Chapter 468 Move Past

Ifrit saw the way Aragi looked at Adora and Alix and he exhaled deeply, knowing exactly what was going on there and hoped that it doesn't get in there way since he knew those types of things could get very complicated. 

After Alix and Adora left, both of them went just a little outside of the city, not far from where the castle was and Alix parked on top of a hill, which overlooked part of the ocean and Adora got off of his bike then went to the top of the hill. 

Alix looked at her as she exhaled deeply when the cool air brush against her face, making her feel quite relaxed and Alix smiled at her, when he saw that she seemed just fine.

"The view here is nice, isn't it?" Alix asked as he braced against the bike and she turned to look at him then smiled. 

"Yeah, but weren't you going to train or take care of important things?" she asked and he scoffed. 

"Aren't you important as well?" he asked and her eyes shimmered as she stared at him and a slightly gentle smile appeared on his face and her cheeks flushed a little. 

"You are being sweet right now, it feels a bit..." she said and Alix chuckled then raised off of his bike and went to her. 

"Is that a bad thing?" he asked and her brows furrowed. 

"No. of course not," she responded with her gaze lowered then he sighed. 

Alix was still not used to certain things especially when a relationship is concerned but after spending so many time with the others, he was getting used to it. 

He placed his finger under her chin then raised her head up and she clenched her right fist as a few thoughts came into her head and Alix patted her on her head. 

"I don't know what's bothering you but, it will be fine, I will protect you," he said and Adora's eyes shimmered then she lunged towards him and kissed him. 

Alix placed his hand on her waist as he kissed her and she exhaled deeply after raising off of him, feeling his warm hand against her and she smiled a little. 

"Thank you, Alix," she mumbled and he smiled at her. 

"There is no need to thank me, Adora," he said and she sighed then raised off of him and he glanced at her. 

"I can tell there is something bothering you Adora, I don't know what it is, I want to, but I won't force you to tell me anything, I know when the time is right you are going to find a way to let me know it, or tell me the truth," he added. 

"You are right about all of that and when the time is right for me, I will tell you whatever else I am holding back, there is just too much going on at once, that much you should know," she said and he smiled at her then glanced at the castle, which was not far ahead of them. 

"I will wait, for now, we have lots of work to do, lots of things that we need to get done from now on, you will tell me what you find on those particles right?" he asked as he glanced at her.

"Yeah, I will share that with you, I promise, I won't keep it from you, it may be a bigger deal than I though, there is still a lot of time left, shall we get going on the work that we have to do?" she asked and he glanced at her, then scoffed. 

"We all just had this discussion, everyone is going to start somewhere, aren't you going to wait for your father?" he asked and she began thinking. 

"Do you think that I should?" she asked and he smiled. 

"Well, maybe it would be good for you if you do, let's just all do this together, I think you should take a break as well, we only just returned," he responded and her eyes narrowed. 

"Knowing you though, you will probably do your own thing, try to figure things out on your own," she said and a smirk appeared on his face. 

"Well, maybe or maybe not, who knows, I have been kept in one place for years after all," he replied and she sighed. 

"Yeah, you had it hard, sorry about all of that Alix," she said and he smiled at her. 

"What's done is done, we cannot do anything about that, only change what happens now, try at least, there is no need to apologize Adora, I am glad that you are the reason I was able to get here as well. pretty sure if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have found out like this, I appreciate it," he replied. 

"You are welcome, we all had our own reasons, one which made us join, there is no regret for anyone here when that is concerned, we only have one thing to focus on now," she said and he nodded. 

"Yeah, we have to find out who he is as well and why exactly he did what he did, not that I really care about the why though," he replied with a piercing look in his eye and Adora saw. 

Her eyes narrowed then she exhaled deeply and looked up at the sky and Alix glanced at her then patted her on her shoulder. 

"No need to think so hard about it, Adora, it's fine, I am fine as well, I understand and have come to terms with it," he said and she smiled at him. 

"You are strong, always have been, you just didn't see it earlier," she replied and he scoffed. 

"True, then shall we head off and so what we need to then call it a day?" he asked and she sighed then glanced at him as he got onto the bike. 

"Yeah, let's go we have to get you started and see what happens tomorrow with the meeting as well," she responded then got onto the bike with him and they left the area. 

"Sir, we have cleared parts of it like you told us to, it seems as though the princess and her companions are back as well and it looks as though, changes have been made," someone said to a guy standing in the shadows. 

"I see," the other guy replied. 

"Also, it seems as though changes are being made among them, even in ranks and new things may be happening," the guy said and the one within the shadow chuckled. 

"Great, things have changed quite a bit, but we will still go forth with the plan, do what I asked earlier, after all, soon it will all be started, by tomorrow you should get started," the person replied before disappearing into thin air.
