any sound and could only try to communicate with the system through her thoughts.

【Master, I am here. 】

【What’s up, Master? 】

Why is my mission not shown as completed? My consciousness has returned, which means that Cameron's consciousness must have collapsed. She is dead, so why is it not considered as completed? Is there a problem with the judgment?

[My Lord, the judgment is correct. The problem lies with you.]

[The mission requires the host to escape unscathed. In your current situation, you can only be said to have escaped halfway.]

In other words, the reason why I can't control my body is because my consciousness has not yet fully returned to my body, right?

[Yes, my Lord~]

Si Er, do you know the reason? I feel like something in my body is resisting my return.

[Sorry, Master... When you first asked me, I checked your body and didn't find anything wrong, so I don't know why you said your body was resisting.]

[But from Xiao Si's extensive knowledge, my dear, you can't return to your body. Is it possible that your body is occupied by something else? ]

[Perhaps the guy who took advantage of the situation is resisting your return. He wants to take over your place! ]

But you didn't find the problem, did you?

[That being said, I occasionally encountered situations where I couldn't figure out the cause when I was with my previous host.]

[After all, in some small worlds, there are beings with higher dimensions than the main god space, and these beings are not something that a small system like mine can spy on.]

Helia was silent for a moment, as if she had thought of something, but was not quite sure. After hesitating for a long time, she asked again:

Si'er, can you help me check again to see if there is anything else living in my body?

[Master, wait a moment, I will scan it——]

[My dear, everything is normal. From my perspective, there is only your soul in your body, nothing else.]

Helia understood that in this world, gods were higher than the system. Wattsise could sense the existence of the system, but the system could not sense the existence of Wattsise.

However, the main god space behind the system may be at the same latitude as the gods of this world, or it may be a higher dimension - after all, it controls multiple small worlds.

Her current unexpected situation must be related to Watersise, but Helia didn't know what He had done and didn't intend to ask.

Some things, once the superficial illusion is torn apart, may never be recovered.

Sometimes she still needs to play dumb. At least in this situation of huge power disparity, there is no benefit for her to fall out with him.

However, now she was at least clear about one thing, that is, Watersiser was not as unambitious as he appeared to be. He approached her with his own selfish motives, and his words could not be trusted.

Moreover, the main god space behind the system can be used as a bargaining chip to fight against it. If she uses it well, she can find a new way out between the balance between the two.

We must find a way to get in touch with the Lord God once and find out the truth.

Carlisle was ambitious to move up the social ladder, and Claude also showed an attitude of unlimited indulgence towards Helia. If he wanted to have a smooth career in the future, he had to have a good relationship with Helia, even though he didn't like this arrogant and unreasonable princess from the bottom of his heart.

So tonight, Carlisle came to the Amber Palace with gifts, one to apologize for the search a few days ago, and the other to express his wish to live in peace with him in the Knights in the future.

But Helia was not there, or rather, there was hardly anyone in the palace. Xiasha was now with Stella, and Hegham and Eric were busy with Helia's birthday party, so everyone who could be used in the Amber Palace was captured to help, even Lydia and Ronnie were no exception. The entire Amber Palace was a little too deserted.

"Captain Carlisle, what important matter has brought you here?"

Vikes had just finished his patrol and was about to go back to rest when he ran into Carlisle, who was about to leave and visit again another day. Out of caution, he stopped him.

"I just wanted to discuss something with Her Royal Highness. After all, we will have more contact in the Knights' Order in the future. I am also worried that the search a few days ago might make Her Royal Highness unhappy, so I came to visit with gifts."

Carlisle wore an impeccable smile on his face and raised the tightly wrapped gift in his hand. It was quite large and it was unclear what was inside.

"Her Royal Highness is not in the palace now, please go back first." Wei Kesi rudely ordered him to leave, and said in a bad tone: "Also, even if it is the captain, he should hand in the visiting card first when visiting Her Royal Highness. The captain should remember this etiquette."

"Then Knight Commander Vikes, isn't it inappropriate for a grown man like you to wander around in Her Royal Highness the Princess's bedroom?" Carlisle counterattacked.

"I am entrusted by the two highnesses to work with Her Highness Helia. I am responsible for patrolling the surroundings and protecting the safety of the palace. This is my job." Vikes crossed his arms and raised his lips slightly. "I wonder if Captain Carlisle has anything else to 'remind' me?"

Carlisle was silent for a while, then raised his lips and said, "No, it's just that I feel that Her Royal Highness is not young anymore, and it would not be good to allow adult men to walk around freely in her bedroom."

"Even if Her Highness Helia doesn't mind these rumors, as a subordinate, I still have to consider my master, right?"

Both of them had smiles on their faces and spoke in relatively kind tones, but when their eyes met, it seemed as if sparks were flying, making people afraid to get close.

Vikes snorted and laughed, somewhat helplessly and with a hint of boasting: "Then Captain Carlisle, don't worry about it. Princess Helia and I are siblings from the same school, and we are students of the same teacher. In my heart, Princess Helia is like my own sister."

"Besides, it is normal for seniors and juniors to communicate with each other and learn from each other. Isn't this normal?"

"It is those who spread rumors that are the most hateful. They actually misinterpreted the relationship between Your Highness and me and slandered Your Highness's reputation. If I catch them, I will definitely punish them by pulling out their tongues in order to protect Your Highness's reputation and the friendship between me and Your Highness."

Not many people know that Vikes and Helia are fellow students, but Vikes now tells Carlisle a warning: Don't try to get close to Helia while I'm around.

As long as the Royal Knights and Eric's Magic Knights are still in opposition, as long as Helia is still on Eric's side, and as long as Vikes is still working for Helia, Carlisle will never have a chance to get promoted.

Carlisle stared at Vikes in silence for a long time. The two were of similar height, but Vikes was a little thin, while Carlisle had obvious muscle lines. But even if the two faced each other head-on, it didn't mean that Vikes would lose.

The competition between magicians is not a simple comparison of strength like that of brave men.

"Excuse me for disturbing you. I will definitely send you a visiting card another day. Goodbye." Carlisle took a step back, nodded with a smile, and turned to leave.

"Oh, right." Vikes suddenly called Carlisle, crossed his arms and tilted his head, and said jokingly, "Captain Carlisle, where is your sword? I have seen you several times in a row, but I haven't seen the sword that you never leave."

"Could it be that the damn thief stole it?"

Carlisle paused, did not answer, and walked away with big strides.

Looking at Carlisle's cowardly back, Vikes almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He had to admit that sometimes being a masochist was quite entertaining.

No wonder Bailey always likes to do this kind of thing. Why didn’t she bring me along for such a fun thing before?

The Amber Palace is very large, even larger than Eric's Tanzanite Palace and Claude's Dali Palace, which shows how much they love Helia.

Carlisle did not leave in a hurry, but walked north along the path until he reached the secluded and old clock tower, then stopped.

Looking beyond the stone wall, you can see the brightly lit Dali Palace, the most dazzling of which is the Executive Hall.

That was the center of the empire's power and the place he longed for most in his life.

He threw the gift in his hand aside. The heavy sound made it impossible to tell what was inside. He squatted down, untied the silk cloth wrapped around it, revealing a square mahogany box. Judging from its color, it should be a rare and valuable thing.

He opened the lid and looked at the exquisite porcelain bottle inside, and was silent for a long time.

He had spent a long time choosing this gift. After all, it was for Helia. As the most favored princess, what good things had she not seen? If it was ordinary gold and silver, it would definitely not impress her.

So he asked someone to get a porcelain vase with exquisite patterns and fine workmanship. Helia liked red roses, and this porcelain vase was just right for her to use to store the flowers. It would not be particularly conspicuous if placed in a place where she could see it every day, but it would remind people of the person who gave the gift after noticing it.

pity……

To be honest, he was indeed angry after being ridiculed by Weikes just now, but after walking along the way, he calmed down.

Being angry will not bring him any benefits. A person who cannot control his emotions can never achieve anything great.

He let out a long breath, closed the box, and prepared to carry the gift back to his residence.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a very violent magic power, which spread out rapidly. He was somewhat familiar with this magic power, which was the thief he had fought with that night!

Her Royal Highness Princess Helia?!

Without much hesitation, Carlisle left the gift where it was, ran quickly towards the source of the magic, and walked into a slightly shabby and desolate side hall.

He looked around and didn't see anyone, but the magic power was indeed spreading outward from this place. He used magic to hold up a ball of light in his hand and threw it upwards. Soon, the darkness in the entire side hall was dispelled.

He carefully identified the source of the magic power and finally determined that it was under his feet. There was most likely a basement here, and Helia should be underground.

Fortunately, the entrance to the basement was not particularly hidden. Carlisle opened the door and quickly moved down the spiral stone stairs. After a while, he came to the room where Camelin was imprisoned and saw Helia who was about to commit a crime.

She was riding on a girl, her hands tightly grasping her neck, while the girl underneath her was using all her strength to pull Helia's hands away, kicking her legs continuously.
