Wake up, girls… and boy. It's time for practice."
A voice broke the silence.
Peter groaned, pulling the blanket over his head.
"It's just 5 AM… I can't wake up…"
"You have to, sloth 🦥," Angel said, still half-asleep.
Peter sat up instantly.
"If I'm a sloth… then you're a turtle."
Angel turned sharply.
"What did you say???"
Peter smirked.
"Oh, you can't hear?"
"I can hear very well," Angel replied.
"Maybe you can't, Peter."
"Silence!"
Dr. Louis' voice echoed through the room.
Everything went quiet.
Peter leaned slightly toward Angel and whispered,
"Maybe he's a lion…"
Elsa smiled softly.
"At last… you understand it, guys."
Angel forced a small smile…
But her mind wasn't there.
Three royals…
My queen…
The words from last night echoed again.
Dr. Louis stepped forward.
His expression serious.
"We are in an important mission now."
Everyone straightened.
"The practice begins today."
He looked at each of them carefully.
"You must give your full strength… and patience."
A pause.
"Because strength alone is not enough…
if it is not used with patience and intelligence."
"Before that… change into your training suits."
Moments later—
They all stood ready.
Angel looked down at her suit.
A small smile appeared.
"Wow… it's my favorite color… dark blue."
For a second—
Dr. Louis' expression changed.
Just slightly.
But enough.
Angel noticed it.
Her eyes narrowed a little.
Why did he react like that…?
But she said nothing.
Her face turned calm again.
Inside—
She was already thinking.
I need answers…
And I have a plan.
Peter stretched lazily.
"Can we get this over with?"
Dr. Louis raised his hand.
"Today's task is simple."
Everyone looked at him.
"Cut the leaf."
A glowing leaf appeared in the air before them.
Floating.
Still.
Angel frowned.
"That's easy—"
Dr. Louis interrupted.
"Without using your hands."
Silence.
"What???"
Everyone spoke at once.
Angel stared at the leaf.
Her mind started racing.
Without hands…?
The leaf moved slightly.
As if waiting.
Angel's eyes slowly sharpened.
This wasn't just training.
This was a test.
"If I can't use my hands… then what power am I supposed to use?"
