Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 493 Intertwined

When everyone saw the stars in her eyes, they left staring at her and she sighed as her father placed his glass down on the table and at the same time the demon lord walked in and his eyes widened when he saw that and he approached her. 

She looked at him and he lowered his head then she smiled at him and he scoffed before sitting down and the king and queen as well as the others, wondered what was going on and why her eyes were like that in the first place. 

"How?" the demon lord asked and she sighed then lowered her head and just as her mother was about to grab her hand, an energy came out of the marking on her hand, hitting her hand away and she gasped as did the others. 

"You can't, not like that, you will get hurt, it will happen to anyone, I am sorry," she said and the queen smiled at her. 

"It's okay, there is no need to apologize, Adora, just explain please," she replied and Adora nodded. 

"It's a prophecy, am I wrong Adora? A slightly messed up one, don't you think you should have told me more?" the demon lord asked and she lowered her gaze. 

"I am sorry, I didn't want you to worry too much, but even if I did explain, it wouldn't have been of any use, I am not complaining that much about it either," she responded and his eyes narrowed as he looked at her and she smiled. 

"Adora, what kind of prophecy is he talking about here?" Alix asked and she glanced at him. 

"I am going to tell you now, relax, it is not as bad as you guys may think, there is no need to worry or anything, I just want to be honest and not keep certain things from you guys anymore, I want to clear most things up," she responded. 

'Why do I feel as though she won't tell us the full truth about this? Maybe I am just overthinking but it's her, we are talking about, she is more than just similar, she likes to take all the pressure on her shoulder, rather than sharing it,' He thought as his brows furrowed. 

"Adora, what is the prophecy? Don't even think about leaving out any details, also is this connected to what happened last night?" her father asked as he stared at her and she shook her head no. 

"Don't you dare lie to me!" he shouted and she flinched as everyone stared at him and Alix sighed. 

"Mother found out about it on the night she died, that's when I first found out as well and it's also when the stars first began appearing and it got frequent the stronger, I got, the prophecy was one that was probably foretold before we were born, when exactly, I don't know," she said. 

"Is that so? Tell me, how did your mother find out?" he asked and she lowered her gaze. 

"From his voice, he is the only one that knew other then me, after she died, after all, we are all connected one way or the other," she responded. 

"Are you saying what I think you are saying? Answer me..." her father said. 

"What are you saying?" she asked. 

"Is your life connected to his or something? Did he mark you?" he asked and Alix glanced at her. 

'I don't think that's it,' Alix tought. 

"Not mark or connected in the way you think, our fates are intertwined, I was bound to meet him, one way or the other, in a good way or in a bad one, he is not someone I can hide from," she said. 

"Why didn't you tell me about this? I am your father, before your king Adora, I am supposed to know about these things, why do you always keep me in the dark about it?" he shouted and she flinched as did the others. 

"Your Highness," Alix said as he stood up and the king was about to grab her hand, but her eyes began glowing brighter and she saw in the glass. 

"Not right now, damn it..." she mumbled as she stood up then closed her eyes before exhaling deeply. 

"Adora..." Alix said as he placed his hand on her shoulder and she glanced at his hand. 

"I am fine, it won't happen again, well not anytime soon, in order for you guys to understand it seems that I would have to do a bit more than just this," she replied as she turned to her father. 

"Father, I am sorry, I know you have a right to know, but I did what I did to not lose you as well, even if you are angry, I don't regret it, I am a big girl and I will make my own decisions, I will not risk losing another parent, remember that, I will do what it takes, nothing anyone says will change that, call me selfish, I don't care, I have seen enough," she said with a piercing look in her eyes. 

'I am not seeing wrong, she and Aliz, they are starting to look like a reflection of each other, both with a dark past, both with similar thoughts, but Alix has changed a bit and so did she, now because of him, she is moving,' Dral thought. 

"Kyris, create the image as I explain it, please," she said and he stood up then she sighed. 

"All right, first three stars, two big ones and one small one in the center of the two, connect them," she said as he stared at her with his brows furrowed. 

"Adora, what is the meaning of this?" he asked. 

"There are three of us in the prophecy, in this era so I need to explain a bit, don't I?" she asked and he sighed then created the image in the air before them, just as she told him to. 

"Now, the bigger one, is the enemy, the middle, meaning the small one is me... The three stars are connected by fate, that can be a harsh thing at times, one can even be at the mercy of the other," she said as they stared at her. 

"The other one, the star beside you, that's me, right?" Alix asked as his eyes began glowing with the stars as well and the others gasped as they stared at him.
