Chapter 269 Bit Of Charm
After hearing what both his brother and Alix said, Kyris knew they were right.
"You guys are right, we have a lot to do," Kyris sighed as the king stood there listening to them.
"You guys have it tough as well," he said, and they all looked at him.
"Your highness," they addressed him.
"Don't get up, it's fine, you don't need to bow every time, it's tiring even for me," he replied, and they laughed.
"You kids should be more careful, I know how dangerous the enemy is, and it appears that this all began because of the past, it's all connected, that's what the princess thinks as well," the king said.
"Thank you for informing us," Alix replied, and the king smiled at him.
"You're welcome, kid; you're strong too, you know; I've seen you fight before, now I'd better see how things are going with the preparations," the king said before departing.
"The king is different from the others; he's kind and carefree," Aerav said with a smile.
"He's not all that different from King Adrian; they're similar in more ways than one," Alix responded, and Ayden nodded.
More than two and a half hours had passed, and it was already past lunchtime when the girls exited the salon.
"My neck hurts a bit," Nina complained.
"The same here," Adora responded.
"Well, that took a long time, too, but we got our nails done nicely, so that's good; now shall we go get lunch?" Liza inquired, and they smiled, nodded, and got into the car. They drove to a restaurant, which was one of the best-rated in the city, they parked, got out, and went inside to eat.
Later that day, after finishing their lunch, the girls went to the beachside where there was an ice cream shop alongside a cafe, and ordered their ice cream before sitting down on the beach and watching the waves while eating and feeling relaxed.
"I feel relaxed, thank you guys," Adora smiled as Nina patted her on the shoulder.
"You are welcome Adora, you deserved a break, you guys have been working too hard lately, and you look a little lighter now as well," Liza replied, as Adora sniffed the fresh air.
"I think I am, it's been a while since I have been like this and it feels different but in a good way, I had a good time," she said as Nina got up and a guy approached her with two others, and Adora looked at them.
"You are stunning," the brunette said, and Nina sighed and lowered her head.
"It's because she is a succubus, that charm, I feel like punching them," Eliza said.
"I know," Liza replied and the blonde guy among them looked at the princess with a smug look and she smirked as she got up and Nina clenched her fists.
"Would you like to go out with me occasionally?" As he was about to touch Nina, the brunette asked, but she swatted his hand away, and he smirked.
"Are you playing hard to get? What do you want?" he asked and Nina's brows furrowed.
"I think it's pretty obvious when a lady has no interest in you, for you to leave her alone," Adora responded, and he scoffed.
"Here is some advice for you guys: turn around and leave to avoid damage," Sarah said with a smile.
"I think you should listen or you'll be sorry you came here," Olivia added, and Eliza nodded.
"You are all just talking, we can give you girls a good time," the blonde said as the brunette got closer to Nina and she gnashed her teeth as her eyes began glowing.
"It would seem you have a bloody death wish, do not touch me," she yelled as she punched him to the ground, and Adora smiled.
"You bitch," he shouted as he stood back up, and Nina's body began to glow blue and her eyes glowed red, causing the guy to tremble in fear and before Nina could hurt them, they ran away with perfect speed and the girls laughed as Adora placed her hand on Nina's shoulder and the girl looked at her.
"I'm sorry, I was about to hurt them really bad, I lost a bit of control there for a second," Nina said then Adora patted her on the head. Her eyes shook briefly before returning to normal, and Adora smiled.
'It's fine Nina, you have that charm on you, their minds are just weak, there is nothing wrong with defending yourself, you don't have to apologize, if it was up to me, I would have let you beat them to a pulp," Adora replied, and Nina smiled brightly.
"Thank you so much, Adora," she said.
"There's no need for that; I didn't do anything," she replied as they sat back down and finished their ice creams.
"Adora, do you think we'll get breaks like this again?" Sarah inquired.
"If I'm being honest, I don't think we'll get much," Adora replied, and Sarah sighed before smiling.
"Even so, this is nice, so we might as well enjoy it," she said, and they nodded.
"Are you leaving anytime soon, Adora?" Liza inquired.
"Not yet, there are a few things that need to be taken care of, we need to figure out where we're going next, then we'll leave, I'll probably cause a bit of a commotion tomorrow, but that doesn't matter, I intend to stick to my decision," she replied, and Liza grinned.
"We don't mind the trouble; it will be beneficial to us," she said to which Adora chuckled.
"You're right, it'll only help us," Olivia responded.
"I can't wait to see what they say tomorrow," Sarah said.
"They don't think Adora would dare to talk to them, but they're wrong," Nina replied.
"That's true, they have a habit of underestimating people, particularly the princess," Eliza said, and Adora sighed.
"We just have to be careful, they aren't going down without a fight, and they might even accuse me of a few things, which I am looking forward to," Adora replied, and they smiled before looking at the waves brushing against the sand on the beach.
