BXBX NOVEL Chapter 67 Offer
"I\'m afraid Adora will be upset when she sees this; the team they\'re up against is a terrible one," Nina mumbled as she went to the kitchen and Adora went to freshen up.
A little while after she finished, Adora got dressed and went to her car only to see Nina waiting there for her.
"Nina, where are we going?" she asked.
"We\'ll go to the cafe first, then wherever you want, unless you accept a meeting with..." Nina said nervously as the princess entered the car and they drove away.
"Meeting with?" Adora asked.
"Magical parliament," she responded and Adora scoffed.
"I will meet with them, but not right now," she said and Nina looked at her, shocked.
"Excuse me, what?" Nina inquired.
"I have plans for the betterment of this kingdom, I don\'t want anyone\'s mistakes from the past to come after us, and the parliament is doing things on their own, it\'s time I remind them who has more power, I will meet with them after Alix\'s fight with the captain," she replied.
"Are you certain about this?" Nina asked as Adora lowered her head.
"Sure about ending them, yes, other things I\'m not sure about, I don\'t have the answer to everything," she said, smiling.
"Whatever it is, you have my full support, and you will be a little angry when you hear about this," Nina said, drawing Adora\'s attention.
"Hear about what?" Adora questioned as they approached a cafe and the car came to a halt.
"They will be going up against the Red Claws," Nina replied, and Adora sighed.
"No problem, they just have to believe in themselves and each other, fight and never give up, and they\'ll be fine," she said.
"You sure are taking this lighting, which is scaring me a lot," Nina replied, and Adora patted her on the head, causing her cheeks to flush and she pouted.
"You seem a bit happy," Nina observed as Adora\'s eyes glowed red.
"I am not that bad," she said, and Nina laughed.
"I\'m glad things are changing," Nina replied as they got out of the car and went into the cafe.
"Some things are changing for the better and some for the worse; I just hope I can fix this, whatever it is," Adora said as they sat down in the cafe and Nina took their order.
"You are correct, things are heating up," Nina responded.
"Your highness," Leon said to Adora as he sat beside her, and she sighed.
"Good morning to you as well," he added.
"Good morning Leon, what brings you here?" she questioned.
"Can\'t I talk to an old friend?" he asked, to which she scoffed.
"We are not old friends; don\'t annoy me; what do you want?" Adora asked.
"I like how you\'re always straight to the point," he replied, and she gave him a stern look.
"Then get to the point," she said, "what the hell do you want with me?"
"Send one of your team members to join the Elite force, or you can join," he said, and Nina scoffed, hitting her palm on the table as Leon looked at her.
"Hear me, I am not going to say it more than once, none of my members are going to join, neither am I, but as I previously stated, if you guys need our help, we will help, don\'t bring it up again please, I am not going to change my mind," Adora replied and he sighed.
"Well, it was worth a shot, Adora, why do you despise us so much?" Leon inquired.
\'I don\'t hate you guys Leon, we just don\'t see eye to eye," she replied, smiling.
"You are correct, but perhaps someday I hope we can agree on something; tell your students I said good luck on the upcoming match," he said, and Adora smiled.
"I\'ll tell them, Leon, Kyllan, how is he?" she asked, and he lowered his head.
"They won\'t let him go easily now, they call them cursed breeds now, simply because they are mixed and they don\'t know their full potential, so far the only cursed breed there really is my brother Kyllan," he responded.
"I see, it\'s called genome editing, someone is creating something, and it appears that one of the person it worked on is your brother, they won\'t be able to find any trace of anything within that boy, they can\'t keep him there, they have to release him, and we can use restraints," she explained, and Leon smiled.
"You\'re right, I\'d heard about genome editing before, but I didn\'t think they\'d actually do it," he responded.
"Well, someone did, keep an eye on your brother, they want to make more monsters, but if he can control his new found powers, you will be earning instead of the enemy, am I right?" she asked and Leon chuckled.
"I guess now I understand why they say you are more dangerous than the king, you turn the worst scenario into a good one, you change things really fast, I understand why a lot are intimidated by you," he said and she winked at him.
"At least you\'re not a complete jerk; you know how to be nice," she responded, and he laughed.
"See you around," he said as he walked away, and Nina went to get their order then came back and placed them on the table with a box of pastries.
"You\'re assisting him, even though you don\'t particularly like them, nice," Nina said as Adora looked at herself in the glass and realized she was still wearing her mask and cannot have her drink as yet.
"I don\'t care what the hell people say, Kyllan doesn\'t deserve to be a lab rat," she replied.
"You are right, he is a good-hearted person, but you better be careful, the interest you take in Alix we all see it, he doesn\'t have a history of any sort. They might want to do something," Nina warned and Adora nodded with a smile.
"Relax, I am not going to let them touch any of my students," she replied, sighing as she looked at her cappuccino.
"I\'ll have it in the car," Adora said as she got up and they left the cafe.
