All these ten people would be facing different complications which carry heavy consequences if they take a wrong step.

It's basically ten people against a strong, powerful and mysterious enemy of the kingdom. And, the picture they are aware of is just a drop of ocean of the whole big picture.

"And, Brina, we are taking a diversion due to climate change. It has to be a one hour flight journey and two hours of ship journey to the academy. But, due to a cyclone we will be taking another route." Louis said, after everyone went back.

He is helping Brina to pack up her luggage so that they can go to bed together.

Louis is extremely sad because he doesn't really know if they would get to sleep together during their stay in Alpha Academy.

Brina is no different. She is already feeling lovesick. Her heart is all heavy with unfathomable pain and anxiety.

"Really? A diversion?" Brina asked, controlling the surging sadness in her tone.

She will really miss Louis!!

"We will be stopping at Kingdom Ventris. We rerouted the plane to one of the border cities of Kingdom Ventris. From there we will be going by road. It will actually lessen our journey time by an hour" Louis answered her as he zipped her last bag and placed it next to the main door.

"Oh! If it is the shortest route, why did we select a longer route before?" Brina asked. Her voice still grave with sadness.

This time it is obvious for Louis that she is controlling her tears. It's the power of love! It can make even the strongest person to cry like a baby.

Louis walked to her and hugged her to his chest as he placed his chin on her forehead. "It's because our connections with the Kingdom Ventris is not really great. It is not too bad nor too good. It's equivocal to judge. We can't really say they are our enemies but at the same time they are not our allies like Kingdom Sophene. And, they aren't neutral like Kingdom Myraina too" he explained.

"Oh. So, we have to be careful during our journey right?" Brina questioned.

"Not really. They won't play cheap tricks. Their King and Queen are people of high regard to do such kinds of things" Louis said.

Brina nodded her head but buried her head in his chest. "I don't want to go," she said, her voice almost like a child's.

"Where? To Alpha Academy?" Louis asked as he worriedly looked into her eyes.

He could see how reluctant she was. It's very obvious she doesn't want to go.

But, Brina is more than aware that she must go.

Brina nodded her head. "We won't be getting to meet. It's almost like we are stranger's. I can't take that, Louis. I want you" she said.

Louis laughed and gently flicked her forehead. "Silly girl! No one will stop me from meeting my baby. Don't worry" he chuckled softly.

Brina pouted but nodded her head and allowed Louis to tug themselves in bed.

"Good night, love" he said, pecking her forehead.

"Good night, Prince Edward" Brina said, amusing Louis.

"Why did you call me like that?" he asked.

"I just felt like it. Moreover, I have to get accustomed to call you like that, anyway" she answered, her eyes closed.

Louis didn't probe her any further. Though he was curious what the reason was, he knows that his baby girl needs as much rest as possible.

…..

The next day…

Brina and Louis woke up early. Not because they had to leave but because they wanted to spend more time with each other.

Though their eyelashes are hooding close, they just wanted to stay awake. This short time is very precious for them because it could possibly be the last time they might share a room for a time being.

So, they decided to cherish it.

Cuddled on the sofa, they just continued staring at the breathtaking sunrise.

It was too beautiful and bright just like their never ending love.

Just like how they are always desperate to meet each other, in the same way, the sun always waits to meet the sky. There are times when they had to part away for their own good, before reuniting.

Later, the lovesick took a bath together and prepared a simple breakfast. And, they couldn't help but feed each other in longingness.

Though they haven't parted away yet, they are already missing each other.

"It's time, babygirl. I need to leave for my suite, to bid my farewell to my parents ." Louis said, caressing her hair.

Brina nodded her head. Looking into his eyes, she hugged him tightly and kissed him on his lips.

Louis of course deepened it. This could be the most emotional and passionate kiss they have ever shared in this time being.

They didn't pull away till their faces flushed red and their lungs screamed for oxygen.

Their tongues danced with each other while they desperately explored each other. Their bodies are stuck to each other, so reluctant to part away.

Yet, they had to. What could be more torture than this? You could see your lover in front of you all the time but couldn't hug or kiss. They have to act like strangers!!

Louis leaned his forehead against her forehead and closed his eyes. "I will search for a way to meet you everyday, okay? Don't feel sad about it anymore" he said.

Brina nodded her head. "I know, and I will be waiting for you" , she said, parting away.

"Now, go away before I change my mind and lock both of us here" Brina joked, pushing him away.

….

After a few hours,

All the eight ladies, Louis, Daniel, Eliina, Queen mother Greta, Prime minister, Sir Francis, Cultural minister, Sir Martin boarded the private jets.

Along with them, their friends joined them too.

Louis, Eliina, Daniel, Greta, Martin, Olivia, Brina, Katherine, Amelia and Princess Penelope are present in one of the planes while the remaining are in another one.

"Prince Edward, do you remember our time in academy? We were selected as Academy's King and Queen" Olivia said, intentionally trying to make others jealous
