Adora and the others looked at the direction Alix pointed in and her eyes widened when she saw which kingdom he chose to go next.
"The Lulon Kingdom?" Kyris asked and Alix nodded as Adora lowered her head, remembering the horror they caused during the war.
The kingdom that Alix chose was one that helped caused the war and did benefit a lot from it and Adora sighed, worrying if things doesn't go as they plan what will happen to them.
Alix looked at Adora as she stared at the marking on the map and he sighed then tapped her on the shoulder and she looked at him.
"I know they are one that caused the problem, we don't have much of a choice but to go," Alix said and Adora smiled at him.
"It's fine, I know what has to be done here, Alix but since we will be going to the royal castle... Just so you know our families don't get along well, but we will do what's best for our people, our kingdom," she replied and Alix sighed.
"I know you will do what needs to be done, also about the dream, it feels different," Alix said and Adora lowered her head.
"That's because it's not a dream, Alix, when you were a kid, it was snowing and I had just came out of a bakery with my father, we had got into a fight after that and I ran away from him when I saw you in the street, you were unconscious and my father didn't see because he was talking to someone and I left him and went to you in the street, that's when I first met you," Adora replied as Alix and the others stared at her.
"Why can't I remember that then?" Alix asked.
"You pushed back the memory growing up because we never met again after that, I tapped on your face to wake you up and when you did, you looked at me with your shimmering eyes and I smiled and helped you up."
"After I helped you up, you brushed the snow off of your body and then thanked me, but then saw my arm was bleeding and you had a bandage and you sat me down and took care of it, we talked for hours, you told me how your life was," she said.
"Why were you bleeding?" he asked and she smiled.
"I fell down and was hurt after running away from my father," she responded and he sighed.
"While we were talking, there were wolves running around and they bumped into us, we were in the dark street alone and we shared a meal and they attacked us, do you know what's the very first thing you did?" she asked as Alix sighed and closed his eyes, thinking back about what Adora was talking about.
"I shoved you out of the way?" he asked before opening his eyes and she smiled.
"You are starting to remember, yes, you shoved me out of the way and picked up rocks and threw it at the wolves and when one was coming from me from behind, you got bit and I began hitting it with a stick and you poked it in its eyes so it won't hurt me as well and it howled with pain before moving away but..." she responded.
"When it moved away the other wolf used its tail and hit me into the wall and I remember hitting my head and falling unconscious, am I right about that part?" Alix asked.
"You are right about that, I was about to be attacked after that, but at the same time, my father's guard found us and he took us to the hospital where he got your aunt's contact and dad came for me and took me away but left a few things to thank the lady from the bakery, the one who you work with now, she never knew about what happened but you are safe and that's all that mattered to her," she responded.
"I see and after that we never saw each other again because this happened before your mother's death and I couldn't remember because of the hit?" he asked.
"Precisely, that's what happened years after when I met you back and I knew that it was you and that you couldn't remember me, I didn't choose you just like that Alix, but then after that a lot more happened, do you remember everything that happened now?" she asked and his eyes started glowing blue as he stared at her then it returned back to normal.
"Yeah, I remember everything, I am sorry that I didn't remember before now, Adora," he responded and she smiled at him.
"You don't have to apologize, it's understandable, but you protected me back then so thanks, Alix," she said with a gentle smile on her face and he smiled at her.
"You are welcome, you always have a reason for doing certain things, don't you?" Alix asked.
"You mean when I first recruited you? How many reasons I had for that?" she asked.
"Yes, that," he responded and she chuckled.
"I did that for more than one, one is because of when we were kids as well," she said and he chuckled.
"Well, all of this is good to know, one less secret that you got off of your shoulders," he replied.
"Yeah, one less secret, there are more, now they will start coming to light and I cannot do anything to stop it, so this is fine with me now," she said and he chuckled then looked at Scott.
'Scott, did you change course already?" Alix asked.
"Yes, I have changed it, we will arrive in a few days or earlier at most, we won't be arriving late and I have a sensor on the ship now to detect incoming threats, don't worry, everything is fine so far," he responded and Alix smiled.
"That's good to know, now we can practice a bit more or just relax, do as you please," Alix said before stretching off and Adora sighed before laying back on the couch and Ifrit looked at her then smiled.
