While everyone was singing, Adora took a deep breath, blew out the candles on the cake and everyone clapped, the girl then cut the cake, after which her father fed her and kissed her on the cheek, causing her to smile, before the queen came along and she fed them back before the others came and did the same.
After they finished, the music started playing, and some people started dancing while others ate from the buffet.
"Adora," Alix called out, and Adora turned to look at him, dressed neatly in princely attire, and she smiled as he stared at her.
The girl wore a long soft gold and silver shining dress with a fine top forming neatly with her waistline, showing her shape, it had sequins with a wide bottom coming into a flair mixing the gold and silver along with flower designs.
She accessorized with a gold and silver bracelet and high strap, silver high heel shoes. Her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, with neat wavy curved curls and strands of her hair falling gracefully beside her face, and she wore a silver crown on her head.
Alix wore a dark blue tuxedo with black shoes and a cute handkerchief in his pocket with a gold chain hanging from it.
"Alix, what is it? You are staring," she said and he sighed.
"So are you, you look lovely," he replied.
"You look handsome," she commented as he approached her.
"What is it?" she inquired.
"Close your eyes for ten seconds, I brought you a gift," he responded, and she closed her eyes as he took a necklace from his pocket, lifted her hair up a little, and placed the necklace around her neck, then fixed her hair back, and the necklace glowed blue along with his eyes for a second before returning to normal.
"You can open your eyes now," he said, and she did, then smiled as she saw how lovely the necklace was.
"Happy birthday, Adora," he said and she
"This is lovely, thank you," she said, smiling.
The necklace was a crystal heart-shaped necklace with silver beadings surrounding it to form a nice design, and the color within the heart shimmered blue and purple.
"You're welcome," he replied as she clutched the heart on the necklace. He scoffed and extended his hand, which she held and he led her onto the dance floor.
"Do you really want to dance?" she asked as he wrapped his hand around her waist, drawing her closer to him. She looked him in the eyes, and he smirked.
"It's your birthday, we did say we'd all enjoy it, enjoy it, my lady," he responded as the music began to play and they placed their right palms against each other, slowly walking around in a circle, then as the pace of the music picked up, the others joined in and Alix pulled her closer to him then spun her around into a twirl, and as her dress opened up widely, looking beautiful and Adora smiled.
"Don't step on my feet," she said as they waltzed, and the king and queen smiled as the other dancers spread out on the floor, giving them the entire midsection.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "Where did you learn to dance like this Alix?" she asked.
"You can watch and learn things, this doesn't take much practice," he replied, and she smiled as he grabbed her waist and lifted her up in the air, spinning her around, and she chuckled as he placed her back down and she braced her head against his as the music slowed down and they were both breathing heavily while slowly moving in sync.
"You okay?" he asked and she nodded when they had to switch partners.
"You look a little more, happy tonight," the person with whom she was now dancing said, and she looked up as he smiled and she smirked.
"Ifrit," she said, and he smiled as Alix danced with another girl and looked back at her.
"Happy birthday, Adora," he replied to which she smiled.
"Thank you, you came all the way here just for this?" she inquired, to which he replied with a nod.
"I'll be here for three days, I had to come for your birthday, meet me at your favorite cafe tomorrow if you're free, and don't leave your partner's side, enjoy your night sweetheart," he said, kissing her on the cheek and spinning her around as he was about to walk past Alix but instead he stopped and placed his hand on his shoulder.
Alix's eyes widened as he realized it was the same presence he had sensed when Adora spoke alone on occasion.
"Keep an eye on her tonight, help protect her, don't leave her side," he said and before Alix could say anything else, he had disappeared and before the princess could go into someone else's arm, Alix grabbed her by her arm and pulled her back to him and she smiled.
"Are you all right?" he inquired.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied as the music stopped and they walked away from the dance floor to the buffet.
"Who was that?" he asked and she glanced at him.
"A powerful and ancient demon," she replied.
"I'm not going to doubt you, boyfriend?" he asked and she scoffed.
"Never, that person is family to me, why? Are you jealous or so?" she asked to which he scoffed.
"I don't think so," he replied as he passed her a glass of wine, which she accepted.
"Thank you very much, Alix," she said.
"You're welcome," he replied as she sipped her wine. Alix's eyes narrowed as he noticed a few people staring at Adora.
"You seem to have a lot of fans here," he said, and she smirked, knowing exactly what he meant.
"Your highness, happy birthday," Erica said as she approached them and Alix looked at the woman and she smiled at him.
"Thank you, Erica, and how are you?" Adora inquired.
"I am fine, your highness and you?" she asked.
"I am fine, thank you," she responded then looked at Alix who was paying attention to his surroundings, especially a few of the members of the parliament.
