Quill had sent him a message and the very first thing Xavier did after waking up was call the man who had picked up immediately as a waiting for it. 

"Yes, Quill?" 

​​

"Good morning your highness," the man did not forget his manners and the protocol that was expected to be followed by him, "I apologize for disturbing you in the early hours of the morning—"

"Cut to the chase," 

"Yes, your highness," Korr cleared his throat, "harness and I were talking early in the morning. She had retired early in the evening yesterday and woke up in the early hours of dawn which is why I went to give her company. She has made the demand of going to school."

" School?" Xavier repeated, taken aback. " Did she say why she wanted to go to school?" Adeline was one of those people that might have a weird idea that there was always a logic behind her words. Right now he was failing to understand what it was. 

"No, sir," 

He scowled. What was she upto. 

"When should I expect an answer from you, sir?" 

He sighed, "when have you told her?"

"The evening."

"I shall get back to you before that." He said before placing the headset on its receiver. He sighed again. 

For a moment he stopped thinking about it and went to have his bath. He would think about it to clear your mind and after he had his breakfast. When he reached his dressing room the servants were already there to do the same. Within moments he was walking to the dining room. 

Only to his surprise his father was sitting there along with his mother. 

"Good morning," he wished and Javier stood up to give him a long hug. Javier placed his hand on his son\'s back and then on his head. It was just like he had done to Xavier when he was an infant trying to calm the boy down by letting him know that he was safe with him. 

"It\'s alright now." He added softly, "Give it time." 

Numerous occasions had gone by when his father had to use his dominance on his brother and him. But this woman stood out from the rest of them because this time his father\'s chest rumbled and the sensation protected him from everything else. It casted an aura of protection around him letting him know that everything was going to be fine and that his father was going to be there to deal with it too. 

It was the best feeling ever. 

"Thank you," he muttered before pulling away, he sniffed, "Sage?" 

Cassandra chuckled, "Had to. I did not want anyone else to hear the conversation in this room and let your ego be hurt." 

Xavier laughed along with his father at his mother\'s teasing. 

"Ashlynn?" Javier asked as he took his seat again. 

Cassandra sighed dramatically, "the girl is getting dressed and prepared for the day. Trust me she had makeup artists walking to The palace at 7:00 in the morning." 

" Let her enjoy," the words alone caused them to shut down, "it is a given now." 

Cassandra slowly looked down to her lap and closed her eyes. She wanted to say it all but she knew that they had already had enough about this topic. It brought no one Joy which is why she shut up about it. The girl was going to die and it was a matter of time. It was an inside truth that everyone knew about which is why she kept shut. 

Ashlynn right after a few minutes and breakfast was served to all of them. Xavier sat at the head chair of the table given that he was the king and now held more power than anyone else in the room. 

"So I heard something," Cassandra dabbed the corner of her lips as she placed the napkin down, "your an Adaline\'s schooling is still incomplete." 

Xavier\'s hand froze mid air. He lowered it eventually and deadpanned, "You heard my talk with him." 

She shrugged, "You were too loud." 

"I was in my room with closed doors and windows and three whole days away from you mother. I think you need a new excuse." 

"Don\'t talk back," she scowled and a small giggle was heard from Ashlynn. "Anyway," she warned him not to interrupt with her eyes and turned to her husband who was already looking at her with pointed eyes. He knew that she was up to something. 

"I was thinking of sending Adaline and Xavier along with Ashlynn to political schooling and business and Royal history. They should know what they are going to get themselves into and it is only helpful now that Adeline wants to go back to schooling." 

Javier listened to her until she finished. " And who is to rule while he is studying? We cannot expect him to do both." 

"I was not going to ask him which is why you are going to act as the regent."

His eyes narrowed dangerously, "Cassandra?"

Telling him to act as a regent without discussing it felt was a dangerous tour package specially to be carried out in front of the king and in the hallway with servants and soldiers standing with their loyalty tied to him. 

She looked at Xavier, "you immediately took to The throne after the passing of your uncle which is why I have come up with a solution. You would have done all of that what happened which is why I am suggesting it now. You both need a break and I think it\'s going to be perfect." 

A break? " Father, what do you think?" He looked at Javier who was in deep thought. 

"If it was someone who was destined for The throne as the heir then it was obvious they were going to get the education for it. You won the competition from Alexander yet when your uncle passed away you immediately took to The throne which is why I think it\'s alright that you take the education needed for it." 

Xavier didn\'t put his own opinions in it. Perhaps, it might work out for the best.

"It is decided then," he glanced at Ashlynn, "We shall go to . . . School."
