"Come on, let's go in the building, there are cafes and so inside even though this is an arena, also there are special rooms for the teams to rest in and a lounge to wait then there is an opening at the bottom to take you directly to the ring, and underground opening, you don't have to walk through the crowd," Adora said.
"Okay then let's go there, I am not feeling that great sitting here looking at people get their faces smashed in especially when mine is so sensitive," Ayden said and they all stared at him unamused, Adora's eyes widened upon sensing someone looking at them.
'I see, I am still being followed," she thought as they went into the building where most of the teams were.
"Woah," Alix said as he looked around and some of the other team members stared at them as they walked into the cafe.
"Your highness," the waitress said as she bowed to Adora.
"No need for all of that, guys make your order," she said as she looked out the window and one of the students sitting on the bench in the hall looking at her.
"You shouldn't stare at people like that," Alix said.
"Don't tell me what I should and should not do, I will stare at those who stare at me," she replied with a smile.
"Take the mask off," Ayden said and she looked at him then scoffed.
"Nope I can't, also I might be leaving soon," she said and Alix glanced at her.
"What?" he asked.
"Doesn't matter might be till after the tournament," she responded and he scoffed as the waitress brought all of them cappuccinos.
'Thanks" she said as she lifted her mask up a little and Alix sighed as the girl drank her cappuccino.
"Is anything about you real?" Aerav asked.
"Maybe, maybe not," she responded as a guy walked into the cafe dressed in a suit.
"Your highness, we need to talk," the guy said as he looked at her team and she got up.
"Let's talk outside," she said as she walked out of the cafe and he followed her.
'What's the problem now?" Aerav asked.
'I might not like her a bit, but you need to have some respect, I have my differences with her but you have no reason to be like that with her Aerav, mind your tongue," Alix responded.
"You... are you sure you want to keep on teaching this team? you are bringing attention to yourself and them," the guy said.
"Who stirred up trouble this time? I don't see the problem with teaching them," she replied.
"I think I know, let's say your own team is powerful because of you, you teaching them, the other team leaders feel sort of a threat coming from a few of your members, especially with what they just saw with Sarah, I guess they want you to hand the team over to someone else but it doesn't really matter," Nina said as she came to them.
"She is right it doesn't most of the other team members and teachers are monsters, tell them, whoever the hell brought this up again, they can go burn in hell, now leave me alone," she said then the guy sighed and left as Nina went into the cafe with Adora.
"What brings you here Nina?" Adora asked as she looked at the girl sternly.
'Your father.." she responded.
'Is the king okay?" Alix asked and the princess sighed.
'He wants to discuss the matter with the dire wolves eight?" she asked.
"You might be held responsible for certain things Adora, I think you... you should be careful too," Nina said.
"Why would she be held responsible for their actions?" Alix asked.
"Because she has a big part in this peace treaty," Nina responded.
"The dire wolves cannot shapeshift like werewolves can, it's the rule of this world but it's been broken, the dire wolves here are not only as powerful as a werewolf, somehow they can shapeshift, werewolves have an alpha they will listen, and talk even after going rogue,".
"A werewolf alpha is more likely to accept defeat here, dire wolves are different, if they go rogue, they crave for more power, it's like this because they can shapeshift, they want to be the superior race over the werewolves, I am the reason they came into our circle, I made sure they know their place," she said.
"I will ask this, what did you do to the leader of the dire wolves?" Alix asked.
"Adora's master fought him, to show him he is just like any other creature and has to respect the circle of life in this kingdom, he can never be superior," Nina responded.
"So he might be the one that lead the attack last night?" Alix asked.
"No he is not, Nina, stop talking, Alix I want you to focus on not being a bloody weakling and win all of your matches, you cannot afford to lose, stay out of the kingdom's business, it has nothing to do with you, Nina I will go meet my father, the other match is about over, send them home or whatever, I don't care," Adora said as she got up and left.
"You guys heard her, go home," Nina said.
"Come on guys," Ayden said as he got up and they all left with him.
"I need to get to the bottom of this before it affects the alliance between all of the leaders, if that happens this kingdom will fall," Adora said as she got in her care along with Nina and left while Alix and the others went their separate ways.
Alix knew that he couldn't afford to lose and had no intention to, he was tired of being trampled on by others and he hated when they called him weak, at that moment he decided to win every fight henceforth but that was easier said than done especially for someone like him.
