Chapter 259 - Found Sleeping Beauty (10)

"We're going to get discovered if they notice the commotion behind them!" I shook her shoulders.

"You know, sleeping beauty is my favourite story tale. My brother used to always read to me when we were younger," she seemed to be recalling her memories.

"I always liked the part where the prince came to rescue the princess," she frowned as her brother smiled at his partner.

"So what are we going to do?" I found her still staring at the same place.

"I can add angel wings when you come down from the cloud. The cloud won't last long. You can distract her and take her away from my brother," she came up with a horrible plan.

I slumped down as we were now above the place with the most crowds in the garden. I sighed as I gave into her as I promised the fairy that I would watch over her in exchange for the spell. The only good thing was how Luke wasn't there amongst them.

"Is this part of the event?" One of the guests muttered.

"The neutral fraction is really doing things differently this year," another person commented.

I stretched my arms as I rose from my position of laying down on the cloud. As soon as I stood up, the cloud vanished as a large set of angel wings appeared behind me. Feathers fell onto the ground, likely from the ones I wasn't able to dust off. We instantly grabbed everyone's attention, including her brother and his partner. The large breeze appeared as the wings flapped, slowing me from landing on the ground.

The girl hid behind my wings, watching it all happen as I served as the distraction. Both Ben and Alice appeared shocked like they didn't know what to do anymore. Even Delia watched me, wordless as she soon unfroze to take care of the guests who couldn't take their eyes off me. The angel wings immediately disappeared as soon as I landed on the ground.

Her brother's eyes widened as I grabbed onto his partner's hand. Leading her away from him, creating a wide distance between them. I shot a glance at the girl to take care of the rest as I continued to drag her brother's partner into the crowd.

"Is this part of the event?" She paused.

"I apologize. I accidentally grabbed onto the wrong person," I pretended to appear shocked.

"For today, please stay a distance away from your partner," I warned her.

"I apologize, but do we know each other from somewhere?" She seemed extremely confused.

"We do, I know your partner!" I quickly made up an excuse.

"And there's someone targeting him today," I pretended to look around if anyone was listening.

"But I thought you accidentally grabbed onto the wrong person?" She looked down at my hand that still held onto hers.

What did she want me to say? I awkwardly smiled to get out of answering her question. Thankfully, Cillian walked towards us, interrupting our conversation.

"Luke is looking for you," Cillian seemed to wonder why we were together.

I took this chance to escape from the situation, "I apologize but it seems that my partner is looking for me."

I left Cillian with the girl as I dashed to a less noticeable location. I could feel the stares coming behind my back from the guests from my flashy appearance. I smiled when I finally had the chance to check the messages in my marble. It was almost time for us to go to the next event.

Unfortunately, I walked into Luke while I read the panicked messages from Sienna. In fact, the whole group was still together. Both Sienna and Henry appeared exhausted, the exact opposite state from when they have just woken up from taking their turns. However, I didn't expect Charles to be with them.

'It couldn't be that you saw everything?' I shot her a glance.

'We saw everything,' Sienna unfortunately nodded her head.

"We did tell you that Rika was in the garden," Henry grumbled.

"Please excuse us," Luke turned to drag me away from them.

"What did I say before coming to the event?" He turned to me.

"Don't talk to the guests if possible, stay relatively unnoticed and message you or others in the neutral fraction if I need help," I repeated his words from this morning.

"But I messaged the people in the neutral fraction," I pointed out I complied with one of his demands.

"Let's talk in the hover car," Luke noticed the others were listening to our conversation.

He quickly sent a message to all the members of the neutral fraction that we would be leaving to attend another event. I was pulled into the hover car like Luke was afraid I would get into more trouble if he let go of me. And this all started with that girl I wouldn't be able to watch over unless we attended another event together.

[Everyone saw the bed] Sienna sent me a message just then.

I sighed as it meant he knew everything that was going on. He probably already figured out everything was related to the beds. Why else would Henry be so desperate to cover for me? There were still signs of evidence behind the stage as well.

"This will not happen in the next event. Do you understand Rika?" Luke's face turned grim.
