Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Hey," he said and she turned around to look at him.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Your body won't relax because your mind isn't, is it?" he asked and she pouted as he stared at her then smiled.

"I know it is, that's why I tried so hard, yet it didn't work, it seems as though I will have to try something else," she sighed, and Cameron chuckled as he approached them.

"You just need to relax, when we get back home, we have plans to help each other, it will be in a tough area but no matter, we will get through it together," he said, and she smiled as Alix noticed the red streak in her hair.

"What's up with the red streak, Adora?" Alix asked.

"I did something to it, I had to because something was bothering me a bit too much and I just didn't want it to anymore," she responded.

"I see, what you are saying or more like the way you are saying it is weird but, try blue streak, it'll look good too," he said as he walked away, and she smiled as Cameron gazed at her.

"What?" she asked.

"I see how things are," he responded.

"What do you mean?" she inquired.

"You know what I mean," he replied.

"No, I don't, don't turn into Kyris," she said before going to the kitchen to get something to eat, and Cameron chuckled as he went to his room to begin packing.

"Nina," Adora said as she walked into the kitchen and noticed the girl cooking.

"Can you taste this for me, Adora? I wanted to try something new today because dinner will be ready soon," she said and Adora took the spoon from her and tasted the sweet dessert she had made.

"It's fantastic; it's a cheesecake, right?" Adora inquired, and Nina nodded.

"You're a fantastic cook, Nina; you're the first succubus I've met who enjoys cooking," she said, and Nina smiled.

"Thank you," she replied, "but I'd like to see someone else cook something as well; the person is a good cook."

"Who?" Adora inquired.

"You, I know how much you enjoy making desserts, Adora," she replied, hugging Adora from behind and the princess smiled.

"I was only gone for what? A minute and here she is trying to take my woman from me," Yan said after entering the kitchen and both of the girls chuckled.

"You two seem comfortable there," he said as he sat on a stool and Nina off of Adora.

"When you're jealous, Yan, you're so sweet," Adora said as she approached him, and he grinned.

"I am not jealous, you know I like teasing you," he replied and Adora patted him on the head.

"Believe me, I know, your future wife is a great cook, you are lucky to have her, well each other, to be honest," she said and Nina's cheeks flushed.

"Adora, you..." she mumbled, to which Adora smiled and Yan laughed.

"She is right, you know that very well too, there are hardly times when she is not, you are the best Nina, in case you are wondering, I have no shame in saying it sweetie," he replied with a wink, and Nina pouted.

"You sure are brave Yan, you two are perfect for each other, so cute, I am glad you guys decided to start dating, I hope you love good with each other," Adora said and Nina's cheeks flushed even more staring at the two of them, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, that's enough from both of you, thanks for the compliment though, I really appreciate it," Nina said and they grinned.

"You know I love you," Yan said, and Nina smiled brightly as Adora looked at them and sighed in relief.

"I am glad, you two get along so well, keep on being like this, happy," Adora said and they nodded.

"Good, it's already night; I will freshen up before joining you guys for dinner, and Nina, I want more cheesecake," Adora said.

"Don't worry, you will always get what I make," she replied, before leaving to her room to freshen up.

While Adora was bathing, the maids helped lay out the food on the table in the living room for them to eat dinner there while watching an anime movie that they all wanted to watch but didn't get a chance to sit down and watch together.

When Adora finished taking her bath, she went to the living room and Alix tapped on the couch where he was sitting.

"Come sit," he said, and she sat next to him.

"Now, let's enjoy this together, it's funny, filled with action and romance, slice of life and magic, and so on, I have no intention of checking what other tags it has, all I know is it's nice," Zavis said, and they smiled before taking their food and starting to eat while the movie began, and even the king and Vince joined them to relax a bit since they had so much going on.

Alix looked at Adora and smiled as she watched TV and she looked at him, then leaned in closer and wiped the side of his lip.

"You had chicken sauce there," she pointed out.

"Thank you," he replied.

"You are welcome," she said while clenching her fists and lowering her head.

'Things feel normal here, which is nice,' she thought before smiling.

"Could you please pass me a bottle of juice?" Adora asked, and Alix glanced at her.

"Flavor?" he asked.

"Right now, any except orange," she replied before he grabbed a cold bottle of juice from the table and passed it to her.

"A different flavor, this is nice, cherry, thank you," she said and he smiled.

"You are welcome," he replied, and they resumed watching the movie.

When everyone had finished their dinner, the maids brought them the desserts, then went home and they all took what they wanted, then turned off the lights and ate the desserts while watching the movie, and some of them were bracing against each other, letting their stress go away, even if it was only for a little while.
