Chapter 5 - The first step is always troublesome.

— For the sake of trust, because now you know very secret information and from now on we will not take our eyes off you, know this. Charlotte explained calmly and affably.

Svyat's breathing quickened and he muttered.

— Oh, my f...

Svyat fainted.

Chise and Beatrice enter the room.

When Beatrice saw the boy lying on the floor, she asked.

— Did he fall asleep?

Ange is restrained and serious.

— No, he just died.

Beatrice was horrified. Chise spread her arms in relief.

— Well, one less problem.

— A new problem has appeared. — Beatrice said.

— What's that? — Chise was perplexed.

— How to wake it up... This esteemed one?

— He'll wake up on his own. — Ange spoke up — But first you need to put him on the couch, otherwise you'll catch a cold and it'll be more trouble.

Evening.

Svyat has woken up.

There are 1.5 hours left before departure. Ange comes into the room in an evening dress.

Svyat seeing Ange, immediately asks.

— Am I dead?

Ange in a monotone voice.

— Yes. — after handing over the other suit, he continues. — And I'm your guide, so change your clothes and let's go the world beyond that.

Greatly surprised, Svyat said.

— Ange...

— What?

Svyat, smiling, noticed.

— Unwordly dress.

Ange coolly.

— Go get in the car.

In the garage, our heroes met Steve, who was sitting quietly on the couch and eating a bun.

When the mechanic saw his friend, he immediately asked.

—Oh, stowaway, aren't you dead yet?

Svyat answers with a smile on his face.

— I'll only die when I crumble to dust, and what are you doing sitting there, a lamppost? I thought you were crushed by a car.

— Haha, where are you going, all dressed up? — Steve asked, taking a bite of his bun.

— To the royal house for a meeting. — Svyat answered forcibly.

Steve spoke without hiding his joy.

— Okay, good luck.

— Come on, don't choke. — having struck five, Svyat got into the car.

The girls were in a state of confusion.

The company went to the royal house.

Once inside, Svyat was immediately lost in the sight of unprecedented luxury. The squad headed to the epicenter of the celebration. On the way, they met the grand chamberlain. The man, seeing the princess and her company, asked.

— And you're here, Princess Charlotte, I hope you got there without incident?

Everyone bowed except Svyat. When he came to his senses, he also showed respect.

— Of course, I still can't understand why to arrange such a meeting and invite so many people. —Charlotte asked.

After thinking about it, the chamberlain suggested.

— Apparently there are reasons for that, but I see you didn't come alone?

Charlotte started talking with a smile.

— Yes, these are my friends from school and..

Winston's gaze shifted abruptly to Svyat. Ange caught herself abruptly, took the guy by the hand and, smiling, said in an innocent voice.

— This is my companion, he came from a town that is located near Aquitaine, he does not know the language and etiquette well.

— Oh, I'm sorry to think badly of you, we welcome guests, if you want to learn more about our places, you should meet with the Duke of Aquitaine. — The chamberlain bowed back now.

Svyat nodded smilingly.

The heroes dispersed, and Ange continued walking with Svyat. The guy spoke up.

— Don't you think that's too much?

— That you lied and called your companion? — Ange asked.

— No, I don't mind that you're too close, but if my nose bleeds or worse, it's not my fault.

Ange just smiled sarcastically in response.

After walking further, Ange noticed the Duke of Normandy and informed the Saint.

He saw Gazelle (the Duke of Normandy's chief secretary) next to her and asked.

— And next to him, what n...

— No! — Ange interrupts sharply. — And please don't do that here.

Svyat nodded again.

Dorothy and Chise walked past them, and the squad leader discreetly handed the note to Ange. After reading it sharply, she led the Saint to the exit. Charlotte and Beatrice stayed.

After getting into the car, everyone except Svyat changed into their uniforms. Noticing this, Chise asked.

— Are you going to ride in this?

— Hmm, let's figure it out. — the kid answered, opening the hiding place under the seat.

Svyat took out Charlotte's cape and asked.

— That'll do.

No one answered.

Arriving at the place, Ange and Chise walked along the roof in a key balloon, while Dorothy and Svyat climbed through the window. The building turned out to be a warehouse with weapons and explosives.

After looking around, the squad met at the far box, which was very impressive in size.

Ange whispers.

— I think there might be something more serious than a conventional bomb.

— Well, can we open it? — Chise whispered.

Dorothy in a low voice.

— Let's look around first, in case someone is guarding it.

Svyat serp accidentally opens a drawer, and one side falls with a crash and mechanisms fall out of it.

Everyone looks at Svyat with disapproval.

Someone shouted from afar.

— Is someone here!?

Everyone quickly got away with the help of a key ball.

When they got to the car, they drove off quickly. Ange asked Dorothy to stop on her way to the academy. Ange went out, followed by Dorothy and Chise, Svyat also got out of the car, inspecting his equipment and muttering after her.

— Is this our stop?

Ange took out and loaded the revolver and answered.

— Yes...

A shot rang out. The bullet accidentally bounced off the gun.

Svyat froze and could not move, it seemed as if the boy's whole life had flown before his eyes.

Ange sighed, put the revolver away and walked on.

Dorothy, patting Svyat on the shoulder.

— You're a lucky guy.
