Rise of the Malactric Heir

"I can't wait to see what we'll get; I'm not sure if we'll be able to go to another party after this one," Nina said.

"True, things are going to get hectic," Sarah replied, and Olivia nodded in agreement.

"Guys, if you run into the enemy, don't get into a fight, we don't want that right now, and don't attack unless they attack first," Adora advised.

"Got it, don't worry, we know what we have to do and it's best to stick together, the enemies are cunning," Olivia responded, and the others smiled.

"After a short drive, they arrived at one of the city's largest malls within the city, parked, then got out of the car and went inside, where they left staring at how big it was and how many people there were.

"It's huge, Nina; you know where the store is, right?" Eliza inquired.

"Yeah, I do, it's on the second floor of the mall, let's go," Nina replied as they boarded the escalator to the mall's second floor.

"There, glimmering girls," Nina said, and Adora smiled as they walked to the store, and as the door opened automatically, the girls entered, and the cold AC breeze brushed against their cheeks as they sniffed in the sweet scent within the store.

"Well, well," Sarah said, "I guess no girl can ever say they didn't find what they were looking for in here, they have everything."

"All right, let's start looking," Olivia replied, and the girls began looking for what they would like.

Adora felt as if someone was watching her while searching, but when she turned around to look, she saw no one, but yet felt strange.

"Calm down, it's nothing," Adora muttered as she noticed the air around her becoming heavier and her eyes turning red, but she ignored it and kept on searching.

"Adora, come here for a sec please," Nina said and Adora went to her and she showed her a wonderful dress that she would be comfortable with and Adora smiled.

"This will do, it's nice and soft on the inside; now all I need is shoes and jewelleries," Adora said, and Nina smiled.

"Well, you got what would suit you, I can't wait to see you in it," Nina replied as she wrapped her arm around Adora's and they continued searching for the other items, with Adora assisting Nina in selecting a dress.

'Is someone really watching us or am I just being paranoid?' Adora wondered, exhaling deeply.

"What's the problem?" Eliza inquired.

"Nothing, I'm just not someone who goes shopping very often," she explained.

"We know, but don't worry, we're all here to help," Olivia said, smiling.

"She's right, Adora, we know how you work," Nina pointed out, and Adora smiled.

"I'm glad you know, now let's get this shopping over with, I have other things to get back to," she responded, and they laughed before continuing shopping.

As Adora tried on shoes that would go with her dress and fit her, she had the same sense of being watched and gnashed her teeth.

"I don't like feeling uneasy at all," she mumbled as her eyes glowed green and she looked around before exiting the store, where she saw no one suspicious except a few guys passing by with sparkly eyes.

"Adora," Nina said as she grabbed her arm and drew her back into the store.

"Nina," she said.

"You look like if something is bothering you, what's the matter?" Nina asked.

"I just feel like someone is watching us," she replied, and Nina sighed.

"I'm not going to doubt you because someone could be," she said.

"Well, let's just get our things and leave," Olivia suggested and the girl agreed with her.

"I don't like it when people spy on me; it gets on my nerves," Adora said, and Nina nervously smiled before placing her hand on Adora's shoulder and the princess looked at her.

"I understand how you feel, but right now, I need you to stay calm; believe me, I find that quite annoying as well," Nina said, and Adora sighed.

"All right, I'll stay calm, but if I find that person, I'm going to beat the hell out of them," she replied, and Nina laughed.

"You are free to do whatever you want if you find that person," Sarah said, and Adora smiled before picking out her shoes and the others went to get the rest of the things needed for their outfits.

The girls shopped for more than two hours, and when they had everything they needed, they paid and left the store.

"Shopping is tiring, it takes too long, I'll never go shopping for these things again," Adora said as they walked back to the car and the others laughed.

"I understand how you feel very well," Sarah replied as they loaded the bags into the car and drove off, heading back to the castle because Adora had things she needed to take care of for the king since she promised to help him out for the day.

"Adora, you're quite close to the king, aren't you?" Eliza inquired.

"Yeah, I am, and it's probably due to Vince," she replied.

"You have a nice relationship with them," Eliza said, and Adora smiled.

"Yeah, I know," she replied, and after a short drive, they arrived back at the castle, where Adora noticed the boys training on the front lawn and smiled as they got out of the car.

"You guys sure took your time," Alix teased and Adora scoffed.

"Do you require assistance?" Kyris inquired as they removed the bags from the car.

"No, thank you; we are fine," Olivia replied, and the boys laughed.

"How did it go?" Aerav asked.

"Well, it would seem that some of you took too long," Yan said, and Adora and Sarah both sighed.

"It was indeed too long, more than two hours; I understand that some take longer, but..." Alix patted Adora on the shoulder as she spoke.

"You'll get used to it," he replied, her brow furrowed.

"I feel like breaking your arm right now," she said and he grinned.

'Still can't give a truly happy smile, I guess it's the same with me, Alix, someday you will smile like a blooming flower," Adora thought.

"Well, I will take this to my room, then get going with my work," Adora said as she left along with the others.
