Jenna's words had so kind of effect on her. She felt more determined than she had ever before. She did not know why but even Korr asked her if she was okay.
She once again moved to the sa room where she had previously found Xavier. Just like Elizabeth had told her she followed her heart.
This ti she did not hesitate. She walks confidently with her back straight into just like she had seen Jenna walk countlessly. The woman never slouched.
Instead of waiting like the last ti at the door she opened the door with a bright smile on her face.
"Good morning everyone," she wished, "would you mind giving Xavier and soti?"
If anyone was shocked, they did not bother to show it and greeted her back before simply walking out of the room like she had asked them to. So idiot, perhaps the sa one, had closed the door on the way out.
"You're back." He comnted and she shrugged.
"Yes, I guess, I am." She said before she went to the sa place that she had been sitting in. Instead of facing the front of the class she faced him. This ti he did not need to tell her how to make a conversation because she was going to do it herself.
Praise Jenna.
"What do you want?" He was straight to the point and Adeline decided at that very mont that she was going to be straight to the point as well.
"I want access to the palace library." She spoke confidently with her back straight. Apparently keeping a back straight was very important. "I want access to the Palace library and I promise you I will not cause any damage to any kind of work. I am okay if you can get one hour in a week."
He had stopped laughing long ago but if he could he would laugh in her face. She thought she could co in demand an hour a week at their library? The library belonged to her just as any part of this world did. It was amusing to think that she thought she had to ask for permission and was settling in with the least bit.
If only she knew that anyone in this world would not think twice to lay down their life for her even if it was for her amusent.
He nodded but then asked, "And why do you want that?"
She had the answer ready and now it was not because she wanted to help them but it was a stubborn stand that she had taken against him.
"The reason is the sa but I think I would like to start from the palace library instead of the school one. School library has the sa stuff as any other school would." She spoke as a matter of fact because every school library has the sa amount of books which ant that she was not going to find sothing special there. She had to find it where the information was sacred.
" Ohh," he sang out the word, "and pray tell what would happen if you do not find sothing like that? Are you bargaining with Adeline? What do I get at the other end?" He raised an eyebrow as she narrowed her eyes at him slightly.
Annoying and getting a reaction out of her was the best thing ever happened to him.
"What do you want?" She said as she stood up. "Are these not your people? Should not be helping instead? How can you ask for so kind of bargain?"
"I don't know," he shrugged, "because maybe I can?"
She wanted to strangle him now. Who would know if she wanted to strangle him? No one would ever doubt that it was a human who had killed The mighty lycan?
"I can do sothing too." She said,
"What is that?" He smiled, a mocking one at that.
She blinked her eyes innocently and stood up, "I recently got to know about the fact that people here can get married at the age of 18. Given that the bonds here forever. I was thinking of having companionship. So if you would excuse now," she walked down the small stairs with the benches and was almost out of the room when she felt her body being pushed towards the door. Her cheek was laid flat against the door.
"Companionship?" He growled in her ear but Adeline did not feel fear. Instead she was feeling cheeky.
"Yes," she said and hid her smile, "preferably soone who does not try to taunt everyti."
"Taunt?" He repeated, "you think I taunt you?"
"No," she denied and her expressions changed to seriousness, "you break my heart."
She turned around even though his grip did not lose. He placed his hand on the other side of her as she said, "you break my heart of everything that has happened to. What do you think happened Xavier? You lost your brother, I lost my father and we both lost a baby that we did not even though we were there!" She yelled. "What more happened to you that did not to ?"
He remained silent.
She scoffed, "And don't tell that you grieved for 7 months because I did that too. I grieved as well. I grieved more than you."
"You hid things from ." He stated.
She barked out a laugh, " So," hit, "did," hit, " you." She slapped his chest one more ti. Adeline glared at him. "You hid things from . You hid things from first. You had your entire existence hidden from , Xavier, do you even know what you are holding against ?" She spat.
He stepped back.
"Oh why now!" She taunted him. "Why step back now?" She scread, finally letting it out. "Don't step away from because I am doing that to you!" She said before glaring at him for a second longer and walking out of the door. She slamd it as hard as she could.
Fuck him.
