Rise of the Malactric Heir

The king then poured himself a glass of wine and looked at the team.

"I have a feeling today might backfire on you guys, but my main concern is the princess; if he truly is a villain, this is not going to end well, and we are still so far behind," the king said.

"I'm not sure what's up with Vellon, but he obviously didn't show much remorse for attacking her earlier, but I still don't think we should judge yet, even though I felt like sticking an ice pick through his heart," Alix smiled, and Sarah smiled nervously.

"You have a frightening smile at times, Alix," Sarah said.

"I believe the same," Ayden replied.

"Nonsense, my smile is fine, I don't know what you're talking about," he said before continuing to eat, and Kyris chuckled.

"You are one interesting character Alix, but you are right, we still can't judge even if we want to, we should just wait and see what the princess says about this," Kyris replied and Alix nodded.

"You are correct, we should wait," Kyllan said as they all continued eating, and Alix's eyes narrowed as he remembered the situation earlier and sensed something was wrong.

A little while after, Alix finished eating and got up, then looked at the others.

"I am going to call it a night guys," he said.

"Same here, you might want to rest, you carried her for a while," Kyris replied as he stretched off.

"I will be fine, but thanks and good night to all of you," he said and they smiled.

"Good night," they replied, and some went to their rooms to call it a night, while others went to watch TV and do other things.

Alix went to his room to freshen up, then changed and when he finished, he was about to go watch TV when he decided to check on the princess.

'I'm not a babysitter, but I owe her a lot, and a lot has been changing lately, including me,' Alix thought as he entered her room then closed the door behind him and noticed she wasn't on her bed.

"A- Alix," she muttered, and his eyes shook as he stared at her, standing there, at the bathroom door, wrapped in a towel, her hair wet, dangling down her body, and her skin shimmering from the light reflecting on the water on her.

"You..." she said as her eyes glowed red, then he sighed and smirked.

"This isn't going to be like the last time; I'm not going to take a hit because I don't deserve one, this is a genuine mistake, princess," he replied, his gaze fixed on her.

"You are still staring, pervert," she said as she rushed towards him and her towel was about to fall, but he scoffed and turned away, and before she could fall, he lifted his right hand up and grabbed her arm while looking away, and she exhaled deeply, holding onto her towel, then smiled and properly raised herself.

"You are quite the gentleman at times, for a guy," she said.

"Be careful, you're praising me," he replied, and she chuckled.

"I'll change in the bathroom," she said, going into the bathroom, while he sat down on the bed and sighed.

"Just now, her eyes looked like those of a raging bull," he said.

"I can hear you, Alix," she replied, and he scoffed.

"I'm only telling you the truth; how long have you been awake?" He asked, and she emerged from the bath wearing her nightdress, a long, long-sleeved blue silky nightdress with a small flare at the bottom.

"What happened after I fainted? Did they cause you guys any harm? "As she approached Alix, she asked, and he sighed.

"Don't worry, they left without doing anything," he replied, and she sighed, then clutched her aching head, and Alix was about to ask her a question when her eyes widened and she rushed out of the room, and he followed her.

When the others noticed them rushing past the living room, they got up and followed them out of the castle, and Adora saw the tiger emerge from the shadows and was about to collapse on the ground when she grabbed her.

"Girl," she said, and the tiger looked at her with tired eyes.

"Your highness, don't worry, I am fine, just tired," she replied, to which Adora smiled and patted her on the head.

"Tell me what happened; I dispatched you to assist Misran and the others," she said.

"Misran? Why?" Kyris inquired.

"Vellon had sent his boss's minions after them, to use them as leverage, which is why I agreed to give him the crystal, but then I remembered how powerful my tiger is, so I sent her to help them, then destroyed the crystal, those things are really powerful, Vellon managed to track them down, I am sure that was difficult but yet he found them, Misran and the others are strong, so I had to make a choice," she replied, and Alix and the others smiled.

"Ah, that's wonderful; I'm glad you didn't succumb to Vellon," Zavis said, and Adora smiled.

"My feelings are right, this is getting a lot harder now, he won't be able to track the others down so easy, messing with the other teams was a mistake, I hope this doesn't reach team one as yet, yes they know what's going on but they were ordered to stay out of it for now, but I doubt they will this time," Kyris replied and Adora glanced at him then the tiger sighed.

"Misran is fine, they were surrounded in the woods when I arrived, they were about to fight back, but I used my tail wind and blew half of the woods away, avoiding a fight and we got out of there, they are back home now but your highness," the tiger said as they all listened.

"What is it?" Adora asked.

"Misran wants to contact the others now, he along with his team members are angry, like really angry," she responded and Adora lowered her head.
