BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 Trust
"Your highness, can remove the block?" he questioned.
"It\'s already late, I have things to do," she replied, attempting to avoid his question, but as she walked past him, he grabbed her arm and her eyes widened as she looked down at him.
"You are not the type to steer away from certain things; I\'d like an answer, please," he said as he let go of her arm and she sighed.
"Of course, I can get rid of it," she said.
"Are you willing to do it?" he asked.
"I can, but it really depends on you Alix, think about it a little more, will you be able to bear the consequences if something happens?" She asked, and a smile spread across his face.
"Of course," he replied, and she smiled.
"Fine, I\'ll remove the block; if you turn against me in the future, I promise I won\'t hesitate to kill you, got it?" she asked and he scoffed.
"I gave you my word, I\'m not going to betray you, mark my words," he said.
"Even you, sweetheart, don\'t know what the future holds," she said as she sat on the soft grass and gazed up at the sky.
"You and your master, What\'s the backstory to that?" He asked as they watched the various creatures pass by, including a small phoenix flying over their heads.
"That\'s a long one, he\'s the mage\'s brother," she replied and looked at her.
"So Kyris being around you, putting his life in danger a lot of the time, does that bother him?" he asked, to which she scoffed.
"Probably one of the reasons he hates me, Kyris will never listen to him, he does what he wants, he is powerful, my bet is if the two brothers clash, there might not be a winner," she replied and his eyes shook.
"Are you serious?" he questioned.
"Yeah I am, are going to train or relax?" she asked.
"What do you think I should do?\' he asked.
"You guys have been pushing it a lot lately, you won\'t last long in a battle if you are exhausted," she responded, and he sighed.
"You can go run a bit boy, you deserve it," she said as the tiger roared and then ran off.
"Is it okay to let it run around in a strange place?" he questioned.
"That\'s one of a kind, he always finds his way, everything will be fine," she said.
"How powerful are you? You may be the princess and our captain, but we know very little about you, including your previous team "he said.
"So you\'re interested now, aren\'t you? What about me unnerves you, Alix? "She inquired.
"Those I don\'t give a damn look in your eyes," he responded and she chuckled.
"Alright, fine, do you think I\'ll ever leave you guys to die?" she asked, and he looked her in the eyes.
"You are unpredictable. I would say you would only make that decision based on the situation," he said as Eliza and the others came and she hugged Alix from behind, bracing her boobs against him, and his eyes widened.
"What are you guys doing?" Ayden questioned as he sat back on the grass, and Aerav, Sarah, and Liza sat with Olivia, Cameron, Yan, and Isabella.
"What exactly are you guys doing here?" Adora asked as Nina approached her and she smiled.
"They asked the prince where you guys were and he told them because they said you hadn\'t spent time with them for a while now," Nina explained.
"That\'s not true, they\'re always on missions, it\'s basically nonsense," Adora said, and they laughed.
"Of course it is. We just wanted to get to know you better, all of us, new and old team, you did a lot for us Adora, we weren\'t always in your life, we don\'t know much about you, yet you changed us, especially me, you picked me up from a gang for heaven\'s sake," Yan said, as she stared at their smiling faces.
"Don\'t trust me too much; I might be the one that kills one of you," she said as she turned her back on them and Kyris appeared beside her and they looked at him.
"It doesn\'t matter," he said, smiling as she looked at him.
"It doesn\'t, stop putting your trust in people as if it\'s nothing," she responded.
"If they don\'t care, it shouldn\'t bother you," Alix said as he moved Eliza away from him.
"It\'s clear that what you did for them means a lot to them, they trust you more than anything even if they don\'t know much about you, that\'s something you cherish, true comrades, ones you can rely on it\'s hard to find that these days," Alix said as they all smiled at him because they had all started to take a liking to each other and Eliza had taken more than that on Alix.
"He is correct, and we absolutely adore you even though you feel like killing us at times," Yan said, and Adora smiled as they laughed.
"You guys are insane, but thanks," she replied.
"Adora, may I speak with you for a moment?" Kyris asked as he moved away from the others, and she followed him.
"What\'s the problem?" she asked.
"They boy, you want him to get stronger, you seem connected, what\'s going on?" he asked as she lowered her head.
"Adora, what did you do?" he questioned.
"Can we discuss this later? I don\'t want anyone else to find out?" she asked and he sighed.
"That scares me a little, but sure, I want to know what\'s going on; please don\'t keep me in the dark on this," he said as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I won\'t; we\'ll talk about it later," she responded.
"All right," he said.
"We have a lot to catch up on, we can do it over a few glasses of wine if you want," she replied.
"You didn\'t change much, which is good," he said as she walked away, and he smirked.
"Are things going well for you again?" Nina asked as she went to Kyris and he scoffed.
"Yeah, we are," he replied, and Nina patted him on the shoulder as they joined the others in discussing the missions they went on.
