BXBX NOVEL Chapter 157 Among Us
"How can you two be so sure of yourselves?" At the very least, act concerned; the team they are up against is formidable; this could be their most difficult match yet," Yan advised.
"I know," Alix replied, "but I still think we are going to win," Adora smiled.
"You two can be scary, it\'s good to show some fear, Alix; you two really aren\'t that different, though Adora is more violent," Kyllan said.
"That hurts Kyllan, you are not that different either, birds of a feather do flock together don\'t they?" she asked and he grinned.
"You are correct, and I will not deny it," he replied.
"Good, I am glad, though Cameron, Olivia, and probably Isa don\'t always resort to violence," Adora said as the maids brought in their dinner.
"It smells nice," Cameron said.
"Help yourselves, there is a lot," the queen said as she took her food, and instead of eating in the dining hall, they decided to eat in the living room.
"I guess you won\'t be eating now, Adora," Cameron said as he ate, and Adora smiled.
"No, I will eat later," she said, and he sighed.
"I feel sorry for you at times, that mask," Cameron said.
"Please don\'t feel sorry for me; I am fine," she replied, and Alix and Nina both looked at her.
\'I wish that was true, you are changing at a rapid rate and you are more violent than before, but you are always careful around us, I wonder what the future has in store for you, it makes me worry more than anything else,\' Nina thought as she sipped her drink.
"Are we going to train tomorrow, guys?" Aerav inquired.
"I don\'t see why not," said Alix.
"If you guys even try training I will break something for each of you," Adora said, grabbing their full attention and Kyris smirked.
"Why are you resorting to violence o fast?" Alix asked.
"Because you guys are asking for it, there is a limit as to how much one should train, do you intend to kill yourselves? Exhaust yourselves before the match?" she asked.
"No, none of those," he said.
"Good," she said, "no training."
"Fine, cool down, we won\'t train, why are you more on edge these days?" Alix asked and Adora sighed.
"You observe far too much," she replied, and Eliza chuckled.
"You are very good at observation, Alix," Eliza observed.
"I like focusing on the things around me right now one bothers me a lot though," he replied and she smiled.
"I am certain it does," she stated.
"I don\'t like this conversation; please change it," Adora said.
"Then should we discuss how many hours of sleep one should get per day?" Alix inquired, and Adora coughed.
"You are the bloody devil in disguise," she mumbled. "I am starting to miss the old quiet Alix."
"He is gone for good," he replied and she sighed and then got up.
"I am going to take a walk, alone, you guys enjoy your dinner," she said.
"Be careful," Kyris replied.
"I will," she said, "stop worrying so much, I will be fine."
"Adora," Cameron called out and she looked at him before leaving.
"What is it Cameron?" she asked.
"I think I need some fresh air too, can I join you?" he asked.
"Do you think that\'s a good idea, Cameron?" "You shouldn\'t go out because the enemy might come after you again," Isabella warned.
"Don\'t worry Isa, I\'ll be fine, and Adora will be with me," he replied.
"It\'s fine, I will take him, he does need the fresh air," Adora said and Camron smiled brightly then left with the girl and Isa sighed.
"I don\'t feel good about something," Isabella said and Olivia smiled.
"You are just worrying too much, Adora is with him, she won\'t let anything happen to him, I think we shouldn\'t underestimate her, you guys should know once she makes her mind up, she won\'t let anyone get in her way," Olivia explained.
"I think I know that by now, which is one of the many reasons she is dangerous, but she is our leader so it doesn\'t matter," Alix replied and they smiled.
"He is right, now, you guys eat," the king said, and they all continued eating.
While walking outside, Adora came to a halt near the valley and noticed Cameron\'s concerned appearance.
"You didn\'t come for a walk alone, what\'s going on?" she asked.
"I am concerned about everything, Adora, because the spy is in that living room, among us," he said, and she sighed.
"I know it\'s one of them, in fact, I know who it is, but I am waiting for a bit, don\'t worry, I won\'t let them hurt you," she replied as tears welled up in his eyes while sitting on the grass and she stooped down.
"We trusted that person with everything we have got, we gave that person a place to belong, I don\'t know what to say," he said and she wiped his tears.
"Don\'t cry anymore, Cameron; it\'s not your fault; it\'s my fault for not seeing this sooner; I should have known," she said.
"Don\'t blame yourself, you gave us all a second chance, we are all grateful for that," he said, smiling. "I really want to hurt that person, not for betraying us, but for you, I won\'t forgive that person, I can\'t."
"You don\'t have to forgive anyone; are you okay with me taking charge of this situation, Cameron? I\'m going to kill that person because I\'m certain that person had no good reason to betray us based on my own research."
Upon hearing that Cameron looked at her with a smile on his face.
"Do what you must Adora, if you don\'t, I will," he said and she patted him on the shoulder, then both of them sighed while looking up at the sky, knowing that things would become much more complicated in their lives and that they would have to deal with it together no matter what.
