Rise of the Malactric Heir

When the mage heard of another trouble, he sighed and asked, "What's the matter now?"

"Hayden," she replied, and Ayden glanced at her.

"Hayden? One of the best fighters from the phantom family?" he asked.

"Yes, he is trying to get a target, Vellon," she responded.

"I see, that's not good; I don't know anything about that if that's what you're looking for, Adora, his family takes those kinds of jobs, but going after Vellon is not good," he admitted.

"I thought so, someone gave him that job and I'd like to know who, could you please look into it for me?" she asked.

"Well, since you're being so nice and asking, I'll look into it for you, damn it, you guys are a bunch of headaches, I think I'll be getting gray hair before the proper age," he responded, and she chuckled.

"That might not be such a bad thing," she said, "it will give me something to laugh about."

"How funny, that's not going to happen, keep on dreaming," he replied and Kyris looked at her while smiling.

"Well to ease your tension, your brother is fine, and so are we; I understand you're concerned about your son," she teased, and Kyris laughed.

"Son, stop laughing at me, whatever, I'll call you guys later, bye," he said.

"Bye, old man," she replied, and he laughed before hanging up.

"Damn it, Adora, that had to be my brother; you love to torment him, don't you?" Kyris inquired.

"Delight is something else," she replied.

"True, his reactions are fantastic as well," Kyris said, and they laughed.

"You guys are right, troubling him is fun, but I feel sorry for the poor lad," Kyllan said and they grinned.

"As long as we don't overstep our boundaries, everything will be fine," Adora replied.

"True, he does it as well, so it's fine," Kyris said.

"Yeah," Adora agreed.

"Your highnesses, may I enter?" inquired the same staff member who had brought them breakfast.

"Sure," Adora replied.

"What is it?" Zavis asked with a soft tone.

"I just wanted to let you all know that we are arriving at the station," he responded.

"OK, thank you," Zavis said.

"You are welcome," he replied before leaving, and Adora finished her coffee before grabbing a chocolate-covered strawberry and biting into it.

"Ah, this is so nice," she said as she stood up, and Kyris laughed.

"I'm going to get my bags, the king said he'd send cars to pick us up, so we'll see," she said as she walked away.

"Well, that's less stressful," Zavis said.

"True," Ayden replied.

"Well, we should all grab our things now," Nina said, and the others agreed. They went to their rooms to get their things, and before they could sit down again, the train came to a halt and the crew announced their arrival at the station.

"Well, it appears that we have arrived," Adora said as they opened the door to their section and smiled as they saw guys dressed in black with weapons waiting by the platform and Adora sniffed the fresh air before getting out of the train then the guys in black bowed their heads to them.

"Princess Adora, we are here to escort you and your friends to the castle," a young man said as he approached them, and his phone rang at the same time.

"This one's for you, my lady," he said as he handed her the phone.

"Hello, Adora here," she said.

"Your highness, I am sorry I didn't come to receive you guys myself, I am at home in a meeting," the guy on the phone said and Adora smiled.

"Your highness, there is no need to apologize, thank you, and we will be there shortly," she replied.

"I hope to see you soon, kid, it's been a while, bye," he said.

"Bye," she replied, then hung up and handed the young man his phone as the other guards collected and took their bags.

"Follow me, please," the young man said, and they followed him out of the station, which was quite fancy, and as they exited it, they smiled as they saw all of the tall, fancy buildings throughout the city.

"Would you like to go to the castle first or somewhere else?" "It's almost lunchtime," said the young man.

"We want to go straight to the castle," Adora replied.

"Alright, you guys get in the cars and we will take you there safely as requested of the king," he said then she sighed and grabbed Alix by his arm.

"What is it?" he inquired.

"You, Cameron, Zavis, and Nina will be coming with me, the others, split yourselves into cars and be careful," Adora smiled.

"That sure is a shady smile," Alix said and she glanced at him as they got into the cars, then took off, heading to straight to the castle.

As they were driving through the city, they looked at how modern it was, their technology was as advanced as Adora's kingdom and she smiled.

"It's more similar to your kingdom, princess, well in a few ways," Alix said and Adora looked at him.

"Yeah, I know, except people have to get a permit here to even have beasts, which is not a bad idea considering how much violence among beast fighters and the owners there are, she replied.

"True, are you going to implement the same law in your kingdom too Adora?" he inquired.

"No, but there are other rules in our kingdom concerning the beasts," she replied as she rolled down the window and caught a balloon that had flown away from someone's hand, and Alix smiled as Adora looked at her and the heart-shaped balloon she was holding.

"Wait, can you please stop for a moment?" she asked as she saw a young lady running behind the car with two other balloons in her hands and Alix smiled as the young man pulled the car over.

"Thank you, God," the young lady panted, and Adora smiled.

"Catch your breath," Adora said to which the young lady smiled.
