They all ate lunch together. The function began. Everyone did different things like dance, act, singing etc. They even made a speech to thank Aurora.
At the last Lara announced Aurora will sing a song for them. Aurora went in front of them. She was nervous. This is the first time in many years that she is nervous. This is also the first time she is singing in front of others. She closed her eyes for sometime.
" Do you need a guitar?" A boy asked. He is probably in high school.
" Do you have one?" Aurora asked him.
" Yeah. Let me get it for you." The boy said and ran towards their flat.
" She can play too?" Lucas asked.
" Yeah. She can play piano too. We used to learn together. She was very fascinated towards instruments at that time." Sofia said.
" You can play piano?" Leo asked her.
" Not good like her. But a little. Actually I used to learn dance." Sofia said giggling.
" Is there anything she doesn't know?" Harry asked.
"Ummm... what true love feels like? She doesn't know that yet." Antonia said.
" You don't know that either." Lucas mumbled. Antonia gave him a side eye. Others started laughing at that.
" She will learn that too soon." Charlie said while looking at Aurora.
" Yeah yeah. We know that." Leo said boringly.
That little boy again ran towards Aurora and passed her the guitar. Aurora fixed some strings of it. She again closed her eyes. After few seconds she started singing.
~~~~~~~~~
Oh, no, did I get too close?
Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?
All your insecurities
All the dirty laundry
Never made me blink one time
Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally
Come just as you are to me
Don't need apologies
Know that you are worthy
I'll take your bad days with your good
Walk through the storm, I would
I do it all because I love you
I love you
Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally
So open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart
Acceptance is the key to be
To be truly free
Will you do the same for me?
Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally, yeah
And there is no fear now
Let go and just be free
'Cause I will love you unconditionally, oh, yeah
I will love you (unconditionally)
I will love you
I will love you unconditionally

Everyone was in tears. Lara's mom started clapping first. Everyone followed her then. Aurora was in tears but she didn't let them fall out. Queen can't cry in front of her people, can she? She controlled herself. She passed the guitar to that boy.
" Thanks Venom. This is the best gift we have ever received." Everyone said.
After talking for some more time they got out from there. It was already afternoon. They bade good bye.
Aurora was about to get in the car but Charlie called her.
" Princess?"
" Yeah?" Aurora said turning to him.
" Let's go for a check up. Doctor uncle has told to take you to his hospital."
" I'll go there by myself. You don't have to worry." saying that Aurora was about to get into the car. But Charlie hold her hand and turned her back to him.
" You will not go alone. I'll go with you and now we will go there."
" Who are you to force me may I know that?"
" I can be you husband if you allow me that." Charlie said winking at her.
" Why do you think I'll let my husband force me at anything?"
" So you are agreeing that I can be your husband?"
" When did I say that?"
" You didn't refuse also."
Aurora sighed. " I'll not go today. I have a lot of work Charlie. Don't force me."
" I won't force you if it wasn't about your health princess. You will be busy in a war soon. I don't want you to fall sick before the war. You will win it I know but I can't help worrying for your health. Listen to me please?"
" You are showing to much concern for me Charlie. It's not worth it I'm warning you. You will be left heart broken."
" See? You are also concerned about me being heart broken when you are not even in love with me right? I love you so why I shouldn't be concerned for you? I'm not showing concern rather I'm actually concerned for you. Let's go. We will drop them home then me and you will visit doctor uncle."
Auroras heart started beating faster hearing I love you from Charlie. This boy is going to be death of her she thought.
" Princess?" Charlie called seeing her zoning out.
" Yeah?"
" Let's go?"
" We have to inform uncle first."
" I have already done it."
" You knew I'll go with you, didn't you?" Aurora asked raising her one brow.
" Maybe?" Charlie said smiling sheepishly.
Aurora rolled her eyes and got into the car. Charlie looked at others and showed a thumbs up that their mission is successful. Aurora noticed that. She sighed for the ninth time today.
" They are all together in this." She mumbled.
Everyone got into the car and they drove towards Mariano mansion. They reached Mariano mansion and everyone got out of the car except Charlie and Aurora. Aurora opened her sides glass.
" Antonia" Aurora called.
Antonia came towards her and said, " Yes?"
" After getting freshed search all the hide outs of Pluto and the places where they keep their shipments. Make a list of them. I'll show him fire tonight."
" What about our ones? They will do the same right?"
" Yeah. Move out every equipment in the base area of every hideouts through the secret tunnels. Alert the members about attacks. If they see larger number than them ask them to hide in the basement too but make sure others don't get to know the secret tunnel and if they find small groups they will attack back. It will depend on the situation. Just give them a brief. I'll talk to them after coming home. Call for a meeting at home. Those who will be in duty ask them to join in a video call."
" What if they attack before us? They know you will call for a war. They can do that before us."
" I don't think so. They are not that smart. But you have a point too. So ask the members to be careful beforehand. I don't want to lose any of my member Antonia. Remember it. Give attention to every single details."
" Yes Queen." Antonia bowed to her. Aurora locked the glass and looked at Charlie only to find him staring at her like he is seeing her for the first time.
