After hugging his father, he looked at Adora with a sweet smile on his face "I know, I never forget a promise, I just bother him now and then."
"She appears to be close to them," Alix observed.
"Yeah, she met them when her mother was alive, I bet they did a lot together," Zavis replied, and Alix smiled a little as he looked at Adora, who was smiling; yes, she was glad she got to see them, but as usual part of her was still missing.
"Will you guys join us for lunch?" the king inquired.
"Sure," Adora replied as he touched her hair and smiled.
"I am glad you came Adora, I really am," he said as he lowered his head and she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm fine, don't worry," she replied, and he sighed before smiling.
"Papa, don't go being sad now," Vince said.
"I know, kid," he replied.
King Adrain was tall, slim, fair, and had the same curly brown hair as his son, but due to their family genes, they can look younger than their age, which causes them to be misunderstood especially the king.
"Oh, please allow me to introduce my team and friends," Adora said.
"All right," he replied as Adora introduced everyone and they bowed their heads in respect to the king who smiled.
"There is no need to bow guys, I watched the match, the finals that is, because I literally had nothing to do or was more like getting away from my duties, but I am glad I watched it, you are all strong, great fighters, congratulations on winning the finals, just after that I got to know you guys are all coming here, making things way better for me," he said, and they smiled.
"Thank you," they replied.
"You are welcome; now let's go have lunch; the cook went a little overboard with the cooking today," he said, and Adora chuckled as they followed the king to the dining hall.
They all smiled as they entered the dining hall and saw all of the fancy-looking food.
"I told you he went overboard, sit, enjoy," the king said as they sat down, then smiled as Adora reached for the wine and poured herself a glass.
"Can I have some?" Alix asked and she looked at him.
"Are you sure?" she inquired.
"Yeah, I'm sure, it's not like drinking this one will get you drunk," he replied.
"Yeah, but you're not the type to...Never mind, here," she sighed as she poured him a glass.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ "Thank you," he said.
"There's no need to thank me, Alix; you're welcome," she replied.
"That's good to know," he said as they took their food and began eating.
"How are your parents, Adora?" the king inquired.
"They're fine, better in some ways," she replied.
"I understand, so your friends here, you guys seem to get along pretty well, I never thought you would become the warrior type kid, you are doing well," he said and she smiled.
"Thank you; working with them is enjoyable," she replied.
"At first, I thought it would be difficult to adjust, but I was wrong," Aerav said.
"Same here, I was a person with nothing after I left my family, the princess gave me a second chance with a choice, I am glad I am a part of her team," Ayden said with a bright smile and Adora stared at him and then smiled.
"Sure, that's fine, you guys can stay as long as you need, and Adora, there are a few things I'd like to talk to you about as well, you can share it with the rest of the team when I am done if that's okay?" the king asked.
"That's fine; we'll talk, and then I'll give them the information, right guys?" she said.
"Sure, go ahead, we will just relax in the meantime, after all, they said no training on the first day, I might as well be lazy," Alix responded and Adora chuckled.
"You can all go ahead and relax, because starting tomorrow, I am going to start training with you guys one by one, and day by day, you each get your turn, but one daily, no matter how long, get it?" she asked as they exchanged glances, and Kyris grinned.
"Yeah, that's fine; I'll wait patiently for my turn," he replied.
"You want to go first?" she asked and he smirked.
"Yeah, if I lose, it gives me more time to work on what I lack," he replied and she sighed.
"Fine, if that's what you want Kyris then you can have it your way, I am not going to stop you, I will be happy to see you all get stronger and stronger," she said and he smiled.
"Really? Are you sure?" he inquired.
"Yeah, really, I'll start with you and then choose from the others," she replied, and they smiled.
"All right, then," Alix said, "it's settled."
"All right, I'm done here; I think I've eaten enough for now," Adora said.
"Well, shall we go talk?" asked the king as he stood up.
"Sure," she replied as she stood up.
"Oh, before I go, the maids will show you to your rooms, just tell them and you are good to go," the king said.
"Got it," Kyllan replied.
"Well, you guys can do whatever you want," she said as she walked away with the king and Alix grabbed a few chocolates.
"Chocolates, too?" Kyris inquired.
"Eating them while doing other things can be quite nice, relaxing, one may say," Alix responded and Kyris chuckled.
"You are correct, and now I think I'll go find my room," Kyris said.
"Same here," Alix said as the maids led them to their rooms.
"Remember the back garden?" the king asked as they went to the back of the castle, looking at the mountains and hills, then at the river flowing beside them, and she smiled as he picked one of the pink roses in the garden and handed it to her which she sniffed.
