Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Adora, don't you feel uneasy wearing that mask all day?" Nina asked as they drove away and Adora looked at her.

"Not really, no, I guess it's because I'm used to it now, I've been wearing it for years, but I want to take it off now," she replied, and Nina smiled.

"Then you should, you don't have to tell anyone, but get some fresh air," Nina suggested.

"I want to, but I don't think I can right now," she said.

"Due to what's going on?" Nina asked.

"I guess so," she replied as she removed her mask, and Nina smiled brightly, her gaze fixed on the girl's beauty as she sipped her cappuccino.

"A lot of guys would go after you even more if you took that mask off in public," Nina said, and Adora smiled as she glanced at the girl, then took a donut from the pastry box and ate it.

"I see this is Sally's, her things are delicious," Adora commented as the car came to a halt.

"We're at the lab now, he asked to see you," Nina explained.

Adora then wiped her lips before reapplying her mask and exiting the car, the girl looked around at the yard they were in, the glass building surrounding them, and the tight security on every corner then sighed.

"Come on let's go," Adora said as she walked off and Nina followed her.

"Your highness," said the guard at the door as someone watched them from the camera above the glass door.

"I'm here to see Kyllan," she said and the glass door slid open.

"Follow me," he said as he walked in, and they did.

"I don't like this place, Adora," Nina said as she gripped the princess's arm and Adora looked around the corridor at all the cameras as they boarded an elevator heading down.

"I don't like it either," Adora said, and the guard laughed.

"It's creepy, that's all there is to it, nothing more than tormenting the lives of those they can figure out," the guard said as he looked Adora in the eyes with pleading eyes and she lowered her head.

"We are here," the guard said as they left the elevator and entered a hallway, Adora's eyes widened as she saw a group of people in separate white rooms.

"Where is Kyllan?" she questioned.

"Your highness," a doctor said as he approached her, and she gave him a stern look.

"Where is he?" she asked.

"You can come with me," he said as he walked away, leaving her and Nina with no choice but to follow him to a room to another white room, and the door opened on its own.

"Adora," Kylla exclaimed as she walked into the room and noticed him sitting on the bed with a collar around his neck.

"Hey," she said and he smiled.

"Thank you for coming," he replied as tears welled up in his eyes and she turned away from him.

"What's with the collar around his neck?" she questioned.

"It's a restraint; we don't know what he is," said the doctor.

"When are you going to let him go?" Nina questioned.

"They are not sure," Kyllan said, and Nina's eyes widened as Adora clenched her fists.

"Is that right?" Adora asked as she approached Kyllan and was about to touch his collar when the doctor called her name and she turned to face him.

"You will get hurt if you touch that," he warned and Adora moved away from Kyllan, who lowered his head.

"Is my life over, Adora?" Kyllan inquired, sighing.

"No, it's not over, Kyllan; neither I nor Leon will let you stay in here," she replied.

"Leon?" he asked.

"Yeah, he's worried about you," she said, and Kyllan smiled.

"I see, you don't need to worry about me so much, they keep asking me how I am like this but I don't know, Adora, you have to believe me," he said as she sat beside him.

"I believe you; I don't think anyone who changes like you understands why and what happened to them, or how it happened," she replied, and he smiled.

"Thank you very much, Adora," he said.

"You are welcome; try to survive their tests; I'll get you out soon, okay?" she stated.

"I will do my best, tell Yola I'm sorry I lost, and I hope he's not disappointed," he said.

"Your brothers are not disappointed in you, Kyllan; they simply want you back; you may not realize it, but they don't care that you lost," she explained, and he sighed in relief.

"Your highness, we don't know if we'll find an answer soon," the doctor stated and Adora scoffed.

"You are not keeping him here, don't try to stand against me, those who did ended up burning in hell, I will see you soon Kyllan, let my team match finish," she said.

"I'll wait; see you soon?" he replied and Nina smiled, knowing that Adora will wreak havoc on the lab and the parliament if they oppose her and try to prevent her from releasing Kyllan.

"Bye," Adora said to the doctor as she walked out of the room, and Kyllan leaned back on the bed, relieved.

"She won't have her way just because she's the princess; don't think you'll be leaving here anytime soon; you will be getting a company soon, and one of her own teammates will be joining you," the doctor warned Kyllan as Adora left with Nina.

"W-what are you talking about?" he inquired, to which the doctor scoffed.

"You will see soon enough, kid, we won't let things like you walk around and do whatever you want," he replied, and Kyllan's hands trembled as the doctor walked out of the room.

"I wish I could give this information to Adora, she needs to be careful, something very shady is going on in this kingdom, I am starting to feel there might be no way for me to leave unless I do what they want me to but I will wait until her team's match is over," Kyllan mumbled, hoping Adora would figure things out.
