Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Your highness, we want to live," one of the members said, and Adora fixed her gaze on the captain.

"Get on the ship, I will take you to the next port, drop you off there, and if you guys had gold on the ship, you can still get it back, dive down," she replied.

"Really? Will you assist us? "another questioned.

"Adora, are you sure you want to do this?" Eliza asked.

"I can't just leave them all to die now can I?" she asked.

"Thank you," said the captain.

"As for you, captain," Adora said, "I will place a curse on you; do wrong and you will die; believe me, I am not lying; I am capable of cursing someone for eternity."

"I am not sure about this one, Adora," Nina admitted, and Adora sighed.

"Don't worry, the curse has rules; believe it would be a walking prison for him, that's a good punishment, just one crime and he'll be dead, it assures one a lot of things," Adora replied, and Nina smiled.

"Isn't she being a little too open? not being cautious enough?" Aerav inquired, and the captain sighed as Adora's body began to glow purple, and Alix's eyes widened as he noticed the darkness surrounding her.

"This will hurt," Adora warned, placing her hand on the captain's chest. Suddenly, his eyes turned pink, and pain ran through his entire body, prompting him to scream.

"Where is she placing the curse exactly?" Alix asked.

"Adora's curse cannot be broken by anyone," Kyris replied, before her body returned to normal and the captain stopped screaming.

"Your punishment would have been life in prison, this is not different, you will fear your entire life, if you do anything wrong, you will die in an instant, this is a bit worse than prison, every time you think of something wrong, the pain will surge through your body, if you do the wrong deed, you will be dead in minutes, it won't be painless, you will spend every moment of your life regretting and fearing, you will feel the pain you gave others," Adora explained.

"That is worse than being in prison indeed," Alix responded.

"Yeah, but he deserves it," Kyllan said.

​ "He does, I know," Alix said as Adora clutched her head.

"Kyris, help his crew members get the gold, they must have sunk, use magic, also put bands on all of their wrists, if they try anything, make sure it kills them," Adora said as she walked away.

"Sure thing, damn, I feel sorry for you captain, living a life like the one she's giving you, it's bad for someone like you," Kyris replied as his staff appeared in his hand and he placed it above the water, which began to vibrate and a pile of gold appeared, which he placed on the deck then cleaned up the mess Adora and the captain made during their fight by using magic.

"Nina, go check on Adora, I don't have a good feeling," Kyris said as he assisted the crew members.

"I can go if you want," Alix said, and Nina smiled.

"Go on, make sure she's okay," Nina and he left.

"That look in her eyes, it's as if she wants to kill the captain; she found one of the worst punishments for him, which isn't bad, but I'm worried about her; I hope she's okay," Nina muttered.

"Adora will not allow certain things to overcome her; I wonder what she isn't telling us; I guess we should give her more time," Yan said, and Kyris smiled.

"You are right, we should give her more time and try not to push her too much, she seems really stressed out at times, being her must be difficult, yet at times it's as if you're in the presence of someone who doesn't have any problems because of how calm she can be, Kyris replied while putting magical bands on the entire pirate crew.

"I don't care what she did to me, but she is generous enough to help the crew members despite the fact that they worked for me, she must be great to you guys," the captain said, and Kyris scoffed.

"You sure are quick to notice, you might have noticed that she could have killed you in the first round of your fight," Kyris replied with an evil grin that sent the captain shivering.

"You are a strange bunch," the captain muttered, and Nina scoffed.

"That's because there is only one person we follow, rules don't matter to those who trained under Adora, we know what's right from wrong and even if we have to break the law, we will do what is right, we don't care who we have to remove from our way, we are trained in an entirely different way," Nina explained as her eyes glowed green and Yan smiled.

"That's high praise coming from Nina, she's a succubus, she hates most people, so take it from her," Yan said as they led the crew members into the ship and the cook served them all food after they settled into the living area.

"Whatever, I would have left you guys to starve after what he has done," Aerav said, and Kyris and the others smiled.

"Adora," Alix called out as he knocked on her room door, which she opened.

"What exactly is it? Are they causing trouble? If that's the case, just shove them off the ship again; it doesn't matter that the ship is now moving again; they brought it on themselves," Adora said and Alix narrowed his eyes and she looked at him.

"W-what?" she questioned.

"I came here to check on you, on Nina's behalf, the pirates aren't causing any trouble, I think they are afraid of being on this ship with us, they won't try anything, they are really afraid and that's one thing I am certain about but while being afraid they are glad you didn't kill them," he responded, and she sighed, bracing her head against his chest.
