Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Alix, come join us for dinner," Aerav said as Alix approached them, then took a seat and Ayden yawned.

"Get some sleep after you eat, you seem to be falling apart," Sarah advised, and Ayden smiled as they took their food and began eating.

While Alix was eating, he started coughing and Nina looked at him.

"Don't tell me you caught a cold," Nina said and Alix smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," he said, and Eliza leaned in closer to him since she was sitting right beside him, and he pulled away a little.

"W-what is it?" he questioned.

"Are you sure you will be fine?" she asked and at the same time Adora came behind and Eliza's eyes widened as she sensed an ominous aura behind her.

"A- Adora," she exclaimed.

"Don't you think you are invading his space Eliza?" she asked and the girl smiled nervously as she flung up from her seat and Yan blew a whistle.

"I have noticed Adora is a little protective when it comes to Alix," Kyllan observed, and Kyris scoffed.

"Of course she is, I think he is a valuable asset to her," Kyris said, looking at them.

"I am going to eat in my room," Adora said as she took her food and walked away, and Alix's eyes narrowed as her hair blew up and he noticed a black mark behind her neck.

'Is that a tattoo?' Alix wondered, then sighed and continued eating as Adora returned to her room, placed the tray of things on the side of her bed, removed her jacket, put her hair in a bun, removed her mask then sat on the bed and began eating her food.

"Seriously, why does he allow anyone to get so close to him?" she muttered then opened the seal on her chest and sighed.

"Your highness, another adventure I see, what are you getting so worked up about?" the voice within asked, and she scoffed.

"Just normal, irritating things," she explained.

"That's new," it said as she sipped her juice.

"What's strange about that?" "Isn't that normal?" she asked and it chuckled.

​ "Not with you, who is getting on your nerves?" it questioned.

"Just a certain someone, or perhaps more than one," she replied.

"I see, is that your student Alix?" it asked and she coughed.

'Give me a second, let me take this to the kitchen and get some ice cream," she replied, wiping her lips, then reapplied her mask and left the room with the tray.

A little while after the girl took the things to the kitchen. She collected her ice cream, then returned to her room, pushed the door in, and removed her mask.

'This is better, eating ice cream can be so relaxing," she said as she began to eat

"You are really frustrated, you know, once the seal is activated, I am sent into a world with a little bit of light, but it's like I'm sleeping, I can't see what you're doing or hear who you are talking to, the seal keeps me from interfering in your life because it's not normal."

"I am glad, but if you ever need my powers, I will hear your call and it will come to you, but I can only come or see what you are doing when you open the seal, I really hope I am not an obstacle in your life Adora," it replied, and she sighed.

"You are here, yet you are not, I know once the seal is closed off you can't interfere in my life, but I still feel bad, you are a living being, you are not an obstacle to me, I am going to get you out, I know every time I close the seal, you are shut off, I only get access to your powers, which I have never even used and I don't have any intention of using it, stop worrying about how I feel all the time," she said.

"Sorry, I can't help myself," it replied. "But be careful, if you get too angry, it will activate my powers, which you can use as well, no problem."

"I will be cautious of both of our powers," she said as the others went to bed, including Alix and Adora braced herself against the bed.

"Thank you for being here when I am alone," she said with her eyes turning orange as she heard someone sneeze.

"It would seem that someone caught a cold," she observed.

"You should go then, Adora, thanks for opening and talking to me again," it said and she frowned.

"Good night," she said.

"Good night," it replied, and she closed the seal, then placed the ice cream in her room's small refrigerator and reapplied her mask back on, opened her hair then left the room, forgetting to wear her jacket over her long nightgown.

"Who got the cold?" she wondered, recalling Alix sneezing earlier.

"Alix, are you awake?" She questioned as she entered his room, seeing his door slightly ajar.

"A- your highness," he said as he was about to remove his vest, and she smirked before locking his room door.

"Go on, take it off," she said, his gaze drawn to the mark behind her neck.

"No, I will leave it on, why are you here?" he asked as he sat on the bed, and she sighed when she noticed his gaze was drawn elsewhere.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked as she approached him, then leaned over him, causing him to fall back against the bed, and his eyes were drawn to her breast, and he swallowed deeply before turning away.

'She is very close, too close,' he thought.

"You are exposed," he said.

"Tell me what's on your mind, and I will raise off," she replied and he sighed then looked her in the eyes and her cheeks got pink as she raised off of him then sat on the bed and he looked at her while sitting up.

'I am getting too close to him, a little too close,' she thought while clenching her fists.
