Chapter 139 Wise Or Crazy?

While Adora was looking at the night sky Alix smiled.

"What are you thinking?" he asked.

"Not much, probably the consequences of my actions," she responded. "Are you sure you are okay with all of this?" she questioned.

"Yeah, I am fine with it all, whatever it is, are you worried about taking away the block?" he asked.

"Not really, no, I am concerned about those who may come after you once they realize who you are," she replied.

"I don't mind," he said and she smiled.

"Of course not, you still don't value your life enough," she said.

"That's no longer true; I feel like I want to live and see more," he said, and her eyes widened as she stared at him wondering how much he had changed.

"Eh? Are you serious?" she asked as she leaned in closer to him and he patted her on the shoulder.

"Yeah, I am," he replied, "it's just a feeling."

"I am glad, I am relieved," she said, sighing.

"I guess I am sorry for causing you so much trouble," he replied, and she chuckled.

"You don't have to apologize because you didn't cause me any problems," she explained.

"If that's the case, I'm relieved," he replied with a yawn.

"Go to bed, Alix, you want to go to the royal rumble tomorrow, right?" she asked.

"Yes, I do; are you coming with us?" he inquired.

"Of course I am, if you want to be fully awake and not half asleep during the match, I suggest you get your rest," she replied.

"Good, well, good night, your highness," he said, and she grabbed his ear then he glanced at her.

"Your highness is going in and out? What's up with that?" she asked.

"I am just not used to calling you by your name yet," he replied before she let go and leaned in closer to him, and he looked at her.

"I will get you used to it, good night," she said before leaving, and he sighed before going into his room, locking the balcony door then went straight to bed and switched the lights off.

"Good night," he said, and Adora smiled because she was sitting on the balcony rail and he had already locked the door and drawn the curtains so he couldn't see her.

"He has really changed," she muttered as she prepared to return to her room when she noticed Zavis throwing pebbles into the waterfall.

"What is he doing there at this time of the night?" she questioned, deciding to check on him.

"I absolutely hate this," Zavis said.

"Hate what?" Adora asked and he jumped nearly falling into the waterfall, but she grabbed him by the arm and he left staring at her with his eyes trembling.

"A- Adora," he said, then she let him go and he sat properly.

"What are you doing out here this late, and what do you detest so much? Me? " she asked and he scoffed while looking at his reflection in the water.

"You are not that great," he replied, and she sat next to him.

"Why don't you go back to sleep?" he suggested.

"I don't want to; it's more like I don't think I can; I am tired, I have been sleeping all day, and I can't seem to close my eyes properly," she replied.

"I- I know what that's like sometimes," he admitted, looking at her.

"Is whatever you are hiding that heavy?" she asked.

"You know the feeling too, huh?" he asked.

"We all have different things we would rather keep hidden Zavis, we might not get along, but I would never judge you," she replied and he scoffed.

"I wouldn't either, at least not anymore," he said and she clenched her fists and he gnashed his teeth.

"Why do you want to know about an energy source so bad?" he asked.

"I thought you didn't know anything about it," she replied.

"I don't but I am curious, can't tell me? Is that it?" he asked.

"You are such a jerk, but that's not it, I can tell you, some people are gathering them to bring the apocalypse, to put it simply we don't know what their actual cause is or who they are, but my ex-best friend Vellon is in their crew and I think the new genome editing crap is connected to them too, they are planning something bigger and we don't even have a proper head start, there you have it in a perfectly good summary," she responded as he stared at her then sighed.

"I wasn't expecting all of that, but based on the brief summary you provided, I can tell their intentions are bad and the situation is a mess," he said.

"I know, you don't have to tell me," she said.

"So your secret mission here is to find the so-called source and whatever it is, contain or destroy it before it gets into enemy hands?" he asked.

"You can say that, it was never a secret mission; I just said that to get on your nerves," she replied, and he chuckled.

"I know, but what if the source is a person?" he asked, and her eyes shook.

'W- Why would he ask that?' Adora wondered.

"Zavis "I am serious, is there something you know?" she asked.

"No, I just want to know what you're going to do if you are really wise or insane like the enemy," he replied.

"Believe me, if I wanted to and had a reason, I can do a lot of things," she said. "One thing I have already decided is that they are all going to die, the enemy, of course, I don't know if they are the same ones behind the genome editing, I don't care, they will simply receive death."

"Will you be able to kill your best friend Vellon if he is truly evil?" he asked.

"Yes, I will be able to kill him; you people need to stop underestimating me," she replied, to which he scoffed before she stood up and looked at him a bit concerned.
