Rise of the Malactric Heir

After they entered the ship, they all returned to the living room, Scott looked at Adora and he sighed before approaching her and she glanced at him.

Adora smiled, knowing that Scott wanted to say something to her, but didn't know whether he should or should not.

"Is there something you want to say?" she asked.

"I am sorry for your loss," he responded and she smiled at him.

"It's fine, you don't have to apologize, I am fine," she said and Alix as well as Ifrit glanced at her, Alix's eyes narrowed as he looked at the smile on her face.

"Do you want us to leave for the city?" Scott asked.

"Yeah, let's take the rest of the day off, we will leave once everyone is ready, there is no need to rush, it's going to be a long day, relax, get some fresh air, you will need it, you can take off, in the meantime, I want to go check in on the others," she responded.

"All right, I will take off at once," Scott said before leaving and Adora took out her smartphone and looked at it before sighing.

"I will see you guys later," she added before walking away, Kyris exhaled deeply before sitting down and the others looked at him.

"What's bothering you?" Alix asked and Kyris glanced at him before scoffing.

"Things are just feeling different for some reason, I don't know why, but I got a bad feeling," he responded.

"Well, I think that's probably a feeling that we share right about now, I have got more than just a bad feeling about something," Ifrit said and Alix chuckled.

"I think I know where your bad feelings are coming from and why, it's related to Adora," Alix replied and Ifrit exhaled deeply.

"When we arrive in the city, I will be sure to take a lot of fresh air, maybe my mind is a little too hot today, it needs to cool down," he said and they all burst out laughing.

While they were talking about what they should do when they get to the city, Adora went into her room and sat down on the bed before looking at herself in the mirror, her eyes glowed red as they trembled.

'I am not going to become something that I know will create a void within me,' she thought before her eyes returned to normal and she dialed a number on the phone.

After a minute, the person answered her call and she sighed.

"Where are you?" she asked.

"I am taking a look into a few things, why?" the guy on the call asked.

"I am going to tell Alix the truth soon, I suggest you be here when it's time, you are the one who has to tell him as well, I am done hiding things, I am tired of this, you are a part of his past and you are basically the ones that saved him as a child," she responded and the person sighed.

"I get it, don't worry, when you are going to tell him, send me your location I will be there, I promise, in the meantime, take care of yourselves, the war will start soon whether anyone likes it or not," he said before ending the call and she got up and punched the wall before gritting her teeth.

"Why does this have to happen?" she mumbled when someone knocked on her room and she sighed.

"Come in," she said and Nina entered the room.

Adora looked at her and smiled as the girl approached her then Adora patted her on her head and she smiled.

"We will be arriving in a few minutes, the others did some research and already decided where they wanted to go, aren't you coming with us?" she asked and Adora smiled.

"I am not sure if I will..." she responded.

"Of course, you will," Alix said as he entered the room.

Both of them turned around and looked at Alix as he approached Adora, he leaned in closer to her and her cheeks flushed as a smirk appeared on his face.

"Wh- What are you doing?" she asked and he chuckled.

"You have a date with me, don't forget that, I will be taking you out to a few nice places, don't try and change your mind, just shut up and come along," he responded before leaving and she left standing there with nothing else to say.

"Wow, well he got the best of you, that's something," Nina said and Adora smiled nervously as Nina laughed.

Adora then sighed and Nina glanced at her with a gentle smile on her face since she has never seen anyone with Adora like that before and she was pleased to know that it was Alix.

After Alix left Adora's room, he went to the deck in the open area and he took a deep breath then a smile appeared on his face.

'I wonder if I was rude, but, that was the only way to get her to come along without her even trying to refuse, I think I won't let this part of my life go, I am actually starting to be happy, I will show how selfish I can be,' he thought as Ifrit approached him and he glanced at him.

"What are you doing here all alone?" Ifrit asked.

"I am thinking of ways to handle Adora," he responded and Ifrit laughed and then patted him on the shoulder.

"That's quite a job, but she is not hard to handle, that is if you are actually interested in her, you know what I mean," Ifrit said and Alix scoffed.

"Yeah, I know what you mean, I know I can handle her, but..." Alix replied and Ifrit exhaled deeply.

"There's a lot to deal with right now, you guys should be happy, who knows how long you might have it for, show her what your intentions are, show her what you truly want to have with her, she will understand," Ifrit said and Alix nodded as the ship came to a stop.

Adora and the others came to the deck and they saw that they had arrived at the city, they all smiled as Scott looked for a place to land the ship.
