Later that day, just after nightfall, Nina went to Adora's room to check on her.
"Adora," Nina said as she knocked on the princess's door, and although Adora was fast asleep, she heard the girl's voice and woke up.
"Come in..." Adora said as she sat up on the bed, and the girl entered the room.
"Oh, you were sleeping," Nina said.
"Yeah, I was, I am pretty tired, what's the matter Nina?" Adora asked while the girl sat on the bed.
"I was worried, so I came to check on you; I apologize for waking you," she explained and Adora smiled.
"Nina, you don't have to apologize; believe me, everything is fine; you just worry too much about me, and I don't want you or anyone else to do that," Adora said, and the girl sighed.
"I can't help myself, you constantly put yourself in danger, it's not good, what if something happens to you one day?" Nina inquired, and Adora lowered her head.
"There is nothing you can do Nina, I do what I have to do and you know that, if something happens and even I can't stop it, then that's it, Nina, I can't change my faith like others can, I created a lot of enemies protecting this kingdom," she replied, frowning.
"I understand what you are saying, but I really think you need a break, a little me time, and don't go on missions for a while," Nina said, and Adora smiled.
"I can try," she replied, smiling. "Relax now, I am fine, go get your rest, I am going back to sleep, I will probably sleep a lot for a few days."
"I understand, good night Adora," Nina said as she exited the room, and Adora smiled.
"Good night, Nina," she replied with a stretch and laid back on the bed.
"I have so much to do, I have to break Alix's seal, I wonder who put it there in the first place, I am certain it was done when he was a child, I also have to free the one within me, once that is done, I don't know what will happen, I hope I don't end up losing control," Adora mumbled before falling asleep again while Alix was assisting Sally in closing the bakery.
"Sally I am finished; is there anything else you need?" he inquired.
"No, Alix, thank you for coming to help, you can go home and rest now, after all, you are leaving again tomorrow," she replied.
"Yes, I am," he said. "I might actually start finding out where I actually belong thanks to a stubborn princess."
"That is a good thing, kid, she sees potential in you just like I do, you just need to know what you want out of life, and if you find more than one purpose, you're good to go," she replied.
"I see, well, good night Sally, I'll see you later," Alix said.
"Good night, Alix," she replied, then he left.
Upon arriving at his apartment, Alix went to freshen up, had dinner, and the first thing he did after that was got into bed and stretched off.
"Man, I am tired, I have been training a lot recently, I feel like my limbs will fall off soon enough, as if," he muttered while staring at the ceiling, and a little while after he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day when Alix woke up, he noticed it was almost midday and didn't want to be late, so he got up and went about his normal morning routine.
When he was finished, Alix grabbed the key to his bike, as well as the bag he had packed for the trip, and drove to the castle to meet up with the others.
"Adora, good morning," Nina said as the princess sighed and entered the living room with her travel bag.
"Good morning, are the others here as yet?" she questioned.
"We have time, why don't you eat breakfast first?" Nina asked as the maid brought the princess's breakfast and then left, and Adora removed her mask and began eating.
"Adora, will you be leaving today?" the queen asked as she entered the living room, Nina looked at her as Adora's hair fell in front of her face.
"Yeah, why?" she questioned.
"Nothing, I just wanted to know," she replied, sighing.
"All right," Adora said, and Nina gave a nervous smile.
"Good morning," Sarah said as she walked in, and Adora immediately formed a shield around herself to prevent them from seeing her.
"You are here, good morning Sarah," Nina replied as Adora continued eating and Aerav and Ayden arrived behind Sarah.
"Good morning, where is the princess?" Ayden asked, looking around.
"She is right there eating, the barrier only lasts a few minutes, so she will be done in a few," Nina replied, to which Ayden scoffed.
"Good morning, my lady," he said.
"Good morning guys, sorry for being late," Alix said as he walked in with his bag, and they smiled as Adora finished eating, wiped her lips, then reapplied her mask and removed the barrier.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ "Good morning, everyone," she replied, smiling.
"You are not late Alix, it's fine," Nina said as they bowed their heads in respect to the queen and she smiled.
"There is no need to bow; you're all Adora's friends, so it's fine; I hope you guys have a good time on the trip; and good luck with your upcoming match; you guys keep surprising everyone," the queen said, and they smiled.
"Thank you, your majesty," Alix said.
"You are most welcome," she replied.
"Good luck to everyone, and please be cautious." the king said as he came down the stair and they looked at him.
"Thank you, your majesty," they said, and Adora sighed.
"Adora, the ship and everything else is ready," Kyllan said when he and Kyris entered the living room, and she smiled.
"Shall we go now that everything is ready and everyone is here?" Adora wondered out loud, and they all agreed.
"Trouble princess," Xemon said as he appeared in front of them, and Adora was about to punch him for startling her, but she restrained herself.
