Heaven's Fall

Act 5: Introduction of a soldier and a princess

"Ugh.... My neck hurts..... What happened here?"

Kyle is sitting with his back leaned against a tree.

He tried to move but his actions are limited because of the tree.

"Looks like I'm tied to this tree huh."

Kyle said to himself.

As soon as he realized that he is with a tree, a girl came up to him.

"May I ask you one question?"

"What is it?"

"Why did I sense an aura of aggression?"

Kyle was speechless.

"Aura of what?"

The girl walked nearer towards him and asked the same question.

"I felt hostility when you moved out of that bush. And it was directed to Irelia too."

"Well, that action was a reflex. I didn't really want to move at all."

The girl turned her back on Kyle.

"Oh well, I guess you'll be stuck in here until someone happens to pass by and help you."

"Hey Celine, don't be so rough."

Another girl appeared from the dark.

"But princess..."

"I told you not to call me princess."

"I'm sorry."

The girl named Celine shifted her tone immediately.

"Uhm, can you release me from this tree now?"

Kyle asked in a calm manner.

"Sure. Celine, can you let him go?"

Celine silently obeyed Irelia's order.

Kyle stood up, while clearing dusts from his outfit.

"So, by any chance, are you the princess of that ship?"

Irelia and Celine looked at each other.

"Uhm, ye-!"

Celine unexpectedly covered Irelia's mouth and talked instead.

"No! No! No! I just call her princess because I want to."

Celine gave a wide smile after the statement.

Kyle sighed.

"You know, those acts are old school right? It just makes people more suspicious on you two."

Irelia slowly set aside Celine's hand.

"Your speculations are true, but, as far as I'm concerned, I can't freely say I'm the princess of the 2nd CC mothership because of some certain problems."

"And one is because some people will use you as a bargaining tool, right?"

Kyle asked a question.

"Yes."

Irelia answered, looking down.

"Oh well, I don't really mind not telling that information to anyone else. But first of all, if you want to wander around, why don't you two change your clothes? Those just gives away the information that you two belong to the space monarchy."

Kyle stared at their attires.

Celine stared back at Kyle.

"So do you have any suggestions?"
