Hours later, just before night fell Alix was going to make a delivery when he bumped into someone in the middle of the streets and his eyes started glowing red as the sun went down.
'That feeling, what the hell was that?" Alix asked as he looked around in the crowd while his heart started beating really fast, so fast that he started to see blur but lucky for him the princess was out with her friends and as he saw her he tried calling out to her but he fell on the middle of the road unable to breathe properly.
"Your highness..." he called out and her eyes widened as she spun around and saw him as his eyes were closing and he fell unconscious.
'Alix" she called out as she rushed to him and her eyes widened as she helped him up and placed him in her car.
'Try to breathe" she said as they rushed to the hospital.
"Try something else, your highness," the driver said while she pressed her palm against his chest trying to help him.
"It's of no use," she said as they arrived at the hospital and the driver called out to the doctors as they brought the stretcher and they took Alix in.
'Your highness, is he okay?" the driver asked and she sighed.
"I might have made a huge mistake, damn it, I wonder if he trained too hard" she responded as she went inside the hospital and sat down outside waiting while the doctors took care of him, despite having a heart disease the doctors suggested that was not the reason for his current state.
A few hours later Alix woke up and sighed as he held onto his stomach in pain.
"You are finally up, sleeping beauty," she said and his eyes widened as he looked at her standing by the window.
'Princess" he called out as he sat up then she sighed.
'I am going to ask you this once, did I pressure you too much on the training?" she asked and he downed his head as his hair fell in front of his eyes.
"You didn't pressure me" he responded.
"Tomorrow is your last free day, you should withdraw from the tournament," she said and his eyes narrowed as they trembled and she was about to leave when he scoffed.
"What?" she asked.
'How can you always be like a stone?" he asked as she clenched her fists and then smiled.
"Good night, be careful next time this happens to you, not everyone will be generous to bring you to a hospital, some might even leave you to die, fool" she responded as she was about to leave but Nina walked in and gave her a form to sign.
'I am not going to give up" he said and she smiled.
"I won't be so sure about that, later" she replied while leaving then he sighed.
"You are quite lucky to have the princess as your friend, time for your injection and you will go to sleep until morning then you can be discharged, we will give you a prescription, buy the things and use them, is that clear?" the doctor asked as he gave him the injection and Alix feel asleep.
The next morning when he woke up he saw Ayden sitting by his side and he sighed.
"Good morning," Ayden said.
"Morning, sorry if I made you guys worry" he replied.
"It's fine, we are just glad you are okay, how bad is your condition?" Ayden asked.
"Bad" he responded.
'Then the princess that you obviously really don't like is right, I think she is sweet. that's my opinion, but for some reason you two can't get along, she is right and you know that Alix" he said.
"You are probably right" he replied as Sarah and Aerav walked in while smiling.
"You need to get healthy fast..." Sarah said.
'I will be fine for the opening ceremony" he replied.
"What do you guys know about this kingdom? it's history and how it came to be among the modern age" Alix asked.
'You should read more often, yup" Sarah said and he sighed.
"It came to be when a certain war took place, you can say the five kingdoms are here amongst the modern age because they are leftovers of the past, their histories with each other are rich, beasts and powers the modern world is stronger than it ever used to be... though I don't think that's such a good thing, there are magical beasts of unimaginable powers, there are lots more to the kingdoms than meets the eyes, in order to know that, you will have to go digging up the past and trust me you don't want to do that," the princess said as she walked into the room while staring at Alix and the others left the room.
"You want to find out more then go dig up? don't scream in your sleep when you find something you were not expecting, it's better if you let this go" she said.
'Sounds like you have something to hide" he replied.
"I have nothing to hide, forget about me, what about yourself Alix?" she asked.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
'You are not a foolish idiot like I thought you were, there are things that bother you, things you want to know am I right?" she asked.
"I am going to ask you this, why are you so eager to find history? the history that you are looking for is filled with betrayal, killing and a lot more" she responded.
"What are you getting so worked up about your highness?" he asked.
"Why are you building Mechas?" he asked and she looked at him.
"For defense, you will hear about it soon, we are going to need pilots, if you are still alive maybe you will be able to give it a test run" she responded and he scoffed.
"Thanks for bringing me here, but as always, talking to each other is just a waste of time, I have no business with you nor you with me, what I don't understand is why you still want to help or train me," he said as he looked at her sternly and she clenched her fists.
