Chapter 134 Open For A Day

"Is it okay if I leave you out for a while today?" Adora inquired, and the shadow smirked.

"Of course it is, are you all right?" "You seem to be bothered by something," it replied.

"Don't worry, I am fine; Alix will probably sense your presence, so don't be surprised if he does," she explained.

"Roger that, I get to see everyone today," he said, and the shadow vanished. She smiled and exited the room, heading to the kitchen for something to eat.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, Adora saw her aunt drinking a glass of juice.

"Did you come to eat, Adora?" the queen questioned.

"I got hungry," she said, and the queen smiled.

"Hurry up and take off that bloody mask, lock the door, and eat, no one needs to come in here for now," the queen said before leaving, and Adora locked the door, removed her mask, took a plate of food, and began eating.

"Where do you want to go first, guys?" Niya questioned as they all returned to the living room after changing.

"How about we all go to lunch somewhere that's good?" Kyris asked and they all agreed.

"Guys, we are being a little inconsiderate here," Nina said, drawing their attention to her.

"Ah, the princess, I have seen how difficult it is for her to wear the mask," Alix said, and Kyris sighed.

"She has a lot of reasons why she can't take it off," Kyris responded.

"You guys really need to stop overthinking, I just ate so I am fine, you guys can go to lunch, I am full," Adora said as she walked into the living room, and Alix's eyes glowed red as he sensed another presence around her but said nothing.

"But are you still coming with us, or have you changed your mind?" Yan asked.

"Stop worrying, damn, I am coming with you guys, I want to see something new today too," she replied, and they smiled.

"Well, let's get going then," Niya said as her brother entered the living room, talking on the phone. Niya grabbed the phone from his grasp and he looked at her sternly.

"What in the world are you doing? I'm speaking with someone," he stated.

"I don't care who you are talking to; listen, you're coming to lunch with us," she responded.

"No, I am not, and you can't make me either," he said.

"I swear I am going to complain to dad and piss him off, and then you will see who isn't going," she replied, gnashing his teeth.

"You are evil," he declared.

"Think of it as payback for how you treated Adora, I even felt like killing you, be careful, bro, let's go guys," she replied, and Ayden whistled as they followed her.

They all got in their cars and drove to the same restaurant where the driver had taken Adora and the others when they first arrived.

While they were driving, Adora's phone rang, and she answered it because it was Zack calling.

"Good day," she said.

"Good day Adora, I apologize for calling again, but after doing some research, I discovered that the last people to ever see the energy source and what it was is your family, I think you should ask them about it," he replied, and Adora cast a glance at Zavis who was in the same car with her.

"I think I will do it," she said, "is there anything else Zack?"

"No, I am going to get lunch now; see you later," he replied.

"See you later," she said before hanging up and rolling down the window to look outside.

'The reason I left the seal open today is so you can look around the city, you've been gone for too long,' Adora thought as she looked at every fancy thing they passed by, including people and their monster pets.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they parked their cars and got out, when the staff saw it was Niya, they all bowed to her because she was the princess.

"Please don't do that; can we get a big booth in the VIP section for ourselves?" Niya inquired.

"Sure, ma'am, follow me," the waiter said as he walked away, and they followed him until Adora bumped into someone, and when she turned to apologize, she saw it was Zack.

"Zack," Zavis called out, and Zack smiled before turning to face them.

"What are you doing here?" Zack questioned.

"They forced me to join them for lunch, you came to have lunch too?" Zavis asked.

"Yeah, I just talked to Adora too; I didn't realize you guys were coming," he replied, and Adora smiled.

"Join us for lunch, you guys are good friends, and we are too, so what do you say, Zack?" Adora asked.

"Sure, I don't mind, I will eat and leave, I have a lot of work to do, damn this tournament puts a lot of pressure on us," Zack said as they walked to the booth and sat down, and everyone was glad that Zack had joined them.

"Do you usually eat here, Zack?" Alix asked, and Zack smiled.

"Yeah, the food here is really good, and I don't have much time to go back home, then back to work; it's stressful at times," he replied.

"Believe me, we get it; having so many responsibilities can be exhausting at times, am I right Adora?" Kyris inquired.

"Not all of the time, but it can be difficult at times," she replied, and Zack patted her on the shoulder then they made their order.

After a short wait, their food arrived, and everyone except the princess began eating.

"I am sorry you can't even eat here, I wish you can get to do all of these things, it's been so long and yet you are not even free," Adora muttered.

"Adora, it's not like it's your fault besides, it's fine, you are doing more than enough, allowing me to see through your eyes," it replied, and she sighed.
