Rise of the Malactric Heir

"I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble," she said as she looked at his face, then placed her hand on top of his hand, feeling his hand was warm again and not as cold as it had been.

"What time is it?" Adora asked as she turned to look at the clock by her bedside and noticed it was nearly 10 a.m.

"I slept in, and I have to say, I slept well," she said as she was about to get up, but at the same time, Alix pulled her and she was about to fall on top of him, but he woke up and grabbed her by the arm, holding her up, and her hair fell on his face.

"This is not my fault, you are the one that pulled me," she said then moved her hair from his face and he scoffed.

"I never said it was your fault, calm down, also good morning," he replied and she smiled then placed her hand against the bed and raised up from him and then he sat up on the bed.

"Did you sleep well?" she asked.

"You can say I did," he replied, and she got out of bed, grabbed the brush from the bedside drawer, and began brushing her long silky hair.

"Did I cause you any problems last night?" "And why are you in my bed?" she inquired.

"No, you didn't cause me any trouble, and it's also your fault I'm in your bed, you basically chained me to yourself, damn it," he replied, and she chuckled.

"I am not complaining," she said and he smirked.

"Good, because I was about to rip your arm off, for chaining me to it," he replied as he got out of bed, and her eyes twitched as she turned to face him.

"You are so mean, if I find you in my bed next time, even if it's my fault, I will beat the hell out of you," she said.

"Who is mean now? I'm going to my room because talking to you this early in the morning is giving me a headache," he responded.

"Huh? Oh really? Then perhaps I should detach your head from your body, idiot," she said to which he chuckled and exited her room then she smiled.

"He knows how to push my button, damn him," she muttered, placing her hair in a bun then went to freshen up as did Alix.

When Adora finished doing her morning routine, she got dressed and left the room, heading to the living room.

"Adora," Vince exclaimed as he ran up to her, and she looked at him before entering the living room.

"Slow down, you're going to fall," she said, and his feet slipped, but she grabbed his arm in time and sighed.

"No running in the hallway for you, Vince," she said and he grinned.

"Okay, I am sorry, good morning," he replied then she smiled.

"Good morning, Vince; where is your father?" she inquired.

"Papa got the flu, he's been working too hard," he explained, and she sighed.

"I'm right here, Vince," said the king as he approached them, and Adora smiled.

"Good morning, are you okay?" she asked and he sneezed.

"Good morning, yeah, I am fine," he replied.

"You don't look fine at all," she said.

"Don't worry, I am fine," he replied as they went into the living room and at the same time Alix entered and Adora looked at him.

"Morning Adora," Nina said as she held onto Adora.

"Are you still tired?" Adora asked.

"No, I'm just feeling lazy," she replied, and Adora smiled and patted her on the head.

"Go back to sleep if you want, you guys have all day to train, also your highness, did you get what I asked you for?" Adora asked and the king smiled.

"Yeah, got a bodyguard; he'll start working tomorrow," he replied.

"All right, now..." she said as she held her breath and exhaled deeply when her phone rang and she looked at it before answering it.

"Hello," she said.

"Did you believe what I said last night?" the individual asked.

"Hush, don't fatigue me, do you want to get on my nerves?" she asked.

"You know there is something wrong too, princess, you can't pretend not to see it, even I know something is wrong, Vellon is not the same anymore, you need to know that if you get in his way, he will hurt the people you care about and he won't stop, I couldn't say much at the party," the guy responded, revealing himself to be Vellon's so-called friend from the previous night's party.

"Look, I admit that I have a feeling something is wrong, but I'm not sure," she said.

"Don't ignore what I'm saying, princess; you used to know Vellon better than anyone; I know I'm an enemy, but things are starting to change, starting today," he replied before hanging up, and she lowered her head while gnashing her teeth remembering the demon within her and her promise.

"What the hell?" she asked.

"What's the matter?" Zavis asked when she clenched her fists.

'It's time I set you free,' Adora thought.

"Your highness, I'm going out for a bit; where is the most spiritual place here?" Adora inquired.

"That would be in the Valley of Crystals, it's full of energy, it's just past the mountains," he replied, and she sighed.

"I need to go take care of something unrelated to the enemy; I'm going alone and don't want anyone following me; this is my personal business, please guys, am I clear?" Adora inquired, and Alix glanced at her.

"Fine, go do your thing, but be careful," Kyris said, and Adora smiled.

"I can't teleport there; I'll see you guys later," she replied before departing with the king's motorbike, while the others exchanged glances.

"Is she going to be okay, guys?" Eliza inquired.

"Probably, whatever she is doing, she clearly doesn't want us to get involved, besides, I think we should respect this much and give her space too, she will tell us with time, Olivia replied and Kyris sighed.

"You are right, let's go have breakfast, then we can start training," Kyris suggested, and the others agreed. They went to the dining hall and began eating their breakfast while Adora drove past the hills, heading into the mountains.
