CHAPTER 21

"Majesty?" Duncan asked.

The king stood still.

-''Dad? Are you okay? '"Adora asked worriedly.

Randor shook his head to clear it and turning to his daughter, he replied.

"I'm fine, my dear. Let's go back to the palace. '"The king went straight to the carriage without another word.

"What just happened?" 'Adora whispers to her brother.

He-man shrugs and responds with a little sadness. "'I think I know.'" After a few seconds in silence, the hero turned to his sister and spoke.

"I'll see you at home."

Adora nodded.

The journey back to the palace was strangely quiet. Randor went ahead to Duncan, was only concerned to drive to pay attention to the king. In the backseat were Adora, Hawk, Teela, and Starchild.

Adora was leaning against Hawk, who put her arm around his bride's shoulders, he noticed that Adora occasionally turned toward the front seat to try to see her father's expression but where she was sitting had no way.

"What is it?" He whispered.

"I'll tell you later." It was the answer.

Hawk nodded and laid his head against hers.

Meanwhile Randor was oblivious to everything around him. ::: As I did not realize before? Adam is He-man ::: It was the thought of the last ten minutes.:::That explains why Adam is never present when He-man is, the same for Adora, which meant that his daughter was She-ra. This explains why Adam went from a responsible prince to a complete irresponsible who is always late for everything. ::: The king shook his head. ::: I judged him for not being there for his tasks and responsibilities and not acting with the courage of a prince, when in fact Adam act with responsibility and courage every day.:::

After some time pondering this information, the king realized that now that he knew the secret of his children, he should be careful about when to talk to them about it, but soon after that he shook his head again. ::: No, I'll keep this information to myself as if none of this had happened. The two of them came a long way from hiding, and if I say I know it, it will ruin all the trouble of hiding this secret. I'll hide this information for a while and then I'll see if I talk to them.:::

The arrival at the palace was very agitated, since the party continued at the request of the king and the celebration continued until the wee hours of the morning.

Now it was almost at the end of the party when the twins got a dance together.

After a few moments in silence the prince spoke.

-''Something different?''

"Dad? Not in my eyes, but I'm still going to dance with him, that is, I'll see if he finds out. "'Adora replied. In Eternia to finish a party, two members of the royal family had to dance one last dance.

Adam nodded. "I really want him to know, sis."

"Why do I feel a 'but' there?" Adora raised her eyebrow.

- '' I do not know the reaction he could have. He is not always a patient man and I really do not know what he will talk or do. What if he takes our swords? ''

Meanwhile on the other side of the hall the king was thinking of what to do. ::: I can prevent them from putting themselves in danger if they do not have their swords. :::

Back to the twins.

"Adam, he would know we could not move away from our duties as heroes, even if we are without our swords."

With the king.

:::But that would not do any good, they'd run into danger just the same. And without these weapons they could get hurt.::: The king stayed worried.

With the twins.

"He's probably going to scold us for never talking to him about this." Adam exclaimed.

"And he'd be right to scold us, but he'll have to remind himself that we had no choice." -Adora once more speak.

With the king.

:::But they could trust the secret to me and Marlena! We would know to keep it safe. But they probably wanted to leave us safely. I'd better pretend I did not find out, at least for a while, and act normally. :::

The king looked at his watch and saw that it was time for the party to end. Waving to the conductor, he headed down the dance floor to dance the final dance with his daughter.

Adora noticed the change in the music as she and her brother bowed to each other.

"It looks like it's now little sister. Good luck. '' Adam whispered.

"'Thank you.'" She nodded and turned to her father who had reached out his hand while bowing.

The princess returned the reverence and put her hand on top of her father's and they both began to dance.
