It might have taken her minutes, hours probably to finally let go and stop crying. When she did, she found Javis right beside the door with clothes in his hands. 

Curious as to why he was standing there, Adaline got up only to have a handkerchief held her way that she gratefully took.

The next thing she knew was that Xavier had picked her up princess style and they were walking inside the house. 

He was also wearing clothes so the butler must have brought those for him and handed them to him when she was blowing her nose and wiping away her tears. 

She placed her cheat against the warm shoulder of her love and relished the feeling. There was something different when they were together. She felt more open and calm.

It was still amazing about how she had always read about love and it has turned out to be something completely different for her. This love had grounded her and made her more humble for the small moments they had together. 

Thankfully Mrs Brawn was not in the room or anywhere near. He closed the door with his leg and placed her on the bed before he sat on his side and leaned on her. 

"You cried so much," he stated softly as he caressed her hair gently. Whenever he did something like that, who could say that he was a man that had enough strength to pick up and throw a car? 

Something she remembered right before she had seen her father\'s dead eyes. 

"I had to," Adaline answered, "it got too much." 

"I have a personal tutor too. I have learnt everything you are learning." 

Her frown marred her face. "What?"

Xavier nodded and a smile played on his lips. "My uncle\'s health worsened and we had to speed up everything especially after you were gone. That was my motivation because if I ever were to be the king, anything I did to bring you back would be excused." 

"Wow," she muttered sarcastically. 

He nodded, "it must have slipped from everyone\'s mind and then we realised that we have to behave like kings and Queens, so although fast my entire family had to go through tutors to behave like them." 

"No way!" Her eyes widened, "even your parents?"

"Them especially," he answered with a laugh of his own and twinkle in his eyes. "My mother was so pissed at first but she understood it later. We might be known as the savages because we still prefer to stay to our roots. There are traditions and manners we have to uphold." 

Xavier bend down to kiss her forehead. "You don\'t need to learn everything she says aur remember it but just use it when you are in the presence of other kingdoms representatives." 

"Why?" 

"Because this common set of rules draws lines that we cannot cross." He shrugged. "I\'m not sure if it has helped but it does tone down the aggressiveness." 

Adaline sighed loudly. When he put it like that it was much easier to understand where he was coming from. 

"I would have appreciated it if you told me as it were before rather than just shoving a tutor in my face." She lightly shrugged, not apologizing for her opinion. "I understand that it has been hard for you—\'

"Hard?" He spat and got off her before she could realise what was happening. "Do you have no fucking sense of self-preservation?" 

Adaline set up on the bed while she stared at him who was at the end of the bed yelling at her. 

"How about next time you get killed directly, huh? Would that be better?" 

She breathed in before carefully saying the words, "you are overreactin—" 

"Don\'t you dare finish that word!" He roared and she flinched. "Do you even realise what kind of threat you put yourself in? All she had to say was one word of intention: she wanted to kill you and that would have been all." He neared har until his face was in hers, "she could have eviscerated your existence." 

Adaline gulped. 

"Yes," he confirmed. "fucking god knows what kind of magic she was practicing because magic is strong enough to make sure that none of us remember you after you die." He spat and she flinched at his words. 

She looked away from him. Just when she thought that she had gotten rid of every single tear in her system she could feel another set building in. 

"It\'s not fair, Adaline." He shook his head, staring at her with disdain clear on his face. "You don\'t get to cry just because you realise that you are wrong." 

"I know.." she sniffed before looking down at her hands. "I do." 

The scent of sadness wafted off her and the moment it reached him his resolve broke. Xavier reached forward and pulled her into his arms. Making sure to take her head to his neck chest, he patted her back. "You little baby, why don\'t you leave it to me; protecting you?" 

She sniffed and cried silently which he let her. 

Gently, he let his words do the job. "You are trusting Adaline. Trusting enough to trust the wrong people and as much as it might turn out in your favour the probability of it is far greater that it won\'t."

"I know much more about the world we live in which is why I always tell you to trust me." He placed a kiss on the Crown of her head. "You will understand it one day, just not today." 

"When?" He heard a choked out word. "When would I not make mistakes?" 

Fuck, it took everything in him to control the laughter. 

Those were the same words he had once said to his uncle and shit be real, that man had laughed at his face. So he repeated what his uncle had once told him but lovingly instead of laughing at her. 

"Mistakes are something you will make throughout your life," he kissed her forehead again, "what matters is how you correct them."
