"That's another reason we should all go together, no one would know about our whereabouts," Ivan said.
"I'll know" Xavier spoke standing close to the door.
This time most of them jumped up due to shock, they were utterly surprised that Xavier was inside their room and none of them knew when he came in.
It was even more shocking to Leia because she knew she double-checked the lock to make sure it was well locked before seating down, so there was no way he could be in the room now.
"Not that I'll tell the knights, I just wanted to let you remember that I'll know," Xavier said.
"Xavier...how did you get inside this room?" Leia asked immediately.
"I opened the door, you guys were too focused on your conversation that you didn't realize I walked in, though I don't blame your guys, you are trying to save your friend," Xavier said without a bit of emotion.
"What do you want Xavier, why are you so obsessed with looking for Ray, why?" Lily shouted.
"I just have some questions to ask that's all, and I would have gone alone but he won't recognize me if he doesn't recognize you guys, and fighting him would be a hassle," Xavier said.
"Fighting him would be a hassle, you are pretty confident for a first-year student at the knight academy, you haven't managed to defeat me or Gabriel, and fighting Ray was your second option" Leia spoke.
"You know I don't really like standing out same as Ray, if I wanted to defeat the two of you in a duel, I ought to make it two-on-one so the challenge would be fair" Xavier spoke with confidence.
From the way he spoke they knew he wasn't bluffing, and how he entered the room was still a mystery to them.
"Then join us, we would all leave together and with Xavier, we won't need to be searching as he already knows where Ray is, right?" Gabriel asked Xavier.
"Yes, and I'm not going to hurt you guys so you can trust me a little" Xavier said.
"...If you want us to trust you, tell me how you opened the door, I checked to see if it was locked and it was, so except someone opened the door for you or you did something," Leia said.
"I did do something, but even if I explain it to you, you won't understand, but I have good lock-picking skills," Xavier said.
"We were close to the door and we didn't a sound, lock picking requires tools and you have none," Leia said.
"It seems it's hard for you to trust me, then no need to trust me, so what's the plan?" Xavier asked Gabriel.
"The King is here in Bullmar so we have to wait till he's gone before leaving," Gabriel said.
"Smart idea, the Royal knights are no joke, you can't be crawling around at night without them locating you, but the king won't stay here for more than a day, and we'll need supplies like food and water, change of clothes and the rest," Xavier said.
"Already provided," Sofia said.
"Ohh, your family is well off, then we have nothing to worry about, all we need to worry about now is we have to buy enough time before the knights realize we are gone"
"It seems you already have everything figured out, what if we didn't agree to go with you, would you have gone alone," Lily asked.
"Yes, I didn't come to you guys because I needed help in finding Ray, I came to you guys because I knew you would go after so I just need to tag along," Xavier said.
"But what do you have to say to Ray, I've never seen you speaking to each other" Arya spoke.
"Something very important, when we meet up with him, you guys would be there so you'll also hear what u have to say," Xavier said.
"Why do you have all your body covered?" Crystal asked.
"I don't like the sun, I have very sensitive skin and the sun affects me too much," Xavier said.
"But we are indoors now, open your covers let's see your face," Crystal said.
"Don't bother asking him, he won't open his face, I wonder why?" Leia said.
"I don't want girls to get bewitched by my handsomeness, that's why my face is covered right now, if you like I can open it, but you girls have to promise me that I won't open it again," Xavier said.
"...Okay I guess," Crystal said.
Xavier removed the covers on his face and his face was on display for the first time since he came to the academy.
Xavier was the definition of handsome, his face was beyond perfect, now that his covering was removed Xavier's eyes color was red matching the color of his hair.
All of them stared at him, Xavier was even more handsome than Gabriel and maybe even Ray but two of the girls thought Ray was more handsome.
"So you don't open your face indoors because you are afraid of girls getting bewitched, you should open your face more, you are not that handsome" Lily sneered.
"I-I think he's a little handsome," Martha said with her head down.
"I also think he's handsome but that's a stupid reason for covering your face, I know you have another reason but since you don't want to say it, I won't ask" Crystal spoke.
"It seems you want me to say it" Xavier replied immediately.
"Really, then tell us the reason, if handsomeness was the reason to cover one's face, then I can list boy that their face needs to be covered," Crystal said.
"Move out now, the king is here" a voice shouted.
The group immediately exited their room to join the other students, all the students quickly ran outside to see the king and his army of Royal knights.
