CHAPTER 17
"I still don't believe they still exist." Marlena exclaimed. Referring to the secret passages that cross the palace. They had made the whole trip on foot and after several hours arrived at the palace and found the passages just as they always had been.
'Well, whatever they did to our planet, the person who changed everything shouldn't know about them, so it didn't erase.' He stopped and looked at the map. Estamos 'We're near the servants' wing. We can infiltrate there. Pretend we are part of the new ones. '
Marlena agreed. They would not be suspicious because it was time for new servants to arrive. The only thing they should be careful about is not finding Caspian.
''Good. And when do we find Adora? "Marlena asked and the question made Randor stop and look.
Marlena widened her eyes and spoke. ''Oh no.''
''What? I didn't even say anything! "Randor exclaimed.
And you don't even have to. You do not have a plan. That means we have to improvise. Okay, we're running against the clock, we'd better go. '' Marlena took her husband's arm and finished guiding them to the servants' wing.
"It's getting dark." Randor exclaimed. Vamos Let's do it now? '
Sim Yes. 'Was the answer.
The king knew her well enough to know that it is best to be quiet at this time.
'' The chief of the servants answers the Queen, only and only the queen. As soon as we get in, she'll do the rest for us. ''

After dinner, Adora put Alexandra to sleep in the crib they had carried to the side of the bed, after putting the covers over the girl, she took a deep breath. ::: Finally slept ... :::
"Hi?" James entered the room and was immediately silenced by Adora.
He scowled. '' She's sleeping ... '' It wasn't a question.
"Yes, she is." Adora whispered. '' As always does this time since she was born! ''
'' Sorry. '' He raised his hands in the form of surrender. '' It's what I've got news for you. ''
Adora stopped pulling the covers back to lie down and looked at him waiting for him to continue.
James almost laughed at the scene. This is very similar to when they were teenagers and were training while talking but managed to control themselves. '' I spoke to Alexandra's pediatrician. He released her to travel. You can go with me. ''
::: Oh no ... ::: Adora thought, but on the outside she broke into a forced smile, a kind of smile she hoped would never again be forced to give. And ran to him, pretending to be the loving wife. Years of having a dual identity have helped her at this point more than she would like to admit.
'This is great!' 'She exclaimed.
James flashed a satisfied smile before kissing her.

'' This is horrible! 'Adora sat down on her office sofa tiredly.
'' It will ruin much of the plan. '' Lohni sighed.
''Not really. You'll have Adam and Teela to help with this part. "Adora commented.
"The cowardly prince?" Lyna asked, perplexed and received a warning look from Adora. '' Okay, okay. 'The prince who will help us save the day!'. Better? ''
''Better. I couldn't say no without raising suspicion of him, so that will change things up a bit and ... '
Adora stopped talking when someone knocked on the door. After Lohni and Lyna approached the wall and pretended to be maids ready to answer the queen at the first call and Adora spoke to whoever on the other side came in, the door opened and the head of the maids joined a red-haired woman. A woman the three of them knew very well.
''Majesty. I'd like to introduce you to Marle. She came in last night. I thought the registration was over last week, Your Majesty ... '
Adora watched closely and for the few signs Marlena could give, she realized that her mother knew they were in another reality.
Marlena was trying to signal her daughter. She knew Adora had telepathy and was very good at recognizing body language. She just hoped Adora was out of the spell and knew the truth.
''Yes, it's over, but I got an indication about her. Welcome to the team. "Adora started talking as she faced her mother and then looked at the head of the maids. '' I think we can get that job now, right? Lyna, go to Karen and help her with whatever she asks. Marle, isn't it? You can take Lyna's place for today. "Adora exclaimed.
'' Of course majesty. Come on Lyna, we have a lot to do. '' They both left the room and after a few minutes, to make sure the two had moved away, Adora got up and closed the curtains, then turned to her mother and ran for hug her.
Marlena was surprised. '' I should guess no one can keep you in control for long. '' Marlena started to hug her a little tighter. "Glad you're fine, my dear ..." She whispered to Adora.
'' And so do you. '' Adora hugged her tighter.
"Good idea to get Evil-lyn out of the room." Marlena pulled back from the hug and smiled a little.
'Amazingly, she's on our side, your majesty.' Lohni replied with a smile. '' It's good to see you Queen Marlena. ''
'The same goes for you, Captain Lohni.'
'' At the moment it's just Lohni. ''
'' So the same goes for me. It's just Marlena. ''
Lohni grins a small smile, which soon disappears.
Marlena looks back at Adora. ''Your father is in secret tunnels. We can help whatever is happening, but we need to know what is happening first. '
Adora was about to start explaining when Lohni interrupted her. '' Adora, we cannot keep the windows closed for long. James still has guards watching you. '
'' He's stupid enough to think I do not know of their existence. It's amazing to think that this idiot was the same one who got Eternia's power. Something a lot of villains have been trying for years. '' Adora helped Lohni open the curtains as Marlena approached Alexandra.
''As she grew up ... Hi beautiful ...' 'Marlena smiled and took her in her arms.
Adora raised her right hand, which began to glow and the faint glow concentrated on the walls and windows. '' Okay, so no one heard us. Now we can talk.''

'' And that's what they planned. Adora said she and Lohni have some cards up their sleeve. Something she wants to try today, but the plan itself will start without her. Adam had taken care of the rest as soon as we found him. Along with people who can remember the true reality. '' Marlena told her husband hours later during the short break. '' But Lohni made it clear that there won't be many. ''
'' The powers of my mother do it? '' Randor seemed destabilized since Marlena had spoken it.
''Yes. Against her will, but yes. Now Shadow Weaver has her powers. '' His wife answered and then asked worriedly. ''Are you alright?''
''I am fine. Let's just take care that this plan has nothing that can fail. ''
