A little while after, when Dral had finished talking to the people, he sighed, then looked at Alix, who thanked him, then Dral patted him on his shoulder and the people, continuously stared at Alix and since he was not used to it.
They made Alix a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything to them since he knew that they were just processing the things that they had just been told and he smiled at them then they began exchanging glances and his brows furrowed as he looked at them.
Adora glanced at Alix and the way he was being and she smiled a little then exhaled deeply as he lowered his head and Dral and Yaron smiled at him.
"Your Highness," The people said as they bowed down before him and his eyes widened as he looked at them and Adora glanced at him then he clenched his right fist.
'I am not sure I am ever going to get accustomed to things like this but for now, there is no helping it, I have not chosen whether I will even keep this role or not,' he thought then looked at them and his eyes narrowed as they kept their heads down.
"You can raise your heads," he said and they did as permitted then stood up straight and Alix smiled at them.
"I have the rest to say to you guys, especially about what is going on currently, I also don't want anyone to feel hurt later on or anything of the sort, so I will tell you another thing as well, please listen to me," he added and they looked at each other then nodded with smiles on their faces and he sighed.
"First off, I am not sure whether I will accept or keep this role in the future, that's because of the way I have lived so far, I have lived a different life for a very long time, I have not made my mind up as yet but just in case I do, I want you guys to know that, it's a heads ups," he said as he glanced at them.
After hearing what he had just said, some of them looked nervous and worried, while others looked as though they understood what he meant and why he was saying that.
Alix's brows furrowed as he kept on looking at their reactions and Dral smiled a little then approached Alix and he looked at him.
"Are you going to give them a little bit of information on what's been going on lately, Alix?" Dral asked and Alix looked at them.
"Your Highness, I think we understand why you just said what you did, also you have been through quite enough and if this helps, we are doing just fine, we may not be a large a nation as we used to be, but we are here and we are doing fine," a guy in his mid-forties said as he stepped forward and the people nodded as Alix stared at them.
"True, it would be nice to have the royal family back, to have you lead us, like your father and mother used to but that's something for you to decide after everything that's happened to you, we are doing just fine, you don't need to be hard on yourself, we are just happy that the heir of our king and queen is alive and well, am I right, guys?" the man's wife asked.
"Yeah," they responded with a smile on their faces and tears by the edge of their eyes and Alix left staring at them, with his eyes slightly widened.
"Well, I am glad that you are all going to be okay with whatever I decide in the future, thank you for believing us and understanding," Alix said and they bowed their heads to him and his eyes narrowed as he glanced at Dral with a serious look on his face and Dral's brows furrowed.
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
"They believed everything quite easily and are quite supportive, is this okay?" Alix asked and Dral chuckled and the others smiled at him and his brows furrowed as he glanced at them and they looked away from him.
"You will get used to it, all of this is just the result of you actually standing before them, Alix," Adora responded and he looked at her then she smiled a little as she walked towards him.
"Me just standing here? You mean because I am alive, someone they thought was long gone, it did come as a shock to them but just now... I understand, it's also because of Dral, since he is trusted around here and he told them," Alix said and Adora nodded then Alix looked at them as they were talking to each other.
"Everything that was just said is right on the spot, but there is another thing, Alix," Dral added and both of them looked at him.
"You look a lot like your father and you have your mother's eyes and hair, you share parts of both of them and that's because, your genes are very strong, your highness," Dral said and Alix looked at him as he bowed his head and Alix smiled.
"I see... So that's one of the reasons as well, I guess there is a lot more that I don't know as yet, I am glad to know that, in a way, also, raise your head Dral, there is no need to do that," Alix replied and Dral smiled at him and Adora exhaled deeply with a smile on her face.
"Well, I can say that I can see for myself with just the looks on their faces how much they are pleased as well as relieved, I can see how much they used to look up to them as well, I will just go ahead and tell them what I need to, so they will at least, be more on alert, who knows what can happen," Alix said.
"You are right about all of that as well, anything can happen at any time and they are really pleased, beyond words," Dral replied and Alix smiled then stepped forward and everyone turned their attention to him.
