March, the thawing snow in Paris has been replaced by the swollen river waters.
Perhaps aware that civilians are enduring the hardships of war, this year's water level remained below the warning line, only reaching the chest of the Zouave soldiers, allowing all Parisian citizens to breathe a sigh of relief.
As evening fell, several planes landed at the Paris Flying Club amidst the roar of engines.
The guards were on high alert, having driven away the surrounding journalists an hour prior, even apprehending a few hidden reporters attempting to take secret photos on suspicion of being "spies."
Charles was the one who alighted from the plane.
He was aboard a modified "Aphro," equipped with a more powerful engine and a recently developed enclosed glass cockpit, enhancing both speed and comfort.
This was Dorne's suggestion, who believed that as a commander required to frequently travel between major cities, a top-tier "Aphro" was essential for Charles.
