CHAPTER 7
In the palace, Sea Hawk, the rest of the masters and guards gathered and were trying to defeat the villains and Skeletor's robot army, but they could not stop the villain from entering the castle.
Sitting on the throne, Skeletor was triumphant and bragging that he had defeated the universe's most powerful brethren when he heard something at the door of the hall.
'' Show yourself to your new king! ''
'' You'll never be king. '' He hears a voice, and in a short time King Miro appears.
"You're just a coward looking for power. '' Randor enters the room next to his father.
'' And to get him he'll have to get past us! '' Adam adds.
Skeletor nearly fell off the throne of so much laughter. '' And what makes you come here thinking you have a chance against me? I defeated He-man and She-ra in one go! ''
"You defeated them because the rare minerals directly attacked their strength, but we do not have that strength, and that means it will not hurt us. '' Adam explained.
While they distracted Skeletor, Adora and Marlena were hidden one on each side of the thrones and pointed the laser weapons towards the villain.
'' That's what you think, Prince. '' It was the angry response.
"Try me if you do not believe me. ''
This phrase was the signal that the princess and the queen waited for and before Skeletor even got up, they fired and the villain fainted knocking down the weapon, that was caught by Adora.
'' Guards, take him, '' Randor orders and watches the guards take the villain off the throne, but a smoke appears in front of the guards revealing Evil-lyn.
"They may have won one more time, but we will triumph!" She said and with a magic pass, she and Skeletor disappear.
'' We've heard this before. '' Marlena speaks.
As her parents return to the throne, Adora walks over to Duncan with the gun in hand and hands it over to him.
'' Duncan, in a way to make it disappear. ''
'' Of course, Adora. '' Making a small bow to the kings, he leaves the room.
Adam looks at the window and realizes that what's left of the robot army is retreating, along with Skeletor's henchmen.
"We have to thank He-man and She-ra for this plan. "Randor commented.
"Actually, father, I heard it was just She-ra who did it." Adam commented smilingly at Adora and still surprised by his sister's plan.
'' He-man helped. '' Adora responds returning her brother's smile, not realizing the look of pride her mother gave her and your brother.
Randor looked questioningly at his children, a feeling that they were talking into code returned, but the king decided to leave it for later.
'' Adora! '' They heard Hawk speak as he entered the room and hugged his bride. 'Glad you're okay!' "
''I am fine. '' Adora replied smiling.
Adam smiled at the couple and without thinking he looked at Teela, who had entered the room next to Sea Hawk, and wished he and her had a relationship similar to that of his sister and future brother-in-law, but then yawned and felt very much more tired than at the beginning of the day. '' I think it's time to go back to bed.''
'' I agree with you, my brother. '' Adora yawned.

The following afternoon the adult members of the royal family were talking about different things, things like happenings in their realms, differences and similarities between their children, about their own childhood and adolescence, and finally about the details of Adora's marriage.
"I'm thinking of putting flowers all over the room for decoration, what do you think, Adora?" Marlena asked, catching the attention of her daughter, who was talking to her cousins.
'' I think it's great, Mom, but I also think it's too early to start preparing. '' Adora responds blandly.
''Nonsense, a wedding takes longer to ride than you think!'' Her aunt, Queen Carla said.
"That's true," Miranda agreed.
"Girls, come to my office, we must begin to see the preparations," Marlena said, standing up.
All the women got up and started toward the queen's office, Adora was the last to get up and follow the others while Adam laughed at his sister.
::: Idiot.::Adora thought.
::: I heard! ::: Adam sent in his mind, still laughing.
Adora smiles and follows her mother to her office.

'' First we have to set the date, so we can start preparing everything! '' Marlena said as soon as they were all settled.
"I always found the winter better, you know, the white dress by the snow." Miranda said dreamily.
''No, it's better in the fall, the leaves of the trees falling ...''Carla commented.
Adora could not help but smile and laugh as her aunts spoke.
'' Guys, I think it's better. You love deciding, after all, it's her wedding. "Marlena turned to her daughter and spoke with a smile. '' What date do you think, dearest one? ''
'' Look I do not know exactly, but I think I prefer summer or spring, warmer seasons, but I really wanted to get married after the war in Etheria ended. '' Adora responds.
"Why?" Edwina spoke for the first time.
"I do not want to risk starting a family in the middle of a war. '' Adora responds calmly. "That was the reason Hawk and I took so long to be engaged. ''
'' Then get out of Etheria! Ready and settled, let She-ra take care of things over there! '' Edwina speaks in disbelief.
"It's not that easy and rebellion needs me. I can't leave they right now that the final battle is approaching! ''
'' How do you know the battle is coming to an end? ''
"Because Hordak is getting scared of what we are capable of, mainly because most of the planet is no longer under his control, and with all the attention the Horde leader is giving us, it shows that the leader is also with fear. ''
'' Convinced. '' Edwina speaks with arrogance.
'' Edwina arrives! '' Carla speaks loudly.
'' I think it's a good idea, Adora, and if you think the war is almost over, I'll trust you. How long do you think this war will last? "Marlena asks.
'' Something tells me that at most a year. '' Adora responds confidently.
'' Okay, so let's call it a year from now and ... three months, I think it's good, '' Marlena exclaims.
Adora agreed.
