"What's within me?" she inquired.
"Yeah, what's going on inside you?" As he sat on the bed, he asked, and she sighed"There is something within me, something I sealed within myself, don't tell anyone, you are one of the second to know, the reason I am telling you is because you have no idea what the hell you are or how dangerous you can be," she responded.
"I know that," he said, and she gave him a sidelong glance.
"You do? That's good, if I were you, I'd make more friends, ones you can trust, like the ones on this train right now, you will need them too, the thing within me, it's more like someone, been there since I was a child, now I'm going to sleep, stay out of trouble or I'll knock you out, good night Alix " she said and he sighed.
"Good night, your highness, and thank you," he replied, and she winked at him before leaving.
"She is completely right," he said as he changed and went to sleep, despite being concerned about his powers acting up again.
The next morning when Alix got up, he stretched off and sighed in relief.
"Good i didn't do anything stupid," he thought as he got up from the bed and went to freshen up.
Alix got dressed after finishing freshening up and left to find the others.
"Good morning," he said as he walked to the train's living room section.
"This train is too fancy; there's a separate section for everything,' Alix thought as he sat down.
"Good morning, Kid," Yola said, as he was the only one present.
"Where is Princess on time?" he inquired, and Yola chuckled.
"Princess on time? nice name, she just likes to be on time; it's unusual for her to be late," Yola replied, and Alix smiled.
"You're not that close, are you?" Alix questioned as Yola sighed and looked at him.
Despite being friends and royals who work together all the time, we don't know each other very well. I think she knows me well, but we hardly know anything about her, well almost all of us, the only one close enough is her master and someone else," he responded.
"You are saying she's a mystery herself," Alix said as the others entered and greeted them.
"Where is Adora?" Nina inquired.
"I would like to know the same thing, this is unusual, she is never late," Liza said, and Alix lowered his head as he remembered the worried expression she gave him when she told him about what was inside her.
"She may be wearing a mask, but I seem to understand her expression most of the time through her eyes; she trusted me with her secret; I may not be a big fan of her, but I keep my word," he thought.
"She must be in her quarters, I'll go check," Nina sighed.
"You seem concerned; is the princess okay?" Yola questioned.
"Yeah, she's fine, but if I'm being honest, she's been acting strange lately; I suggest you guys don't get on her nerves, she's got a lot to deal with," Nina said as she walked away.
"Princess," Nina called out as she knocked on the girl's door, but she received no response.
"Princess, are you all right?" Nina asked as her cheeks turned pink and she leaned against the door.
"Adora," she called out as the princess pushed open the door.
"Can't someone get some sleep?" Adora asked and Nina brightly smiled as she hugged the girl with her black tail wagging behind her, and Adora patted her on the head.
"You don't need to be concerned about me; your tail shows how happy you are; do you have your sights set on another guy?" Adora inquired, and the girl raised her head with a pout.
"It's a difficult urge to suppress, especially when I think about it again and I really like this person," Nina responded.
"You are cute Nina, I am sure he will like you too, you don't lack anything, I will join you guys for breakfast in a few," she said, and the girl smiled brightly then left, Adora then shoved in the door while panting and clutching her head as she had dark flashbacks.
"Damn it, I don't need this right now," she thought as she walked to her bed and gently rested her head on her pillow.
"I forget that I am the one who has to divide the seal in order for you to see what I'm doing or talk to me," she mumbled as she pressed her right palm on top of her stomach, forming an orange flower that glowed light orange.
"You're putting yourself through a lot of pain, and when I think about it, you and Alix are similar," the shadow that emerged from her said.
"Be quiet, I know you sensed more than you're letting on last night when I helped suppress his powers," she replied, and the shadow smirked.
"You know I never lie to you, the boy, I sense ancient dark, light, and other magic within him, you will figure it out when you arrive in the next kingdom, that I can't tell you because I am having trouble figuring out which part of the food chain he belongs in, and I'm telling you, it's not the middle or the bottom," he said.
"Got it, thank you, I'll let you see a bit more later," she said with a smile as she removed her mask, and the mark on her chest along with the shadow vanished. at the same time for that's how the being inside her was controlled.
The princess then calmed down and went to freshen up.
"Guys, she's fine, you guys can eat," Nina said as she approached the others, and they sighed in relief as the servant brought their food, which they accepted and began eating.
Alix grinned uneasily as he noticed Eliza staring at him, thinking, "I feel I am in trouble for some reason, though I am relieved that the monstrous princess is fine."
