Chapter 462 Should Stay
"Good morning, Alix," Zack said.
"Good morning Zack, you are early, can\'t sleep much more?" he asked and Zack chuckled then looked at him before sighing.
"It\'s something like that, you looked like you had one hell of a night, nightmares or something?" Zack asked and Alix sighed as he looked down.
"I am not sure what, either way, I know I need to sleep more..." he responded and Zack chuckled.
"Well, you can go back to sleep, also Sally said to join them for breakfast at the cafe, she is going to open a little late today, she came over earlier and I was going to wake you up but she stopped me," Zack said and Alix glanced at him then smiled a little.
"I see, well we will join them for breakfast, she must be happy after all, someone important just returned to her life," Alix replied and Zack nodded then the young man sighed and looked at the time.
"It\'s getting late, I will go freshen up then we will go for breakfast," Alix said then poured himself a glass of water, which he drank before going to freshen up.
Zack continued doing his work on his phone, since he had business to take care of as well and couldn\'t let it down.
A little while after, when Alix finished freshening up, he got dressed then exited the bathroom.
Zack looked at him and he grabbed his bike key and Zack glanced at him.
"Shall we head to the cafe?" Zack asked and Alix nodded then both of them left the apartment and they went to the cafe, which was not yet open.
Alix knocked on the door and Dral opened it and when he saw Alix he smiled at him and both of the boys greeted good morning as they entered the cafe.
"Good morning, Alix, Zack," Sally said when she saw them and they smiled at her then greeted her and she approached Alix then hugged him tightly and he flinched a little.
"Thank you, kid," she said and Alix patted her on her back before sighing and Dral felt a little relieved, seeing Alix was changing more and more with each day that passed by and so far it was for the good.
"You guys sit down, we will eat breakfast then you can go and I will open the cafe, Dral told me you had things you wanted to do as well, I won\'t get in the way of that," she said after raising off of Alix and he patted her on the shoulder as he walked past her.
"You are not getting in the way, Sal," he replied then sat down with Zack and she smiled at them.
"Dral, do you want an invitation as well?" Sally asked and he scoffed then sat down with the boys and she went to get their food.
"So do you all have plans for today?" Dral asked.
"Yeah, we are going to look into something that felt a little weird last night, if anything happens we are going to contact you, don\'t worry, for now, you should stay with Sally, don\'t you think you have been away from her for a little too long? You owe her, don\'t you?" Alix asked.
"Yes, I do and I will stay with her, I am not going anywhere, not yet at least," he responded and Zack sighed.
Both of the boys understood what he meant by that since they didn\'t know what was going to happen or whether they would even live or not after the final fight gets started.
"I will call on you when I am going to tell the king, at least then you will have to come," Alix said.
"Yeah, he knows me after all, we were friends once as well, there will be no other reason for him to doubt you either, it will clear everything up and fast, no one will be able to question you," he replied.
"He is right, we are right here Alix, if you ever need us to do anything, we will," Sally added as she brought their breakfast and placed it on the table.
"Smells nice, thank you, Sal," Alix said with a smile and she grinned then sat down with them.
"Well, you are welcome, you guys will have a hearty breakfast, it will help you get your day started, enjoy it and then you can be on your way," she replied and they laughed.
After they began eating with Sally and Dral, Alix began thinking about things that needed to be done, including what he needed to do and he sighed then took his coffee and sipped it, knowing that now things were going to get harder.
"Are you guys going to the castle after this?" Sally asked and Alix glanced at her.
"Yeah, we need to talk to the princess and Xemon, we already agreed to meet the others there as well," Alix responded.
"I see, that\'s nice, I am glad you guys have each other, you cannot defeat these enemies alone, it\'s best to have comrades who will have your back, right Dral?" Sally asked.
"She is right, it\'s not a bad thing to depend on others either," Dral responded and Alix scoffed, knowing who he was referring to.
A little while after, when Alix finished eating his breakfast, he and Zack thanked Sally and Darl then exited the cafe, when Zack saw Alix\'s bike he smiled.
"This is yours?" Zack asked.
"Yeah, get on, we will get to the castle faster, even though it\'s a little weird, whatever," he responded and Zack chuckled.
"Yeah, you are right, this bike must have been expensive," Zack said.
"Yeah, I am pretty sure that it is expensive," he replied and Zack glanced at him then they got onto the bike and took off, heading to the castle.
A little while after, as they were about to pass the castle gate, Zack\'s eyes widened when a gush of wind so strong, blew towards them, nearly pushing them along with the bike away but Alix drew the brake, stopping the bike.
"A mecha!" Zack exclaimed as he stared at the machine, which had started up on the front lawn of the castle.
