~ In the Dining room~

Tessa waited for Korr and Adaline to come back. Until then she was making polite conversation with Cassandra and her husband. Xavier on the other hand was sitting completely silent before he excused himself and stood up to walk away.

Tessa didn't mind but then her mate came back and Adaline was missing from his side.

"Adeline?" She whispered to him about her whereabouts.

Korr nodded his head quickly and announced loudly, "Adeline and Xavier having a private dinner."

"Ah, that's good." Cassandra praised. "I like that."

Tessa kept her face neutral as she stared at the women. Of Course Cassandra liked it because it had the benefit for her son more than it had for adaline.

"Do you want to say something Theresa?" Javier turned his head slightly to her way as he asked her.

She knew what he had been doing all along Adeline. Which is why it was obvious that the research was not going to fall in the trap that he was setting for them. She did not want the man that had been there for her and he's constantly to be in any debt of the royal family.

"Yes, I would, sir." Tessa began very respectfully. She turned to Cassandra who she considered to be a close friend no matter what, "you are mother of Xavier and I am mother like figure to adeline. We both have been the prime witness to what they have been through so what makes you think that sending them together on a solo trip to fix everything?"

Cassandra previously had a previous smile on his face but that faltered. At that moment Tessa knew that Cassandra was aware about her being right.

She continued, "the previous six months have been very depressing for Adaline and that's a huge thing for humans. I understand that they have been through the same and I really don't want any of them to go through this again."

"I don't either," Cassandra defended. "But the only way for them to be happy is with each other and you know that." She pointed to Korr. "You know that when you're giving him a chance you feel much better."

"What I am doing is not a point because I haven't been through any of what Adeline has been through." Tessa raised a finger making a point. "Frankly speaking I don't see the reason for sending them together when they cannot even sit in the same room and look at each other with civility. Send them together to a whole different part of the country. How did we expect them to behave when there is no one to remind them?"

Javier tutted at that as he roughly from his forehead. "I do see a point there I would not stand against that." He looked at Cassandra, "we need to do something about that because if they do decide to go with each other they need to be civil."

"And what possibly can make them be civil if none of us is there?" Korr added his own words, grabbing the attention successfully. "I know what the queen mother is suggesting so I agree with her," he glanced at his own impressed mate, "but to be honest I do not want Adeline to come back in the worst form she has ever been in."

"I don't either." Cassie added in a sad voice. Yes at the end of the day she was a mother of a son involved in this Fiasco but she did care about Adelene. "Perhaps . . ." She sighed and leaned back into her chair breaking the regal posture, "I don't know I want them to figure it out on their own but I know they won't be able to do that." She threw hands up in the air in frustration.

Tessa hummed too. "I mean I'll be honest when I was kept in the custody of Adaline I was expecting boy troubles but," she tsked, "this just keeps on going to the next level."

Everyone chuckled, lighting up the mood of the room slightly.

They all fell silent.

Everybody was thinking about different solutions to the matter and to be honest Tessa was considering not to send Adeline at all because it was a very difficult choice as a parent to send Adeline back to a place that would put her in depression.

"What if we send the beta couple and gamma female couples with them?" Javier spoke up and looked at all of them for their opinions.

Korr considered it. "If all the three ruling couples would leave, who would be left behind?"

"Us?" Cassandra pointed to herself. " We and the parents of beta and previous gamma couples could act as regents?"

"What Channel are you on?" Tessa shook her head as she gave a light chuckle, "I am honest if that is what you want to go ahead with go ahead but I am not ready to send Adeline."

Javier gave out a long sigh at that. He nodded his head very slowly as if making an understanding with himself before turning to Teresa Quill. "I understand why you come from, from a parents point of view," he gave her a small smile, "but that mountains are secret because we have temples there and the prayers, the chants, the hymns, everything there's comes a person down mentally and spiritually and I think both of the children that."

"Not only that those mountains were the last place or goddess was seen, so it has a little bit of magic in it." He smiled at the end, " I would be happy if you had sent Adeline, because I really hope this will work."

"Are you a firm believer of God?" Tessa questioned politely and out of curiosity.

He shrugged. "After losing a child so unexpectedly and being saved from using another one while one again is in danger I would believe in anything." He explained and picked up his glass of water, "and miracles do happen." Or at least he prayed for one here.
