Chapter 233 - Planning For The Tour - I



This was not what Adaline wanted to happen. She did not want to spend any time especially alone with Xavier after he had brutally Hung up on her. 

"Do . . .can my aunt not come with me?" She hesitantly spoke up and the entire room fell in silence. 

​​

"Why?" Cassandra asked, looking slightly concerned, "are you worried about something?"

Yes I\'m worried about spending alone time with your son. "No," she smiled tightly, "it\'s just that I would feel really comfortable if my aunt comes with me." 

It was then Adaline realised that she had not asked her aunt so she turned to look at her with hesitation in her eyes. Tessa winked and smiled. She was ok with that even though the Adaline had been Distant.

Tessa has been noticing Adeline the entire time. Now she felt slightly conflicted as she thought about it. Was Adeline behaving like that on purpose because right now she was behaving like she normally would.

"Oh," Cassandra nodded, "well, it is usually the couple travelling alone for the blessings." She offered. 

Adelene waited for her to complete the sentence or say that there could be an exemption made for her but nothing came as Cassandra went back to drinking her soup. 

So that was it then? 

She huffed silently. She didn\'t want to go. 

As the first course was over, the serving staff came around and picked up their plates. 

Adeline leaned back allowing the man to pick up her bowl when her eyes moved towards Xavier to find him looking at her already. 

She, once again, averted her eyes away as quickly as possible. She could feel the slight blush that was forming over her cheeks and she hated that. 

"There is some time left for the second course to be brought out. Ambassador Korr I would prefer if you talk to Adeline during this time. This is really important for us." Javier placed a napkin over the table as he addressed her uncle. 

Adeline could slight frustration building in. Why were they pushing towards this so much? 

"Is there something that you want to say Adeline?" Her eyes widened briefly and she turned to Javier. "I can hear you breathing heavily and your frustration and change of emotions can be smelled well. Is there something you would like to say?" 

She licked her lip as she stared at the men who had mild amusement dancing in his eyes as he spoke to her. 

"Uh. . Erm. . " Was he targeting her for fun? 

"Go on, I want to hear what you are thinking."  Javier said as he leaned back in his chair comfortably and Adaline instantly changed her opinion about him being the cool neighbour next door. 

She frowned upon him. Why was he smiling? "I just want to know why you\'re pushing for us to go there." 

"Because it\'s important."

Adeline held on to that point, "who is it important for?" She asked as she leaned back on her chair comfortably now. 

"Everyone, Adaline." Javier answered, "it is important for everyone." 

"If it is important for everyone then why is it only both of us are going?" She argued, "if it is important for everyone in this Kingdom then should not people that have more experience than the both of us go?" 

Javier\'s eyebrow twitched and Cassandra moved uncomfortably. That was enough for Adaline to know that she had hit the jackpot with this. 

"Please excuse us," Korr stood up, "Adeline?" He nudged his head to the door and Adeline followed him out getting his drift.

Both of them worked out of the dining hall and she followed wherever he led, only to come in front of a huge window in the next hallway that overlooked the entire capital surrounding the palace. 

"Adeline, how many times have I discussed manners with you?" Korr whispered furiously at the young girl who looked taken aback by his sudden change, "did not discuss for you to get etiquette classes or not? You refused that because you said you were capable of holding yourself in public and formal gatherings. If that is what you do in front of the King, I would seriously consider your answer again." 

" Eh-what?" She whispered out and stared at him in disbelief, "you clearly saw what he did there. He was provoking me continuously!" She raised her online pointed to the hallway behind him but he raised his own and placed it back to her side. 

"Behave." He chided. "There are a few things that come with power and position and one of the things you must understand is he is the king\'s father and a member of the royal family so he gets a free pass on almost everything." He growled slightly before he sighed and calmed himself down. "That man is not like that and I know that because I have held conversations and meetings with him a lot of times. I do not know why he provoked you but next time you will not reply to him like that. Is that clear?" He pointed a finger towards her as he warned. 

This was so unfair! "But, you sa—"

"I did, Adeline," he agreed right away, "but you have to understand that you can behave like that too many people and you will get a free pass because you are a member of my family. Now it depends on you if you want to behave like that or not." He explained, " Now tell me, do you know what will happen to people that answer back to you and insult your name?" 

She nodded. Only a slightest bit of it, she knew. 

"Then you must remember that in this palace we are on the lower level of the food chain. Next time remember to keep your mouth shut and apologise if the king demands it." He sighed and pinched his nose. "Leave all of that and tell me what happened to Luna\'s hand?" 

"I don\'t know about the name," Adeline admitted, "but whatever the myth is I think I really did it with Ashlynn."
