#To the Palace
The wind beast started elevating with a sudden shake. Juli felt a bit nauseous. She closed her eyes, and her hand grasped Timothy's as a reflex action.
She did not notice it until the chopper started moving on its course. She opened her eyes and saw herself clasping a hand. She looked at it for a second and suddenly released the hand with a jolt.
"Is it your first time flying on a chopper?" Timothy was trying to hide his smile.
Juli blushed again. "Ah, sorry! Yes, it is. I'm truly sorry!"
Timothy laughed, "No! It's okay! It's a pretty normal reaction!"
Juli could not answer. To hide her embarrassment, she looked out the bulletproof window on her side. She never knew how beautiful the city of Ayodale looked at night! As they gained more elevation, the nightlight of the city felt like brightly burning stars.
